They're claiming all wars as theirs, because war is good and necessary when the US does it, and because they don't actually care about soldiers, just the big mascot named ARE TROOPS, who is constantly suffering in endless pain and homeless, but also doesn't actually need any help unless there's a chance that a minority might otherwise receive that help. So they'll be claiming WW2, Vietnam, and the Bush & Trump years of Iraq and Afghanistan.

Heroes died because Barack Hussein Obama let those planes hit the towers and then started a war that I opposed right from the beginning but also Saddam was directly involved with training Osama bin Laden which is why Reagan had to kill both of them.

Not even just that, they're claiming that getting hurt doing something they consider noble is more legitimate than having a mental illness. The guy that posted it was your typical Greek bust avatar "philosopher" on Twitter but it comes off sounding like it was written by a think tank of boomers tossing ideas into a "our side good" box and "their side bad" box.

I'm sure that going to war never gave anyone crippling anxiety or other mental illness, otherwise that would be even more confusing!

They did make Blazing Saddles today. It's called The Boys. And even though the show is antifascist and as anticapitalist as a major corporate project is allowed to be, the chuds think it belongs to them because it goes after rainbow capitalism

Memes floating around about how "it couldn't be made today" and "everyone's too afraid of offense," etc. They don't understand anything about what it was in service to. Or anything else about the movie. Yeah, the execs were a hell of a lot more frightened of "It's twoo! Oh, it's TWOO!" than any of the n-bombs dropped in that movie.

Blazing Saddles absolutely couldn't be made today, what the heck are you even thinking? Like, 90% of the cast is dead. If it were made today it'd probably be pretty boring.

My favorite Blazing Saddles line is "Qualifications?". "Rape, arson, murder and rape". "You said rape twice". "I like rape!". Not a good one to bust out in public with an unaware audience though

You can almost divide the whole genre into before and after (and I've seen critics who do that.) There have been genre parodies more vicious in various media, but anything that had the same sort of public resonance? I can't think of anything.

You can tell what they really think of the troops because there's a line in there about PTSD: more like millennial soldiers are just crybabies. Same generation getting blowed up by WMDs in Iraq, wait so are we manly men or not. It's both. When we're dying in war we're good and noble, when we have the gall to survive and come home broken we're disgusting leeches and a burden on the state.

That is a pretty funny checklist since the media holds water for them on every topic. There was a video I saw on her of someone explaining why Blazing Saddles could never be made today and he laid it down as: 1) conservatives would throw a poo poo fit about the movie because it makes white people look extremely stupid, racist and hateful (see how conservatives pitched a poo poo fit over the movie, The Hunt which was pulled from theaters) 2) it does not need to be remade or anything like that because it is the perfect send up of a movie genre that is no longer popular.

Like, within a horror/thriller framing, making the conservatives the protagonists? You'd think the messaging would be right up their alley if they had any sort of media comprehension skills.

One of the most iconic jokes in that movie is Gene Wilder calling racist rural southern whites morons. Conservatives would explode if that movie came out today. Now I'm wondering what conservatives said about Blazing Saddles at the time, they must have been big mad about it then too.

Yes, but replace “evil Ivory Tower Coastal Elites” with just “wealthy capitalists”. I think they were upset about everyday average people being hunted but they were more so about wealthy people being maligned. Maybe they thought that it would be a way to get Marxist thought into the brains of everyday people.

Democrat Elites hunting Republican voters, basically. There were so many funny little bits, like when one chud is bragging about owning ten guns and the convenience store clerk is like "why do you need to own ten guns?" followed by tense violin music. Or the boomer chud that went on and on about patriotism and loyalty but turns on the protagonist the second he thinks it'll help him survive. But probably the biggest twist, and the reason Gilpins character survives, is because it turns out she has the exact same name as another conservative lady in the same town and they kidnapped the wrong one by mistake. So instead of some dumb MAGA lady they end up with PTSD riddled Lady Rambo

Me, a man in his late thirties, who wants to use logic to reason with Boomers who conflate Millennials and Gen Z: "Okay, remember when you were in your late 30's?? Did you have a lot of commonalities with 19 year olds?" It doesn't work. And it should work! Because when awful Boomers were our age grunge and Genx and Nirvana and all that was happening and they definitely weren't a part of that.
