Most likely. There certainly seems to be a greater divide between the far and moderate left than between both ends of the right, particularly when the former seem far more susceptible to embodying the typical SJW mentality of strawmanning moderate leftists and centrists as "alt-right nazis" and other buzzwords just because they don't fully agree with policies on some issues to the same extent; or, to quote the common phrase, are even slightly to the right of Karl Marx. Meanwhile, infighting and general civil unrest amongst each end of the political right seem to be fairly negligible despite the polarisation between some individuals and views on certain policies. This is somewhat inevitable, since both by design and implementation, right policies strive for order over chaos whereas the left thrive from order out of chaos, the latter of which don't work as long-term solutions (as though many historic examples such as the French/Russian revolutions didn't make this pretty blatant).

Another reminder as to why Life of Brian is one of the best satirical comedies ever put to film. :galu

I haven't seen it and only vaguely heard of it, so I have no thoughts to offer.

It’s sort of your run of the mill teenage Netflix series. Make what you will of that :shc

Since apparently there's been protest going on in your country as well, have you witnessed it first hand or have any of your friends been participating in them?

Most of the protests are only happening in larger cities in the UK such as London, whereas I live in quite a small village, so I've thankfully not been subject to the repercussions that come with it (assuming they would be anywhere as extreme as the ones currently in the US).

DIO would end up being GASLIGHTED into keeping Polnareff by his side rather than sending him against the crusaders so that he could unlock the Stand :donovan needed to achieve his dreams, 3 Silver Chariot Coins. :donovan3

Would Donovan's stand be holding a 50 inch long metallic dildo rather than a rapier like Silver Chariot? :donovan2

Fairly out of character when he was shown in Z to be a pretty good father when it mattered and, despite training intensely, it didn't seem as though his training was far from the Son family residence.

Woke garbage with little to no logic in character writing that completely misses the point on many parts of the original characters and degrades all of its returning characters, particularly Ozymandias and Silk Spectre. Easily the 2nd worst thing HBO produced in 2019 (Game of Thrones Season 8 being their obvious winner of the grand prize of abhorrent quality).

On the subject of GoT, the channel Macabre Storytelling (who does rewrites for GoT character arcs due to how poorly the show handled them) did a very comprehensive breakdown on why Wokemen is so awful, if interested in the thoughts of someone more informed on it.

It's a fairly mixed one due to my family living in different parts of the country and such. If I were to describe it, I'd say it's mainly a mix between Geordie and Yorkshire with a very slight hint of the typical posh/standard English.

How would you describe my accent, based on those vocaroo recordings?

I'm not as familiar with the differences in American accents outside of the more thick and stereotypical ones, but from what I've heard, I can spot the California or general Pacific Northwest inflections within it.

Did you know that American English accents are actually closer to the British English accents spoken in the 17th~18th centuries? British English actually changed more drastically due to continental European influences while American English preserved the pronunciations and inflections present in the earlier form of the language. Throws quite a bit of a wrench into the common perception that Americans speak a bastardized form of English. :troll
