The part where the Fenians are drawing up the constitution of Ireland and they keep putting Polish jokes in it.

An important thing to remember: Disco actually fuckin' ruled and the kind of people who hated it to the point of blowing up records were lovely people.

A lot of the hate came from it being popular among black and gay people.

Let's not revise history. Disco was one of the most overplayed and aggressively, annoyingly dominant music fads of its decade and of all time. There's a reason the '70s are known as the decade of disco, it was so overplayed and so specifically and exclusively formed around its own culture (disco halls, which were literally just dance clubs that exclusively played disco, for instance) that it made itself extremely dislikeable. It also marketed itself as aggressively "counterculture", which made its mainstream dominance even more aggravating because you had a bunch of people rebelling against the system, maaaaaaan being directly associated with the most popular music genre of its day. It would be like if people held up Taylor Swift music as some treatise against the entrenched American oligarchy. Yes, a lot of hatred against disco was because of racism and homophobia, but it was also because it was loving everywhere. For every Earth, Wind, and Fire you had a zillion lovely white dudes with perms using drum machines. Basically disco was the 70s version of EDM or dubstep. It was everywhere, there was a super bothersome and annoying culture around it that held it up as "subverting the paradigm" when in fact it was one of the strongest voices reinforcing it, it was totally and often incorrectly used by people trying to catch onto the latest music fad, its fans were often the absolute worst people ever, and the lovely artists outnumbered the good ones by a lot.

This show is so great. My favorite so far has been The Straw Hat Riot. The line "Why don't we all just stop giving a poo poo?" is the perfect summary of America.

Saw the trailer for Free State of Jones this weekend; I'm pretty sure it shows the baby scene about to happen in the trailer. The first baby scene, not the second. Although that would also be good.
