Eschewing subtlety, like the film, let’s get into it. This appeared to be a kind of comedic Wolf of Black Street, and it is. But, I wasn’t entirely convinced that the people behind this film actually believed their own anti-capitalist messages. Without faith in the storytellers, it’s an uphill watch.
The narrative features an odd conflation of whiteness with capitalist oppression. Fine and well, except that’s just not reality. White people are screwed by the system too, and people of color can thrive in it if they abandon morality like their caucasian capitalist brethren.
It’s a raw film that’s mired in racial revolutionary rhetoric as well as anti-capitalist notions of modern slavery and immoral weapons sales to whomever will buy.
But.
The key to it all is the white voice–literally–the black actors’ voices are overdubbed with comedians David Cross and Patton Oswalt. They, in the end, purport to…

Trump’s “Interim President” of Venezuela
Trump trying to usher in age of smaller nuclear weapons for first-strike attacks.
Taking a page straight out of Barack’s playbook, Kamala Harris intends to SPAM and lie to me for the next two fucking years. I never gave her my email address nor permission to harass me, and I never would.
Darling,
This is how I decide whom NOT to vote for under any circumstances. You can fuck off permanently.
The first UN rapporteur to visit Venezuela for 21 years has told The Independent the US sanctions on the country are illegal and could amount to “crimes against humanity” under international law.
Former special rapporteur Alfred de Zayas, who finished his term at the UN in March, has criticized the US for engaging in “economic warfare” against Venezuela which he said is hurting the economy and killing Venezuelans.
Can this asshole be boycotted?
New report from ADL:
In 2018, domestic extremists killed at least 50 people
in the U.S., a sharp increase from the 37 extremistrelated
murders documented in 2017, though still lower
than the totals for 2015 (70) and 2016 (72). The 50
deaths make 2018 the fourth-deadliest year on record
for domestic extremist-related killings since 1970.
• The extremist-related murders in 2018 were
overwhelmingly linked to right-wing extremists.
Every one of the perpetrators had ties to at least one
right-wing extremist movement, although one had
recently switched to supporting Islamist extremism.
White supremacists were responsible for the great
majority of the killings, which is typically the case.
Your government has been engineering a government overthrow in Venezuela since Chavez took over about 20 years ago. They already held a coup in 2002 joyfully announcing their proxy forces had taken over, only to be beaten by the MAJORITY of Venezuelans who came out in support of Chavez. You live in an evil empire with malicious intentions that lies constantly especially about foreign lands. They have funded this “opposition” for decades, and they want to see a return on investments. So this outrageous fraud passes in the corporate media without comment.
Outrageous.
Fraud.
