Some light self radicalisation then.
I just watched Ali vs Richard Dunn, then I watched the news of Hoshoryu's yokozuna promotion, yay! Might watch some radical feminist video essays and maybe a transexual friendly engineering disaster slide show later.

Norbit is a really good representation of the US government
Norbit (the everyday man) meets his future wife as a child - she defends him from bullies (other countries, and later communism) and he reluctantly becomes her boyfriend (founding and expanding the union).

Fast forward a few years and Norbit is abused by his overbearing and over-controlling wife (the government), who verbally and physically abuses him (too many laws, privacy intrusion) and goes as far as to rape him (taxes) and lock him in her basement (prison) when he tries to leave (resists the government)

The scene where Norbit's wife Rasputia slides down the waterslide at the waterpark, starting out as mildly humorous to the watching public, quickly followed by screams of fear as they realise the true consequences of her actions could represent how some "good-intentioned" overbearing laws may seem good at first to the public, but in practice cause problems, or how when governments start making new laws it initiates a slippery slope that leads to communism as more and more restrictive laws are introduced.

During the film, he is terrorised by her brothers, Big Black Jack, Blue, and Earl, working as a bookkeeper at their construction company. This is undoubtedly yet another reference to taxes, as Norbit, a man managing finances, is bullied by relations of the government (who represent the IRS)

Norbit's wannabe girlfriend, the one he really pines for, is a reference to a proposed libertarian confederacy (not like the former US confederacy), where states and the citizens inhabiting them would have more freedom, or a reference to the sovereign citizen movement.

No idea what a transsexual friendly engineering disaster slide show is though.

Well there's your problem.

I don't see how being transsexual friendly is integral to an engineering slide show
Do you have a secret, brb?

Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead.

They had a guest on that was supposed to be a military aircraft expert
that said some absolute horsehit about the F-35 so it just devalued the podcast for me as a whole.

Brace yourself, they say nice things about the A10 too. Nutters.
