Is Million Dollar Extreme really an example of post-irony?

his show was so bad it was one of the top rated shows on adult swim despite being at 12:15

>>lol it's just a joke... or is it ;)
You're a literal idiot if this is what you got from the show

yes

confirmed for having never seen the show

has sam ever commented on this?

>top rated
I'm not talking about ratings. Any time people say his show is lame his autistic fans start screeching "YOU JUST DON'T GET IT. IT'S IRONIC AND TOO DEEP 4 U."

Tim and Eric had 5 seasons but was bizarre in a similar way

deploying more innovative forms of degeneracy should worry you, this character is dangerous
noting good has ever resulted from comedy

no I never watched the show
I don't watch television, especially not a channel targeted towards children and teenagers
irony is garbage and will literally rot your brain if you consume it

Chris Morris did it better. imo Nathan Barley predicted Sam Hyde

I've heard he actively deletes any mention of it on the MDE reddit.

>irony is garbage
but it's not irony. it's post-irony

San Hyde is self-aware. Barley was not

just learn to be sincere, don't engage in anything with prefixes, "post-irony" can only be garbage

Yeah but I don't like that either. Just being ironic doesn't automatically make something funny.

>Sam Hyde is self-aware.
Barley.

>When he accurately describes Veeky Forums as that leftist who still needs to see xirself as subversive

t. doesn't watch sam

Trump won, the democrats were nothing but neocons who cried a lot and listened to Beyoncé. There hasn't been a real left since the 60s

This desu

>he thinks he gets it
Please give me an analysis on any of the following: Eric Hayden CEO sketch, teacher sketch, brother's wife sketch, frat party sketch

>a REAL left

HahahhahahaHAhaha exactly the type of stuff I'm talking about

>muh the REAL left is still subversive

Do you know? I'm curious as to what these meant

t. has sam's cum in his brain

I have an interpretation that I may type when I get home

What do you think the "real left" is?

The """workers revolution""" is never gonna happen you outdated commie fuck

Well It's that or being devoured by malignant technocapital AI

Nathan Barley is a fictional character...

the AI will be homosexual and we will all be absorbed into the mulatto underclass

There is no 'real left' there is only an ideal applied to reality. I assume that poster is thinking 'wow, a real left who believe the things I believe'. Leftism is anything that trends toward egalitarianism. The REAL left, to an armchair user is going to be as egalitarian as humanly sustainable (it differs from leftist to leftist depending on how possible/sustainable they believe anarchism, communism, socialism actually is). Nevertheless that's where they tend to end up advocating social reforms in that direction. There's a dissonance between ideals and reality however and many understand that even though their highest ideals call for radical changes to the societies they live in that such a thing is unfeasible because most people don't want that much change; they aren't comfortable with it. So they take their ideal and they select what is most important, or most palatable, or most feasible. In this age and this time those things that have been selected are identity politics and political correctness. Those issues were deemed most important by the loudest on the left and they are doubling down so hard that many, many in their lifetimes, will not abandon the issue. The media and attention helped shape it into what we see now. This is their 'great fight'. The mistake is thinking that this is somehow less 'real'. It's simply how the leftist project manifests itself in this day and time within these people with their specific wants and needs. I would agree that it is a pathetic disaster, that it's actually killed any chance of success, but it's just as real as any of the other things that could have but didn't get selected by this wave of leftist.

Sam did a HydeWars episode on that.

Neoliberalism was not an egalitarian project, but attempt to create a fascism without hate, one that leaves exploitative capital and the profitable war machine intact. An utopia of gender diverse drone operators and multicolored banking executives, where domination is completely rationalised and logical. It doesn't work for the simple reason that fascism works better with hate.

hi Nick

>where domination is completely rationalized and logical

Gonna need a source on that

Then why do pseudo-commies at Buzzfeed (founded by Jonah Peretti, who is an open communist) love neoliberalism so much?

>He can't imagine that Capitalists and Leftists want a completely homogeneous Human Race for very different reasons

Jonah Peretti wrote his thesis on Debord's society of the Spectacle. Debord was a communist, who wrote with the objective of promoting revolution, but he does give a great and very useful description of how the modern world works. His work is popular with media people and spooks, like Peretti or the Kremlin's Vladislav Surkov, precisely because it's useful. They are actually hard core nihilists. Surkov wrote a novel in which he talks about how he feels like he transcended ethics and only cares about the patterns, beautiful patterns re-arranging themselves for all eternity.

the privilege checking system is hyper rationalised protestant ethics which meshes perfectly with the hyper rationalised capitalist bureaucracy. Goldman Sachs and military contractors have instituted mandatory 'diversity workshops' precisely because it's an effective method of control and micromanagement

and he had no self-awareness in the world of the show he was in...

No, they're an example of irony.

Something about their style reminds me a lot of '60s psychedelic/"revolutionary" stuff like The International Times.

How are they not post-ironic?

that would fully be in line with the author's argument

What's post-ironic?

Nothing because irony is not a movement, it is the softer side of nihilism.

irony is a type of expression

Yes but when people talk about irony they are talking about values.

Irony as an expression has been around forever though so calling something post-ironic is as dumb as saying "late capitalism".

>the post-ironist folds over on his own sincerity with exaggeration, using the ironic not just to ridicule, but also to enjoy the absurdities of what he genuinely appreciates.
so power metal was post-ironic all along? huh

the term just refers to a form of expression that exists as a reaction to/outgrowth of the widespread culture of irony

Yes it's a colloquialism created by morons who didn't even understand what irony was in the first place.

Pic related?

>capitalism has been around forever

As long as people have exchanged stuff with each other, which is pretty much forever. Capitalism is not even a thing, but individuals voluntarily exchanging stuff and making contracts. The only way to prevent it would be through a totalitarian society

there is examples of "post irony" in the iliad

>voluntarily exchanging stuff and making contracts
Vast swathes of history where this did not happen, it may surprise you to learn.

>muh spearchucking example we should all learn from

this is jarringly false, look what happens what a retard from /pol/ leaves his echo chamber and enters our echo chamber

Oh wow, so like pretty much forever really is like 300 or so years for you?

i think you might be 15 years old or braindead

>leftists still think they're anti-establishment

We should make a poll. I am a /pol/ack as well

>this is what redditors actually believe

Objectively they are now, they weren't a few months ago but they are now, get with the times grandpa

I'm pretty sure 70% of this board is just me.

>let me paint the left with a broad brush even though I vehemently oppose when people do it to the right

this

I'd say I'm responsible for at least 40% of the zizekposting, you guys are welcome its a full time job

the left only cares about white genocide. That's why leftists will always side with the finantial elites over the working classes, cause they believe all whites are guilty and deserve to be bred out of existence

The US was right wing with the Democrats, although Obama was fairly left wing for a democrat. Compare it to the UK and Australia, another large former colony:
US: Democrats and Republicans, which are p much the old Whigs (liberals) and Tories (religious conservatives)
UK: Labour and Tories, so an actual workers' rights party and a right wing traditionalist party
Aus: Labour and Liberals, work that one out from above.

kind of funny how the alt right is the right finally having some diversity of opinion and they almost completely disintegrated because of us and then they call us "all the same" or imply it

I agree I was just shitposting
