Pierce Brosnan is your favorite Bond actor?
That's the actual shocking part
He’s the one whose movies were in theaters in the 90’s and early 00’s. (Personally, I’d go with Dalton.)
That is so much of what drives people's opinions I think. My favourite bands are still the ones that I found when I was in highschool and college. Some of them were current and otherwise.
If I had to pick a favourite bond actor it would be Brosnan because he was bond when I was kid.
I have to remind myself of this when something gets remade. It doesn't mean the first one was good, that was just what my nostalgia reminds me of.
Not saying nuance doesn't exist, but for things that people don't really think about, nostalgia is powerful.
Was
Thank you. I was about to ask for those of us who don’t follow actors, who that was
It was a drive-by fruiting!
Will always remember when I was playing multiplayer GoldenEye in college and one of the guys said this as he was killing Bond (complete with accent)! RIP Robin.
Wait what brosnan endorsed that guy? Man he always seemed like a reasonable sort of chap. ☹️
Hey wait a second... That's not Garbage! Garbage just did the theme song for one of Brosnan's Bond movies.
The World is not Enough
The song and the music video are pretty banger. And Shirley Manson is a legend / queen.
If you like Garbage's stuff and you love Shirley Manson, then oh boy check out Stephanie Cheape and Queen.
It was as if it was made as a love letter to Garbage
It was actually my favorite one up until Writing on the Wall came and snatched the title.
Yeah... I stopped having a favorite "actor-who-played-a-personification-of-rapacious-British-imperialsm" when I realized that they were acting as a personification of rapacious British imperialism.

You are the worst assistant ever and you're disgusting, Dwigt.
"The Garbage Man Can!!!"
I can't believe I can still remember that song, but it's what immediately popped into my head upon seeing this image.
How is RFK Jr racist?
Better question:
Who is RFK Jr. and why should I care?
Until right this instant I never knew the guy existed.
I'll post here to request this information as well.
Why, do your memories and Google not work?
There's a lot more to go into beyond the most recent and obvious, but it involves his deliberate targeting of the black community with misinformation and a discussion of historical usage of Great Replacement theories, historical dogwhistling, and other kinds of nuance that someone asking honest questions might be interested in.
Obviously racism = bad.
But genuine question: why is it so common that old and historical figures are judged on modern day ethics? It seems logical to me that if we base people's past beliefs and actions on present standards that we should judge present beliefs and actions and future moral standards. At least until we can arrive at an absolutely perfect moral standard that will exist all through time. But this seems irrational to me. My rephrase my question: what is unethical about living your life to the best moral standards you can (which is defined and limited by the knowledge and culture of your day).
He endorsed RFK Junior.
Also, there have been plenty of people throughout history who lived in "ignorant" cultures who weren't racist, misogynistic, etc.
Being afraid of the unlike is natural. Overcoming that fear, makes you civilized.
Remember, during American Slavery there were groups of people who were against the racism and slavery during that time...
It may not have been a massive movement but still.
It's not modern thinking
I actually completely agree with your perspective and also have no idea what you're talking about. Is Pierce Brosnan the historical figure in this scenario?

My personal completely unprovable theory is that when the Qanon crowd was getting excited about JFK Jr returning as a zombie to lead them to the promised land it got started from a discussion about RFK Jr and somebody made a typo that the rest of the clown show latched on to.
Or maybe they just didn't know the difference. Being clowns.
