I think the antipathy stems from the idea that it's baby boomers who bought into all the anti-socialist propaganda of the 80s and 90s, killing off the new deal populist democrats in favor or Reaganism and third-way dems.

this is the neoliberal economic trick, to use the aggregate gains in the economy to mask how things fucking suck if you're not in finance or tech.

i was investing. Now I'm at my night dojo. Try to keep up

It's because PWR BTTM is a punk band, on a indie record label, and this is the kind of credibility you can expect from a real leftist scene—as opposed to the way Hollywood and corporate pop use liberal politics as a signaling tool, then protect themselves when things get dicey. There's too much money at stake for…

big deal. While you were saving your money, I was buying another nootropic stack so I could overclock the logic centers in my brain and close another big ass deal

Selina has always been an absolutely terrible person, which is part of why the show is great

i was trying to not be inflammatory! For some reason. In the middle of my inflammatory jeremiad

to be fair, the article is literally about a guy arguing the problems with millennials

what the hell are you talking about

Aliens changed everything. if it wasn't for Aliens completely redefining how fucking badass space marines are, we would never have DoomGuy, let alone MasterChief. At least until someone made the Starship Troopers movie

@1derer, go home, Alien has boring characters. "Aesthetics are an important part of film!" That's me being you, and I'm being sarcastic

I get what you're saying, but you're forgetting that the CIA and FBI are good now

the process of reading against your will, each successive word more painful, the rapt horror as you press grimly forward, like Dallas in a dark ventilation shaft—this process makes sense

Yeah, that's dead on. Not only did it create all the tropes, it did them in a more sophisticated way then most of its imitators.

When I was 12 I thought Aliens was the best one (and Alien was okay, I guess) but older I get the more I realize it's not even close. Aliens rules like Terminator 2 rules, like Total Recall rules—but Alien is one of the best movies ever.

i guess im just shocked that intelligent government officials consider CNN a decent source of news. CNN is pure infotainment, and anyone who uses it as a primary source for news isnt a very serious person

I just preordered Nagle's new book about the Alt-right, "Kill All Normies"

James Adomian is one of the best comedians for doing characters, and his Gorka fucking rules

No, unfortunately. I saw that recently when he challenged people on twitter to "actually explain to him what neoliberalism is" (because it's not a real thing, I guess) and someone screenshot that tweet, and sent it to him*.
