what I love about this video is he butchers "Feeodoor Dos Ski Oh Ski," but mentions a lesser known book, so he obviously read and was impacted by its content — this is what truly matters in literature, not pronunciation or being the most esoteric hipster of greater Bushwick
it is so cool that this place was basically a medieval fantasy larp by king ludwig ii. building it bankrupted the kingdom of bavaria's royal treasury so bad that his ministers declared him insane and drowned him in a lake and made it look like a suicide (allegedly)
French economist Thomas Piketty to Zack Polanski,
"This neoliberal turn of the 80s has not been a huge success for the middle class and for average living standards"
"The big promise that was made in the 80s by Reagan and Thatcher was, look, we are going to kill off progressive taxation, maybe inequality will rise, but the size of the pie is going to grow so fast like you've never seen."
"Average wages, average income are going to grow like you've never seen. And so everybody will be happy."
"30 years later, 40 years later. When I look at Brexit or when I look at the Trumpist United States, I don't see, very happy people."
"And I think partly because of the failure of this promise and this is why right wing parties in these two countries, the Republican in the US and the Conservative and now Reform Party in Britain, have turned anti migrant toward identity politics because they have not delivered on the economic front and on living standards"
Quand t'es fan de manga et que tu fouilles un peu des trucs obscurs que tes auteurs masculins préférés ont dit ou fait 90% du temps tu découvres qu'ils sont soit racistes soit pédophile soit les deux, et pendant ce temps Fujimoto lui tu découvres qu'il était pro Palestine en 2009
Old film is so fucking cool, you constantly go “how in the world did they do that back then?!”
And then you look it up and they broke safety rules you didn’t even know existed 😭
