You know I thought that people like Baudrillard or Fisher or Zizek (long live the drip) had figured out postmodern Capitalism in the 80's, but I guess it's actually the fucking Civil War guy who really gets it. R*ddit libs and getting the wall, name a better duo.
Yeah I watched it again recently and was actually shocked how much it's lost cause apologia and really sort of skims over all the tension that lead up to the war. Like Bleeding Kansas is five minutes. I'd dare say the whole thing is genuinely a bad take.
