this panel is funny, and the joker said it because it was funny and chaotic to do, and would not have acted this way in other contexts where his goals might align more strongly with nazis
also notice his objection isn't that nazis are evil, but that he's "american," the joke is patriotism and not trying to claim some moral high ground

Eh, is John Byrne, so the joke could also been “Nazis to Evil for Joker”.

Weirdo
Quote:Was a pretty big fan of the movie as a kid but when I grew up and heard the stories about the what some of the actors went through and what they dealt with during their careers I just couldn't bring myself to watch it anymore. Even if this specific movie didn't directly have anything to do with it (I don't know) just regardless after hearing the stories i just wasn't into watching it again.

Just saying because John Byrne is that weird.
HBO’s Harry Potter remake/reboot or whatever is going to be so massive. Hype never really went away for the franchise despite being complete for over a decade now. Gonna be the early 2000’s all over again.
Also, the first two full cast audio versions of the books on Audible have been fantastic so far, had forgotten a bunch of stuff from the early books so it’s largely been like experiencing them for the first time again.
And Era trying to pretend the popularity of the series isn’t about to explode again will be fascinating. Can’t hide from the 7+ year run HBO will be on adapting the whole series, no matter how much they’ll want to try to.

I went through my phase where I truly felt that I needed to be fully absorbed in the "fast news media" ecosystem in order to stay informed. What I quickly learned is that divesting from 24 hour "newstainment" media, limiting my social media absorption, and valuing the slow absorption of thoughtful and qualified experts didn't result in me being less informed.
It unveiled those forms of content for being the cesspools that they are.
And, yes, sometimes that includes Era.
Take your break, friend.
Is nice when a moderator openly thinks a site is a cesspool.
Anything to know what Royalan considers the, "slow absorption of thoughtful and qualified experts." Some loli voiced, Twitch Anime VTuber with giant tits that talks politics?

It’s a good joke but it’s unrealistic. The right is COMPLETELY fractured right now, visibly. The left is harder to get on the same page mostly because centrists who don’t believe in anything transformative enough to change. They are effectively normal conservatives in a normal government.

It isn't remotely a grift. This guy is Daniel Sloss, a comedian with left-wing views in the UK

Heck, there is something like 3(?)% of the population of Japan that's an immigrant and yet they are being blamed for everything that's wrong in Japan and then justifying the anti-immigration laws that will further kill the Japanese economy.
It's disappointing, but this will probably be a "F around and find out" situation for Japan very quick.
That "racist trolling" ban is absurd. And it's a perm!
That being followed by ACTUAL xenophobia which gets two weeks makes it even dumber! Straight to a PERM with no previous history? Interesting.
