Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.

so its replacing one lovely awful theocratic oligarchy thing with a autocracy run by a "social progressive" rich technocrat who quotes enough "woke and stylish" poo poo to get a pass from libs so he can push the middle east into deeper conflicts and kill more kids with Yemen with our help so he can jerk off to some lovely musical about a dead rear end in a top hat. good and cool.

Anyone remember the scene in Hamilton when he strings up John Adams and tortures him??

MBS could have started his path to redemption if did this to Friedman.

i mean thats loving horrifying but arnt most of his victims rich royal dumbshits who do awful poo poo and get away with it or rich poo poo gently caress salafists who have been funding horrors accros the world. seems like they are getting what they deserve. that being said. JESUS gently caress. shits loving scary. worse part is it wouldn't surprise me if trump was directly involved with this poo poo.

the problem with the hamilton soundtrack is lin manuel isn't actually a very good singer, and literally every show he's ever written and starred in improves dramatically when someone else takes over the lead. the show is really great if you can actually get to see a production of it. it's quiet uptown is like 100x better with the new guy

i guess. i tried listning to it and it just felt like bad edutainment music. i guess its not my style. hell i dont even hate Hamilton himself that much( i dislike jefferson alot though for a ton of reasons) but he isnt the best magic founder god by country mile. he is interesting though.

my posts are as bad the Current Releases review of Gone Girl

really, the biggest failure of Hamilton as a work is that it's a hip-hop retelling of early american history without a single song that involves Benjamin Frankin, the original american fuckman

The only exposure to Hamilton I have is from the Hellsing Ultimate Abridged parody song about a fanatical Irish Catholic priest injected with nanomachines

I consider this better than actually watching the loving thing
