I don't really care about the honor of Rian Johnson, but I don't think your points are correct.

why are there suddenly cloaking devices in star wars

Cloaking devices were introduced in Episode I

why don't the imperials hyperjump in front of the fleeing rebels?

The tracking device makes hyperspace jumping a game of hopscotch. There's not really a point.

why can several characters leave a chase in progress visit some planet and come back to the chase still in progress?

Yeah, this one is kinda dumb, but it'd be possible for a small ship to escape unnoticed and get out of range in order to jump to lightspeed.

the holdo maneuver breaks several in-universe rules about how hyperdrive works.

Those rules are established in the books/supplemental materials, which aren't canon to the film series. The film-makers have no obligation to respect them. Episode 7 also breaks/rewrites the hyperspace rules.

Luke's character "development" happening entirely off-screen (and throwing out better character development from decades of books) makes the flashback scene completely unbelievable.

None of the books are canon. It makes sense that people change over long time skips, and they did outline the rationale for his mindset changes in the flashback.

It's also fitting the vanguard of America's descent into fascism will one of the earlier places (in the US) to be rendered uninhabitable by the climate change.

Fascism is a death cult.

What it means is that the Proud Boys weren't a nuclei of a proto-fascist movement going from the online fringes to the physical world, but just another FBI honeypot. Obviously, they were still a problem, but it recontexualizes the true enemy, which is the state in general and FBI's continuing COINTELPRO-like programs more specifically.

We still never figured out if straight people can ever have consensual sex.

That reminds me of the Liberal Socialist series of struggle sessions.

So threads will look weird since they could have posts and post chains with federated users, but you would be limited to local only content.

You see, if you're lying, that's misinformation.

If you're telling the truth but that truth benefits "our enemies" more than "our side", then it's disinformation.

I hope that clears things up.

When I get mad at posters on twitter, I also make wikipedia pages about how everyone is a Russian bot.

I was surprised to see that these videos were still getting made. I remember back in the breadtube boom checking them out, and stopped watching when they seemed real lib (in that the only politics that the video believed to exist were liberals, mainstream conservatives and alt-righters.)

Nowadays, it seems silly to even talk about the alt-right. Richard Spencer became a NAFO dork and the Proud Boys were revealed to be basically an FBI op based on how much of the leadership were informants. The extreme right is firmly embedded in the GOP, and while you still got your QAnon boomers, gropyers/zoomer falangists, patriot front, and GOP interns who just happen to be nazis, it doesn't make a lot of sense to refer to the alt-right as a fringe group as opposed to acknowledging the general half-born fascism that permeates the American right.

So, I've watched and read the first bits of both the comic and the manga. Watched the first live action episode. Was kinda of primed by the impressions in this thread, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I honestly liked the performances a lot, especially Luffy. The performances for Nani and Zora felt pretty baseline (not bad, but not outstanding), but I liked the energy that Inaki brought. The set design felt great, and while the costuming was kinda weird, I think it matches the mix of modern & early modern clothes from the original. The score is really fun as well.

Let me know when they take the swastika off their own planes.

Can't believe that acid marxist sold out to big Chapo. First, it was blackwolffeed not uploading Hell on Earth, and now our youtube uploaders are getting bought out as well.
