“Breaking Bad actor” jesus christ Giancarlo Esposito is in enough shit to be recognized by name
Has he though? Has he really?

I thought it was gonna be like, Badger or Victor.
I was hoping for Dean Norris

I’m only early 40s and so cannot say I’m truly a boomer, but I have definitely done similar searches on twitter and have also accidentally mistaken the post box for the search box.
The fact it’s still up 8 years later is king shit
What a fuckin legend
There has to be a German word for something that is both creepy and endearing.

Wow this is rich coming from an immigrant who owns a a laundry business that doubles as a super meth lab.
more like sorosbitposter over here!
I really wanted it to be
im not watching a YouTube video someone should really have included more context to “this is time for revolution” so i can tell if he said something cool or something liberal
I don’t know how much more context there was, I found this on the Variety article about it whom he made the comments to, he did say it in kind of a lib way, but maybe he just knows his audience:
“This is time for a revolution — and they don’t even know that’s what they’re starting,” the actor told Variety on Tuesday night at the Sundance Film Festival. “We have to stand up to it. They can’t take us all down. If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington, they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world].”
“Some very rich old white men are exerting their power to suppress our own people, thus creating a feeling of civil war in the streets, preparing the haters to hate, teaching them how to shoot,” Esposito said. “This is all a preparation for a very insidious problem that’s happening in our world. And for me, I have to speak out. We will not be ICE’d out. This is not going to happen.”

He says a bit more on the video after that but basically just concluding.
Oh so it was liberalism, yaaay
Why are Liberals like this? While calling for a revolution in the fascist USA they just can’t help but take a swipe at America’s enemies first and reinforce American narratives
Lol is he saying Khamenei is a rich white old man? Or that Iran is controlled by rich white old men?
I doubt he means “it’s time for the workers to seize the means” but it’s hard to really glean exactly how he means it from such a short clip.
Sounds like he wants us all to charge Putin’s palace while 50 million of us get mowed down
It wasn’t just liberalism but PEAK liberalism
Anything more forceful than “a revolution in the polls” would be cool
Regrettably, he said this on New Year’s Eve in celebration of the Earth revolving around the Sun.
Schrödinger’s Shorts.
i think it’s kind of wild he put such a large number on the cost of said revolution. usually these sorts of pronouncements are very far away from considering the human toll that revolution will bring. interesting times.
Where did he do that? I didn’t catch anything like that in the video
If the whole world showed up on Putin’s doorstep or the Iranians’ doorstep or in Washington, they’d kill 500 or 50 million or however [many], but the rest of us would survive with a new [world].”
just borrowed that from tocopherol’s quotation a bit further down the thread.
Is he gonna be on the frontline then?
When he talks about foreign countries it makes it sound like the usual liberals calling for violence elsewhere kind of deal, doesn’t sound like he’s ready to participate in it, he’s just “spiritually ready” for 50million other people to die for it.
I think the working class will see this kind of thing and agree with it but also get angry at it. It helps the left because it’s escalatory language but also workers just see a millionaire saying “Many of you will die. It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make”
i’m not trying to say that his words were particularly well-reasoned or even well-delivered. i was just commenting on it being interesting how the imagination of really detached people has shifted. i agree with you entirely on the actual implications of his choice of words.
