Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

"After an article reported that Rachel Zegler “trashed” the production of Disney's Snow White due to her stance on Palestine, thousands online are applauding her vocal stance this week despite the pressures of working with Disney and former Israeli army soldier Gal Gadot."

Is she in the US? Has anyone checked on her recently?

[–] [email protected] 208 points 5 days ago (3 children)

Good for her.

…still not watching the movie, but good for her!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 days ago (3 children)

At the very least, fight against the shitty misinformation and slander campaign against her.

You shouldn't, live* action re-creations are so lazy

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago (3 children)

I guiltily admit i do watch them as background noise years after they’ve been released to make sure they suck. They typically do, though I’ve heard The Jungle Book live remake wasn’t bad.

IMO The Little Mermaid live action remake was pretty good. They made the love interest make more sense, not just the guy going "pretty girl is pretty" and also I liked that

spoilerit was her who killed the sea witch at the end and not the guy.
IMO that made for a more well rounded ending.

As for the others, I've se Beauty and The Beast and wasn't impressed but have watched none of the others because all of them live in an uncanny valley I don't want to visit.

Believe it or not, Lady and the Tramp was a surprisingly good live-action-ish remake. Maybe my expectations were low as it wasn't released in theaters, but I enjoyed it more than the bigger budgeted ones.

Agreed. Loved it so much I saw it twice.

But to be fair—it was a prequel—not a remake.

My students said it was awful. They actually like the actress in that role, btw, but just... Everything else is awful.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago

It's a live-action Disney remake. They're all shit.

I feel like Walt would approve hating on Israel.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

It’s hard to say…there’s this thing where a ton of people hate Jews but love Israel

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago (5 children)

Saying "free Palestine" does not equal "down with Israel and the Jews". Wanting freedom from oppression for one group is not an endorsement of violence or oppression against another.

Either way he would still be an anti-union jackass so I don't really care what he would think

[–] [email protected] 50 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I’ve heard it said that Walt was an antisemite, so I looked it up to confirm. According to an article in jewishpress.com the evidence that Walt was really an antisemite is weak but the MPA of the time had more things of concern.. That same article goes on to equate anti-Israel with antisemitism so I doubt they’d give Walt any benefit of a doubt.

I’m not on Twitter, but I hear getting exposure to actual vile antisemitism happens quite fast.

I cannot wait for us to be past this “any criticism of Israel is antisemitism” and the US funding a genocide phase.

Why?

You realize taking all the Jewish people out of Europe and putting them somewhere like the Middle East was one of the Nazis original plans...

Right?

If you didn't know that, you'd probably be constantly confused with why all types of Nazis are supporting Israel in 2025

[–] [email protected] 33 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The twit was ‘and always remember, free palestine.’

Do you consider that to be hating on Israel?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

I don’t view it that way, but Walt Disney definitely would.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Is hating on the Holocaust hating on the Nazis?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

As melon-scratchers go, that's a honeydoodle!
