And here I was thinking that the whole point is to get the viewer to come back next week to see what happens. They need to invest the viewer because that’s how you get the viewer to watch again. There’s nothing wrong with feeling attachment to characters or trying to predict what will happen next. I don’t watch for a…

Pish pish. It’s exactly as deep as a mainstream commercial show can get away with. There’s a reason profound French arthouse films get $300 in box office receipts. HBO can’t just stream a Baudrillard lecture, even if they slather it in tits and blood.

Like in France, where in order to be free the police can force you to strip in public until you show enough freedom skin to satisfy the mob? Is that free enough for you?

“Dr. King’s policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That’s very good. He only made one fallacious assumption: In order for…

To be fair, Jeffrey Wright was programmed to say that by Anthony Hopkins, so I’m not really sure that counts as a black man’s perspective.

It sure got everyone’s attention, which I believe was precisely the point.

While we may not have any hard proof (YET), there is a 0% chance Steve Bannon has never said nigger.

I was getting a more “sovereign citizen” vibe from the whole magic passport thing. He should have remembered his towel...

Whew. Going through the World Service Authority’s website is a trip. It’s a time capsule to early 2000s web design, for one. The site is filled with paeans to making a better world but when you really get down to it? They’re lefty Sovereign Citizens, except they’ve come up with the “brilliant” idea of charging people…

Ashley, I think it’s really unfair of you to post this. It’s pretty clear that these 1,041,191 emails, tweets, and letters don’t really represent Trump supporters in any way but are an anomaly. So your plan to try to trick us into thinking our God Emperor Trump isn’t an amazing, the best President ever, to be, is just…

Man, people sure have a strange way of expressing their economic insecurity.

I hope he’s assassinated.

The grand bargain whites made with Trump... I get to fuck you over, take away rights, destroy unions, cut taxes on the wealthy, cut spending for the poors, and you can say faggot and nigger to people again. Thanks white people

Oh ya. It’s us coastal elites who need to watch our language and tone. BE NICER GUYS 🙄

It’s cool though, all the Midwesterners with delusions that their old factory jobs can magically reappear aren’t *racist*, they just wanted somebody to listen to them.

Would you mind defining “alt-left”?

It’s amazing how hard liberals are working to claim this election had nothing to with race ... so they can make it all about race.

So you believe the party should reject a person for a position they are qualified to hold based on race, but should not have to suffer hearing anyone mention the word “racism” as a result. That’s not how words work.

Let me get this straight: you think that it’s “baloney” to call out a tweet that incredulously cites Ellison’s skin color and religion as evidence of his unsuitability to lead the DNC racist?

Sorry Brody, they are exactly racist pacifiers. They had at least 3 other candidates they could have chosen and they went with the racist/misogynist one. And now acts of hate seem to be spiking across the nation. I have zero empathy fucks to give.
