I was gonna pull a quote to sneer at how much capitalism and hustle culture have poisoned this guy, but holy fuck that kept getting so much worse the more I read. he’s in the hospital with such severe burns from a stupid stunt he did for a scam that he needs a strong opioid cocktail to function, but capitalism has hijacked so much of his brain he’s going to go straight back to it as soon as he’s out of the hospital
this is the kind of shit you’d see in an absurdist dark comedy and go “yeah the filmmaker’s right, these are the consequences of a world where capitalism has gone too far and twisted us into something unrecognizable and self-destructive” but it’s here, we’re the absurdist dark comedy and these are the consequences
fuck it, I’m gonna go rewatch The Lobster

The Lobster
I am surprised I never heard of this film. Sounds like my kind of thing, going go watch it later today. Thanks!
no problem! it’s much more dark than comedic in a lot of parts, but it’s excellent overall.

I want to feel bad for this guy, but I just can’t do it.
The terms “degenerate” or “regressive” are somewhat overused, but this is a true example of modern degeneracy. If the word means something, it is exactly this.
