Posters like these, and their Hillarymen allies, constitute an axis of evil, typing to threaten the peace of the forum. By seeking trolling of mass disruption, these posters pose a grave and growing danger.

Why are leftists so mad at Hamilton

The anger is like a left wing version of clock boy

It's

a) a cultural phenomenon
b) idolizing a Founder
c) which you have to pay ridiculous sums of money to see and they haven't just taped a performance and put it on Netflix yet for some dumb reason, and
d) which a lot of the same kind of people who can't shut up about Harry Potter (SEE: white people on the Internet) became completely obsessed with and can't shut up about

seems like a pretty straightforward thing :shrug:

A lot of the subtext of the play itself reads like it'd get Miranda banned in D&D for primary salt -- the protagonist is all about ~*~principle and nothing more~*~ and the primary antagonist is an empty-suit politician who pretty much only wants power, which I thought was extremely on-the-nose back during the actual primary -- but the average Internet person gushing about Hamilton doesn't pick up on that stuff.

Her running again would shatter the centrist candidates in the primaries and be a huge boon to the left.

i've listened to a few songs from hamilton and its very simplistic, corny rap music. there's nothing wrong with that, and arguably it is ideal for the chosen format but that don't make it any more appealing to me

The concept of a rap musical about the most hipster-obscure founding father is the dorkiest thing I can think of, and also it doesn't have Ben Franklin in it which is a big mistake, but Lin-Manuel Miranda did play D&D with the McElroy brothers which is cool

This is the best of roast of Hamilton

quote:

In that respect, Hamilton probably is the “musical of the Obama era,” as The New Yorker called it. Contemporary progressivism has come to mean papering over material inequality with representational diversity. The president will continue to expand the national security state at the same rate as his predecessor, but at least he will be black. Predatory lending will drain the wealth from African American communities, but the board of Goldman Sachs will have several black members. Inequality will be rampant and worsening, but the 1% will at least “look like America.” The actual racial injustices of our time will continue unabated, but the power structure will be diversified so that nobody feels quite so bad about it. Hamilton is simply this tendency’s cultural-historical equivalent; instead of worrying ourselves about the brutal origins of the American state, and the lasting economic effects of those early inequities, we can simply turn the Founding Fathers black and enjoy the show.

Kings George I and II of England could barely speak intelligible English and spent more time dealing with their own failed sons than ruling the Empire —but they gave patronage to Handel. Ludwig II of Bavaria was believed to be insane and went into debt compulsively building castles — but he gave patronage to Wagner. Barack Obama deported more immigrants than any other president and expanded the drone program in order to kill almost 3,500 people — but he gave patronage to a neoliberal nerdcore musical. God bless this great land.

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.
