Agree or Disagree III

[Independent Cossack Ukraine]

100% Agreed. Those who hurt children are lower than dirt and have a special spot in hell reserved for them.

Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh are actually quite Far Right if you look into their private comments (particularly Shapiro's views on Arabs in Israel and Walsh's comments about morality). Their new organization (Daily Wire) might be generic conservative news, but these two have a side they aren't showing.

(Yes, I have seen their news shows in the past. Yes, I stopped because of what I learned about them. Yes, I am Jewish myself. No, I am neither conservative nor liberal because I don't just vote party lines.)

[Red Lake Circle]

Agree, but only because execution is more expensive and less reversible in the case that a guilty verdict turns out to be wrong.

NINJA’d: Agree. Though they’re certainly not the farthest-right media figures (Tucker Carlson and Sean Hannity come to mind), they’re still much more extreme than a lot of people seem to think they are.

---

Aliens did not intervene in humanity’s past. The whole “ancient astronaut theory” thing is just… incredibly dumb.

[Karazicu]

Yeah, agreed, who actually believes in that crap?

---

If it weren't for American antics Chile would have never had to deal with Pinochet.

[Languedoc and the Riviera]

Agreed, this also could apply to most Latin American countries



Spain would be a much more relevant country in modern time if they hadn’t suffered from the Price Revolution in the 17th century

[Rivogna]

Agreed, the Price Revolution made the Spanish monarchy nearly collapse due to inflation and bankruptcy. It is common sense that a healthy economy makes your country more relevant. So, the Spanish would have a more prominent role in world affairs if it did not happen.

Religion can coexist with science. It can potentially lead to technological advancements because it is one of the primary motivators to discover new things. For example, the Maya people gained knowledge in astronomy because they desired guidance from the heavens.

[Port Caverton]

no.

---

Noam Chomsky should have been aborted.

[Hispida]

holy based

---

religion and science should be intertwined. they're not mutually exclusive; if science discredits religion, then religion should change their beliefs to suit the new material, not the other way around. evolution and christianity are as compatible as global warming and islam.

[The Aquaria]

Disagreed. Science makes us see how foolish the whole idea of a religion is, making them generally impossible to suit with it. Choose Science or Religion.

---

Pol Pot is a CIA puppet who tried to make communism's reputation very low.

[Meadowfields]

Pol Pot is a CIA puppet who tried to make communism's reputation very low.

Personally leaning towards "agree" on this one, the CIA did support him because he fought Vietnam and he pursued a rather unethical and undesirable way of achieving socialism, through agrarian society. He was also a genocidal maniac who killed millions, so obviously not someone to worship. You don't really have too much of a source on this one, though, and it seems a bit far-fetched, so disagree.

---

Socialism and democracy are mutually exclusive and China and North Korea are by no means communist or socialist; China has even admitted that they would never return to a state-planned economy while North Korea is just fascist.

[Continental Free States]

Nah, he was as genuine in his communism as they come, or else we might as well call Ho Chi Minh a CIA puppet too. Besides, it's not like Pot needed to do anything to 'make communism's reputation very low' lmao.

Fallout should let me play as a ghoul goddammit.

[Hamidiye]

It does, FO4 at least... you just need to mod the shit out of it.

Military music is the worlds most underrated musical genre. It has great variety, every country has its own style and influences. A march from let's say Spain will sound fundamentally different than one from any other country, and thanks to colonisation and other cultural influences we get all sort of interresting crossovers when things merge.

[Itielia]

If you refer to marching music, then I totally agree. It is a big shame that only Radetzky Marsch gets attention, as there are a lot of pieces great in their own way. Japanese Imperial Army Review March (a.k.a 'Battotai'), Finland March (or St. Petersburg March), and Gunkan March are beautiful and deserve to be included into classical repertoire.

---

Many people unjustly dismiss any propaganda piece, without considering their artistic value. After all, Virgil, Eisenstein, even Griffith contributed more to art than any French director will ever hope to achieve, even though their famous creations are pure propaganda.

[Independent Cossack Ukraine]

Agreed. The original Norakuro was Imperial Japanese propaganda but evolved into an iconic Japanese character and gave rise to modern anime in general. There are iconic American WWII propaganda cartoons with Bugs Bunny and Popeye too.

Potatoes are delicious and a very versatile food that can become a myriad of tasty dishes.

[Meadowfields]

Yes! They're my favorite food too tbh.

Today's music isn't as bad as some people say, however it isn't as good as some people say either.

Agree.

Disney is overrated

[Hamidiye]

Well, I hardly ever encounterred anyone outside the Internbet that actually liked that crap...but there's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q12wrtV5KNI

modern movies are mostly crap. Especially the whole remake/superhero fad. I hope that trend disappears anytime soon.

[Desperado Enforcement LLC]

We might not agree on many things, but you're absolutely right about that.

---

Death Stranding was a masterpiece.

[Telorum]

I'd absolutely agree if it wasn't for a certain Princess Peach pun. Well, at least the story was creative, mechanics were unique and you can even perv out at Norman Reedus and he'll react to it.

Men should wear chokers more, they make you look hotter regardless of gender.

[Hispida]

kinda wanna wear a choker tbh. not because i want it to make me look hot or anything but because i know i'd rock it

---

if you crush noodles while making instant ramen you deserve the death penalty.

[Juansonia]

Disagree - I am opposed to the death penalty, and eating crushed ramen is punishment enough

---

Metal Gear Rising: Revengance has a great soundtrack

[Independent Cossack Ukraine]

Agreed. That is epic music.

Too many American adults nowadays get fixated on childish obsessions like Disney or Pokemon.

[A m e n r i a]

Disagree. They're harmless hobbies imo.

Tickling kittens is fun. Especially when they start licking your hand.

[Itielia]

Never had a chance to do it, because my cat will bite even for wrong look.

There is no Roman Empire-like American decline, the World simply transforms into a multi-polar system, and the American leadership is simply plagued by idiots in power and political dogmatism from both Democrats and Republicans.

Yep, the Democrats and Republicans are both corrupt; I wish we had a multi-party system where politics wasn't dominated by two corrupt political parties. There is no major left-wing party in America yet, the Democrats are more centrist/center-right than leftist while the Republicans are far-right.

---

Mars is a terrible place to colonize right now, as it's almost uninhabitable and terraforming will at least take a while.

[Hispida]

nah, we should colonize mars sooner rather than later.

strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government!
