All of culture has become homogenised. Capitalism doesn't want to deal with too much variety. Economies of scale. Impoverishing us in so many ways..

Die Hard has only become a Christmas movie (for some) recently. For spurious reasons..

Christmas movies should be about Christmas.
Which is why Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.

More accurately, Yusuf exploiting this situation to serve their 'betrayal' narrative. Without grievance they have no reason to exist.

There's no argument that Brexit diminished us financially. ZERO.
The only argument is over the amount.

Brexity needs betraying back. Spaffer and Forst betrayed all of us with their uber-hard deal.

Finally, someone talking sense. You can't talk to or listen to or deal with a lying mafia boss like Putin.

Israel using children to bypass the law and hassle Palestinian settlements.
And Jews wonder why they're viewed so negatively, fairly or unfairly. Their own people behave despicably. The world is watching.
The (banned) film No Other Land covered this too.
