  • It’s also just two words. Spanish worlds tend to be longer than english ones.

    “Muertos” is a direct translation of “dead”.

    “Evil” would be “maligno”, but “terroríficamente” was used "which would be like “terrifying”.

    Anyway spanish translations used to change a lot the titles of the movies back in the day, most famously “die hard” is “la jungla de cristal” (directly translated as: the glass jungle) here.

    I’ve heard that they did this because direct translations or english titles didn’t work as well here, and a change in the title made more people want to watch the movie.

    Nowadays this happens way less, most titles are direct translations or use their english title directly.





  • To understand nazis religion it is important to understand religion in germany.

    Back in the day, and today is similar in former west Germany, Germany had a fairly even split between catholicism and protestantism.

    So the nazi party taking a strong religious dogma either way would had been very harmful towards their objectives, as half the population could refuse to follow a catholic/protestant movement. That’s why their leader and the party didn’t really seemed to take a strong religious stance. But at the end they were linked to the conservative values that are associated with religion. And his allies, Spain and Italy. Both formed fascist dictatorships very linked with the Catholic church, being their countries homogeneous in that aspect. In fact Spanish dictatorship is often refered as national-catholicism, and Mussolini had full support from the Vatican and the Pope.

    At the end fascism, in whichever form and name it takes, tend to link with conservative values that are usually also linked with religion. The nazi party being just an exception due Germany particular religion situation.




  • There’s no stopping climate change in capitalism.

    And nothing was done in the way of ending capitalism. Asking “pretty please stop using oil we will paint things” to a capitalist government is ridiculous. The only way to end emissions is being us the ones who control the industry.

    So, from my point of view was a useless, possibly counter productive, action.



  • I’m not a US citizen.

    Anyway I would not start doing that kind of reasoning. I know it’s with good intentions. But it gives space to those who want to say that some group of people are bad just because a collateral reason.

    What if statistics would say that inmigrants do more crime? What if someone make a logical reason justifying that moving for one place to another makes you a bad person?

    I prefer not entering into that arguments. Each person should be judged by it’s actions, and not by which racial, national or any other not related group they belong.

    Also, I refuse to be called “worse” just because I did not emigrated, just saying.
