Long story short the stupid lefties are evil murderers because people that are anti capitalist must be the most reprehensible cold blooded killers in society.

But don’t worry cool edgy cop lady is here to stop them - damn cops are cool. But even better, before she was a cop she was a troop!

Honestly stunning that this shit is walking around masquerading as prestige TV. It’s a whole lot of “boomers be afraid at every waking moment, there could be a bomb under your toilet seat!!” mixed with “and the bomb was put there by your woke grandkids that never visit!” and “cop good!”

0/10 would not recommend unless you like to be angry about irrelevant aspects of our cultural silage heap

Reading it feels like nails on a chalkboard to me every time

Can’t believe I slept on it thinking it was gonna be some run of the mill “people go to a place and get slowly killed off” type thriller. Highly recommend if you’ve also let it pass by like I have.

It’s also very funny.

Love my non-political fantasy series that heavily features racism, colonialism, the consequences those things have for the colonised, and their armed resistance to colonisation.

It is not ideas but material conditions that propel history forward. Veganism will win not necessarily through ethical/moral appeals (even though they are correct) but because factory farming of meat will become untenable (it already is). The malding carnists of today will be the vegans of tomorrow.

Thank you and goodbye.

A show about fake ultrarich people played by less rich people watched by poor people. A show that has pretensions about flagellating the rich while still somehow revelling in their debauchery and parasitism, a sort of recursive self-awareness that is supposed to somehow absolve the characters (and the irl rich?). Somehow it is both the sale of anti capitalism back to the anti capitalists whilst also scratching a Keeping Up With the Kardashians itch for watching the inter-familial spats of our feudal overlords.

A contemporary Game of Thrones where everyone is bad and there is no good and it’s just a TV show so it doesn’t matter, which handily conceals the fact that our everyday reality is literally this show, and that the stakes in real life are actually weighty and have moral and material value and can easily be viewed as right and wrong.

Along with a healthy dose of “their daddy was mean to them so it’s not their fault they’re all disgusting bourgeois pigs”.

What the fuck. We desperately need prolekult. I’m so sick of this two faced culture that sells our own hatred back to us and pokes the reward centres in our brain - “hey you just watched a pithy comment that could KIND SORTA be construed as anti capitalist on a million dollar show on a billion dollar network, you’ve done your leftism for the day!”

What stage of capitalism is it when everyone is so widely aware capitalism sucks that the most successful business model is pretending you agree that capitalism sucks?

AAAAAA
