In the Muirverse, Star Wars quotes make women smile seductively, possibly even turn them on. This is not true in the real world, in my experience, but it is clearly how Muir imagines his ideal world would work.

Also, for a grizzled outdoorsy 70-something, Zed's dad sure acts like a nerd from a younger generation. Wonder why that is. It's almost like Muir is incapable of forming distinct characters.

Can Muir just skip to the part where the Mosad agent mows down a group of immigrants with a machine-gun mounted on blowjob-Russian's helicopter? We all know it's coming.

Yeah P. Sure Mossad Operative exists to do the things that Zed can't plausibly get away with doing. Like, we're supposed to buy that Muir is surrounded by porn stars who all want to either blow him or tell him how big his dick is, but we're expected to believe that Zed can't get away with gunning down immigrants... But she can because she's a spy with a License to Kill(tm)


I'm pretty sure Muir just reads right wing blogs and re-watches vaguely patriotic action movies all day long and thinks this is how the world actually works. In Muir's world the Nextel firefighter commercial is real and not literally the stupdiest piece of advertising since the surgeon general told us that smoking was good for our digestion. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bH1vlteSuQ -- link to the firefighter commercial if you've never seen this abortion of advertising) In Muir's world Red Dawn could have actually happened and possibly did, because maybe the government covered it up, you never know. There's layers of insanity and whimsy to this reality and it's both scary and fascinating to watch him at work.

Thankfully, Muir is poo poo broke and lives in utter poverty, so we never have to worry about him doing anything significant except maybe gunning a bunch of people down in a final blaze of glory.

Isn't she supposed to be shooting immigrants? Did he seriously use Ethnic Masturbatory Material No. 242A to shoot at Ukrainian protestors? I thought he'd be a-ok with them taking on the New Soviet Union under Putin. Or is he also a Putin fanboy?

The ethnically segregated Russian Empire army got its rear end kicked in WWI and was basically forced to enlist jews and muslims to overcome the manpower shortage, while the truly diverse Soviet army led by a Georgian, a Russian and a Polak won WWII.

Both Austria-Hungary and Russian Empire lost so hard their states crashed as the result.

Ethnical and religious tensions played its part in Russian Revolution and the sudden willingness to send hundreds of thousands of jews and muslims to die for Tsar and Country in WWI after a good century of treating non-Orthodox people like poo poo was not met with much celebration. It is as if the desegregation is instrumental in disarming the ethnical tensions in the army and the modernisation in general.

Afaik, being drafted into the army was a huge problem for the Jewish population of Russia long before WWI.

They could not use the army as the career lift, as people of Jewish faith were prohibited from rising in ranks.

And then, suddenly, in 1917 the military commanders are surprised that a large number of 500 000 enlisted Jews turn out to be not loyal to the regime.

Hey I just got back from Istanbul, where I found these things in a coffeeshop that look like they might be political cartoons (at least the Erdogan shirt seems like it must be a dead giveaway). Can anyone provide any insight? Google Translate is really not cutting it here.





They seem to be Turkish sort of alt-humor magazines (a la Mad perhaps?) but I'm not totally sure.
