The new season of HoC is even worse than the last, some-loving-how.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:"The Dirtbag Left have become the cutting-edge of the ruling ideology; the spearhead of the establishment’s ongoing effort to mitigate the damage done by the counterculturalists. They become the primary organ of control, the filter through which alt-right ideas are presented to a wider, more polite audience in order to dissipate their radicalism"? madness. pure madness there's nothing less cool than thinking right wing contrarianism is punk rock it wasn't edgy in the 70s when it was at least a novel idea and it isn't edgy now

The idea that self-identified leftists don't really believe in that ideology, and that they're simply adopting its trappings in order to look edgy and cool, is pretty ridiculous coming from the ideology of people who """ironically""" post nazi worship material on 4chan

Matt Zerella posted:I get the Newsroom/TWW hate but aside from maybe some questionable writing, does HoC really fall into the liberal lanyard worship debate club bullshit? I think so, because it's the counterweight to TWW/Newsroom's politics of respectability. HoC shows politicians (well, one politician at least) as these 12-moves-ahead masterminds that know how to say the right things and pull the strings to get stuff done. Unlike in real life where it's Jim from Mississippi who got voted in 30 years ago for being racist, never has to campaign because he's got an R next to his name, doesn't do anything except follow the party line, and can kick back in lobbyist money until he gets caught in an airport bathroom and is unceremoniously booted. House of Cards is Game of Thrones + The West Wing, so there's your answer.

I kind of wish they'd do an episode devoted to The Thick of It. They already had one episode opening be a monologue from that show. And it's basically the anti West Wing in that basically everyone on it is overly ambitious, self-centered incompetent.

One time there was a steam sale where I bought dark siders 2 because I confused with dark souls 2. What I'm saying is that probably accounts for half of jacobite's subscriptions

Jonas Albrecht posted:Okay real talk, can anyone actually parse this? It's like trying to read graffiti from a moving car. Chapo is fake-radical, because they use their real names and faces. Alt-right nazis are the real radicals, because they use anime avatars & fake names on twitter, and their lives would be ruined if anyone found out who they are offline. That fat, crying nazi firefighter is the true spirit of revolution

I was initially excited about HoC because I'd love to watch a show about backstabbing in Congress but then they had to gently caress it up and make it about the White House like a billion other dumb shows. I was also excited at the initial crawl in The Phantom Menace when it sounded like we were going to get some trade negotiation action so....

Worse, he's one of the video producers. That place would have gotten so much better had they dropped the "We at Cracked..." byline they used on quite a bunch of articles, which gives it kind of a monolithic view despite a good part of those pieces being just verticals and blogs and listicles unceremoniously dumped (Which is now a bigger nowadays with more articles just listing stuff they had on the shop, but at least now they have way more quality control given they'd outright have vile poo poo sneaked on said articles).
