    I honestly don’t know how the audience managed to blue curtain this show. There are videos on YouTube titled shit like “Tony explains why liberalism fails” or something like that

    And in the video, Tony explains to AJ that black people are lazy and scammers, and that his ancestors built a church and community and that you need to work hard to get what you want.

    But the clip comes from an episode where Tony is literally scamming the government using HUD housing and kicking black people out of their homes.

    One thing I noticed is that the characters often discriminate every minority you can think of, but whenever they end up in the hospital because of some shooting or accident, the doctor is often a minority like a black person, or a woman, or an Asian guy

    Also after committing horrific crimes, the scene often cuts to some family friendly scene of everyone eating and joking around and playing with kids. If your brain can’t catch these contrasts then :confusion:

      I think that as a metaphor for why liberals fail, it actually works. Liberals fail because they believe that incisive artistic commentary can change the minds of chuds.

      It doesn't, most people will self-edit the fictional media they watch to fit their preconceived notions of what is 'real', which in capitalism is also mostly simulacra from 'the news'. But it does make for some damn good TV.
