Saw it tonight and really enjoyed it. It owes a lot to Ghost in the Shell, but it’s been 30 years so it’s no issue for me. It’s a tight cyberpunk noir buddy conspiracy flick. Recommended.

I guess this clears up which came first: the chicken or the egg.

In Alabama there are only chickens.

I don’t disagree, but:

• People are weak when it comes to comfort food
• Having this would create dialog about the problem at hand
• Propping up a successful charity like this might cause corporate to question its policy, whereas a boycott results in hard to measure fiscal impact.

I’ve had this idea kicking around in my head for a few years: Christian Chicken Offset Charity. It would be an app that would notify you “You appear to be patronizng a bigoted establishment, do you wish to make a $1 donation to Charity X to offset?”

Could work for Hobby Lobby, In ‘n Out, etc, too.

I thought 8:46 was brilliant but it’s not what we are talking about in this post.

That’s an amazing skill to separate the comedy from the opinion, or do you agree with his opinions, too?

Nobody, practically, asks to “adopt their thinking”. It’s implicit by taking a public pulpit like this. One doesn’t get on stage unless they want to be heard. He isn’t a victim of his own success. Humor is a completely viable path to social and political commentary.

You don’t have to ask because people by and large don’t choose their beliefs. They are mostly indoctrinated into them via rationalization of inherent biases and other environmental factors. How many Muslims are born into FLDS households in Utah?

Overt bigotry and marginalization gives cover to viewers’ rationalization that it’s okay to have thoughts of discrimination against outgroups.

Great!

Now bring the ID.3 GTX to the states, please!

They posted a counterpoint, too
