I’m failing to understand why it’s “cringe”.

Having undergone any sort of training is useful, especially, I’d imagine, if you’re a celebrity. Jason Momoa knowing some Jiu Jitsu, whether he’s sparring or not, gives himself another layer of security, if he’s paid attention and attends class diligently.

Knowledge in basic boxing fundamentals, distance management, and wrestling and grappling techniques are very useful in altercations. Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is just one branch of grappling.

None of that is “cringe”.

Have you ever had to defend yourself in a hand-to-hand fight? Training is important and can potentially save your life.

That’s not a “cringe” thing to say either, it’s a fact.

You’re stuck in 1989 and I’m not. We’ll just agree on that.

No, we won’t. What the fuck are you talking about? I’m talking about training, and that it’s good for people. What does that have to do with the 80’s?

You sound angry, unstable, and haven’t gotten over what happened to you in the 80’s.

I don’t think the commenter was “worshipping” martial arts.

I’m an American who’s been lucky enough to travel to many other countries, and I’m currently living in the EU.

Blanket statements on praise-worthiness are stupid; one should only praise things, people, and nations when and where they deserve it. There’s a lot to admire and there’s a lot to be disgusted at when considering just about every country and government.

What I find in EU culture socially is that people are far more exclusionary, prone to isolationism, and prejudicial about my and my countrymen’s competence and intelligence than what I was told to expect. I expected some “haha, dumb American” memes, but I didn’t expect people here to honestly believe everyone thinks and acts like our worst people back in the US. It was very eye-opening in a negative way.

EU citizens need to stop treating outsiders as 1-dimensional caricatures, but regrettably, that’s been one of humanity’s greatest faults, and I doubt it will be rectified anytime soon. I try not to get too butt-hurt about it, as we say, but it is irksome after encountering that attitude in conversation after conversation.

Why?

It’s just a contraction that represents “you all”.

As in, “Ever since I moved to Europe, it seems [y’all/you all] seem to hate Americans to try to look cool in front of your friends.”

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree.

The thing is, they’re supposed to be that way. The comics were like that too.

I agree that it’s bad that a lot of writers and directors want their film to be “Deadpool-esque”.

I hate this 2-party system, and I loathe the DNC and the neo-liberal elite. That said, the Republicans haven’t fielded a palatable candidate in my entire lifetime.

Thus, like many Americans I’m forced to politically pinch my nose and vote for the geriatric, corporate-and-billionaire funded elite of the American “left” because the alternative after the dust settles after the primaries is unthinkable.

The American citizenry is fucked, and I fear the only way out from under the boot-heel of the billionaire class is armed bloody revolution, of which I’m terrified of due to what typically comes next, historically.

Orwell and Huxley were supposed to be warnings, not manuals for sociopathic murderous political cults. Then again, maybe things will turn out like Zardoz.

Capitalism (strictly defined as the private ownership of the means of production) can’t exist without the premise of private property being protected by laws that are collectively agreed upon, enforced, and adjudicated by peers within your community.

If one defines anarchism strictly as a type of government without a hierarchy, then anarcho-capitalism can exist with laws and government by one’s peers, who are societally and politically equal, save for temporary powers granted to them to legislate, enforce, and adjudicate the laws that are collectively agreed upon regarding private property and its ownership, protection, and distribution.

What a lot of these anarcho-capitalist chucklefucks actually advocate for is the corporate-might-makes-right-piracy under the guise of “rUgGeD iNdIvIdUaLiSm”.

They’re authoritarians who want the freedom to fuck anyone over with impunity “without the commies in government getting in the way”.

Libertarianism as an idea can’t exist without gasp collective societal debates and agreements about government, individual freedom, and limitations of enforcement and adjudication… You know, like in a democratically-elected representative federal republic. Kind of like the United States.

Oh, I love this game!

Hahaha, dumb Americans are so dumb, they don’t have any cultural differences among each other! Hahaha, eat hamburgers and speak one language, fat stupid Americans!

Am I doing it right?

Define “liberal” or “conservative”. Then ask yourself if those are the only two valid political categories that represent one’s political philosophy. Then ask yourself if age has any relationship with how one defines any of the terms I mentioned.

Maybe eventually through this sort of reflection you’ll realize that there is zero truth in the supposed maxim you bandy about. Then again, if you honestly think there’s any truth in that tired old turn of phrase, I doubt reflecting is one of your strengths.
