I'm pretty sure fans will fill in the blanks for you. Speaking as a former fan. (Though the Winter Soldier movie is still my guilty pleasure gay drama)
With the amount of alcohol I consumed in my youth and the amount of movies I watched during that time, "bits and pieces" is pretty accurate for a lot of movies.
Fair, but my rebuttal to that response is that the person asks you if you've seen a movie with the intent to follow up with a detail of that movie. Basically when someone asks, they assume you have a pretty thorough understanding of the movie, so they can bring up a detail. Instead of being cryptic about it, I've started saying "I think I've seen it, but it was so long ago, I don't remember too much."
Pikety tapped the works of Marx and Engels to build up a big chunk of the historical record on wealth aggregation over time. Marx's thesis was predicated on a vast trove of probate records that he'd aggregated and analyzed.
Pikety's critique of Marx amounts to "you claimed we'd get a revolution but the western states proved more resilient than you anticipated". And in that sense, Pikety has Marx dead to rights.
Cit21st then asks why the colonial powers never experienced the revolutions that Russia, China, the Global South repeatedly endured. Although that is incidental to the primary conclusion wrt the trend of wealth inequality as driven by the gap between domestic growth and asset appreciation.
You know those people that just can't admit they haven't seen the movie you're asking about and they have to reply with "ehh bits and pieces"?
This motherfucker based his entire career off that attitude.
That's me and marvel movies.
That one should be easy. "Hey, remember that wink at the audience joke?"
But I don't know any of those because I don't watch marvel movies :think-mark:

Remember that one scene where captain america punches a guy and then says a witty one-liner?
His ass is America's ass!
Did they actually say that?
Yes.
What the actual fuck. I'm glad I cut movies out of my media diet
Wise move, comrade. The brain worms are not worth it.
my solution is just to go through the back catalogue and not watch anything made after say, 2019 or so
there's so much I have never seen

I usually just say "I saw that famous scene on YouTube, but other than that I don't know"
You're confusing Pikety with Peterson.
