I feel like I read somewhere on Hexbear that the form that the decay of empire will take from within the beast's belly is, like, ideologically incoherent nimrods committing random acts of violence against the ruling class... I wonder how the person who wrote that feels now!

It's disappointing to find out that this once-enigmatic figure with all the trappings of a folk hero, who had so many people mesmerized for days with his apparent charisma and the catharsis he provided, is... Well, this chump. I almost want to say that this is "not canon"!

The enigma was central to the folk hero aspect. Not having any details on the guy made it easy to project our frustrations onto him. It was kind of inevitable that him becoming an actual person would break the spell.

I'm pretty sure I've expressed similar sentiments to this before on here, but I won't claim to be the originator of it. I'm pretty sure it comes from Christman's analysis.

I have never believed in any kind of coherent anti-establishment political movement willing to actively commit effective violence coming out of the U.S. any time soon.

Not with that attitude!

The best one could hope for is a movement for separatism from the US (and thus... not really the US....)

Minnesota changed its state flag to something actually distinctive as a subtle first step to secession, mark my words

Look all I know is that there will be a huge turf war for the UP if stuff starts to break up in the Upper Midwest. And I would bet the lines in the UP will essentially be drawn between Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packer fans, because the culture is very silly up there.

Minnesota gives the Northwest Angle to Canada in exchange for military support in nabbing Isle Royale from Michigan

His going to be a folk hero for many. Just not you

ideologically incoherent nimrods committing random acts of violence against the ruling class.

when the ruling class is so desperately grasping for power they keep doing stochastic terrorism against themselves

maybe we overestimate their class consciousness? /hj

[-] Dimmer06@hexbear.net 9 points 1 week ago

It will happen against the ruling class more but only because random acts of violence will be happening more generally.

Yeah if this is the guy, it really shows that there's a deep resentment for the ruling class among all political affiliations. Some of them are extremely confused and have a bunch of really bad and backwards ideas, but underneath their confusion is someone who has lots of potential.

Just gotta purge the brain worms.

This is a reminder to never post under your real name online, lest you be outed as cringe when you do one cool thing

I'm only ever posting on collective accounts or accounts named after celebrities like my good friends GayTuckerCarlson and Robert_Kennedy_Jr.

I'm merely a vessel. The real poster is the worm that lives inside my brain.

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 51 points 1 week ago

Reminder that in The Beekeper Jason Statham plays a guy whose whole thing is bees and he's a member of a secret society called Beekeepers, but none of the other beekeepers are all about bees, so that's not a Beekeeper thing, but just something Jason Stathams character does.

So like a Freemason who has a masonry hobby on the side?

[-] Bureaucrat@hexbear.net 29 points 1 week ago

More like a Freemason who calls himself The Mason and his job is masonry and his hobby is also masonry and his wife is an actual brick

The fact that even terminally online, right wing tech bros think the U.S. healthcare system is immoral speaks volumes.

The Lindy Way of Living

A technology lawyer named Paul Skallas argues we should be gleaning more wisdom from antiquity.

Female circumcision? Lindy.
Conflating astronomical events with doom? Lindy.
Patriarchy? Lindy.

This ridiculous paleo-lite view of the world, where you pick and choose from history with no real criteria, really needs to go. I don’t understand the value of pretending that ancient times were glorious, when the life expectancy was under 40 and most people were illiterate and died from maladies of the teeth. Or violence.

Everything he’s wearing in his picture? Not Lindy.

the beekeeper unironically rocked, it was like the matrix but without any of the philosophy and just the dumb action shit and world building, the villain was hunter biden, and the bee puns and bee themed villains were actually hilarious

my favorite moment of the movie by far is when

spoilerthey reveal there's a fucking John Wick organization of bee themed assassins that Jason Statham went rogue from complete with DOS computers with beecomb themed UIs, and when the villain asks them to stop Statham, they send exactly one bee-themed assassin after him, who Statham promptly blows up at a gas station. The beekeeper assassin organization then shrugs and goes "we tried lol" and then is never seen again for the rest of the movie. I would also mention how fucking abrupt and hilarious the ending is but honestly if you're reading this and haven't seen it go watch it it's peak bee kino

[-] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

I'm a half hour in now. It's hilarious. Hitting all the notes. Statham has kind of fallen off though. I expected more from him. Feels like he's a generic stand in tbh.

lmao, I just got to the beekeeper, beekeeper part.

edit: Great watch. So over the top that it's practically parody.

[-] Esoteir@hexbear.net 6 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

we're deffo not still in statham's crank era but the scene where he stares at the audience to monologue at us about how scamming the elderly is bad for five minutes, and "i think I'll take to bee" are both peak cinema

Its like a mismash of every sort of "reject modernity" take but no coherent alternative.

Like there's one where he retweets a Tucker Carlson rant about post modern archtechture being soul draining, but adds that the cause is clearly just because its cheaper.

[-] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago

I still fall in the cautiously skeptical camp about this being our guy but this is definitely one way to square up all the contradictions for sure.
