DUDE LETS REPACKAGE OLD IDEAS AND CLAIM THEM AS NEW

the only remotely accurate thing he touched upon was why the soviet union collapsed. His reasoning was still absurdly reductive and simplified to the point of near meaninglessness due to the number of factors he was determined to ignore or downplay.

>>84250145
meaning?

i like watching his documentaries but you really shouldn't take them seriously, the guy is honestly a complete loony

>>84250116
lmao

4ch doesnt take him seriously bc he exposed drumpf lol

>>84250498
What did he say?

>>84250627
he exposed him as a failed businessman and a con-artist who became president piggybacking on the backs of rural and suburban retards

watch it

>>84250758
I've only seen the All Watched Over... doc but it seems like he would focus on bigger geo-political and social causes rather than just "lol retards voted trump".

>>84250835
its not the whole documentary you fucking retard

>>84250893
I know but if he actually exposed Trump in the documentary he would likely fit his rise in the context of bigger trends and movements.

>>84250950
he does

fucking watch it already geez

>>84251036
No fuck you

I listened to his interview on Chapo.
Very interesting man and a great docu, especilaly on the subject of wars in the Middle East.

>>84251045
this is funny because Chapo fanboys really are that stupid

>>84251044
why the fuck are you discussing it then

I know its classic /tv/ to criticise something you haven't seen but shit, come on lads.

Hypernormalisation I see as bringing together the ideas in a lot of his other films.

Bitter Lake I liked a lot. The point of that one is not his argument - that the Middle East is just the Cold War by another name - but that everyone used to accept this as so obvious as to need no explanation but because it doesn't fit the narrative, its seemingly being memory holed and is treated as a whacko theory.

>>84250145
Wait until next year Joe College, you'll find out it wasn't a new idea then either.

>>84250262
He means read "The Society of the Spectacle"

>>84251290
>reading marxist trash

>>84251118
kulak detected

>>84250758
the problem with that has to do with how that's not even the worst story of a republican president from the last 40 years.

reagan was a failed actor who became president piggybacking on the backs of rural and suburban retards, who've voted for regans party in every election for the last thirty years.

Trying to act like trump is some new force in politics is idiotic.

>>84251521
You literally just googled the book, saw "Marxist critical theory" and dismissed it because you're less than a psuedo-intellectual

>>84251521
>french self hating marxist
>in any way equivalent to marxism in the us

>Let me take some different events, state that they're causal as gospel (without any counter arguments), and intersperse them with some shitty pop music and bizarre, vaguely related clips
Curtis is the biggest fucking hack

its rlly good
