USA cannot and will not compete with China in terms of fairer deals and more humane investments and loans. But progranda is something the USA excells at.

Not even in an 100 years can China develop a progranda network like the United States. Maybe in 300, in reference to Liu Xiaobo, the most principled(Not CIA backed) of the racist American dog Chinese libs borne from the Deng era promotion of Western thoughts.

Overall, this is outwardly the smartest play the USA can do to compete with China. Just lie, lol.

Very true. The worst Chinese and Vietnamese food are in those areas.

Obama outflanked Bernie again. 2-0

Oh and the Philosopher’s Stone element also was important throughout the 2003 show too. The old show was so tight and focus with the starting elements and premise besides with some stuff dragging it down, needing new characters to fill in despite it making great use of the characters we start with.

Okay, now it’s getting back to me. The plot points linger longer like the dead mother instead of being ‘well that happened’ that it ended up being in brotherhood. Scar is proven more right in his fight against the genocidal state in 2003 I think. Or somehow the 2003 version did the same thing with Scar as brotherhood despite having another massacre that is an echo of the genocide. Been awhile since I watch the 2003 version.

Just gotta not watch the YouTube vid and say no. Also, the best anime is Revolutionary Girl Utena by a long shot for me.

Also hot take, I like the 2003 version better despite being more of a mess. It was a lot more character driven for the brothers, the villains were better thematically, more Gothic, beats the shit out of Ed like the dumb 13 year kid reddit atheist he is with thermodynamics lol.

Quip, 2003 was more about brotherhood than fatherhood(fma: brotherhood), end quip. The broader and general brotherhood theme of the newer version was too saccharine for me honestly.

The family sitcom at its origins is a fairly conservative genre of propaganda like Father Knows Best from the 50s. There’s a reason a lot of more comedic sitcoms thereafter in some ways a rejection of the 50s pro nuclear family. Like the Simpsons and Moral Orel at the extreme end.

I only read the bylines of the reviews, sniff, of Spy x Family and it seems like it is comfy at the functional end of family sitcoms. Correct if wrong.

The only one I remember is ww2 where the soviets and uk did a joint invasion of Iran to cut off any possible Nazi Germany supply of oil and influence. Plus another supply point for the liberal regimes to the USSR. The UK stayed longer in Iran after ww2 and the rest is history.

It is obvious when he doing his own shit lib commentary like “Interesting, the communist are pro workers, but are so against the Tsarist bureaucrats workers who burn the offices and paper work of state.” Plus possibly using a strange none mainstream bias source or pov of the Kornilov affair being the few instances of sus history, the reactionary coup members nobly killed themselves. Or killed themselves because Kerensky dressed them down so hard. Lol.

Still, I listened to the Russian episodes, not like there’s any other easy listening alternative to that whole section of history. You’ll never have unbiased works unless you’re reading or have access to the direct sources.

Ah. The early episodes, around 10-15 can be seen as a over correction for zeta not spending time on one location and on a ‘crew/team’ of the cast. On the third space colony setting it gets better for most people. Maybe after 15 episodes.

What episodes are you at? The end of ZZ is why Char is counterattacking, more context. Amuro stuff you got from zeta, first instincts is to laze around under a fascist regime rather than to fight it.

At first glance, only Monster makes sense. It is basically what if Charles Manson was a soviet thing with European characteristics. Although, it been awhile since I watch and read it.

Gundam makes sense if you’re pro federation/cop and take in face value in the movie(not in the pic) Amuro when he talks shit about revolutionaries doing nothing, but literally on the thing that can change the tractory of history and stops it.
