It's so ironic, the idiots of today parroting all the antisemitic stuff that Hitler's Nazi party officers, propagandists, and supporters in 1930s/40s Germany said about Jews. They blamed Jews for everything, including the Great Depression, claiming that they controlled the world's banks and made the Great Depression happen on purpose. It's actually eerie, how similar the antisemitic remarks are then to now.
And yeah, a lot of Jews today look like white people if you don't look at them closely, similar to how some Greeks and Italians look "white," despite not descending from northern European stock.
The fact that anyone out there is stupid enough to support a murderous terrorist group whose majority worship an evil former pagan god just shows that P.T. Barnum was correct when he said, "There's a sucker born every minute."
That's interesting how you brought up fairy-tales. If growing up has taught me anything, real-life is rarely a fairy-tale, and I've even read fantasy stories that reflect part of that. I mean, not everyone learns their lesson or chooses to do so, the bad guys are not always readily apparent and are good at fooling you into believing what they're doing is the right thing, sometimes the hero dies at the end and the kingdom they built is destroyed, and sometimes the bad guys win.
I mean, one reason fairy tales were first invented was to not only entertain, but to teach a lesson. But real life has shown me that some people refuse to learn their lesson, and while they pay the price, they will never admit they were ever wrong, showing that they were a lost cause to start with. Small wonder real life is fertile for ideas on how villains behave, considering there are many evil people out there who get away with doing evil stuff while innocent people are forced to pay the price. It makes for interesting story-telling when someone gets cursed, and refuses to learn from it, while the protagonists learn the lesson by proxy after witnessing the mistakes of the cursed character who refuses to reform.
Do you know how white people in South Africa deal with the shit going on there? The ones with money have been forced to build Enclaves; small, walled-in, self-sustaining communities where everyone living there (who can afford it) are white. It's so different from how things are outside the Enclaves; crime rates are low, people actually are friends with their neighbors, and kids can walk to school without getting beat up, raped, or kidnapped.
If someone tried that here in the States, they would be labeled a racist unless they weren't white.
There's a reason shit like this happens at all. The problem with modern day govt. is, the only people drawn to politics are either delusional people with a Superman complex that want to "fix" the system (and they find out just how broken it is once they get inside), or people who lust for power. Often it's not a job that smart people want, because it's not rewarding in the least, and requires you to do a lot of things people better suited for the job simply don't want to have to deal with, such as making speeches, kissing asses, and getting people you don't like to help you pass laws that not everyone's gonna agree with.
I remember hearing about Hawaiians that want to secede from the Union because they don't think they should have to listen to a govt. whose headquarters are over 3,000 miles away. This became particularly noteworthy when Trump became president (yes, Hawaii is a blue state). It's interesting that the Secessionists are mostly just white, left-wing idiots (who didn't even <i>live</i> in Hawaii) that have their heads up in the clouds and apparently have an issue facing reality. I pointed out to them that if Hawaii left the union, not only would the islands starve in a week, but China would come in and take them over, and they would not enjoy China's rule over them compared to America's. They ignored me and kept pretending like leaving America would be paradise for them.
Yes. It's because of my mom's monstrous first husband that she hates the Muppets and Monty Python. Dad and I can't watch any of that with her because of him.
One reason I'm not a fan of a lot of horror flicks or MTV is partially because the idiots I want to school with were fans of that shit. Any time I heard them praising such things, I knew they weren't people I wanted to associate with, because it meant they were morons who had extremely poor taste in film and no respect for the films that I liked. That, and I don't like horror movies or trashy tv.
The white leftists are the main reason this kind of shit happens in the first place. Many who make those decisions are rich and live far away in mostly white, walled-in neighborhoods, and force all the white, middle-class and poor peasants to reap the "rewards" of forced neighborhood integration.
It's called White Flight, and it's been going on, probably since the 1970s. I've even been a personal witness to this cultural phenomenon while growing up in suburbia. The cycle goes like this:
- White neighborhood in a city slowly changes as nonwhites get enough money to move in, whether through hard work or welfare money. Quality of the neighborhood goes down when the nonwhites bring in the negative parts of their culture, including crime, gangs, teen pregnancy, child neglect, and home neglect. Crime rate goes up, and things slowly go to shit.
- Whites get sick of the BS, particularly after their homes and cars have been broken into, or their kids get beat up on the way to/from school, so they move away to a new suburb some miles away.
- Things are nice at least for a decade, it's quiet, homes and goods are affordable, and kids can go to school in peace.
- Meanwhile, in the city, things get so bad even the nonwhites don't want to stay, so they move out, or the city uses taxpayer money to move them out, right over to the new suburb. New housing projects and Section 8 house pops up all over the place in the suburb. The very same people who ruined the neighborhoods in the city bring in the very same crap to the suburb that ruined their lives in the city: gangs, drugs, crime, home neglect, kids being unsafe, etc.
- After just a few years, the quality of life in the suburb drops just as it did in the city, and pretty soon, the suburb starts to resemble the city the whites left behind a decade or two earlier, and the whites have to deal with the same shit they left behind all over again.
- The cycle starts all over again.
They never really said why, to be honest. Though it was nice that her request played in well with Uncle Owen making use of C3PO as a translator for machines. When I first heard her make that request through Luke, I actually assumed she wanted some kind of droid to help her around the kitchen, or the house.
If we speculate, I'm guessing the moisture machine in the courtyard of the homestead was where Beru got her water for making meals and cleaning the dishes, and chances are, some alien race that spoke and wrote "Bocchi" built the machine, and she can't read the labels, so it helps if she had a droid who could translate for her on how to operate it better.
Johnny Depp knows better than anyone not to court crazy. The problem is, people like her have a gift for fooling people for a time before they snag someone.
