they want a global order with a few hundred white male billionaires on the top, a few thousand servants and technicians and guards to serve them, and a few billion slaves living in precarity that they do not give a fuck about. thats what they're goin for, and they're most of the way to it.

Rich people don't like to think, so they can't understand the working class who has to think everyday and why they don't like something that thinks for them, because they can't understand what having your own thoughts is like

Tbh I think they bear as much blame for the current *gestures at everything* as anyone. They basically invented "saying bigoted things then claiming it's a joke when challenged". They claim to be surprised that anyone wants to emulate Cartman, but like, weren't the merch sales a clue?

I do wonder if, maybe upon retirement, Chotiner might release a list of people he tried to interview but who knew better. There's got to be a handful!

If you haven't heard the cover by The Hu, you should go listen. Mongolian Folk Metal and Maiden go together very very well.
