Basically
see there you go. Remember we are dealing with a ruling class who think getting industrial goods in return for an IOU is a rip off on behalf of the IOU writer. There is a layer of obfuscation between the money and the American government and that is why they’re mad currently. I am saying it is odd that they have not discovered that they can just ask for money directly by means of threats.
Sure that’s already indirectly a thing
The point is not that the US isn’t extracting value from their client state, the point is that current US leadership is venal enough that they would desire a direct extraction of species.
The actual argument you could make here is that as the “workers” in the convent, they were entitled to the means of production (Production of… holiness I guess) i.e. the convent. The landlord/tenant relationship does not at all map on to a nun and the catholic church
I don’t know why they haven’t stumbled into the idea of tributary nations. Sure that’s already indirectly a thing. But you can’t tell me it doesn’t appeal to Trump to demand protection money directly.
I couldn’t agree more. Even if I know on some level it makes me a bit entitled. I just don’t see why I should give more “grace” to my judgement of a product that takes as long as a documentary to make by people who sometimes have more stable incomes and better connections than a lot of entry level documentary film-makers.
I haven’t looked up any details, but from what you tell me I too would side with the catholic church and Katy Perry, and saying those words wasn’t a pleasant experience.
There’s a bunch of 8 hour long recaps of various kid shows, and honestly I almost respect that. At least you’re putting in an honest 9-5 at that point, even if what you are making is slop.
I feel like given that video essays now have the turn around time of actual films, they should be judged by that standard. By which standards they’re all pretty bad.

That’s a valid. But myself im already teetering at the edge of dipshittery, I can’t take chances
I’m never gonna read Lacan because there has yet to be a non dipshit lacanian
It’s like saying not to be mad
There’s an entire group of people who decided to become ASOIAF youtube essayists around the last time a book came out, some of them are still going, and that’s funny.
But the tastes don’t mix or anything, you just have watery ice cream and scummy soda!
Americans. Justify the ice cream float right now. You’re taking two perfectly good things and making both worse for literally no good reason
Soon we’re gonna see grey broccoli hair 
You sometimes have to wonder if they should introduce a statistic for life expectancy adjusted for raytheon
You’ve never felt the impact of class quite like when your lab partner cancels shit because she has to go to the theater, the opera, a ballet or a formal dinner. Sadly planning to reduce the nazis by 1 through this has eluded me.
That form of work they are obligated to do is to not be excommunicated. They are not charged rent.
And in either case, selling a convent off to a real estate developer isn’t some liberatory action, these women weren’t seizing property to put it into the commons or to redistribute it for the good of all, they were essentially claiming squatters rights to sell off a building to a real estate developer who was probably going to flip it. Which now that I’m saying it out loud isn’t really any worse than what the church was going to do with it.
