When I originally read that it was about some guys wanting to “change the system” from the inside, I thought it was a bit out of character for Boots Riley. Glad he was just fucking around
Also is that Elijah wood

At first I was like "No that can't be, that looks nothing like Frodo Baggins" but then I remembered that the Lord of the Rings movies came out over 20 years ago
I thought about it from the opposite direction: "Wow, Frodo aged really well! His beard is way less grey than mine!"
Sick. Reminder that Boots can't promote this because of the strike so watch it and tell people you're watching it
Is this the Boots Riley thing, or is that something else coming out later?
It's almost too on the nose, but I suppose it has to be for shitlibs to hopefully get the fucking point lmao
Yeah that's how I felt about Sorry To Bother You too.
Then I finished it watching it, and not a single person in the room really got it. And I don't mean 100% understood, critically analysed etc etc - I just mean that they saw anything beyond lolll horse people and wow working in a call centre must suck!
I felt like a very mediocre wizard. Or like a hog among dogs.
The show has like 3 scenes where it a character just explains cirises of capitalism and surplus value straight up
Consequentialism baybeeeeeee
This exact hypothetical is taught in ethics classes. You being a nice SS guard at a camp will reduce the most harm/provide the most utility. Watcha gunna do?
That's not even that good of a hypothetical, obviously you'd do better as an SS guard if you take the
pill and kill yourself and everyone around you.Yeah but I feel like if I wanted to do something like this i'd join the partizans or defect to the soviets. Too much of philosophy is focusing on vacuums instead of lives.
Do feel free to take the
pill tho

I wonder how liberals would respond if you extrapolated this out to conclude that Vietnam conscripts fragging their commanding officers are Consequentialists.
I'm watching one ep a night to draw it out and give myself time to digest each ep. It's quite a ride.
Yeah, if it ain't hamfisted most people just aren't gonna get it. The communist is a communist.
Gotta perform so the folks in the back of the auditorium can hear you. There's room for subtler performance when you're working in subtler themes. But I don't think Boots Riley is afraid of stomping on the toes of aspiring executioners.
Tangentially related but where are people downloading shows and movies now? RARBG was my go-to.
I search everything via qbittorrent it auto downloads the plugins. Extras like rutracker on the github
