Favorite bourgeois person? I like Gordon Ramsay, also don’t be like “uummmm akshually i’m dont have a soft spot for anyone!!” I know we all have a guilty pleasure of some celebrity or something

    For me it’s pro wrestling in general. People like Vince McMahon at the top, who I’m pretty sure played a big part in Trump getting elected - you can see a lot of the manipulative techniques he used for popularity coming right out of Wrestling’s Carnie culture. And there’s the anti Union/Black Panther caricatures they’ve had as past gimmicks.

    But then you get some incredibly based individuals in the industry. Lots of leftists and progressives and sometimes you get a hint that someone in WWE might be hiding their class consciousness.

    Like here’s Kevin Nash understanding the real reason the US ‘liberated’ Libya from Qaddafi: https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxnkaiWBdkrHH-Ji_B8MOeEA3Pv-Df63-B

    The ideology of individuals that you meet or see in the industry makes it look like a microcosm of the Western world’s ideology. This overarching cloud of despair, but with little embers of hope just waiting for their moment to catch.
