T1, T2, Predator, and Total Recall. Those are my 'Arnolds Best' films. He had an incredible run of movies from the 80s into the early 90s. Legendary. I even rewatched Kindergarden Cop a few months back and it was great seeing him stress out about the kids.
It sucks to see how far off the ball he is on these issues. Wokeness has leaked into everything. These people feel if you don't support raging riots burning down cities... you are racists. But a bunch of rednecks invade the capital... and basically do very little... and it is DOMESTIC TERRORISM.
My wife who is frustrated how much the capital thing is overblown by some of her friends (friends she is getting very sick of). I told her to bring up a hypothetical scenario that really would have been actual terrorism. 50 men arrive in vans, all wearing max body armor, carrying preferred rifles, and proceed through the capital building comiting murder and terrorism.
THAT would have been terrorism but the media and the Woke left are treating the Velvet Rope Crew like that DID show up with guns and mass shoot everyone. Their reaction is exactly the same as you'd expect. They are behaving like it was a school shooting X100.
It is the last sentence of that paragraph and the simple fact that he has a rough/abrasive leadership style. His personality is to the point, kind of bullyish, and gruff. He is strong in a very primal way. He's the 'mean guy that works for you!' as he has previously essentially stated. They hate him for these things. They don't want that kind of leader, they want prancing, fluffy, sanctimonious leaders like Trudeau. A tough leader is scary to them.
EDIT: They are also insane Woke religious zealots. They would have treated Bush even worse if the Wokeists had been around substantially back then. I don't think as badly... but they still would have. They view themselves as the victims and Trump as the oppressor.
I don't think he wants to be that guy. He doesn't want to, or can't get the support, to be that historical president who kicks ass at the very last second. If no one listens to him, and he has pissed off enough people with his admittedly rough/abrasive style personality... they won't lift a finger and nothing will happen. He doesn't want to end up in jail or executed as a 'traitor' if he fails. And he will fail if there isn't any support from those around him.
Well back in the golden era of body building it wasn't even a hidden or 'cheat' to do steroids. They all did it and it was fully legal. The whole 'cheating' thing really started in the late 80s with damn JOE BIDEN of all people raging about 'cheating in baseball'. At which point they banned all steroids and it became a massive illegal thing.
Nigel should be the British Prime Minister and I hope one day he can still have his shot. Boris has been a complete disappointment. Stole Nigels message just as it was working and the Brexit Party was polling for a big win. With Johnson stealing the message the voters just went back to the Conservative Party they were comfy with.
This didn't work out well for the humans in the Matrix series. They thought they were clever to block out the sun because the machines relied on solar power.
Oh wait... so does every single living thing on planet Earth... they just aren't doing it through solar panels. In the sci fi future of the Matrix, the humans probably killed more of humanity via mass starvation after the planets couldn't grow and all other animals died out so they couldn't be eaten either.
Anyone considering this kind of geoengineering is ignoring the numerous unforeseen consequences that could make our lives far worse.
This is always fun to say to Woke nutcases. They then attempt to spin the conversation on 'power' and that white people have the most power and thus it doesn't matter.
BULLSHIT! White people are a tiny minority and should be protected just like any other minority. We are at risk of being wiped out by letting our homelands being destroyed by multicultural virtue signalling that destroys Western culture.
I'm actually fine with a multiracial society. I have friends from pretty much all races. But they are all VERY Western people. They like all the things that make the West amazing and want the culture to remain alive.
White people in the Western world literally INVENTED the anti-racism movements on a massive culturally accepted scale. Same goes for womens rights, gay, rights, so forth.
All of these things started in Western countries back when they were still 95% white. Our civilization had advanced far enough, and was comfy enough, to start thinking about such issues and making changes.
The left and the right used to agree on this. But it was the rise of Woke political religion and its culture zealot followers that claim somehow the USA and the Western world are not THE MOST RACIST, THE MOST SEXIST, THE MOST BIGOTTED.
These shielded, isolated, untraveled, morons have no idea the rest of the world is RACIST AS FUCK and often views our social revolutions as weaknesses.
The woke people are effectively junkies who get high off of being nonwhites saviors and that requires viewing them as victims. This is also why Wokeists become furious when people like Candace Owens, or any other nonwhite person has right leaning or antiwoke ideas. They are angry their drug supply is being messed with.
The far left Woke political religion. They are so unaware they have become puritan culty religious zealots. They far left Wokeists have their tentacles out and wrapped around many of the more normal lefties. These people can't see the difference between 'compassionate language' and the weaponized authoritarianism of the Woke. These Woke scum turned a combo of political, activisty, and social justice concepts into an insane freakshow religion that is hellbent on destroying the Western world and remaking it as a Woke theocracy.
FUCK THAT!
This is the reality. It is a real thing but just one of many virus' in the world and didn't deserve this ridiculous casedemic hysteria. This is from a 0.5% death rate for most of the population. Imagine 15% or 25% death rate... humanity would be over and head straight to Mad Max Fury Road. More people would die of starvation after all the shutdowns and moronic hysteria bullshit destroy the supply chain and agricultural systems.
Exactly this, the true meaning of Liberal isn't left wing. Trump and a ton of right wing people believe in the liberal and enlightenment values that made the Western world.
The left, influence by the far Woke left religion... now hate actual liberalism and enlightenment values. They are anti Western destroyers of our society.
The movie is also racist as fuck against black African people. Real soft bigotry of low expectations stuff. It suggests that while the rest of the planet evolved... would remain using primitive sticks over even regular guns (even when they have lasers), living in huts, and wearing tribal clothing instead of their own modern clothing.
It flat out has them take part in tribal fights to the death to determine their new dictator of all things. If someone else decides to fight, happens to throw a lucky punch, that person can turn the entire country into tryanitcal shit. They never developed a system of government even slightly past CAVEMAN beatdowns for who is leader.
When it comes to war they gather like it is Braveheart and run at the enemy with their primitive those sticks, making no use of cover, modern techniques, or again... GUNS... which would be required because their enemies have evolved even if they haven't. Only after risking the lives of so many of their people do a couple people out of thousands suddenly wipe out LASER HANDS and begin shooting.
The movie blatantly suggests the they are destined to remain tribal savages no matter what technology has benefitted them. All of this is despite real, modern day African cities having normal clothing, people armed who would use AK47s over sticks, drive cars over RHINOS, and actually vote for new leaders.
This written of course by black Americans who are culturally American yet are fetishizing tribal black African living as a modern way of life. (Though I do imagine they were somewhat restricted to the original comics ideas)
Imagine white people making a movie about Sweden with VIKINGS. All the vikings in 2021 are wearing leather and bear skins, and wearing classic horn helmets. They run around with massive broadswords instead of guns... even when fighting people with guns. They travel around on horses while directly completing with tanks. All of this is portrayed as normal. The whole cast is white and the movie is championed as the least racist, most diverse, least stereotype using film ever.
