Most of our current problems started with Reagan, and we're still paying for his unfortunate election as president...twice.

Also, deficit spending, breaking unions, the unholy alliance between the Republican party and Evangelical Christianity. A lot of what is wrong with America today started with Ronald Reagan’s Presidency.

“The Breakdown In Civility” is widely recognized as a conservative talking point that shifts focus from the bullshit being done to the reactions of those who are witnesses and victims of the bullshit being done. They complain about the lack of civility when they are the ones with their fucking boots on our necks. 

Let’s rewind the clock to about 1980 or so. Reagan picks up the baton of an anti-government platform from Barry Goldwater, after Goldwater’s acolytes effectively assumed control of the GOP. What followed was a systematic expungement of anyone and everyone that didn’t toe the party line, ultimately leading to the…

I tend to disagree. The “breakdown in civility,” something that was originally engineered by Newt Gingrich, is one of the main reasons we have such a problem with white nationalism today.

Also, several readers have reached out to me to suggest I watch previous seasons before I review this show. To them and anyone else who feels this way, I politely say...fuck no. That is not the point of this series! Thank you. 

I’m not gonna lie, I’m a little jealous of artists that can sell out. Integrity is great and all, but again, we’re in late-stage capitalism.

Hot take: He’s not even that good of a filmmaker.

Unpopular opinion: American Psycho was just as awful as the book upon which it is based. It was a boring porno that tried to dress itself up as art and failed at both.

...which in turn is a direct result of having to please shareholders, who don’t really care about the long-term since they’ll have sold their shares when prices peaked, and have long moved on to other companies by the time your operation collapses like a house of cards.

As a doctor:

Is the world so bereft of male talent that these few precious writers, comedians, directors, chefs, politicians, executives, judges, etc., etc., and of course etc. must be “rehabilitated” at all costs? Are their works so important, so poignant, so critical to our understanding of the human condition that to lose them…

keep thinking this is a relationship between Nanny McPhee and David Fostter Wallace since I’m not actually sure who these people are. 

If something doesn't bother me, it shouldn't bother anyone! I can eat peanuts, so those snowflakes with "allergies" should just suck it up and be exactly like me!

Why not let people be the judge of what they watch?
