From the OSS (CIA) 1943 psychological profile of Hitler: His primary rules were to never allow the public to cool off; never admit a fault or wrong; never concede that there may be some good in your enemy; never leave room for alternatives; never accept blame; concentrate on one enemy at a time and blame him for everything that goes wrong; people will believe a big lie sooner than a little one; and if you repeat it frequently enough people will sooner or later believe it.
A week ago I saw this post and far too many people were replying saying that they don't see a problem with allowing religion in the military. I replied saying the crusades never ended. This film provides tip of the iceberg insight in to how scarily accurate that actually is.
As a Christian, I am certain that faith should never be mixed with state or mitary. As a matter of fact, in the new testament, Jesus made sure to say “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
Any “Christian” that says otherwise, is NOT a a Christian.
I watched this the other day and it’s pretty good. But I’m not sure what the point of having Fred Armisen dub the show clips was. All the interviews are in Japanese with subtitles, as they should be. Why didn’t they just subtitle the show? Baffling.
But they already have to read the subtitles for the interviews which are the bulk of the documentary, so people who don’t like subtitles are going to be turned off anyway. It’s a bizarre decision.
For me the historicity of a colorized scene is similar to a reenactment. I hate when they mix original and colorized footage, or if they don’t give a proper notice on a colorized section in a docu, or colorized images in an historical article. It looks like the truth, but it’s not the truth, and we cannot be sure how it actually looked like. And if we cannot be sure, than there is a possibility that it’s fake.
I know a lot of people don’t share my view, and it’s alright, I’m just an old man who yells at cloud…
During airline deregulation in the late 1970s and early 1980s, labor disputes and high debt loads strained the company under the leadership of former astronaut Frank Borman. Frank Lorenzo acquired Eastern in 1985 and moved many of its assets to his other airlines, including Continental Airlines and Texas Air Corporation. After continued labor disputes and a crippling strike in 1989, Eastern ran out of money and was liquidated in 1991.
That doesn’t mention how the deregulation basically caused a race to the bottom with airfares, which is what caused Eastern to try and cut wages, which is what induced the strikes. They would’ve gone bankrupt much sooner, but worker productivity skyrocketed when they had partial ownership despite agreeing to taking a cut in wages.
Ultimately management didn’t want to give further ownership of the company to the workers (which is what they were striking for), and Frank Borman straight up admits in the film that other airline executives were already shaming him for having given the workers any ownership, essentially saying that the workers should always be kept in their place with a crazily candid eliteness.
I still haven’t watched it, but it’s def on my list. I found it from one of the house music videos on YT which used it as the background video and the scenes were absolutely stunning!
