I’m sorry for sharing the sock’s lovely opinions.

To change the subject completely, has anyone watched Blood Quantum, a First Nations zombie film?

While talking to my increasingly broke-brain high school buddy, I have learned that Communist Justin Trudeau is attempting to usher in Communism to Canada by both listening to the WHO (lead by communist China) to guide our Covid response and ban assault rifles “a fake news term” to make it so we can’t resist communism.

Conclusions: Derek Sloan is a menace to society and I think this pandemic is shifting the far-right’s hatred from Muslims to the Chinese.

I caught him in the middle of a few consecutive correct takes, and was misled to believe he was a correct observer and not a misogynist centrist (who claims to be LGBTQ+ friendly but his nose makes a dogwhistling noise when he talks) who types HOT TAKES for clicks. He is indeed bad.

I saw it at TIFF last year and it's a lot of fun. It's decently gory and has some interesting subtext and, really, overt text about colonialism that elevates it.

The plot and dialogue aren't going to bring home any awards, but it feels like a fresh coat of paint on the genre and really goes for entertainment with a solid message.

the problem is, it's a guy with a sock puppet who used to host a late night tv show on canadian television 25+ years ago. i mean, on any given subject maybe he has a good or a bad take, but it's really hard to get past the 90s sock puppet part.

e: the terminally gen-x "i was progressive in the 90s" attitude probably doesn't help much, but imo it's kinda secondary

It's really excellent and you should also watch Rhymes For Young Ghouls, Barnaby's first film about residential schools.

The guy behind Triumph made thirteen Adam Sandler movies. There might be something to this "don't trust adults who talk poo poo with puppets on their hands" thing.

e: puppets who say nice things are usually on the hands of good people, like Rod Coneybeare, Joe Torbay, Shari Lewis, Nina Keogh, etc etc

Wasn't there a recent book by a Canadian author with a similar premise? I'm not sure if it was zombies specifically but some kind of plague to which only indigenous people were immune, making their blood suddenly highly desirable.

Anyway, the two Key & Peele sketches about the racist zombie apocalypse and colourblind alien invasion are great.

The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimeline. White people lose the ability to dream and all go insane, so they try to synthesize a "cure" by extracting indigenous people's bone marrow.

I don't tend to believe people are just inherently right-wing/racist because I don't think people who were former white nationalists who spend their time de-radicalizing youth are being dishonest, nor are they wasting their time.

But I feel for you Helsing, I had a friend who lived in rural PA go what we'd now describe as alt-right and then lost contact with him about 10 years ago. I think he probably killed himself, sadly.

I feel for ya. I’m reaching out to my contacts who are more what my bud might see as “normies” rather than myself, a “communist”. I’m telling them that if he posts anything with what could be seen as violent imagery, to always call him out. They’re all onboard, which is great because as has been identified the echo-chamber nature of the Internet makes you think your extreme fringe ideas are popular.

I mean dude believed Bernier would win at least a minority government...
