I feel like I read somewhere on Hexbear that the form that the decay of empire will take from within the beast’s belly is, like, ideologically incoherent nimrods committing random acts of violence against the ruling class… I wonder how the person who wrote that feels now!
It’s disappointing to find out that this once-enigmatic figure with all the trappings of a folk hero, who had so many people mesmerized for days with his apparent charisma and the catharsis he provided, is… Well, this chump. I almost want to say that this is “not canon”!

The enigma was central to the folk hero aspect. Not having any details on the guy made it easy to project our frustrations onto him. It was kind of inevitable that him becoming an actual person would break the spell.

I’m pretty sure I’ve expressed similar sentiments to this before on here, but I won’t claim to be the originator of it. I’m pretty sure it comes from Christman’s analysis.
I have never believed in any kind of coherent anti-establishment political movement willing to actively commit effective violence coming out of the U.S. any time soon.

Not with that attitude!

The best one could hope for is a movement for separatism from the US (and thus… not really the US…)

Look all I know is that there will be a huge turf war for the UP if stuff starts to break up in the Upper Midwest. And I would bet the lines in the UP will essentially be drawn between Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packer fans, because the culture is very silly up there.

Our wolves! Drat!
His going to be a folk hero for many. Just not you
ideologically incoherent nimrods committing random acts of violence against the ruling class.
when the ruling class is so desperately grasping for power they keep doing stochastic terrorism against themselves
maybe we overestimate their class consciousness? /hj
It will happen against the ruling class more but only because random acts of violence will be happening more generally.

Yeah if this is the guy, it really shows that there’s a deep resentment for the ruling class among all political affiliations. Some of them are extremely confused and have a bunch of really bad and backwards ideas, but underneath their confusion is someone who has lots of potential.
Just gotta purge the brain worms.
So…Ivermectin’s back on the menu?

Proof Ivy Leagues don’t teach you shit. As funny as the monopoly money in a bag was I am very disappointed he didn’t have a change of clothes. Wtf was the guy thinking
They teach you how to touch a computer just like every university in 2024
They teach you how to be bouge
Not to be pedantic, but Penn isn’t an Ivy
The NYT article in the thread about him being arrested said something about him being in an ivy league school
Nevermind, I just forgot that it was
I don’t even know what ivy league means apart from “rich and fancy”
It was created for sports. Can’t have state school linebackers sacking the fancy lads.
Not only that. He got talked into taking off his mask by the hostel girl with a cheap “oh haha your smile is so pretty, please take it off, definitely not for the camera behind me because we want to use this stuff to catch you if you’re here to commit a crime” and giving her a smile. If this is indeed him. It would have been so easy too. He could have just changed his look a little before the hit, not taken off the mask, used gloves, disposed of his gun and made sure he had nothing incriminating on him.
Honestly not surprised.
So many people were (and will now act like they never did this btw) talking shit for days about how clever the adjuster was, how he had them all fooled, how perfect the crime was, how the cops were just making up random things like finding food he ate which they got DNA off (pro-tip: never let them get a sure match on your DNA, if they can’t put a name to you but have enough evidence that a name is all they need to find to convict, you’re going to be fucked for a crime like this because eventually a relative will use a DNA testing company that will sell to the cops who will be checking shit like this against it annually for the next 25 years to catch you for killing most important bourgeoisie and then it’s just a matter of narrowing down your family tree, following people, and getting your DNA sample surreptitiously and you’re fucked unless you’re out of the country and out of extradition range by then). All that talk about you know first 48 and I was just shaking my head. Of course I hoped along with everyone else he did get away and disappear but the cops were saying too many things and the reward numbers were not going up like you’d expect for a crime with no real leads or evidence.
I have to believe that he wanted to be caught to prove something. To plan everything out to get caught with all that stuff on you makes no sense…
Reminder that in The Beekeper Jason Statham plays a guy whose whole thing is bees and he’s a member of a secret society called Beekeepers, but none of the other beekeepers are all about bees, so that’s not a Beekeeper thing, but just something Jason Stathams character does.
So like a Freemason who has a masonry hobby on the side?
More like a Freemason who calls himself The Mason and his job is masonry and his hobby is also masonry and his wife is an actual brick

Maybe he thinks you need to register with the government for a porn pass.
what no theory does to a mf’er
The fact that even terminally online, right wing tech bros think the U.S. healthcare system is immoral speaks volumes.
material reality supersedes beliefs
Speaks volumes about how they’re dumb as fuck
Yeah, I think this is it. Rightists don’t even understand what the implications of their own beliefs are.
Will companies put exec photos and bios back on the websites?
the beekeeper unironically rocked, it was like the matrix but without any of the philosophy and just the dumb action shit and world building, the villain was hunter biden, and the bee puns and bee themed villains were actually hilarious
my favorite moment of the movie by far is when
spoiler
they reveal there’s a fucking John Wick organization of bee themed assassins that Jason Statham went rogue from complete with DOS computers with beecomb themed UIs, and when the villain asks them to stop Statham, they send exactly one bee-themed assassin after him, who Statham promptly blows up at a gas station. The beekeeper assassin organization then shrugs and goes “we tried lol” and then is never seen again for the rest of the movie. I would also mention how fucking abrupt and hilarious the ending is but honestly if you’re reading this and haven’t seen it go watch it it’s peak bee kino
I’m a half hour in now. It’s hilarious. Hitting all the notes. Statham has kind of fallen off though. I expected more from him. Feels like he’s a generic stand in tbh.
lmao, I just got to the beekeeper, beekeeper part.
edit: Great watch. So over the top that it’s practically parody.
we’re deffo not still in statham’s crank era but the scene where he stares at the audience to monologue at us about how scamming the elderly is bad for five minutes, and “i think I’ll take to bee” are both peak cinema
I’ll admit, he did have his moments. That ending though. LMAO.

Female circumcision? Lindy.
Conflating astronomical events with doom? Lindy.
Patriarchy? Lindy.This ridiculous paleo-lite view of the world, where you pick and choose from history with no real criteria, really needs to go. I don’t understand the value of pretending that ancient times were glorious, when the life expectancy was under 40 and most people were illiterate and died from maladies of the teeth. Or violence.
Everything he’s wearing in his picture? Not Lindy.
Its like a mismash of every sort of “reject modernity” take but no coherent alternative.
Like there’s one where he retweets a Tucker Carlson rant about post modern archtechture being soul draining, but adds that the cause is clearly just because its cheaper.
I still fall in the cautiously skeptical camp about this being our guy but this is definitely one way to square up all the contradictions for sure.
