Handmaids Tale

[CatsWin2025]

New season dropped last week.

While the entire series has been largely aimed at evangelicals, I find it odd that said evangelicals are also climate crazies.

Most modern media embraces the reality of rhetoric that aligns with the zeitgeist. It’s at least a bit odd that god fearing zealots would be so enthusiastic about climate control and banging girls at Jezebels. It’s a weird commentary on current affairs.

Is there a risk of religious zealots taking the country over? No. They lack the stones. At the same time, it’s an interesting discourse on what might happen in the future. How many here would have an issue with what goes on in that series?

I can hear Nightwish hammering his keyboard from here.

The Muslims seem to be succeeding at it in Europe.

If there's one thing the Paddock has taught me over the years, it's to fear Muslims and basically anyone who doesn't look like me. And also fear big cities and the rest of the world in general.

I assume The Handmaid's Tale sucks btw. Watch The Righteous Gemstones instead.

I don't watch much TV, but the original book was brilliant, a modern classic

It's like you said his name three times.

Should we fear Muslims? I've read that blacks are a problem in America and violence is their culture in the political thread, with one poster saying he didn't care if a mod banned him for saying that. So again, according to the Paddock, should we just fear everything? Muslims and black people are already on the checklist by some who post here daily.

Is this a serious question? Also, watched the first 3 or 4 seasons with my wife. Really enjoyed it and thought it was a great show. But then the season she escaped and made it back but was a mess and then she went BACK I just stopped watching. I mean obviously they were just trying to extend the show with the ridiculousness that she would actually go back there.

 

[funKYcat75]

It's a good show, but as mentioned above, all of the travelling back and forth is dumb. Not to mention the long shots of June staring off into the camera. I'm sure that's how the series will end, but she'll be smiling.

Also:

1. Ofglen/Emily (crazy chick from early seasons)
2. Serena
3. Janine
4. Chick they threw in the pool
5. Moira
6. Rita
7. Aunt Lydia
8. June

The righteous gemstones is ******* hilarious.

So your wife won't let you watch UK tournament games but roped you into watching multiple seasons of the gd Handmaid's Tale starring possibly the ugliest actress I've ever seen?

Good Lord.

Sounds like someone needs to go retrieve their nuts from the jar in their wife's purse, imo.

I said I liked the show you dipshit. But I do agree she is extremely hideous, definitely the biggest fault of the show. Especially since they keep pretending she’s attractive. Either way I stopped watching 5 years ago.

Nice strawman, retard

 

[Nightwish84]

Nice strawman, retard

Nice insult, edgelord.

Fear appears to be the point of the show and possibly your post about Muslims. Fear Muslims, fear Europe, fear immigrants, fear the other side, fear trans, fear black people, fear big cities, fear Russia, fear China, fear Mexico, fear going to the Yum Center. I've read all of that here in recent years. Obviously you don't post in *that* particular thread nor can you control what's posted there but fear sells. Your post insinuates Muslims are taking control of Europe, thus we must fear them.

 

[Someguywhodoesntlikeyou]

My wife and oldest daughter watch it and my wife gave me the book to read years ago but I never have.

World is full of hate now. Don’t see that changing any time soon sadly.

 

[Ron Mehico]

World is full of hate now.

The world is probably in the least “hate” filled state it’s ever been. People are tribal animals, it’s who we are. That’s never going to be eliminated. But we’re certainly more “civilized” and peaceful right now than we’ve ever been.

We’ll just have to agree to disagree friend

 

[Ron Mehico]

It’s not really an opinion: here’s the homocide rate over the last 8 centuries:


Crime rate over the centuries

 

[funKYcat75]

Yeah. There's 'hate' in calling each other dicks and r****rds and blasting folks on social media, and then there's 'hate' of blowing people up or away. I'll take the former and just try to ignore the noise as much as possible.

OP asked if there was any threat of religious zealots taking the country over. Muslim zealots in Europe are doing so and I pointed it out. Has nothing to do with fearing black people. Zealots/extremists of any color/religion are eventually a problem for society.

 

[WildcatFan1982]

I don’t think Elisabeth moss is ugly. But I don’t think she is attractive either. Fairly plain to me :/

Is Europe as a whole threatened? Are Muslims succeeding in taking control? I googled this and came away with several articles which state a belief in an anti-Muslim idea that they're taking over, when in fact that's false. We've seen that same idea of "the others invading" (the word 'invade' has been used) here and elsewhere. It's used as a tool to spread fear and divide. While illegal immigration deserves attention, how many times has Fox reported on an "invasion" near the border right around mid-October? Those pesky invasions always happen when we're about to vote it seems. I mean, I can't help but notice those who typically claim Muslims are taking over Europe are also those who claim Mexicans are taking over America who also claim we need to stay out of cities because they're all warzones. Fear. Fear. Fear.

As I've gotten older, I assumed people would be over this silly fear of living amongst those who are different or practice another faith. Guess I give humanity, or at least those online, too much credit.

 

[NociHTTP]

The Muslims seem to be succeeding at it in Europe.

And in Dearborn, MI. Apparently they're at in Columbus, Ohio.

Curious what your thoughts are on the Baltimore man who was "illegally" deported to El Salvador... Honest curiousity.

I haven't seen the show but like the chick that played Hannah n dexter. Yvette something.

I agree with everyone the main actress is very plain Jane. She isn't Chunks sister levels ugly like the last of us ellie actress though.

You could play racquetball off that forehead

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

forehead? more like a FIVEhead. Handmaid is the perfect job for her, because who wants to wake up to THAT in the morning? Hit it and then back to the "quarters".

 

[funKYcat75]

This season is not great. The June/Moira/Luke dynamic is so boring. I like Bradley Whitford’s character and even Serena (this season) but the rest are meh.
