      He tapped perfectly into that zeitgeist where the world is falling apart but we are still making entertainment, having kids, doing laundry. So many others refuse to acknowledge the oligarchical elephant in the room (looking at you, Legal Eagle) and I get that’s how they make their living so can’t go off the deep end but the tone deaf-ness of NOT acknowledging is so frustrating.

      Thanks, Alec, for helping me feel like I’m not losing my mind in a world that is pretending we’re not hurtling headlong toward the worst parts of the 19th century.
