There are some parts that are legitimate issues to be concerned with, but the show places a huge emphasis on overpopulation specifically and not very much focus by comparison on matters such as resource allocation, economic systems, shit like that.
So you get a cabal of rich capitalists that get to essentially unchallenged* present the issue as one of all of humanity at once, and not one that they are directly and constantly perpetrators of. As with the other comment, is there a world where season 3 would critique this? Maybe, but that doesnt seem likely given that the provocative nature of the show is the supposed moral dilemma of population culling vs humanity facing extinction.
*Unchallenged in that the claims they present are not challenged on a factual basis, nor are the protagonists able to present any opposition in terms of what can be done about the issues but only on matters of morality, and the only protagonist who even has proper knowledge of the same issues is entirely convinced of the antagonists worldview and plan, while those that continue opposing the antagonists legitimately do not have knowledge of the issues.
It does say that but at the same time as it accepts the core premises and "question" of ecofascism, but it attempts to suggest a different answer for moral reasons.
Like if there was a show about IQ or something and the message was that you shouldnt oppress people for having lower IQ collectively.
I do not recall any real moment that the premise of the villains is challenged though, the challenge is "you cant be ecofash for moral reasons" and the head ecofash is constantly portrayed as a uniquely troubled genius.
Is there a potential future where a third season would reveal it to be all bullshit? Sure, but then it becomes bad television instead, since the ecofash narrative is one of the things that was innovative and challenging about it.
It's a shame the premise is basically just accepting ecofash assumptions in order to be provocative, but the style and acting is great.
Reading Killers of the Flower Moon discussions and something Im surprised I havent seen yet in regards to Mollie and Ernests marriage is that Mollie would have very good reasons to not specifically seek out a white man who is as intelligent and clever as she is.
Like I see a lot of half joking remarks about how smart women marry dumb hogs all the time in real life, but as is the case with traditional marriage dynamics and even moreso for someone like Mollie, would it be in your best interests to have the man whos gonna have an immense amount of economic and direct power over you, be intelligent and clever about how he uses that, or would you feel safer if that guy is kind of a fucking moron who you can try and push in the directions you want while he is bumbling around trying to figure out what to do?
Like even aside from just the mental calculations here, it seems very natural that just the difference in how safe you might feel around dumb men vs smart men, would make you more likely to fall genuinely in love with them? Love isnt just magic, your material situation plays a huge part in it.
it's ok they put cajun spice mix in it, so its not british
To be fair, whats deserved and whats useful/practical are separate matters.
The french deserve a thousand charlie hebdos.
Either way it doesn't really matter cause the actual purpose of a recipe is communication between people, if I follow a recipe Im trusting the people who wrote and published that recipe and discovering their particular tastes and preferences, why the fuck would I want an AI version of that.
And particularly with novice chefs this shit is so insidious, just treating cooking as a maths problem rather than as something to cherish and enjoy, you should learn cooking by learning the dishes your parents make, your friends, or even just trying to make whatever good stuff youve tasted sometime.
My contribution to the discourse is that I dont think there should be inherently different standards for parties and single people when it comes to noise like this.
Whatever the standard is, you should basically get to do the same stuff if you are just alone in your apartment trying to let loose a little as if you have gotten a party together.
