Prometheus

Every man who gets away stays alive to rebuild later. Every man who gets caught extends the war and dies for nothing.

In one of Tolkien’s letters, he specifically says that if Gollum had been redeemed as much as he could, he would have taken the ring and jumped into Mt. Doom voluntarily.

He can still win, but only if everyone spells “Robinette” right

My “Doesn’t Have a Problem with Women” T-shirt has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my shirt.

You should be trying to leave (the breakfast is ok tho)

It responded to the question about Harris, but it didn’t really give an answer.

Transphobes not beating the “weird” allegations

They died like human beings, doing something for themselves, instead of dying like pigs for someone else’s money.

He could have done that by following Frankenstein and scaring people away instead of killing

Racism is fluid, and in times like this, US and UK media likes to try and spin Russians as asiatic barbarians. They invoke tropes associated with the Mongol empire and call Russians “orcs”. This goes back as early as the nineteenth century when the British and Russian empires were in an intense rivalry over control of central Asia.

“Celebrating obnoxious ignorance” is probably the best way to put it.

The United States is a country where you get dirty looks for trying to pronounce a foreign word correctly. Hell, insisting on saying it wrong is just proof that the other language doesn’t matter.

Never recommend a book to an American. In our culture, it is the gravest of insults.

I don’t think my other comment really answers your question, so I’ll be clearer. This phenomenon is not just a Soviet cliché. It is a clear picture of the American people’s knowledge about the outside world. A high schooler who can point to France and Germany on a map is doing better than most of their peers.

Online is the only place you can find any American who knows anything. The ratio offline is even worse.

The vast, vast majority of Americans are like this.

I once had a coworker from Azerbaijan. I was his only coworker who knew where his country is. He was baffled and appalled at the general ignorance.

“It was part of the Soviet Union!”

Poor dude thought America teaches literally anything about its past or present rivals in schools. After that, another coworker just called him “Russian” for the whole rest of the time I worked there.

I struggle the same way when speaking Spanish haha

Shiny spurs, good horsemanship, and the fastest gun in the west

I’m hesitant until I see it in motion
