TFA it was called for. Literally the day it was announced, my first thought was female protagonist Jedi. It's a very easy and natural way to switch it up since we hadn't seen it before. I think just about every film maker on the planet would have done it.

But Rogue One clearly had a very forced diversity quota. The only white guy was a Nazi. That was bullshite.

Is the alt right
I think you'd find in original context, "alt right" is libertarianism, as was the tea party in its origin.

It is the left that has given the alt-right traction, since people can no longer actually say what's on their mind without a liberal twat jumping down their throats for saying otherwise.
That is 100% the truth.

The alt-right is a response to the leftist authoritarian mindset.

The only people that are to blame are the leftists.

oh yeah Rey was pretty great

but following it up? that's almost as bad as using an orphan again

or having another death star, which now appears in 4/5 non-prequel SW films

100%

it all started with Gagergate and taking on the feminists

then when they realized they could "win", it grew to fight PC/SJW culture at large

and yes, that does include race politics

well, to be fair, this is how it started

then the actual racists (who don't have much in terms of #s) jumped on board claiming it like it was their own movement, b/c frick, what do they have to lose at that point? they gonna get accused of political plagarism?

Let me know when "alt right" becomes the 3rd largest political party with automatic ballot access in 30 states.

Well, it isn't a political party, nor is it striving to be.

It is a mindset and a movement away from the political/opinion suppression/PC mindset that leftists have pushed for years that has become more and more racist towards whites in its intent.

Like I said, leftists are to blame for its existence.

Good point. Especially since we had seen everything else in that movie before.

Wrong wrong wrong.

There has always been a shadow movement within libertarianism that pointed out capitalism/markets/freedom are western in origin and essence, and that it should be defended.


The fact of the matter is this: many libertarians are correct when they say that deporting all brown people will make it easier to pass "libertarian" legislation because whites are much more likely to believe in things like low taxes, no welfare, etc.

It's a horrible thing to think and do, but it's the truth.

He did pick a massively un-libertarian VP candidate and appeared to be supportive of HRC.

I did not mind him criticizing Trump, but no one who is libertarian should have anything positive to say about HRC. Ever.
