I mean I disagree with all of them personally, but I can only speak for myself. I'm not representing anyone else. I could give examples I guess, but somehow I don't think they would do anything to sway you. When I lived in California I was considered conservative, now in Texas I'm a commy lib, and yet my personal politics are the same. Funny how that works

Ok, good, thank you.

So, what are your thoughts on "The Sound of Freedom" movie?

Second, what are your thoughts on Jason Aldean's song "Try That in a Small Town"?

These have been huge controversies over the past few weeks, I'm sure you've heard about it. Yes?

What are your thoughts?

"Sound of Freedom" I will admit I hadn't been following the debate on this one and most of the info about the movie I have received from this thread lol. I will say that I mentioned earlier that someone I thought was doing good work and had donated money to has recently been caught with a bunch of child porn, which sucks but I'm not going to defend him. He can rot in hell. And so can anyone else that preys on children.

As for Jason Aldean, that was some pretty genius marketing tbh. He knew his video would be controversial, that democrats would get enraged and republicans would respond by rallying in support. And since conservatives make up the vast majority of country music fans, the guy is going to sell out every venue he plays and will be set for life. Pretty clever on his part.

No I think the raping is a worse sin than the hypocrisy. I don't really rank-order child abuse like that. Teachers do it way more and nobody generalizes about teachers being pedos the way they do with catholic priests, because it's really just about attacking the religion more than caring about the crime.
Hey hey, not picking on religion as is. Just the stance they take on we protect children and give direction to all and god is good etc. Then, just for larks we also, some of us like to USE OUR POSITION to attack the young and weak.
Many/some of these kids go to churches and places of worship cuz dey in a difficult position and need the help. Using that implied goodness to groom kids is objectively worse than random kid fucker doing it.
OK, for the stupid. All kiddy fiddlers are LeBad, but the spiderweb of the pedo priest is like a headstart for them. Again, many religious peeps mostly are LeGood. But ill be fucked if i would take the chance and allow them access to either of my kids.

I don't think that.
The ones that fuck children certainly do. Dimwit.

That's fair, thank you for the replies.

Some Liberals have tried to silence or censor that movie and they're calling Jason Aldean racist while trying to 'cancel' him. I'm glad you disagree.

Any other Liberals here agree with druidbob?

I'll probably watch Sound of Freedom eventually, I'm capable of enjoying right wing schlock as much as anyone. If you want actual good right wing cinema just watch S. Craig Zahler movies instead

Reactionary violence fantasies are fine and a reliable way of making exciting film, but Americans are pretty dumb and violent so it leads to more idiots killing strangers over imagined abductions. Right wing media is chock full of influencers encouraging this form of violence. Add in the racism and fear of the other so prevalent on the right and you get even more violence, as the billionaires who control them intend

I'm unclear of what you mean in the bolded. Can you please clarify and give examples? Also, what do you mean by "Sound of Freedom is right wing schlock?

Imagine thinking a movie that exposes child sex trafficking is 'right wing schlock'

"left wing schlock" would probably be a movie glorifying the sex traffickers

Just smh at the idiotic takes on this movie

Well I haven't seen it yet, but it's definitely right wing schlock. Agent man has to immerse himself in pedo rings to take down the pedos? That's some teenager fantasy shit, the tacticool crowd will eat it up.

Right wing media is full of influencers encouraging violence, Ben Shapiro and Matt Walsh are two famous examples and TikTok and Twitter and jammed with less famous ones

When you saw the movie, was a human female with you? How's the dating life, alpha male?
