OperationOgre [he/him, they/them]
How detached is the UN at its headquarters or its offices in the Global North from its agencies in the field like UNRWA? I find it unbelievable that Israel keeps killing UN staff in these bombings on Palestinians and somehow UN staff aren’t revolting. I know the UN is exactly as toothed as its veto countries want it to be, but if my coworkers kept getting killed by my boss I don’t think I’d be sitting on my hands
I’ve never seen any other seasons of Fargo, so I can’t compare it to that. But I thought it was entertaining. My friends who are fans said they liked season 5 the best. It dragged a little - I think it could have been like 5 or 6 episodes. There’s a lot of what I would call filler, but it’s still mostly entertaining filler. What amused me the most about the show was that you’re rooting for a lot of villains because you want them to do bad things to worse people. Oh, and the cops are all incompetent or corrupt, and the rich lady I mentioned is completely and unapologetically aware of her class interests, so it’s a very funny show to watch as a leftist (but you will tear your hair out if you talk to libs about it).
And John Hamm is great in it
I just watched Fargo Season 5. One of their characters is a rich lady who plainly states what the role of the police is in modern society when a cop starts probing into her business. I certainly did not expect that from a tee vee show
Lorraine Lyon : What is your function?
Minnesota Police Deputy Indira Olmstead : Excuse me?
Lorraine Lyon : The police. I mean, why do we need you? Except as a tool to keep a certain element in line. To separate those who have money, class, intellect from those who don’t. You’re gatekeepers, standing outside the walls, keeping the rabble from getting in. But in here, inside these walls, you have no function. You should remember that.
Nice argument, but I have depicted you as the disheveled critic of genocide
