Jokes about the size of meals at fancy restaurants was absolutely a mainstay of elite comedy.
Note that it was successful. Now restaurants look like Apple Stores. A restaurant that looked like the fancy restaurant in the Blues Brothers would be hopelessly low class and chud-coded today.
As Voltaire and Beaumarchais well-knew, comedy is one of the most powerful political weapons.
Yes it was. Its entire purpose was to make everything that happened before it seem ridiculous, and it did so very effectively. Forgotten now because of woke scolds but humor was an extremely effective weapon of the left.
Zemmour talks of the left using the "three D’s": derision, deconstruction, destruction. They mock, they deconstruct, and then they destroy.
Remembering the Roma Holocaust. 🕯️
Ahead of Roma Holocaust Memorial Day on 2 August, we honour the memory of the more than 500,000 Roma murdered during the Holocaust.
We remember. We stand united against antigypsyism.

@SolarLottery89 Ta fotka tabule, kde je křídou napsáno: "Dnes vám v KFC pochutiny nasmaží Pakesh a Visajeet.", opravdu redpillne víc lidí než ty jeho reelska v tílku. Vávra by se měl zaměřit na toto a streamy.
@Bentendeshi There are no arguments for the most part just constant cheap quips and vitriolic attacks to accounts like BAP et al. in an attempt to posture as a truly transgressive rw "intellectual". It's much easier to poke holes than to fix them.
Remember in the Whitest Kids U Know when Homeless Joe threatens a man with a gun, then asks him to hold it and the man points it at him and says "now suck my dick?" Because that scene lives rent-free in my brain, it's a suck a dick or get sucked off world out there.
remember in the handmaid's tale when they escape to chicago and find a group of rebels but the rebel men are like "you can't stay here unless you blow us" ? bc that scene lives rent-free in my brain, like oh sorry, you can't escape men.
If you have an anime pfp you literally can’t talk shit on absolutely anything….. ever
Like, Just be a calm chill faggot like you have chosen to publicly proclaim yourself to be,
Stfu and sit down.
No one is taking you seriously, so just be chill girl damn.
Notice how Rocco Siffredi is still a cultural icon almost 20 years later, people endlessly quote lines from him, whereas Mandingo has been completely forgotten
Notice how The Sopranos is still a cultural icon almost 20 years later, people endlessly quote lines from it, whereas The Wire has been completely forgotten
How someone reacts to this or that "text" is "in aesthetics," or to put it in non-minionese, there's already an entire theoretical branch of aesthetics focusing on that.
your critique of ai cannot be entrenched in aesthetics because there will be a time when you see an ai image or hear an ai song and think "that looks/sounds good". your critique of ai must always be entrenched in the poisonous effect it has on people's brains and the planet.
Strawman arguments from an intellectually dishonest Social Democrat.
The focus of prison abolition is prevention through dismantling the structures that materially encourage crime, and then working one on one to rehabilitate people whose drive to violence was innate.
