still better than the star wars trilogy
Once or twice the waitress came by to collect plates, and, coughing, made mock gestures of trying to sweep the clouds away with her hands. She didn’t mind at all, but rather seemed perplexed how something so commonplace could cause such unprecedented excitement.
I’ll be honest, I skimmed the article and didn’t pay too close attention, but I didn’t see the author stating everyone goes to prison for fourteen generations if they take one puff
If anything the article came off as “literally no one cares”
that’s like saying it’s okay to kill american children because they would’ve grown up to be school shooters anyway
Reading into subtext doesn’t seem common except among total nerds
People don’t see any subtext if they’re propagandized enough, it’s actually terrifying. There’s a best of the worst episode about Carnosaur, a right wing propaganda, where the main character is a security guard for a construction site plagued by hippies chaining themselves to bulldozers and stuff. The hippies are portrayed as braindead potheads, and there’s an insane scientist who gives birth to a t-rex in the hopes that the dinosaurs will wipe out humanity. I’m talking Poison Ivy from Batman & Robin level of blatant anti green propaganda. So basically every left leaning character is evil and stupid. Jay, a professional movie critic points out how every left leaning character in evil and stupid, and then instead of recognizing the movie for the right wing propaganda, he somehow assumes the movie creators are left leaning but also incredibly stupid. He thought they tried to show their point of view in a positive light but failed so spectacularly they came out as villains. It’s honestly one of the dumbest takes I’ve ever heard in my entire life.
professional movie critic, btw
lol no
“national debt is a made up number” is a meme made up by libs so they don’t have to do anything. The best way to fix the debt is to raise taxes, and libs of course are completely incapable of that notion, so they have no choice but to do the only thing they can, gaslight everyone into pretending the problem doesn’t exist and america is already great
