There’s a major push of alt right propaganda masquerading as feature films. I posted on another thread about Nefarious, which is just preachy rightwing nonsense marketed as a horror / thriller. It’s a garbage movie regardless. We stumbled onto it by accident, but it turns out my mom’s priest had recommended it as part of his homily. Which is fucking insane. If you want to dissolve your last remaining shred of faith in humanity, read the audience reviews. Many viewers felt this story of a demon-possessed death row convict convincing an atheist that abortion is bad was “the most realistic portrayal of evil.” Mass media propaganda isn’t really new. It was circulating in novel form going back to the Left Behind series and, before that, The Turner Diaries. The bottom line is that much of the rightwing beliefs are based on completely fabricated fiction. I would even argue that a defining characteristic of rightwing thought is the enthusiastic incorporation of fictional narratives into one’s internal model of reality. Alex Jones is an exemplar of this particular flavor of idiocy in action: the dude constantly cites to sci-fi movies as evidence of the truth behind whatever (exaggerated or fabricated) news story he’s talking about that day.

Because it’s dumb as fuck?

Um… what?

Yesterday’s results were the best possible outcome. Bama’s win and FSU’s bumfight victory may have cleared both Georgia and Bama out of our path.

He played more like a 6 year-old QB.

Lulz.

I’m guessing that by that point, the tidal forces would have already fucked our shit up. Earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, and possibly loss or thinning of the atmosphere would make it difficult to enjoy one last drink or screw. But I’d still try.

Username checks out.

These movies look terrible and amateurish, and they are clearly written and performed by humorless hacks. But they’re part of a growing effort to provide a rightwing alternative to shared pop culture media. Other examples include the painfully unfunny Fox News show Gutfeld! and the sanctimonious-culture-wars-sermon-masquerading-as-thriller movie Nefarious. We stumbled onto the latter accidentally (pro tip: ignore Rotten Tomatoes audience scores) only to find out that my mom’s priest had recommended it from the pulpit at mass. Spoiler alert! It’s a terrible, boring movie that literally culminates in a Glenn Beck episode. This stuff is all unwatchable schlock. But rightwing ding-dongs are watching it and talking about it. And all it does is confirm their weird views and further isolate them from mainstream culture. It’s propaganda, and it will likely be effective at continuing to drive the right further over the cliff of fascist assholery.

Nice try, narc.

This Christmas season, Texas Republicans will tune into the broadcast of It’s a Wonderful Life to root for Mr. Potter.

I’m just helping her conceive.

Lolz. On the right wing, “political freedom” equals “nobody tells me what an asshole I am when I say my weird, awful political views out loud.”

Bro’s no good for him. Too ethnic.

Thepumaman.

Fortunately, the passengers in the car happened to be terrorists.

Also, I’m starting to suspect that man might not be a mom at all.

Yep. My high school friends mostly smoked Marlboro Lights, but I smoked Camel Lights. They tasted so much better. Plus there was that bearded peeing guy on the camel’s leg.

That wasn’t even the worst spot of the night. In the fourth, the refs gave ISU a full two yards extra to make 3rd-and-5 into 3rd-and-2. I think it was the play immediately before the illegal formation penalty.

The right is starting to get better at comedy and it's making lefties nervous

He’s not mad at the crew.

GET. HIM. OUT OF HERE!

Maybe they’ll find Saddam’s WMDs under there. Or whatever was supposed to be in Al Capone’s vault.
