so yeah good I want to catch this because I want to make this point I was
thinking about the other day capitalism out of the picture okay right you don't
consider capitalism and the morality that it it's the capitalistic morality
that it projects on the society a lot of which no consideration for capitalism
is
in fact amoral it's like sort of a like you know at one point you is capitalism
dictated you could have a slave right and if your slave ran away you could be a
slave catcher and that would be a moral way to sublimate your aggression yes
right is you could be a slave catcher people be like oh that guy's you know
that does a lot for you know he's keeping the yeah he's getting those slaves
back
it's a tough job yeah it's a tough job you know and so that's that is a that
and
but you know again capitalism no consideration that would be seen as a
sick and depraved thing I mean it even is now even with capitalism but it's
still
doing things like that right and so I just want to make this point that the
movie
Donnie Brosco and the real story uh-huh if you just assume if you imagine that
film but there's no such thing as money you know it would there was just
Italian
guys stealing parking meters because why it's this thing filled with shiny
metal
and they like it because Italians they love jewelry and yeah yeah sparkly thing
it's kind of a movie about a guy being Italian for pay and the way that you'd
be
gay for pay okay Donnie Brosco he has to go home to his wife and she's like I
don't
want to even I can't even look at you he's like just like yeah he's like German
or
something yeah and then he's like all right I'll see you later and he goes to
work and she's just imagining it being like oh there's not enough sauce and she's
like my husband's a fucking disgrace yeah because he's Italian for pay yeah he's
a whore yeah it's kind of basically it's like yeah it's like being like a like
a
sort of a gay or a little rent boy yeah yeah but being Italian instead of being
to pretend pretend to be Italian for money just like a prostitute pretends to
be
your girlfriend for an hour yeah yeah basically yeah yeah he's pretending to be
a
Italian guy yeah I like that I don't know it's just how I was perceiving of the
movie for did you watch it recently no I was just thinking about well I was
thinking about gay for pay yeah and then I don't know something in my head I
was
like what about WAP for I was doing the dishes yeah and I was like what if
there
was a guy who was like all ashamed of he was like sick to his stomach and
throwing up WAP for WAP well a guy like you know he wakes up in the morning he
throws up he looks at himself in the mirror and he imagines himself as like a
little boy and his mom she's proud of him he's been dead for years and now he's
like he's sick cuz you start off with this guy then he has to go out and suck
dick for a living or get in his ass to you know cuz of his heroin addiction uh-huh
but
like instead of that he's like going out and he's like mama mia you know he has
to be but
he's a he has that level it's killing it's that killing inside for himself yeah
you can't believe what he's been that he has to be Italian for pay and then I
was
like that's kind of what Donnie Brasco he doesn't want his wife or family to
find
out yeah yeah and then I was like and that's what capitalism does to people
mm-hmm cuz I'm a Siri guy no yeah yeah yeah that is that capitalism does do
that to
people.
