Libs in general have no understanding that producing food, minerals, and other raw materials (and, come to think of it, the next generation of humans) requires a way of life that they find morally and politically abhorrent. Bob's political views aren't especially stupid for a progressive; he just says the quiet part - that robots will soon make "mayo ghouls" obsolete, and then we have no reason to live - out loud.
Hell, we've started reaching the point Jesus predicted over 2000 years ago in Luke 23:29
For the days are surely coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bore, and the breasts that never nursed.’
I'm just disappointed Jesus didn't predict, "Behold, the days are coming when you will live in the pods, and you will eat the bugs, and thou wilt own nothing, and they will say this will make you happy." Well, maybe that part won't happen?
Bob of course, being smoothbrained, thinks that if humanity was somehow culled down (in Minecraft, of course) to the 2% of the population he thinks has a functioning brain, that 1) he and all his family will be deemed to have 'functioning brains' and thus somehow qualify to remain and 2) It will remain a Utopia, for nobody in the top 2% of SMRT people (as defined by Bob) would dare become right-of-center.
I don’t want to quote some posts but god damn Bob has some asinine takes. Like the fact he made a whole “Kill VANISH THOSE RETHUGLICANS!” because Matt Walsh did a Matt Walsh thing and made a stupid take is really dumb.
The irony is Bob’s opinions on Anime are no different than Walsh’s given Bob likes to make fun of anime fans regularly, calls them all perverts, and associates them with the right like he does with everything he dislikes. Like if a black woman said the same shit Walsh said but called anime sexist, Bob would be fellating her non-existent dick extremely.
Basically Bob just wanted an excuse to go on his usual eugenics tangent.
Also Bob acts like another Henry Cavill Superman movie is a mistake is also dumb. Warner Bros is shitting itself yes but this is one of the few good decisions they made since Henry Cavill was well liked when he got the role and the issue of his Superman was due to the writing behind it and Zack Snyder’s direction.
As a little aside, Bob’s wrong on what the American epic is because we all know it’s the Chris Chan documentary.
Bob's major problem with Henry Cavill, after him starring in Superman movies that Bob absolutely hates and thinks are terrible, is Cavill is a Believer (Catholic), and he allegedly sucks at acting because his range according to bobbo is 'wooden' and 'limited'. I haven't seen the Cavill Superman movies so I can't really judge. Is The Lard of Lynn correct on this point?
I am biased. But I am gonna go with History. If you wanna talk about rent free tweets, him advocating for the re-annexation of Poland is one I share to friends a lot. Like we all know he is a pop culture obsessed buffoon, but he really just cannot help but see the world in a Star Wars like world of good guys and bad guys. Like he is even beyond black and white.
So, he isn't talking about WWE per se. Movies the wrestlers starred in if memory serves. Which is great, because all of these are written literature. And Moviebob comes in, as well as his sycophants, with Movies.
Which, see I had been thinking, man that might be a good route. Like, even Godfather is a good answer. It is quintessentially American in how we act about our culture, in a strange bid for preserving the old world. I think anyway, forgive me, I haven't seen it. And I might be putting too much Goodfellas into it.
But then it occurred to me. Bobby boy here then followed it up with Star Wars. And there's nothing really all that American about Star Wars. And thus we see Moviebob failed the assignment. He didn't realize the prior examples are strong representation of their countries.
To which, my answer tends to be The Great Gatsby. That book is really just America all wrapped up and crystalized. And it's short, which I feel makes the epic requirement, because us Yankees live short lives. But, if you have to be pedantic, then its The Stand. Because I also feel King really just understands Americans. You can't really transplant the books to other countries, because they are steeped so much in American mythology and culture. And I pick the Stand because that even carries a little more American mysticism and views on myth than the average King book. What with the villain being a denim wearing, populist hippy, his side kick poorly managed mental illness victim. And the force of good being led by the most generic man in the world, aided by a retard, and guided by a magical negro. Just peak America.
But Bob is like, uhhh Hollywood! Like the dude doesn't even live in his own country. Or really live, who am I kidding.
I think Bob got caught up in MADE IN AMERICA BY AMERICANS in regards to Star Wars, rather than Star Wars being quintessentially American in its storyline or theme. I mean, by all accounts Star Wars is pretty much a Space Western, which yeah, OK, "American" twice removed, by being a movie with 'cowboys' where some of the cowboys are Space Wizards - it's just the plot of a Western but with an extraterrestrial Sci-Fi setting. Oh, and the main bad guy is also a Space Wizard. So then it treads into fantasy as well. "Rescue the Princess" predates Murrica by several millenia storywise, though.
By lumping Star Wars in with things like The Godfather, Bob seems to not be referring to or considering the setting of the movies themselves, but rather where they were made and by whom. Which is some crayon-eating take for someone who's supposed to be a movie critic. Or maybe he is, but he's just lumping them in together as "American" using broad strokes for convenience.
Ah, that takes me back. I have vague memories of watching the 80s Astro Boy as a toddler and I'm pretty sure that it's the Canadian dub, which mostly lost to the sands of time.
Oh yeah I remember watching Astro Boy on saturday mornings, myself. I forget which channel I was watching it on, though. Might have been channel 13 out of Vancouver (CKVU).
Calling Hillary a bitch, making fun of black people, saying the Israeli Defense Force rocks. I guess Bob can change after all. But in classic Bob fashion, it's for the worse.
Bob manages to contradict himself in the span of 2 tweets. "Political correctness was never real and just made up by whitey to be some insivible boogeyman of oppression. Also here's some examples of people being prevented from doing harmless things to defend another's sensibilities"
So here's the question, was that good or bad, Bob? Because that same shit is happening today and you're all in favour of it. Kanye is getting dragged through the mud for wearing a shirt. Dave Chapelle's comedy shows gets protested. Harry Potter is written by the devil. In the UK people are being arrested by the police for saying naughty words (and some of these start with N too).
So, Bobby, Robbu, Ol' buddy ol' pal. Is that good or bad? It's all the same, no matter who's doing it or what year it is. It's either all ok, or all terrible.
Well Kanye is also getting dragged for talking shit about The Chosen People, but the hypocrisy there is Bleks and others on the Left who are super pro-palestinian talk trash about j00s all the time and they're almost NEVER called out by the Democrats.
