Well they own almost everything

Disney bought out everyone

I don't think proposing a nuclear strike on disneyland is appropriate for this forum, even as a joke. I thought this forum was supposed to have left the bad shit from GAF behind?

Can we, like, not do this? You'd be putting plenty of innocent workers in harm's way. I know, I know, jokes, but still...

[bdoughty]

That thread is from a gay person who kept getting harassed for various things after coming out.

Some of you are such repugnant pricks.

They seem more concerned about the food than homophobia.  Bring some shit to the dinner that you can eat and not make everyone else suffer.

I’m also VERY particular about my diet, especially lately. It’s important to me to avoid wheat/carbs/dairy. And for sure at these events, most, if not all of the food, will be wheat/carbs/dairy. And I’ll look rude if I just sit and don’t eat (although I obviously already look rude almost never attending things).

I dunno, I basically just don’t go because I don’t want to eat crap that’ll make me feel sluggish and drained and because I just feel like it’s all very forced.

Also plenty of other people complaining about their families in that thread and I would imagine most of those families are just fine with them not attending.

I feel you OP. I hate going to family gatherings. I don't like anything they care about. All they talk about is college spots, and I couldnt give a shit about college sports. I tried showing them rocket league at thanksgiving one year and they basically ignored me.

User Banned (Permanent): Inflammatory whataboutisms concerning race and colonialism, a severe history of similar dismissal

Theres the argument to be made about recent African politics. In post independence, African leaders used colonialism as a scapegoat to hide the fact they were pillahing their own countries. Kwame Nkruma being the first example. Now because of these early leadears usage of a victim narrative (despite that narrative being true) and the socialist wave across Africa, African governance is now strongman neo-patronage structures that work to keep Africa from developing. Given the full context of his remarks theres the possibility hes aligning with the very real movement against colonialism as a scapegoat and that the real issues lay in African corruption?

Of course, none of this is to downplay the effects of colonialism or neo-colonialism today. Just that within the African intellectual sphere (like George Ayyitay for example), they argue that blaming everything on that has lead to their current predicament of being pillaged by the mabenzies.

Still though, BP has every right to exist. What this guy ought to argue for is better representation of African politics. Though we also have Nigerian cinema for that.

[benjipwns]

It feels the racial Bechdel test , it wasn't framed around a white person nor did it have a white person critical to the plot. if BP had ended with Martin Freeman saving the negros from Gollum, it wouldn't a quarter of shit ti does.

I hate Home Alone 2 and think the DJT cameo is the least of its political problems. I am going to make this as short as possible because, as my beleaguered friends can attest, this is a rant I have gone on repeatedly recently. While this is one of my hottest of takes usually reserved only for private circles, I will finally present my thesis publicly. I will take not questions and make no follow up posts. Thank you.


Home Alone 2 is fucked up. It is a degenerate's holiday film.

Kevin McAllister is a rich, white, suburban American kid whose stupid family is obscenely wealthy. Not just his immediate family, but his extended family as well. Not only is the McAllister dynasty wealthy enough to support a Parisian vacation over the holidays with 11 horrible children, but the other McAllister terror cell they are visiting is rich enough to be kicking it back in Paris while their entire, multifloor Manhattan townhouse undergoes extensive renovations. This is a family whose wealth knows no measure or limit. The financial security Kevin enjoys as an upper class young boy cannot be overstated. Kevin McAllister is a boy with no concept whatsoever of want besides superficial desires like cheese pizza.

In Home Alone 2, Kevin finds himself lost in Manhattan with his father's credit card. For all intents and purposes, Kevin has unlimited money to do whatever he wants. So he does. He goes to The Plaza hotel, one of the most luxurious hotels in the city, and tricks the staff in to giving him a room. While we are meant to be impressed with Kevin's antics, this is only the beginning of a long series of humiliations he exerts over the service workers at this hotel as Kevin lords over them all with his generational wealth.

While Home Alone 1 has Kevin defending himself from would be home invaders in a life threatening situation, the service staff at The Plaza poses no such threat to him. They are not invading his space, he is invading theirs. Every single one of them are there because it's their job to be. They are doing their jobs - over the holidays no less - as Kevin manipulates them to fulfill his luxurious whims. We are meant to find it hilarious how he degrades and debases them. He doesn't tip them, he subjects them to repeated embarrassment, and ultimately makes them afraid for their lives as he simulates a mass shooting. We saw a glimpse of this in Home Alone 1 with the pizza delivery boy, but in Home Alone 2, Kevin's treatment of the wage staff at this hotel is inhumane. What we see here is that upper class Kevin exerting unearned dominance over the working class with extreme prejudice.

There is not a single hotel employee that has done anything to earn Kevin's abuse beyond do their jobs. Yet he makes them afraid they will be murdered if they dare step out of line. This is shameful.

However, where the movie is really beyond the pale is in regards to Kevin's relationship with "the pigeon lady." This homeless woman isn't even given the dignity of a name in this film. At first, Kevin perceives her with fear and disgust. He attempts to run from her but fumbles and becomes stuck. She helps him and Kevin, momentarily, shows a glimmer of humanity as he realizes it was wrong to be afraid of her. This moment of empathy is brief, however, as Kevin's selfishness and sociopathy does not allow for any actual understanding of anyone below his social class.

This woman explains that she wasn't always homeless. She once had a home and a man she loved very much, but it ended badly. This incident gave her PTSD and now she is distrustful of others and is unable to function in society. She calmly and bravely opens up to Kevin about her past trauma and her subsequent dehumanization in an uncaring society that forsakes the mentally ill. And do you know how Kevin responds? He says yeah, he gets it, because he's the youngest in his disgusting family. He then tells her to get over it and that only by opening herself up to love again will she ever not be a homeless lady covered in bird shit again. Straight up, to her vulnerable face, Kevin tells a homeless woman that she is responsible for her own prolonged destitution and that if she wants people to treat her better she needs to get over her mental illness. Kevin then goes home to his luxury hotel where he has every whim of his indulged by service workers he humiliates.

Seriously, he has unlimited money. He couldn't have gotten her a place to stay? Or invited her to stay with him? He couldn't share his unlimited food with her. He didn't even offer to let her take a shower. He descends from his nearly-llteral ivory tower, blames a shit covered mentally ill homeless woman who suffers nonstop dehumanization that she needs to get over her PTSD, and at the end of a movie he gives her a fucking bird ornament to show her how much he cares about her. How does he sleep at night in his king size bed at The Plaza hotel knowing that someone who opened up to him about her inescapable poverty and trauma is sleeping on the street in the cold? What is wrong with this monster?


Home Alone 2 is a perverse Christmas Carol. It is the story of a spoiled rich young boy whose time with the working class and the poor motivates him to torment or abandon them. Even his supposedly virtuous gesture of preventing the toy store robbery costs him nothing. It's not his money. It's not his donation. Kevin does nothing except take a tour of what it's like to be less fortunate than him and live it up in a Trump Hotel. The Wet Bandits were right to want to kill Kevin and I always hope they catch him.

It is a disgraceful film and I hate it with my life. It is perfect that Trump is in this movie. Perfect.

"life ain't easy" is basically victim blaming for those of us who live in a constant state of fear

It's much healthier to make believe/pretend that Santa is real. Playing that Santa is real, not actually upholding a lie.

sunddenly a little money gets thrown around in the area street lights sudden;y start working, streets get repaired, police patrol in ways not hassling to the residents,  landlords start doing repairs to properties, before you know it you have to flush 10 or 15 times no water comes out and the lightbulbs make you look orange and that to me is very important

Drunk driving is as harmless as driving after eating several pot brownies, calm the fuck down.
