619 - Terrence Malick Voters (4/14/22)

murt pie

Don't watch the movie, it's tedious pabulum.

Kevin C

Hes a avant garde film director that makes kinda pretentious movies film critics love or despise

etienne

dont have time for any of that

perhaps you should watch the movie lol. Or even read the entire wikipedia summary

etienne

you have a theory? The wikipedia says "The film chronicles the origins and meaning of life by way of a middle-aged man's childhood memories of his family living in 1950s Texas, interspersed with imagery of the origins of the known universe and the inception of life on Earth." which does sound like it supports my thesis that the movie reference is about boomers who wish they'd live back when things were *simple*, right?

Jameson .

Pull your head out your ass, look at the statistics, and realize that this is the same bullshit every time the liberals are in control.

Hector Jaime

You got it mack

b3nnyD

Please get a hobby

Christopher Price

Lol no

Mitch H.

More minions memes than you thought theoretically possible.

etienne

far as I can tell it's Felix and his obsession with movies by/for old people that are uncomplicated and comforting and moralistic

Someone needs a suppository

Logan

Yo who is Terrence Malick and what does he or The Tree of Life have to do with this episode? (I'm dumb as shit sorry bout that 😑)

No crime isn't drastically up. Stop with the cop propaganda you boot licker

Hector Jaime

Great episode! People walking past me must have thought I’m insane; I was laughing the whole time. I will comment on this, because I don’t think the chapo boys really have any experience spending holidays with conservative family members. Yes, before the internet you weren’t supposed to bring up politics in mixed company. But, people will say things that they don’t think of as “political”. And so a convo pre or post social media would always go something like “man, if only we’d stop letting in those illegals.” “Well, there’s an issue with immigration policy and NAFT—“ “WE DON’T TALK ABOUT POLITICS!”

love you guys but stfu about crime rates being static. you spoiled hipster fuckers live in Manhattan and Brooklyn, like playground of the rich. You guys are totaly unqualified toneven anecdotally comment on crime other than like Anna Delvy. While you pigs have been living it up during COVID everything has gone to shit. Fentanyl, shitty pointless jobs, and a really peculiar wave of super liberal pussified DA's have left many cities in this country, especially on the West Coast, ironically living in escape from new york mode. The dems have unknowingly created the riggts paranoid fantastical hellscape thus justifying their facists wet dreams. You guys can talk out of your asses but be mindful we dont all live in a converted Crown Heights work space or some such shit

Affirmative Action, etc. which were efforts meant to "level the playing field" for minority groups initially started in the late 60s/early 70s and got heavily underway in the late 70s/early 80s which coincided with the beggining of major offshoring, cuts to public school education, gutting of the social safety net, etc....you can't have diversity hires at a plant if the plant no longer exists. In terms of books, etc. I would check out some of Cornell West's works

Tree of Life was cringe, couldnt watch the whole thing.

David Cox

The book "Lockdown America: Police and Prisons in the Age of Crisis" by Christian Parenti is pretty good on this subject.

TangiePower

Classic Chapo

Wyatt

Also does anyone have any articles or books on what Matt was talking about at the end, of the civil rights era coinciding with a stronger limitation of social mobility?

Wyatt

I do love how the conservative lads have so deeply internalized the “wokeness” that they claim to hate that they’ll never not be mad

Steve D

That 32 person WhatsApp chat has to be an absolute sewer.

etienne

i really enjoy that all those guy's complains is that they have to make somewhat of an effort not to piss off everyone at their job. like yeah i get it that it's hard to spend a full 7 hour at the excel factory and not say the n word out loud, even once, but usually i can pull it off just fine

Jc

i call dibs on being the bay area not all men i love infinite jest guy

The fact that wills imaginary hyena matriarch has only a six inch clitoris is very telling
