Brendan @bearc.bsky.social · 11/09/2026In 2024 Erie had the 2nd lowest spending share of the 11 tourism regions in Pennsylvania. To your point, it seems dubious that 1 out of every 6 PA residents visit that area! assets.simpleviewinc.com/simpleview/i... 001

Brendan @bearc.bsky.social · 31/07/2026Could you guess that the author of the post screen capped here didn't write the article they are linking? Most likely not as nowhere in the post does it attribute the author. To defend this is gross @nflspy.com 010

![Starship Troopers explores themes including patriotism, authoritarianism, militarism, colonialism, and xenophobia.[n] Verhoeven interpreted Heinlein's novel as fascistic, nationalistic, totalitarian, and in favor of military rule, something antithetical to the director's own wartime experiences, and used Starship Troopers to deconstruct and undermine these themes.[o] Iconography inspired by the German Nazi regime and Italian National Fascist Party appear throughout Starship Troopers as symbols of the United Citizen Federation (UCF). The UCF flag, bearing an eagle, resembles the Nazi coat of arms; officer uniforms are similar to those worn by the Nazi secret police—the Gestapo—including the insignia, and the symbol on infantry uniforms references Benito Mussolini's Blackshirts.[21][25] Neumeier said the Nazi uniforms were used, in part, because the Nazi outfits looked good, but Verhoeven also wanted to use that aesthetic in "an artistic way".[178] Although some contemporary critics and audiences considered Starship Troopers to be an endorsement of fascism, Verhoeven said, "whenever you see something that you think is fascist, you should know that the filmmakers agree with your opinion".[21][179] Other aspects of the Nazi regime influence Starship Troopers, from the architecture of Albert Speer,[25][178] to propaganda films such as Olympia. The first scene of Starship Troopers, an advertisement for the Mobile Infantry, emulates scenes from Triumph of the Will and references a line of dialogue, "I'm doing my part!"[p]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4h2onudgo236aisjiaii5jik/bafkreidymvvaxt66uhcsho6xxuozt7i55o7w53wziqnjjr72x6s3vyiljq)
![Pollard is an advocate of market-based public service reforms.[25] He believes that "the state has no business running schools or hospitals"[26] and "I object to the fact I have to pay for [the BBC]".[1] He has advocated the introduction of medical co-payments for the National Health Service and the introduction of a flat tax.[25][27] He expressed support for Chancellor George Osborne's decision to limit child benefits, writing that "welfare is thought of as an entitlement, so that those who choose not to work to support themselves can rely on the rest of us to pay their way."[28] He has praised Rupert Murdoch as "a man who has done more to democratise news, sport and leisure than any of his opponents."[29]
Pollard supported Brexit and praised the Conservative Party's 2019 manifesto.[30][31]
Pollard was a signatory founder of the Henry Jackson Society, a neoconservative British foreign policy think tank.[32][33]
Pollard says that he began to think about Judaism seriously and to feel loyalty to Israel in his mid-thirties.[1] Pollard has called Amnesty International a "woke joke" and accused them of allying with "groups that lionise Islamist terrorists."[34] He has also written that "Amnesty is a worthless, morally bankrupt sham that gives succour to terrorist states."[35]
Pollard supported the 2003 invasion of Iraq, while acknowledging failures in reconstruction,[36][37] and called the Stop the War Coalition "traitors", saying that their opposition to the invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan equated to supporting dictators.[38]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4h2onudgo236aisjiaii5jik/bafkreic6vdfqalqv5nsksva7oqfshvir2grre6c7dcv36h7vwu7jgr5orq)
