This is what I get when I look up ‘quotes from Yellowstone’ –
Why?? What’s the point? “Ooooh look at how evil I am, I am so amoral, I don’t care about anything except money and power.”
It doesn’t even advance the plot, they’re just doing it to be weird.
I made it about two minutes into that new British show about gladiators for the same reason: every single line of dialogue is like this.
Also, who the fuck is writing this? Well-fed guys in Hollywood who have toy poodles and use tanning salons?
I really hate shit like the first quote because willows are incredible trees. They’ve also been super useful to humanity for tens of thousands of years, from everything from baskets to aspirin. You can chop off a willow branch and stick it in the ground and it grows a new tree. Try that with oak (although oaks are also cool).
Whoever wrote that knows nothing about trees. They just thought, “bendy weak not-bendy stronk.” Oh not a modern, commercial timber species, must suck. Drives me nuts they pretend to be “men of the land” then say some stupid bullshit like that. It doesn’t make them sound hard. A stone age man could make a fishing net out of that willow that would feed his family for a year. Fuck outta here.
Furthermore, the willow bends in the storm and and survives whereas the inflexible oak breaks.
haha what a great comment
Something about individualism, a way of life and ideology propagated by western world, civilization, and capitalism, promotes shit like this, especially in pro-property settler-colonial countries like Amerikkka
I’ve been thinking a bit about the similarities in settler based cultures lately. The commonalities with Israelis, Northern Irish “loyalists/unionists” and Americans is amazing. They all have the same extreme paranoia and racist supremacy. Absolutely assured of their righteous place as being better and above others. Machismo and a rugged individualism. Triumphalism, ultraviolence, callous inhumanity, over the top flag waving right-nationalism.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall for some of the conversations they have with their kids to teach them their culture of hate. How they pass the message of hate and bigotry down about their superiority.
Northern loyalists fly Israeli flags in solidarity
It’s really a damning tell, they identify with each other.
