I think the best way to describe it comes from a friend I went to see it with "Joker is what would've happened if Camus directed Taxi Driver".

Another film I need to watch

Taxi Driver is good. Think I need to re-watch as a lot of subtlety was probably lost on me all those years ago.

I didn’t sympathize with Joker, but I understood why he went insane, whilst there are definitely some suble things here and there (such as the riot against the big nosed money-men who say they’re our best option), it’s still really subtle

The social factors involved are really just in the background.

The story of Joker himself is what is. The story of man who just had some *really* bad days.

Which is where the "white anger" motiff ends, really.

I can actually sympathise with Joker

because he does show some humanity

for some of his actions

Hey, we've all had our moments.

But of course, let us not forget:

>White

<:eksdee:558283291292336138>

Also
>American
>tradition

American Traditions basically lost any chance they had when it began to federalise.

America? Traditions?

Literally the only traditions that America has is spreading degeneracy

Honestly east coast has tradition, they just kept too much Europe in their culture to not let it get supplanted by shame

East Coast white folks are very distinct in that way, and as you head west there's plenty of proto-tradition till you hit about the Rockies where everything is too new for even that

Romantic, when in the confines of a valid, sacramental marriage.

or before <:australian_sad:603879505085464576>

>Kissing before marriage

<:pepecross:570680862538989588>

Don't tell me that's heresy either 🅱 - dat cobba was kissin and washin the homies' FEET

Nigga, were any of those kisses romantic in nature?

JUDAS KISSED JESUS

DON'T BE LIKE JUDAS

<:australian_sad:603879505085464576>

@Natio Depends on the kiss. Passionate kiss would be an occasion of sin and scandalising your partner.

Judas kissed Jesus and didn't say "no homo"

The greatest betrayal of all

it could be, yes, but only a passionate kiss that would lead to a further level of intimacy with your beloved. @Based Chav

I would be the guy in the studio getting shot by the Joker in the Joker. But it would be my body double. Then when I saw it I would relax in my armchair by the fire in my mansion and laugh at how I created this crazy guy and proceed to create an army of people like that. #BetaUprisingInTheServiceOfAlphas
