I was hoping they were going to be examining snarky new media. A major plot point could be an evil Technocrat threatening the free press for publishing articles he found embarrassing. Will he sue Aniston/Witherspoon’s “Gazer” out of business or will justice prevail in the end?

Your characterization of this as Trudeau “boasting” that he “wanted to beat the shite out of an indigenous person” is an extreme misrepresentation. First, it was a charity boxing match - no one was going to get hurt. Second, he described Brazeau as the perfect foil to the “rich, pretty boy, urban elite” image his…

This is everyone’s favourite Nice Guy PM Trudeau boasting about the fact he deliberately wanted to beat the shite out of an indigenous person.

God, I wish we only had 6 police shootings in the last year. That would be a tremendous victory in the US.

I’d wager 1/2 the Brexit voters don’t even have a passport. (“I’m not going on holiday somewhere with all those foreigners! Cornwall is fine for me.”)

“The swamp will not defeat him,” he said, breaking into the third person. “They’re trying to resist me, but it’s not going to work.”

You guys ever read an interview with someone and say to yourself at the end: “Holy shit that guy was on a lot of cocaine.”?

My hot twitter fetish has accelerated to the point where I only read tweets that contain the phrase “Im not white btw” anymore

Why you trying to bring beef where there weren’t none before you rolled up?

Alladis, right’chea!!! #alldiseasesmatter

‘I said what I said’

Like running through a cancer ward screaming “THERE ARE OTHER DISEASES, TOO!!!!”

THIS!

I hope in the near future, when Darth Becky nearly has a stroke responding to a Tweet with the same speed efficieny as a PETA member jumping in front of a car to prevent a raccoon from tattooing the pavement, that Twitter just automatically dumps ads for a therapist, followed by a DM that says

Lord. White-womaning act like the kid who didn’t want or notice a toy until some other kid started playing with it.

How fucking conceited and oblivious do you have to be to type that and hit SEND? Do white people have to insert themselves into everything?

But I think the problem with shows like this and Man in The High Castle is that there’s no way to quantify the effects of leaving an entire race/creed of people out of society. Individual contributions don’t exist in a vaccum. Think of how different music would be if all those amazing southern-born POC artists were…

I always thought an interesting alternate history would be one where Reconstruction actually continued, and all the freed slaves got their 40 acres and a mule.

I don’t even think you need to go with “The South Won” to tell an interesting story. Could just go with them getting astalemate, gaining some bit of sovereignty, and becoming isolated and backwards from the rest of the world

Words cannot express how horribly bad of an idea this show is right now. I mean, these are smart people- do they lack any sense?
