Theater kid occupied governments make policies and rulings based on subversive fictional agitprop like "Hamilton" and "Adolescence" - the UK would deem this piece a non-crime hate incident
How Hamilton made it past first screening is beyond me. It’s obnoxious, and anyone that sits through it has to wash their brain with some Nine Inch Nails afterwards just to touch base with reality again. The soy boys love to virtue signal their version of history but reality has a gravity that can’t be escaped. Brought to you by the governments that want you dead.
It made it past first screening (and on to global success) because aside from the race of the actors which was a creative decision, it was a great production. You don’t even have to watch it on stage (where a lot of the content can be missed); can just listen to it on Spotify or Apple music as a regular album. An interest and knowledge of history and civics is a prerequisite though, as is enjoyment of hip hop, so it’s not for everybody.
Just because new cultural leaders are now decreeing that everything from the “past regime” was shit, it doesn’t mean we have to go blindly go along cuz…tribalism. That’s stupid!
Hilarious that Judge Reyes cited Hamilton as a source. (Insert man-smacking-forehead emoji.)
About a decade ago I read an essay on leftist Robert Scheer's now-defunct website "Truthdig." The essayist, a Native-American graduate of an Ivy League law school (I wonder what his LSATs were) printed a quote expressing the profound wisdom of one of the greatest minds in history: Was it Aristotle? No. Marcus Aurelius? No. Dostoevsky? No. He quoted YODA...
It's incredible when you see that these people actually buy the propoganda, like when they'll say that Jesus was dark skinned, as if that would anger people. Maybe somebody somewhere, but in reality it's irrelevant. They care so much about race, they don't have the self awareness to know that they're projecting onto others their own obsession with it.
The real problem with *Hamilton* isn’t the music, or the race swaps. It’s the way it distorts the personalities and accomplishments of Hamilton’s opponents to make Hamilton look better. Thomas Jefferson was actually an awkward, soft-spoken man, not a swaggering peacock douchebag; and James Madison was a legal and philosophical genius, not Jefferson’s toady who kept lamely trying to insert himself into conversations. It gives the impression that the Anti-Federalists didn’t have any legitimate concerns about the federal government - they just personally disliked Hamilton.
Also, “Immigrants - we get the job done!” is not only cringeworthy, it’s not even accurate. Hamilton was born in another British colony, so he was no more an immigrant to the 13 American colonies than I would be if I moved from Ohio to California. And Lafayette was a French citizen - French nobility, in fact. When you can’t even get your applause lines right, what’s left?
It's amazing how patently propagandic the Netflix series "Adolescence" is. I don't have Netflix, so maybe it's all this bad! But for this show in particular, I noticed that the mass-formation is also supplemented by the New Yorker that published a featured article subtitled: "The creators of the hit Netflix miniseries think of the contemporary English boy as a fragile creature, abandoned by society." Ah, White boys just need more society, multiculturally institutionalize them harder! Which is why we all need to get onboard for more global socialism! (My snark).
This article is of course written by a BIPOC cartoon (literally and figuratively, as all the authors have obnoxiously self-serious cartoon portraits in the New Yorker) who is also not English at all but Haitian-American LOL! Doreen St. Felix, color me shocked. Oh sorry, gotta get that accent-aigu in there: St. Félix.
She writes in the first paragraph: "Are Americans stunned by "Adolescence" because of the culture shock it offers? Over here, the drama about a white pubescent child and his purported mortal sin would unfold as a true-crime detective plot... The question it poses, and refuses to resolve, is _why._" See the tricky sophist sleight of hand there? We're not asking "if" or "what" actually happened (or what it might be based on "inspired by") – we can presume those are givens due to systemic racism and such – rather let's just deconstruct the _why_ with as much convicted passion and postmodern ignorance of empirical reality as humanly possible.
The show, and accompanying "lib liturgy" (i.e. NYer) is shockingly what you might call a "cultural coverup". Obviously the real scandal is the (brown) radical islamic psychos who are stabbing (white) girls, but we're not allowed to even observe that because it would be uncouth, impolite, we who watch Netflix and read the New Yorker have not been "abandoned by society". (More snark).
Under the modern Left dispensation, the only acceptable boys are either those who were born female or those from a "minoritized" background.
Every other kind is dangerous and suspicious, mostly because they might at some point commit the ultimate crime of thinking for themselves.
But the most important thing is to find a sacred victim to worship and adore (publicly), not because of the subject in question, but because the paramount purpose is always displaying moral superiority and being rewarded for acts of atonement.
Social Justice is really a very warped Christian heresy.
My sister, whom I love dearly, is a perfect AWFL. She took her teenage kids to see Hamilton and they thought it was, quote, "stupid" and wanted to leave before it was over. When this was related to me I declined to comment. But I do have hope for the future of my family.
Don't forget it teaches all minority children to think of themselves as helpless victims who can only be saved by the STATE. There are minority kids who realize the damage the is being done to them, too.
You shouldn't have "declined to reply," you should've told your sister that she's a stupid idiot, like I've done with my AWFL brother, who is a stupid idiot.
Yuri, you are game on with this column. The stampede of wealthy white people who rushed to see Hamilton reminds me of how many progressive intellectuals in France embraced Rousseau, the radical activist of his day. What followed were the guillotine, anarchy, and then Napoleon, essentially a military dictatorship. We have been on a similar path in the West.
When I was on phakebook I'd often comment: "you should reserve this kind of content for Lady Facebook. Men have no interest in such things" and, of course, get a millisecond in the stockade for it. Netflix is Lady TV. Created and maintained for women and soyboys. I'd sooner fly to the moon naked. Thanks for having the stomach to watch such drivel, Yuri!
I just read that paragraph in the Federalist Papers, and he has some plausible objections to a Bill of Rights, some of which we see playing out today. I don't know if that says anything about his motivations.
I'd watch a hypothetical musical rendition of "Jefferson" if he was incongruently played by a gargantuan samoan, as long as it was based and trolling the intersectional obsessions of said theater kids. Woke casting is dead, there's no debating it – that trend lasted a decade at most.
There should be a "Jefferson". Hamilton was not an exemplary revolutionary for the spirit of America's independence, other founding fathers and framers were.
I'll hold out for the musical "Morgan" (about General Daniel Morgan) where all the musical numbers are outlaw country and Southern rock and the true villains are scumbag New Yorkers and Yankees like Hamilton and Benedict Arnold.
Dan Morgan is, without a doubt, one of the greatest men of that generation who has been memory holed. We would, if we did not live in Clown World, have children learn about him in school. The US Army would celebrate him as a man to emulate. Maybe one day.
“1776” isn’t the most historically accurate musical, but it’s a lot better than “Hamilton,” and it gets Jefferson about 90-95% right. Check out the 1972 movie version, starring most of the original Broadway cast.
I saw Hamilton on PBS and thought it was dumb but I guess this what passes for talent these days. On PBS several years ago was a Shakespearean drama based on historical characters. The actress who played the queen did a fantastic job and the only problem was there was never a French queen who was black.
I have an equally asinine example, not exactly parallel but pointless in the same way. More than a decade ago WETA-PBS in Washington, DC, broadcast a topless version of Rigoletto. In period costume, but the women were naked from the waist up. It was horrifying AND hilarious.
Well if we apply the timeless Northern tradition of considering Italians to be black, queens Catherine and Marie de Medici could get a pass! Maybe PBS is just vehemently anti Italian
"Hamilton is a musical vibrator for AWFLs"
Lmao. Savage.
Pairs well with Heather Cox Richardson
As my kids say, "that's crispy"
I love your characterization of modern governments as being occupied by theatre kids. Its perfect.
He’s absolutely right! JB administration was absolutely run by a bunch of theatre kids. Trudea & Macron, both theatre kids.
Well, Washington DC is Hollywood for ugly people and hoo boy, are there some butt ugly people in DC.
😂

looks really boring.. my friends spent a fortune on tx. left at intermission

It wasn’t a “creative” decision to alter the racial backgrounds of the characters it was an ideological decision.
Hilarious that Judge Reyes cited Hamilton as a source. (Insert man-smacking-forehead emoji.)

There is no try.
Good one, your comment was.
🤣brilliant
This is not at all part of the Great Replacement that isn't happening, you Conspiracy Theorist nuts.
But if it is happening, White Devils had it coming and better like it.

Thank you! Facts still matter outside of Broadway.
It's amazing how patently propagandic the Netflix series "Adolescence" is. I don't have Netflix, so maybe it's all this bad!

A+ nailed it
Under the modern Left dispensation, the only acceptable boys are either those who were born female or those from a "minoritized" background.

Social Justice is really a very warped Christian heresy.
History revisionism disguised as art subverting life and getting awards for it.
My sister, whom I love dearly, is a perfect AWFL. She took her teenage kids to see Hamilton and they thought it was, quote, "stupid" and wanted to leave before it was over. When this was related to me I declined to comment. But I do have hope for the future of my family.
Kids have far better intuition than AWFLs, based on voting data they see right through the BS
This may be more true than you know. My twins are 14 and there's definitely a change back to first principles by gen z.
They're starting to understand that progressivism is an instrument for hate.
They see it's a religion of self hatred:
- It teaches white people to hate their race
- boys to hate their sex
- girls to hate their femininity
- Americans to hate their country
- westerners to hate their history
What a loathsome poisonous thing it is.
They sense this even if they can't quite put their finger on it.
Don't forget it teaches all minority children to think of themselves as helpless victims who can only be saved by the STATE. There are minority kids who realize the damage the is being done to them, too.
Agree.
You shouldn't have "declined to reply," you should've told your sister that she's a stupid idiot, like I've done with my AWFL brother, who is a stupid idiot.
Calling people names may satisfy, at times, but it ain't much of a tactic for changing minds.
I don't care about changing their minds, I just want to insult them.
You need a different acronym.
What are you talking about?
AWFL stands for "Affluent White Female Liberal", but your brother is not female (I hope).
Yuri, you are game on with this column.

In Federalist # 84, Alexander Hamilton said that a “bill of rights is not only unnecessary… but dangerous.”
Get in the Ring, Alexander Hamilton! https://lizlasorte.substack.com/p/get-in-the-ring-thomas-jefferson?r=76q58

I needed a dose of your writing today! I always say to my husband “what’s the Hamilton thing?” We don’t get out to the theater much….
