They remember last August's riot as an outburst, a seizure. Yet what, from the realistic viewpoint of Watts, was so abnormal? "Man's got his foot on your neck," said one guy who was there, "sooner or later you going to stop asking him to take it off." The violence it took to get that foot to ease up even the little it did was no surprise. Many had predicted it.

it is interesting in terms of the Event to look at the way black resistance in America throughout history has been temporally sliced and diced in most accounts

I'm not rly sure what you mean here... are you talking about reducing it to a series of points and moments with delineated beginnings and ends rather than taking it as a continuous struggle? Because while I'd agree that's a thing, I don't really know that it's limited to black resistance in the US.



yes, and no it's not, you're right

i like MDE a lot better when Sam Hyde is just rambling around and bothering his mom and probably on acid or something

i do appreciate his personal assault on open mike nights in spirit but i don't want to be there or watch it
#6373

ya. like the description on the video, if you read it its actually really earnestly goony and complains about tone, "why do you have to shout down a civil conversation" etc, like it wouldn't be all that surprising to see the words cultural marxism mentioned if they were a little less cool.

by Christian Williams April 23, 2013

Temporarily banned from YouTube, sent packing by Japanophile-convention organizers, and despised by Williamsburg fashion plates, the sketch group Million Dollar Extreme is nothing if not polarizing. Its catalogue is divided between abrasive, strategically offensive acts of (sometimes public) provocation and anti-sketches that amount to hanging out with some very funny dudes while bargain-bin effects whiz by. Some videos borrow Wonder Showzen’s toolkit, wielding subliminal blips and eye-straining text in service of subversive ends. Some make use of the Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! aesthetic, and some are surprisingly slick, with excellent, eardrum-shredding music courtesy of talented mystery-men like Orangy and Vaervaf.

MDE has taken cameras into a Texas drug-dealer’s apartment, broken into a dilapidated LA manse, prank-called Craigslist prostitutes, and posted whole half-hour episodes of content, but the following videos are mostly on a smaller scale. Their output is large, various, and difficult to compress into a GJI! post here, but it’s worth taking a bite if you have an adventurous comedy palate. How adventurous? MDE videos, YouTube comments, and tweets sometimes espouse some pretty heinous views in the service of a joke, and the group doesn’t tend to “wink” when it’s ironically adopting the personas of scummy Internet denizens.

imo all comedians should be executed. the entire idea of standing infront of people and doing the same 50 jokes over and over again is ridiculous. no social function at all. pure western decadence.

storyteller/raconteur is probably in the running for real oldest profession, what's a comedian but that. you can blame the paucity of his art on the problems of his environment, but their hearts are in a righter place than most
