Leftists: "culture is garbage and everything is bought and paid for in a way that's designed to extract maximum profit for minimum effort. Let me go back to the same slop trough and get another snootful!"
I don't understand why anyone is surprised that entertainment is garbage. I don't know the first thing about this movie. I don't know whose in it, who directed it, or any other relevant detail, and somehow I could still tell it wasn't worth my time.
The Chapo podcast does this too. Three bromandudes in their 40s get famous pointing out how shitty American culture is while simultaneously drinking it all in to the point that they are current on every single shitty show or movie.
It's like when I see someone at work palling around with someone they just got done talking shit about.
I dont think any "leftist" has ever said "culture is garbage". Youre literally on the hexbear forum specifically about movies, we like movies here.
Actually if you're a leftist you should only watch MosFilms on YouTube.
"Communism is when you watch hour long video essays on youtube and the longer the video essays are the more Communister it is"
- Karl Marx, youtuber, influencer and video essayist
MosFilm is all Soviet movies though
It is pretty cool how every soviet film is now public domain and you can just watch them on YT now
(I didnt know that until I looked it up. I just saw "youtube" and "leftist" and thought: video essay)
According to this site that's the LEAST communist thing you can do
If you didn't like the movie that's fine, but I don't think classifying it as "slop" is really accurate here. Eggers is an actual auteur director who makes films that aren't "designed to extract maximum profit for minimum effort", if anything is flaw is he's a bit too instant on certain details of his work.
Fish in a polluted pond: this shit sucks I want fresh water
You: yet you drink polluted water non-stop your fucking hypocrites
Are you just blaming and moralizing over people’s environments? What is there to do within western culture except point out how terrible it is and why?
I bet they have iphones too.
As the one true leftist, I have a Huawei. Suck it, libs
This is a very bleak outlook
