Im glad my instant dislike in you has been validated again and again.
hamilton is meh. its sorta cool idea but its too whitewhashed for its own good plus the rap sucks, it sounds like one of those groups that goes to middle schools and does stupid raps and skits to make "history cool, yo". the chernow book its based on is pretty good though.

There was a Batman musical that was apparently in development years ago and never actually produced. But I guess there were some songs from it that were released.

There are no good musicals except maybe the 1971 version of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory which is a masterpiece and a movie not a play.

Does it count as a musical?

This looks a lot like suffering.
Racism is not a binary thing.

I think one the problems in popular discourse is that some people are aware of massive research projects like Project Implicit that have demonstrated things like unconscious cognitive bias and can see things like bad policy pretty clearly but are not good at articulating to people who are not aware of such research what is going on.

This sort of research shows that almost all of us have cognitive bias against black people to varying degrees, even black people themselves. It's not through any fault of our own it's a function of growing up in a country with historical baggage.


The actual number of raving hate-filled racists is pretty small but a lot of the source of modern racial problems comes from lack of awareness of bias.

EDIT: Here's a link to project implicit you can take tests and stuff to see for yourself. Even the most consciously tolerant people tend to have some level of implicit bias that shows up on the tests.

i checked out d&d a couple of times on friday during the healthcare vote fiasco and a bunch of dorks over there thought it was a great joke when someone posted a hamilton song about not having enough votes or something. i clicked on it and only got like 5 seconds in and it was just like "you. don't. have the votes. you-don't-have-the-votes...ha-haha." and i stopped it there but now i have that dumb poo poo stuck in my head and i hate puerto ricans now i guess.

I'm as annoying as the high-pitched whine of my motorcycle, desperately compensating for the lack of substance in my life.
Hamiliton was such a piece of poo poo. Aaron Burr did nothing wrong. Just look at Hamilton's role in the Whiskey Rebellion and how he manipulated Washington with the whole marching an army against American citizens and putting them under arrest (and/or how Washington was totally okay with it as well)

It turns out America was founded by complete assholes who, over the past two centuries, have slowly been morphed (by an astoundingly stupid populace and a predatory regime) into semi-mythological titans of brilliance and purity. All with the goal of crafting a national psychosis of extreme patriotism. Who knew? :shrug:

It drives me crazy because it's supposed to indicate a broad popular rejection of Trump when in reality it was two hyper-wealthy, coastal metropolitan areas.

I don't even like Trump but I'm tired of the stawmanning.
