    USA Politics

    I'll be honest, I think you're all falling in Trump's trap. He doesn't want you to talk about how US citizens are being sent to concentration camps, people who are legally in the US are being persecuted by the state or how economic stability in the western world is being obliterated, so he posts...

    USA Politics

    By and large, yes. I think what all of us (including myself) need to be more aware of the fact that "left" and "right" take different meanings almost everywhere. In former socialist countries, for example, anything that is moderate democratic is considered "right", whereas the term "left" is...

    USA Politics

    No worries, I just wanted to make sure there's no misunderstanding here. In Germany, liberalism is arguably the most right-wing ideology in the moderate democratic spectrum. And to make things more confusing, it is most adjacent to conservatism.

    I'd need to talk to your German expat friends to be able to tell you how representative of the German mindset they are. I also assume you mean "liberal" in the American sense (as in, they would vote Democrat), because in Germany, the attitude of liberals is more leaning towards the right, as in...

    USA Politics

    I keep hearing from non-German friends that Germans should "get over it" and get rid of their collective guilt mindset. I don't even know what to tell them, because this sort of thing doesn't exist here. What does exist is an ever decreasing effort to maintain awareness of what happened in this...

    Didn't you notice the sudden upturn in peace and economic stability in the last 100 days?

    The other day I walk into my colleague's office and while we're engaged in conversation I notice someone quite visibly drew a penis and a vagina on a whiteboard otherwise filled with transliterations from an ancient language there. I point it out to my colleague, and the conversation went...

    Is the popularity of Wasting Love fabricated?

    I've always assumed it's on some popular power ballad playlists. It certainly never ranked anywhere near as high before Spotify existed.

    NOW WATCHING

    That battle sequence is about the only really graphic part in the film. Don't get me wrong, it's certainly contributed to the nightmares, and I'm sure the hands on the barbed wire will stick with me forever, but it's really the entirety of the film and the way it depicts what the war does to the...

    NOW WATCHING

    Funny, I actually just watched it last weekend. Doesn't feel like a terribly good film overall, but it's certainly a masterpiece compared to the later 1960s Toho schlock. And it certainly is an interesting dive into post-warJapanese psyche.

    NOW WATCHING

    I watched the 1930 adaptation of All Quiet on the Western Front last night. I read the book some 20 years ago, but I hadn't seen any of the films based on it. It's been a long time since a film gave me nightmares. The truly unsettling thing about it is that it was made to a large degree by...

    NOW READING

    It gets worse. I once picked up this book at an airport while looking for something braindead to read: I never actually heard of Clive Cussler before, but apparently he had this series attached to his name that his son is now just continuing so they can keep a dead guy's name alive as a...
