Is this relevant and funny nowadays?
No and no.
>>9138823
Yes and yes.
Hey obviously wanted some tight redhead puss

It's a good read. It's relevant in the sense that today's Babbitts pride themselves in not being Babbitts. Pic related.
>>9138823
Not funny.

How did the scientist that made that meme prove they were pretending?
>>9139119
dude's buying into a prepackaged capitalist representation of 'authenticity' , so he is pretending even if he isn't aware of it
>>9138997
So Babbitt is about a hipster (in the 2000s sense)?
It Can't Happen Here was mildly corny middlebrow, but pretty relevant. Unfortunately.
Not funny though.

Locally sourced ingredients are key for a good kitchen and have nothing to do with identity, you insufferable pseud.
>>9139150
locally sourced things exist, you ever been to a farmers market?
Does anyone who does buy locally sourced things, are they automatically inauthentic, automatically pretending?
Or only if they think: I want to buy locally sourced things?
Or only if they think: I want to buy locally sourced things, because I think thats good/better?
Or only if they think: I want to buy locally sourced things because I think there is such thing as """"cool"""" and I want to do/be that?
So now, how do you differentiate between the 'youths' who authentically want to buy local things (not for image, or coolness, but perceived better... is that still wrong? what shapes their perception of this better? if not coolness? helping the local community or something? )

Wait a sec...'Babette' was the name of the protag's wife in White Noise.
What's going on here?

They're good things, but some people think this is enough. Capitalists wander around with their heads in a cloud oblivious to trauma their way of life is causing the rest of the world. People and environment.
It seems a start, like they may be coming around to the idea that this is just a comfier part of the prison and they are favored captives and something more needs done. But edgy commies give them no quarter

>But edgy commies give them no quarter
because they dont have one to give...

Relevant, but not terribly funny. I had a handful of chuckles, but a lot of the humor is something along the lines of
>lol this guy wants to fit in
It's a good critique, though.
>>9139351
Not what the idiom means
>Flips quarter at you
Keep 'em. They're worthless.
