‘Good Shepherd’ S06E20, it’s just a cameo appearance though.

I wonder if the message is about Rage Against the Machine and how conservatives always misunderstand the lyrics because they have zero media literacy.

It's a "misunderstood the message" in the opposite direction. He wrote angry songs about how the establishment is evil, and pro-establishment people thought they were angry songs about how people trying to change the establishment were evil.

Right wingers are too dumb to have media literacy and tend to love RATM. I do agree just a photo of him was probably the most confusing way to convey that message though.

Tom Morello, took offense to the fact that Mitt Romney’s choice for vice-president, Paul Ryan, cited Rage as his favorite band

Guitar strings.

I mean, that's often the same thing.

Yeah, it hits hard when Lucy Paraons says it because she was widowed for her husband's opposition to the dictatorship of capital. When I was hungry and sleeping in my car I needed secure housing where I could do my homework and consistent access to food, not a gun. And plenty of homeless people would just hurt themselves or each other if armed.

Let every dirty, lousy tramp arm himself with a revolver or a knife, and lay in wait on the steps of the palaces of the rich and stab or shoot the owners as they come out. Let us kill them without mercy, and let it be a war of extermination.

Rorschach is basically the Punisher - it's only luck that he likes to kill and torture "bad people", and he shows himself that he's pretty flexible on the definition of "bad".

Bojack is a great show because it highlights so many forms of depression and destructive behavior. Everyone in that show has problems, even Mr Peanutbutter, who I think importantly shows you can be a flawed person while most people love you and you're usually happy.

Seeing Bojack act out in so many destructive ways gave me an objective view of a lot of behaviors in myself and it led to me getting help for my major depression. I lead a very different life today thanks to the realistic depictions of broken characters in that show.

Which is a huge shame, because doing what you want without much worry about consequences is actually super doable WHILE still caring about other people

Yeah true, and I think that makes him more authentic tbh. When I worked with domestic violence situations the perpetrators often hit the same vibe, super charismatic and many people around would second guess claims against them. but underneath they had serious anger issues that made them increasingly assholes and eventually straight up dangerous during periods of high stress. The charisma is a cloak that takes a lot of effort. That’s what people ignore with the character and irl too, they rationalize it away to try and make sense of caring about a person who is objectively shitty

God I love the sopranos, I wish I had time to rewatch that glorified crew

power corrupts. as he amasses more power in the criminal underworld he believes himself to be better than the people around him, that he can change the corrupt system from the inside. it's not until hank dies that he actually realises what he's been doing, but at that point it's already too late.

...and then the season 6 finale ruined the point.

Walt was on an ego trip the entire time - the money was an excuse but the feeling of being in power and in control was always the real reason for his actions. Remember that he torched some guy's car and turned down a generous job offer for personal, functionally petty reasons before he'd started cooking. You could argue that the offer was patronizing, but if his concern was really about taking care of his family instead of wanting to feel like he was the big guy in charge of things would he really have said no?

White's whole thing was that he wanted power, not just money.

There were several hints, but they weren't super obvious and I don't think I caught many of them until rewatching the show.

Bojack isn't just depressed. He's almost certainly got CPTSD, possibly with a personality disorder (HPD feels right but I haven't watched since the finale was new). His life sucks because he keeps giving in to his worse instincts and desires.

Hrs very relatable as someone who struggles with CPTSD, and had to learn how to do healthy and responsible things instead of just whatever my brain says.

But fundamentally as a character he represents the failure state of managing trauma. He keeps trying and he keeps failing harder and harder, but never seeks the real help he needs or learns to have a setback without spiraling out of control and hurting someone else, usually pretty bad. Hell, he keeps thinking that dependants will make him better and then damages them because of course they won't.

I mean, spacenoid rights, which is what Zeon Diekun preached, was not the same as the as the Principality of Zeon, which is the Zabi Family dictatorship, and the ones that gassed and dropped a colony.

Aside from the fact that the Empire did nothing wrong and brought peace to a galaxy living under the constant threat of the Jedi that casually kidnapped children to indoctrinate, not to mention tried to assassinate a democratically elected chancellor when things didn't go to their liking.

I think this is the first time I've seen someone regularly write "than" when it's actually supposed to be "then". Normally it's always the other way around.

I am quoting the books with cunning and ambitious. It also mentions resourcefulness.

It's just that the author is not that good with her craft and she made them Evil, shallow house in practice.

Or maybe it's the other way, and she did that on purpose, so that the early children book has visible low stake antagonist Malfoy, who does not really matter compared to BBEG.

hufflepuff definitely the stoner house. Entrance even located right by the kitchen

I thought about it. But low ceiling and the fact they are described as basically background noise made me uninterested ultimately. :-)

Might as well get a swastika tattoo.

Yeah, that's why I mentioned the only notable character with positive attributes.
