Ok but beyond the existence of “propaganda”, what are you fighting for in this case by towing this line? What message is the “propaganda” trying to convey that you disagree with?

The neighbors fact is historically relevant, Jews have been living on that land for thousands of years https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewish_diaspora

Terrorism is violence towards people, riots are violence towards property, that’s a hell of a leap to try to equivocate the two

Gold was apolitical money for a long time. Can’t just print gold.

Poor auditing? Mate, they only audit for you doing what you say you’re doing. And if you say you play peek-a-boo, and the auditors watch you play peek-a-boo, you’re golden. ISO auditors aren’t experts at whatever it is you’re manufacturing and measuring, they are only experts on ISO standards. ISO trusts that you as the manufacturer are the expert in what you’re making.

ISO9000 is a joke. They don’t care what you do, they only care that you do what you said you’re doing. So if your inspection process is “we play peek-a-boo with the widget and if it’s still on the table when we open our eyes, it’s good to ship”. ISO only cares that you have a peek-a-boo procedure and your inspectors are trained on how to play peek-a-boo.

Sure…and if you were the 18 wheeler, you would give the proper stopping distance to the car in front of you, but it would be up to the person behind you to make sure they give you the same birth from behind. If they are on your (the 18 wheelers) ass, they would be causing traffic.

This isn’t meant to be a license to speed up it someone is riding your ass, it’s a rule that if EVERYONE followed, it would dramatically cut traffic jams.

By definition, if you got rid of cars, you wouldn’t have traffic. Traffic is made from cars.

We keep saying “half of the nation” but he’s never won a popular vote. It’s a cognitive distortion

Credit scores are in part based on the oldest line of available credit, which for most people are their student loans. Pay those off, your oldest line of credit becomes something more recent, and your score goes down as a result

If everyone followed the one rule “keep as much space in front of me to the next car, as there is behind me to the next car, at all times” it would do the most to alleviate most traffic jams.

I find your criticism of the parts of the movie you don’t like to be super weak and unspecific. The crux of the entire movie is the juxtaposition between what’s it’s like in Barbie ruled barbie world vs ken ruled barbie world. It’s literally the lens though which the movie criticizes patriarchy.

Ken bringing patriarchy back to barbie world I don’t think was a twist, it was the clear narrative arc from the moment ken fell in love with patriarchy.

Matell being villains is a clear misreading of the plot from your point of view. Matell is the butt of the joke the entirety of the film. They don’t drive the plot, and were never in control of anything that happens. Why would you expect them to become the villains? That’s your own internal biases leaking (and maybe putting too much of Mugatu onto will Farrell)

Lastly, in much the same way that the opening of barbie is an homage to 2001 a space Odyssey, (that scene they are parodying specifically in the original movie is about the death of old paradigms and the beginning of new ones), the beach battle is an homage to patriarchally driven war media, specifically D-Day scenes such as from saving private Ryan. It’s the death of patriarchy subverted through a traditionally patriarchal approach.
