Just European governments committing actual terrorism. Nothing to see here, move along please. (This is just the shit we learn about and I wished everyone who ever participates in any such scheme died an agonizing immediate death before they can execute it)

Kusimulkku ,

Why specify actual in such a way? Did those Greenpeace people get accused of terrorism?

acockworkorange ,

Did those Greenpeace people get accused of terrorism?

Only all the time. The press even coined the term ecoterrorism.

Kusimulkku ,

That’s interesting. I would’ve thought labeling stuff as terrorism was a newer thing, maybe early 2000s thing.

acockworkorange ,

Same as it ever was.

raspberriesareyummy ,

while you got an answer related to Greenpeace from another poster, I was referring to the 1984-like fearmongering of western governments about vague threats of terrorism.

The French embassy in Wellington denied involvement, stating that "the French Government does not deal with its opponents in such ways".

The poor ambassador must have been so fucking annoyed to learn that this is, in fact, how the French government deals with its opponents.

He would perhaps have been less surprised had he ever been randomly arrested or beaten up by cops at a political protest.

Oh the French? You mean the state that helped arm, train and fund the people that perpetrated the Rwandan Genocide and is still, to this day, protecting the architects of said genocide?

Color me surprised.

Oh, OK. It is a bit weird, but many see it as liberative.

ALSO, ALL CAPS?

Remember kids, always trust your government when they tell you who your enemy is. They’re never wrong.

Robert Shaw, a rare talent from the 70s.

Illuminostro ,

Rumor has it that Shaw was drunk the entire shoot, even after agreeing he wouldn’t be to Spielberg. Spielberg threatened to fire him, so Shaw was sober for the first shoot of this scene. It didn’t go well, so Spielberg let him get drunk for the reshoot, and he nailed it.

Of all nuclear powers France is top of my list to actually use nuclear weapons first.

Never fuck with the French.

They lost 1 war after centuries of successful military campaigns and now people associate them with the white flag. They were a super power. There’s a reason everyone on the planet knows what a croissant is.

Woht24 ,

They’ve lost approximately 49 wars.

Mirshe ,

Their current nuclear policy if they believe someone is going to credibly deploy nuclear weapons against the French is to fire a nuclear-tipped air-to-ground missile at the power in question, as a warning shot.

yetAnotherUser ,

So they’re openly saying what every nuclear power would do, got it.

Don’t you think every nuclear power will launch nukes at military targets the second they become aware someone intends to do the same?

I’m from New Zealand and my mother still brings this up every time France is mentioned in any context.

Woht24 ,

Yeah I used to work with a Kiwi and he fucking hated the French haha.

Damn cheese eating surrender monkeys.

All the WW2 movies and nobody in Hollywood thought to produce a shark-themed survival horror true story?

Apparently there’s a 2016 nic cage flick that’s abysmal, the one linked was an 90s movie I saw ages ago… it wasn’t as horrid as the 2016 apparently. YMMV.

graymess ,

That poster art is at least a pretty sick classic movie throwback.

There were video games, too.

My sister played the heck out of the Pico game

the_artic_one ,

I had forgotten until I saw this comment but now I distinctly remember a game where you were supposed to make a cake for a pig by following steps like putting the correct ingredients into the mixer. My sister and I used to repeatedly mess up the cake on purpose because the pig would eat it no matter what and we found it hilarious to feed him awful cakes made entirely of burnt eggshells.

Ppl didn’t know this? This show was a fundamental part of my childhood

I didn’t grow up with access to Nickelodeon. And Pokemon, and X-men were more of what I wanted to watch.
