And @TheImportantFart's Anthony Bourdain quote is depressingly relevant.

This logic can so easily be flipped around to apply to Bob's team:

"This is the BIG FUCKING PROBLEM with progressivism. No, I will not fucking hug someone who would rather my race went extinct, thinks I should be punched for having opinions to the right of Lenin, wants to deprive me of the basic civil liberties of free speech and free expression and wants to pump kids full of life-altering drugs that will render them god damn sterile."

See how easy that was?

But that's the difference between me and them - I would actually be perfectly happy to hug a progressive, have a beer with them, agree to disagree on some issues and call it a day. Because I recognise that people I disagree with politically are still human fucking beings and that we probably have more in common than not and that the only way to get through life and retain any kind of sanity is to find common ground wherever you can. And I can guarantee that if you look hard enough you'll find more of it than you thought you would.

Oh how silly of me, I'm forgetting that I'm on page 1,413 of a thread dedicated to a man who will obviously never learn his fucking lesson (as demonstrated by this massive thread chronicling his behaviour) and that trying to point out the downsides of living in an authoritarian echo chamber is a massive waste of time.
 
I am seriously starting to wonder if Bob has ever seen Idiocracy. I mention this while Bob would initially think it is a jab against "Wasteland Ghouls" it would be clearly obvious within 20 minutes that it is taking a massive shit on the superior future.
Somehow I don't get the feeling he ever did. Otherwise, he would have incorporated it into more than a few Twitter rants about the superior future if it was left in the hands of the Trump voting ghouls.
 
I recently got banned from twitter and logged into an old alt account.
I was delighted at the chance to start reading Bob's insane tweets again after he blocked me several years ago.
Last time it took me a good 2 years and me making fun of his dead grandmother and diabetes in one tweet to get blocked by him.
This time it only took one day.
He blocked me because I told him that a cartoon he retweeted was made by a guy who won 2nd place in a holocaust denial cartoon making contest in Iran (it was Carlos Latuff).

It's especially amazing because King has been a super-salty cunt on politics for a long time -- well before Trump; he pulled a lot of dumb shit during the Bush II years.

King really is essentially a successful version of Bob. Honestly, King had a couple of things go right in his life that Bob didn't that led him to the path to fame and fortune. He's an angry, smug weirdo who is likely on the spectrum and who spends his entire day on social media. Except where Bob is having his mentally-re.tarded brain rot away from diabetes, King had his mentally-ill brain rot away from crack and painkiller abuse.

Look, King has pissed in my cornflakes regularly for years (though he'll never top the way he shit the bed with The Dark Tower), but come on. He's possibly the most successful American novelist who ever lived, and his success has spanned five decades and will probably go into a sixth if he doesn't croak in the next two years (and God only knows how much unpublished material we'll see after he goes). He's married with grandchildren. He beat back numerous addictions and survived getting smashed to hamburger by a truck and managed to survive without collapsing back into addiction.

He's obnoxious on Twitter, sure, but no more so than your hippie grampa who never outgrew Woodstock and melted his brain with drugs in the 80s, and now confuses MS-13 with AR-15s.

One of these men wrote The Stand, The Shining, The Dead Zone, and Night Shift.

The other wrote Brick by Brick. Let's be real.
 
I've been reading The Vision of the Anointed by Thomas Sowell, and I can't help but think of Bob when reading it. Sowell's description in the tome about the titular intellectuals is one that corresponds greatly to what we've seen of Footless Franco:
  • Prioritizing the demands of a select few "experts" to guide policy rather than policy being drafted democratically
  • Belief that human nature can be improved upon through social engineering, rather than mitigated and controlled through incentives
  • Characterizing anyone who opposes their vision as immoral
Hooray, now directors can be just as indistinct as they were back in the day!

It's almost as if his mindset towards globalization has infected his mindset towards cinema: everything becomes one big, amorphous mass without a shred of uniqueness or distinct character to its credit.

Disgusting. I can't have my bad movies and foreign flicks if everything is just a gray blob, and the same thing goes for culture. I don't want to travel 800 miles for the same thing I can get at home. It's basically going to New York City on vacation and all you eat is fucking McDonald's.

I see your point and stand corrected. I should of worded it differently: King has similarities to Bob with how he acts on social media. But he's as far away from Bob with everything else.

You want to read another Sowell book that will have plenty of parallels to Bob? Read Intellectuals and Society. He goes into the concept of people who are nothing more than "idea men", and deconstructs not only the traits of these people but also the effect they have on society. Reading it now, it's almost as if Sowell was writing a book on Bob himself.
