Looks at empty shelf with only a single copy of Sorry to Bother You
“Uhhh lots of stuff…yeah…”
things leftists like (comprehensive) :
sorry to bother you
parasite
come and see
inglorious basterds
sopranos
disco elysium
night in the woods
dune
the dispossessed
thats the one i was most iffy on. im not sure if its that leftists like the sopranos, or everyone likes the sopranos
inglorious basterds
hell yeah
but for real this is a great list, I haven’t seen sopranos or dune but everything else here I’ve seen is great
You should watch the Sopranos, as Felix and Matt have pointed out it (maybe accidentally) is a commentary on decline in America, and on some pathologies of suburban America. But even beyond that it’s just really well written. The dialogue usually flows nicely, there are lots of little subplots which almost always have some payoff (unlike a lot of shows out there).
inglorious basterds
Really not sure about the movie in the whole. At least Americans think they are the good guys in the movie.
Also Snowpiercer.
And I just finished reading The Dispossessed, it’s incredible, every leftist should read it. IIRC Guillermo del Toro is some sort of anarchist, and if so I think he could make a great adaptation of it into a movie.
They Live
The famously outsider and unpopular Avatar.
It is good to hate the things the rest of the working class likes because it clearly makes you seem more relatable and not at all like a miserable asshole.
I’m going to singlehandedly prevent the radicaliztion of the working class by dunking on marvel movies
People watching that stuff are numerous enough to make a ton of those grifters a lot of money, but I don’t think they’re large enough to hold very significant influence. Like Tim Poole’s channel viewership is comparable to the video console repair channel I like watching, and I imagine watching someone repair consoles is on the more obscure side of interests.
“In this moment as I refer to the local team as sportsball, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god’s blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence”
I bet they wouldn’t be fun if you A: had no knowledge of the sports in question and B: went alone because you have no friends and also C: weren’t open to learning about the sports or making new friends. Like maybe fold your arms and glare the whole time and also whenever the crowd gets excited about anything yell “this is dumb. You’re all dumb for liking this. It’s just a ball traveling through space.”
What’s next, are you going to tell people to go to the opera? Get with the times grandpa. The only type of sport anyone outside of boomers cares about is esport.
Some of the things the working class likes are dogshit, tho.
Like, listen to the “Time for my Stories” bit on LOST. Classic example of people just kinda getting sucked into the Mystery Box and caring very hard about a thing that was utterly hollow and pointless. Or, fuck, anything flavored with Game Of Thrones.
