I also watch em all yearly.
Yeah the way books are broken up into Frodo&Sam vs the Rest is a challenge
Thinking about starting my yearly read early
Normally I do it in the fall
Definitely try the chronological read if thAt sounds like something you’d be interested in
I never read the books, my mom told me the timelines are crazy long though, like when they're climbing Mordor, its multiple years in the book
I could be wrong about what she said, its been a while
It’s much longer in the books. The time between Frodo getting the ring and actually leaving the shire is like 17 years yeah
I like using this site for quick reference
Apparently American history from reconstruction to the modern day is now “climate change and white supremacy 102”
@Kingfish online course options available for non-credit? 🤔
So I have a professor that's an Indian lady right, but she's all about American folk lore and anti communist
Pretty cool haha I dig it
Dot or feather?
the anti-communist stuff seems like kind of a distraction
no one is seriously advocating for communism in the US
I mean, no one relevant
Dot. Eh I don't know I appreciate it. I also figure that I have to calibrate to be in a college setting. They can't handle my scorching hot takes
idk if this has been posted before, but it seems to be a physical depiction of the overton window shifting
Is the "voters" segment based on how they voted?
@Current Ronin isn't that kind of a low effort thing to oppose, though? It's like being "anti-fascist"
to be completely honest, if I had to choose between white communism and multicultural capitalism I'll take white communism easily
it's not really a relevant threat to us right now especially compared to other things
I'm just amazed that she's not pushing full globohomo super communism
And there's a pro America stance even though it's the multi culti version. It's a college and college is totally pozzed so I'll take the anti communist rhetoric as a positive haha
every now and then you get the odd hyper-assimilated immigrant like that
@Alex Kolchak - NY that's totally it
I knew an Southeast Asian girl in College Republicans who was very pro-Trump and civnat
obviously the exception that proves the rule, but it’s entertaining
Yeah I'm not gonna go "wow based prof in a maga hat!!" But i still appreciate it
she got called a white supremacist a few times... 😂
/our asian/ haha
putting the “European” in “Indo-European” lol
any professor that's right of marx is a white supreeemist
idk I think being anti-Communist in America is kinda like being against stepping on puppies
the average American still has a visceral negative reaction to the idea of Communism so it's a pretty easy position to take
@Alex Kolchak - NY she must have been a til tequila fan
oof
