This one! It's one of the only things they have faved on their soundcloud account. This isn't to say Chapo or whatever caused it, but more that they managed to gather a large ideological umbrella that resembles a raindrop equation that more or less agrees on general, but you end with the occasional stuff that gets people talking about red-brown alliances and what not.

I used to think your incoherence was a language thing but I'm starting to think maybe you have kahinabrain.

What, acknowledging that their approach is "hey we happen to engage a lot of otherwise non politically committed types of all sorts on a general banner leaning towards a left of some sort" warrants me shares on Playboy revenue?

People just want you to 1) have some awareness that your perspective is almost always very alien to others in the thread 2) following on that, write comprehensible posts instead of like three seemingly disconnected thoughts

Like what is a raindrop equation in lay terms, where's the other half of the clause that we "end with", who is talking about red-brown alliances?

or just stop posting

e: one other thing that has to be said is that Felix doesn't have to do anything to "attract" a follower. He is very funny, has 126,000 followers, and twitter shows not just retweets but also likes and even "this person you follow follows this other person" to everyone now. It's universe brain to attribute any follower to CHUD-whispering almost no matter what action the follower took

On the sense that they do attract a somewhat disparate distribution of people of different ideologies around the left to right spectrum, not necessarily coherent or continuous.

Usually when they say stuff that attracts a not necessarily a left crowd, there's accusations of Strasserism and of being a part of a Red Brown alliance, if the occasional post about Noah Berlatsky is of any indication.

With Felix, when I say that, it is not saying he panders to a crowd here and there, but that when he talks about in a more serious tone and about being young and online, his words are usually more kind towards those on the fringe of society, which appeals in a similar way as to what Contrapoints 's shtick usually is.

Deckard being a replicant is a stupid idea.

Blade Runner 2049 was pure trash that fundamentally misunderstood the original on a level I didn’t think was possible. Making Deckerd into this legendary figure rather than just a blip is so lame and predictable. Also doing the the tired your daughter is the key to the revolution nonsense. Deckard was never a hero and he probably did more harm than good in the original. The one interesting part of the movie was the digital girlfriend stuff but it didn’t really end up going anywhere. Honestly ford shouldn’t have been in the film at all.

Villeneuve reminds me a lot of Nolan as a director where he knows how to technically shoot a movie but can’t tell a half compelling story to save his life.

nolan is an actual worthless hack. he intentionally makes most of the dialogue unintelligible because he says he cares more about the texture and tone of the film or some stupid bullshit like that. arrival told an incredibly compelling story. comparing villeneuve to nolan is ridiculous

True. Also that episode was great just because they got David Hayter (the voice of Solid Snake) on to talk about the movie.

they should do a cut of br2049 that removes 30-50 minutes of ryan gosling's face closeups. that would turn it into a good-looking, if kinda pedestrian, flick

If you pretend it is an anthology of shorts and ignore the overarching plot the individual elements are all much better.

Someone should edit in a frame story.

I could see that because yeah the movie does kind of feel that way. Making the second half about Deckard kind of kills the movie for me though. Truly I don’t think they needed to come back to that character at all.

Completely correct, except that the digital girlfriend thing did go somewhere, it ended with the replicant women smashing the data stick and asking if he enjoyed their product which was a hamfisted way of making sure the audience knew exactly what they were trying to say with that whole subplot. Amateur bullshit.

As if trapping Ford in a literal museum of nostalgia wasn’t enough.

It was a beautiful movie that was poorly written and forty minutes too long. And neither movie understands anything about PKD though one of the cuts of the original gets close by accident.
