I'm fairly certain I spoke frontier gibberish in a past life.
Hedley Lamarr breaks the fourth wall. The only other character, perhaps, that does this in "Blazing Saddles" is Bart. Antagonist and protagonist. Immediately following Lamarr's breach, protagonist and antagonist are featured soon thereafter. Hedley introduces Bart to his new role
The antagonist unwittingly arranges for his own demise. Strikingly poetic for a comedy, @MelBrooks.
I miss Gene.

@morningmoneyben Hubris, not "optimism." There's a difference, in my estimation . . .
@morningmoneyben It's the same type of virus as influenza, which we've lived with for millenia. How do you think humans fared when we first encountered it? The only reason it's not as deadly as COVID is because humans evolved over several millenia.
@morningmoneyben Influenza requires regular "boosters" to keep up with influenza's evolution, and we know COVID is 14 times more infectious, and appears to be growing more infectious, which means it will evolve even faster.

@morningmoneyben They're not.
@morningmoneyben Also, I'm not sure that markets will tank. It's a well-functioning homeoatasis of privilege at this point. It's a stable pyramid scheme because they keep injecting themselves with stimulus and creating multipliers on their fractional reserve liquidity, like a roiding gym rat.
@morningmoneyben I sometimes wonder if the Capitalists are attempting to create a class of Untouchables in the United States. They could do that in a bifurcated economy, which is clearly what we have now.

@morningmoneyben Nature always wins.
@morningmoneyben Maybe my neighbors should finally start showing her some respect.
@morningmoneyben Did you think she was just going to let us kill off millions of her children and let numerous flora and fauna fall off the record with no consequences? How many rhinos are left? You think this is the only virus she has in store for us?

@squareydavid 1) Both China and the United States depend on central banking in a global monetary system that encompasses most, if not all, “markets” in the world. 2) Both countries are de facto oligarchies that protect entrenched wealth and power.
@squareydavid 3) Both countries are largely unaccountable to their residents, who are broadly regarded as “human capital stock.” 4) Both countries are dominated by an increasingly controlled media. 5) Both countries contribute to growing, global income inequality.
@squareydavid 6) Both countries are two of the only five permanent members of the United Nation’s Security Council. 7) Both countries demonstrate wide-ranging historical disregard towards their own populations.

@robotronica @p_jeanne97 @JStein_WaPo If we lived in a Republic, society would be split in 3 tiers - captives, slaves and enforcers - and we would all be ruled over by a god-king and his priestly yes-men.
@robotronica @p_jeanne97 @JStein_WaPo Children would be harvested from the lower classes, inured to bloodshed at early age and forced into an enforcer eugenics program designed to breed a race of obedient murderers.
@robotronica @p_jeanne97 @JStein_WaPo Emphasis would be placed on mathematics while art and literature are censored and limited to displays of submission.
