Because they made the world their bitch back then, probably. The victors write history, right?

He’s saying it shouldn’t be surprising that prisons resemble factories, schools, barracks, and hospitals. It’s just worded strangely, he says they resemble one another twice in a row, basically. Just worded strangely to me.

My favorite thing about this movie is you don’t have to watch it, the entire plot and setting is in the title, and you don’t need to know more! Power to people if they enjoy it but I’m not down to waste time on these “dumb” types of movies anymore.

That’s still one of the things you do in war, we just have less war now. It’s not gone forever I promise you. Russia is using rockets to destroy infrastructure in Ukraine, taking their power offline, trying to freeze people in winter.
I think people are the same as we always have been, deep down, and always will be. I don’t think we’re striving towards one day having some utopia, people like to ignore the ugly side of humanity but it’s there.

Reply to TIL in the 1920s, Coco Chanel accidentally got a tan, and helped inspire the trend of sunbathing. Soon "sunlight therapy" was prescribed for almost every ailment from fatigue to tuberculosis. Before this, tanned skin was associated with the lower classes who work outside, and fair skin was revered. by Pfeffer_Prinz
It’s funny how everyone flip flopped, in many places it’s desirable to have lighter skin yet white people are walking around looking like Oompa Loompas.
