“What is sinister and what we shouldn’t tolerate is the idea that local councils can decide how often you go to the shops and that they ration who uses the roads and when, and they police it all with CCTV.”

Much as I was fascinated with it, I struggle to explain why. On the one hand, I think it was how unfamiliar it felt. Seeing the Cultural Revolution from Ye Wenjie’s perspective — and that of other characters — and imagining this work in dialogue with those political changes, was fascinating to me. I’m very much raised…
Brian Cox is so famously a cynical grouch that it’s impossible to watch this without imagining repeated cut interludes where he says things like ”What is this shit?” And “This is fucking nonsense.” And "The things I do for money."
Wrong. Bad car.
But.. why then use liberal internet powered by liberal electricity using socialist English to type your BS? Use your "real successful alt fascist" tools to do it? Unless...no trickle down alt right failure has never achieved anything?
Oh God bless you for just performing the lines highlighted in the article.
If I were a kid in 2024, I probably wouldn’t care much about cars. Especially not super and hyper cars. I honestly think the kids of today have it right: Trying to improve the world for the better, and owning a super car or whatever, is not something they are aiming for or dreaming about.
Can liberal based humor be bad? Of course because everything can be bad. But right wing comedy is a special kind of bad specifically because it’s not really about being funny. What’s “funny” is not the content of a racist, but rather that it’s going to upset liberals “because” you made that racist joke. And that’s…
Done.
It’s cynical. The obfuscation, as the article puts it, is there to make the audience as broad as possible, in the hopes of cashing in on those who sincerely believe Jones’ bullshit as well as those who just think it’s funny.
Especially if you can spend your way there.
...except, ya know... actually join an organization or cause that does real, productive things and makes the world a better place, even in the smallest of ways.
We should be taxing the 1% way more but we also need to figure out a way to tap the disposable income of motherfuckers who spend $300 on already overpriced mugs because someone on Tik Tok told them too.
Congrats is survived a car fire, pretty much any insulated “Yeti” clone tumbler would have also survived lol.
Taking the side of a brodozer driver on Jalopnik is Brave.
Because police can just as easily “chase” you with radios, surveillance and detective work that doesn’t endanger the general public.
I didn’t expect to see this set, but I was at my parents’ home when they decided to watch. (While I educate where I can, I don’t police what my family watches.) So, I sat through this before reading about it. And, I have to say, this article nails it. He sounds like an old fool; one of those guys you’ll hear in any…
It’s all fun and games to him because because it’s not personal to him. Well, except for that one transwoman friend who absolves him of his sins.
Deeply disappointing. His early and middle work was genuinely transgressive, but he’s turned into a intransigent crank.
Every female character in a video game is just “male character with tits,” while all male characters are distinct in their own special way.
