waow

Sounds good.

LMAO

I really like them, tbh.

I certainly agree with that, regarding primary and secondary contradictions. Perhaps you’re right.

Noted!

I am guessing that the 1979 series is either canon but not shown in the movies (that is, all the scenes that were not shown are “true”) or it’s possibly canon (in that they take ideas from the defunct 1979 series, same way George Lucas took ideas from the Expanded Universe / Legends novels, comics, video games, etc. for Star Wars: The Clone Wars CGI series).

Which one, I wonder?

Oho, gotcha.

Guess I will watch the video.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

(Very interested in Vietnam’s economy and recent history and how it differs from China.)

I… get that.

My issue is that ideas or positions that are contradictory to each other are accepted and not really rebuffed; it would be nice, frankly, if they argued or discussed their disagreements more often and frankly and openly.

Instead, we leave the hard questions for later or… never.

Ah, so the 1979 series is, I guess, a bit useless.

Yeah, they’re usually really good.

I agree to a point. Honestly though, I would rather not give them too much attention and traction. I just worry: what happens if their more reactionary ideas come into vogue through looking the other way every time they say one thing that’s correct every now and then? Well, maybe it’s not that bad, I suppose.

But I really wish leftists would stop platforming people and act like they have NO problems with the character or content of the other person, even when they are problematic. I mean, the Irish Maoist influencer Paul Morrin (the person behind Marxism Today) did this constantly and then other leftist content creators do the same thing with him (like Hakim and Second Thought).

Putting on a smiling face with somebody that hates AES countries or stans Indigenous genocider Gonzalo isn’t having a discussion and exchanging ideas; its acting.

Well, that’s where I am coming from anyway, but I don’t mind the above, I think; just have a few reservations, is all.

Good point, I suppose. It’s the main guy of The Grayzone that I don’t like.

Nice.

Also, I noticed that there are themes of gender, masculinity, and demogoguery (the Sieg Zeon scene being a good example at the end).

Interesting series so far…

Will watch the second movie soon.

…sadge…

¿El que?

Yay.

I really don’t think we should promote The Grayzone here, tbh.
