The key to understanding the WWE thing is that the fans are, well, poor. And also the fans are not nearly as white as the ownership, obviously.

Edit: y'all remember Daniel Bryan's incredible face run where he was essentially Occupy? Like, they even ran an Occupy RAW angle.

Hold up

You can't tell the difference between red and black? You may be colorblind, and I don't mean this in a derogatory manner, a lot of people don't find out they're colorblind until a situation like this crops up.

when I lean back and unfocus my eyes, it feels more like "nightmare horror demon" than "minstrel show", but A) I imagine a gentleman of color is more sensitive to the latter than I am, and B) the former probably also isn't his top choice for branding

part of Baghdadi's origin story iirc is that he looked around at people having fun, thought to himself "that just won't do", and went to the most horribly reactionary Islamic seminary he could find

I don't know if this is true, but the story is similar to Sayyid Qutb, who's basically the grandfather of Al'Qaeda.

I think I'm remembering his explicit origin story from surprisingly-high-production-value Daesh publications, but I could be wrong. It's been years.

and yes, there's a certain similarity between traditional family values shitheads everywhere, all the time, forever

Take a look at the shirt. The mouth is a smile. The teeth are his name. Everything else is black.

Now imagine a person who is African American, otherwise featureless because of their skin, save for their teeth and eyes. And now you see the context for the shirt.

It is racist as poo poo.

To illustrate:

I repeat, it's racist as poo poo.

the edges of the red bits are pretty pointy on the shirt, imo it's more "the black man will eat you, and eat your children" than "the black man is jolly in an unsettling way and will haunt your dreams"

Don't worry, the brainworms seized the image of himself getting booed and stimulated alternate ganglia, so that in his mind the boos were shouted to a picture of Schiff, Biden and Pelosi

Unfortunately enough of the real image got through to the rest of his prion-ravaged cerebellum that it invoked a pained frown in response

Woo, our hated president that doesn't even like baseball was booed at the world series and looked upset about it.

He doesn't even care about the game, remember him beating his son up over wearing a jersey to a Yankees game?

Schadenfreude is great to fill pages on a Sunday night I guess, and yeah I enjoyed those clips...

But come this morning Donald Trump is still in the White House after getting a stupid weekend win against ISIS. It's time to move on.

Who is getting deposed today/tomorrow?

Edit:
I really love baseball, even if I can't sit through the Ken Burns documentary.

Not gonna lie, while catching up on the thread, I've rewatched every video of Trump getting booed as it comes up. I could watch those all day (and I just might!).

Ice Phisherman posted:

Wrestling is an amazing and unique art form that looks silly on the surface, and it is, but it's unique in the way that it's story is told. It's not fully a soap opera and it's not fully some physical carny wrestling show. It's a fusion of the two and I really, really can't overly stress how much time is a factor in the show when it is not in almost all other media.

Wrestling is fascinating for those who are interested in stories and storytelling.

If you want a long form and honestly, fantastic long form version of what I'm talking about, I'd suggest Supereyepatchwolf's take on the Undertaker and long form storytelling in wrestling. If you're a fan I'd highly recommend him.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHVCTOmQNZM

I cannot recommend EyepatchWolf's channel enough, and his other video on wrestling is also worth a watch (which has a minor focus on Kenny Omega, for anyone who may have recently learned about him thanks to AEW): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQCPj-bGYro

EyepatchWolf's such a handsome boy :allears:
