I posted this to YT but screw it, this hell platform is broken

it's so fitting that right-wingers would misinterpret an insane penguin unintentionally killing itself as something optimistic, like you couldn't come up with a more perfect analogy if you tried

One interesting thing isto note is that fascism doesn’t promise to make life better like democratic ideologies do, it just says things will be as they say they should The penguin walks away because it’s supposed to go towards the mountains, doesn’t matter if it’ll die

They might have meant what they said, honestly. During covid I found out how many of my fellow Americans would rather die than work together

aura and hype moments so lobotomized the meaning looped 180 degrees back to being a perfect ironic framing

Said it before but Dan is one of the very, very few video essayists who’re actually worth watching. Great work as always.

Well put. I wonder, what do you call a national suicide?

King shit as always

if you want to know what an angry dan sounds like, i feel like this is as close as we're gonna get

The irony in all of this is the use of Werner Herzog's work. The man has made a prolific career looking at life and death as artistically insightful as one could be through his documentaries and films. He is the antithesis of fascism.

That would be nice, but probably the truth moreso is that they're extracting what they can to protect themselves. This collateral damage will be insignificant in the face of the incoming Tsunami.

This is an all time banger and I hope more get to see it

This was a beautiful watch

But what about the penguin-prostitution part in this insanity-among-penguins-segment? Werner, say something?!

I think this was mostly spot on. Good shit and a great metaphor.

the second time l'amour toujours got co-opted by fascists

The song choice is a dog whistle

@TheGreeneBJ So you explaining a video to us because ?

On the bright side, the YT version still has 10x the likes

Are you going to do a follow up on Flat Earth/QAnon in light of the Epstein file release?

ah yes, better to post on the notably not broken platform, x the everything app

How you liking the $GME earnings dawg. Hope you weren’t part of a paid short and distort campaign…

Sitting here feeling torn because you consistently make videos that I enjoy immensely, yet wish didn't have a reason to exist.

The right cannot meme.

There’s a very big clue you’re missing, Dan. The penguin is a distraction

This is insanely dishonest

I feel sad for the poor penguin

Seeing this after your video was wild

I know a YouTuber that said being depressed actually makes you more productive, so if this get you to make more videos that’s a positive for your wallet I guess…
