Unfortunately the loving main VA for Squidbillies, who genuinely thought he could come for Dolly fuckin Parton. Like I love the show but between that and the David Allan Coe poo poo it’s...it’s fine to just let it go.

Get bashed, platonist!

Count me in as astounded that they're still making Squidbillies. They're not even cancelling it now! They're recasting Early and doing a thirteenth season. From the few minutes of it I watched probably a decade ago, it really struck me as a sort of generic Adult Swim project that would run for a few seasons before making way for the next thing. I am astounded that it's been dragged out to now.

he got shitcanned immediately, for what it's worth.

also, there's a whole loving epidode about the squids being prejudiced against white people, to the point that the son is shocked to learn he's half white.

That might be my dialect loving it up then because bird and word are pronounced the same way. But then dialects also gently caress up trying to describe any sort of pronunciation.

You go not to far from me and there's people who will say bird with the vowel sound from the word "air"

I think he posted it on facebook, based on the screenshots. If he's like most of the old chuddy shitheads, his facebook scroll is probably 99% racist chud qanon crap. Information bubbles are great, until they pop unexpectedly.

Southern white trash don't all fit into the same stereotype you see in media. There are tiers, and rich and educated Southern racists most definitely poo poo on poor Southern racists and call them hicks, rednecks, etc, while also holding pretty much exactly the same worldview as them on anyone who isn't white. Even poor white Southerners poo poo on anyone else who fits the redneck stereotypeore more closely than they do.

Also, most racist assholes haven't accepted how other people see them. They may even think they're perfectly accepting of other races as long as 'those people' don't 'act up' or ever make themselves seen in a way that makes white people uncomfortable.

So it's actually not surprising at all that a racist, conservative rear end in a top hat who hates BLM was part of a show making fun of redneck stereotypes for years and even thought he was in on the joke while being almost indistinguishable from what he parodied.

It's so tempting and easy to look at people like him going "you've all ruined my life over nothing, this is everybody's fault but mine" and just say they're stupid. But there's got to be some systemic reason in social networks like Facebook that lead otherwise logical and intelligent people to believe that they should not expect any kind of consequences for being loud unapologetic shitheads, because it just .. keeps .. happening.

Someday someone's going to figure out what kind of reality distortion field these things project on people and we as a species will be like "Well ... hmm. poo poo. That sure was stupid of us" like how we currently look at using lead in gasoline and paint

I think One More Far Nerd already hit it on the head - it's not much of a mystery. Facebook just unfortunately makes it really, really easy for users to create their own realities, where they can surround themselves with like-minded friends and family, super-biased news sources, and so that it can be a genuine surprise for some folks when their little world suddenly comes crashing down around them and it turns out not everyone is a shithead like them.

They live in communities that agree with them or at least let them be lovely and ignore it, sometimes that's "well hes free to say that..." with zero consequence, sometimes its "dont antagonise the prick, he will leave soon", sometimes its an element of fame. Often its actually people agree with them.

His posts seem to be on Facebook, personal account. He probably has said heaps of poo poo stuff, and as above his people let it pass for whatever reason, but some rando bothered to look.

Watching other people break societal rules/norms and not have any consequences makes people way more comfortable with breaking said rules/norms. Theres been lots of studies on it. Its why theres no such thing as "one bad apple" in a police department.

Dude's feed is almost certainly full of gray haired racists posting the same or worse than that dude did every day, and as far as he knows they've still all got jobs, etc.

Unchecked, social media is absolutely poisonous and any functional future society that retains information age capabilities is going to have far tighter controls on it than we do.
