Eh…humans were telling stories for tens of thousands of years-myths and religion were used and often were inseparable from politics, and political propaganda is most successful when it speaks to people’s moral intuitions.

I think they are actually deeply connected. Because the things they express:

1. Identity
2. Meaning/purpose in life
3. Sense-how does the world work/why is it like this?

Religious propaganda was used all the time in the medieval period, and myths according to Plato were useful for their moral content.
We're starting to derail a thread that's moving so fast as it is so we're gonna have to wrap this up but one last thing I wanted to point out another difference between Lucas SW and Disney SW (specifically Gilroy's Andor) is that Lucas intended for Star Wars to be an escape from the real world while Gilroy likes to insinuate that Andor is a reflection of the real world. Two very different things.

Fetterman: “We should have learned the lesson back in 2020, absolutely, there was righteous outrage over what happened to George Floyd, but that never means that you can support or, be quiet, if there's destruction or rioting and destroying and looting and those kinds of things.
Its telling when the democrat with literal brain damage makes more sense than the majority those trying to reeesist Drumpf and lead the party.

Watching all these stupid protestors makes me think how much more dangerous they would be if they were white and organized.
Its hilarious to me that fat beaners and handmaidens are the backbone of resistance for foreign child molesters and murderers while calling themselves "ungovernable."
A reminder that a missile strike was considered to take out Marvin Heemeyer because he made his Killdozer. Follow the way of the white man and build something worthy enough to warrant a missile strike before you even think about calling yourself "ungovernable".

The only ungovernable thing about these beaners is their diet.
 
Black people may not like whitey overly much, but they are more American then the Beaners and have a better claim to being here then the Mexicans do.
The Black man TM at least realizes, deep down, that this is his home, and frankly, he wouldn't be welcome in any other country. Sure he TALKS about going to Africa. But he will never leave because they are niggers to his American ass.
 
People.


Seven thousand.



I’ve already spent days arguing with one creationist. I don’t want to have so for another.

To prevent a derail, I’ll say this-the emergence of modern science in opposition to the Bible happened in Christian societies often by Christian’s-if the scientific method vindicated Usher and Genesis literally-we would be reading about Eden in science textbooks.
 
This just in violent foreigner insurrectionists now shooting with deadly baby killing ammunition innocent law enforcement officers armed with sticks and paintball guns.
 
LA Schools Superintendent Alberto Carvalho announced that he has ordered local law enforcement to "INTERVENE and INTERFERE" with any federal agency conducting immigration enforcement.

Like I said:
This is the one thing I've been saying would really tip this off into Boogaloo Territory, is if Newsom or Bass ordered LEOs or anyone armed under their control to use force to oppose ICE, instead of just not helping them. Or use force to defend protesters vs Federals.
Maybe finally something is happening?
 
100% of Indians and Brazilians re non white, why is there total COMBINED incarcerated people amount lower than ours, not per captia, not by some fucked measurement. 1.5 billion inidians and Brazilians have less criminals than the USA, how do you square that?
India is itself an open air prison for the crime of being born Indian.
