    I mean title is pretty accurate. The tweet does accuse him of those things and Boots Riley isn't some nobody twitter acct

    'Q-anon type stuff' can (likely disingenuously) mean any number of conspiracy theories of varying levels of craziness. QAnon is a specific conspiracy that believes anonymous online posters reveal cryptic signals about Donald Trump that guide him to expose a pedophilic cabal that controls DC and the world. Saying 'qanon type stuff is intentionally disingenuous. Not even Kanye nor Rubin actually believe that s***.

    Feel like this would have come out earlier no?

    it's been pretty known for awhile and the speculation with kanye's heel-turn has always been there (though i mainly said that as copium in 2018 ), but now it's finally sort of being corroborated

  • wouldn't be surprising if true tbh

  • We have known for this for years now lol

    he's a hack how exactly?

    like he doesn't contribute to the production behind his credits or?

    The Dark Knight Rises is pretty hamfisted in comparing Occupy Wall Street to the Bolshevik Revolution. Not in a flattering way. If he actually said it was about "fascism" he meant "totalitarianism" which is the project of equating communist Russia to Nazi Germany and fascist Italy.

    And I like TDKR btw

    Nolan did say fascism. But a loose/unsuccessful connection of themes like that does not at all justify Boots going on Twitter and calling Nolan a right-wing filmmaker before Nolan put out the most left-leaning movie of his career.

    All I'm saying is that Boots can get a little accusatory even over the small stuff.

    that was sort of corey's argument tbh. bro laid on a couch and mumbled vague s*** at the band the whole time. engineers did basically all the real work.

  • that beastie boys doc seemed to hint towards this too

    It's not a "loose/unsuccessful connection of themes". It's right there in the film and absolutely a reactionary perspective. The second film justifies the surveillance state and s***. Nolan has always loved cops and troops. Insomnia is the blueprint for Batman and is all about how cops have a duty to break laws in the pursuit of "justice".

    Boots is absolutely right. I don't see the problem. You can still like those movies lol. American action films are all in the Pinkerton tradition. Inception is literally a gun for hire doing corporate espionage. Tenet is literally about a CIA agent saving the world from a WMD and named after George Tenet who was instrumental in the Bush wars.

  • So it was the white man's fault all along

  • lmao kanye must be the dumbest mf around

  • Now we just gotta find out what white guy introduced konway to cock sucking white supremacist nick fuentes so we can wash his name of all the s*** he said
