I gather from the amount this old post is going around again that awful people are mad about the halftime show.

I’ve said it before, will doubtless say it again: These folks are going to be permanently resentful because they’re seeking political power as a substitute for cultural power, and it’s never going to give them what they actually want.

It's a Super Bowl tradition at this point.

Brilliant. Neither money nor political power can move the cultural needle. That’s organic.

I had not seen this until now. But have been thinking similar thoughts over the last few days. Thought the halftime show was a great example why it is accurate.

“Why are they playing this weird stuff, why aren’t they booking good bands like they did 10 years ago” — every 50 year old who ever watched the Super Bowl

The absence of full Western backing during these trying times has left Israel to navigate an increasingly complex geopolitical landscape alone.

Big Brother doesn't just want to control everything, you must love him. Trump's the embodiment. E.g., he doesn't just want to conquer Canada, Canadians, he insists, long for this.
