Yeah… I stopped having a favorite “actor-who-played-a-personification-of-rapacious-British-imperialsm” when I realized that they were acting as a personification of rapacious British imperialism.
There’s a lot more to go into beyond the most recent and obvious, but it involves his deliberate targeting of the black community with misinformation and a discussion of historical usage of Great Replacement theories, historical dogwhistling, and other kinds of nuance that someone asking honest questions might be interested in.
" I have never, ever suggested that the COVID-19 virus was targeted to spare Jews. I accurately pointed out — during an off-the-record conversation — that the U.S. and other governments are developing ethnically targeted bioweapons and that a 2021 study of the COVID-19 virus shows that COVID-19 appears to disproportionately affect certain races since the furin cleave docking site is most compatible with Blacks and Caucasians and least compatible with ethnic Chinese, Finns, and Ashkenazi Jews"
Yeah. In the original clip he only mentions Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese (nothing about Finns). He was shoehorning a conspiracy theory into conveniently chosen facts.
My personal completely unprovable theory is that when the Qanon crowd was getting excited about JFK Jr returning as a zombie to lead them to the promised land it got started from a discussion about RFK Jr and somebody made a typo that the rest of the clown show latched on to.
Or maybe they just didn’t know the difference. Being clowns.
I actually completely agree with your perspective and also have no idea what you’re talking about. Is Pierce Brosnan the historical figure in this scenario?
Will always remember when I was playing multiplayer GoldenEye in college and one of the guys said this as he was killing Bond (complete with accent)! RIP Robin.
Yeah it’s a bit of a weird one, her star was rising pretty quickly at the time that came out - all over the Scottish media, seemed destined for bigger and better things… and then there wasn’t any new material and she seems to be enjoying herself on TikTok now.
Good on her - would have liked to have seen more tracks off her though.
That is so much of what drives people’s opinions I think. My favourite bands are still the ones that I found when I was in highschool and college. Some of them were current and otherwise.
If I had to pick a favourite bond actor it would be Brosnan because he was bond when I was kid.
I have to remind myself of this when something gets remade. It doesn’t mean the first one was good, that was just what my nostalgia reminds me of.
Not saying nuance doesn’t exist, but for things that people don’t really think about, nostalgia is powerful.
Fair that was apparently fleming’s choice. I’ve always been partial to a spot of Tim dalton tbh. I always felt roger Moore was the saint first and bond second somehow but yeah good choice good choice
connery is more charming, moore is more earnest and craig got to star after they stopped writing scripts where the female leads had names like Hellacious Vag
Fun fact! They only changed that because of Austin Powers. In fact Austin Powers almost killed the James Bond movie franchise entirely because the satire was so on point.
