I don't know if this was already posted.
This is where the gay Tu-pac things comes from; from a gig he did after the attack.
It reminds me a bit of the Count Dankula saga. There is nothing that guy would have loved more than to become a professional shit poster after a viral Nazi pug joke. The guy was a nobody working in fast-food or something.
If you watch the whole gay Tu-pac video, you can see Smollett is floating. You don't boast you're the gay Tu-pac when you're reeling about the American nightmare. There's little that such a grievance pimp would love more to be in that position. His whole family is absolutely saturated in grievance narratives, despite them all doing well and living very comfy lives.
When I was much younger I had a strong association with the the sort of grievance culture Smollett lives in. It wasn't something I did often and I soon realised the impulses I was actually operating on, but there are a few occasions when I pulled a Smolett. I faked that I'd been wronged to use as leverage over other people.
But this is when I was about 8 and not a fully formed person. Jussie is 36. And he's surrounded by friends and family who will believe him no matter what.
This also reminds me of school. When a kid did something bad and the parents were brought in; sometimes the parents would want to know the truth and not get their child out of bad behaviour just because it was their child. They had a sense of honour, at least when eyes were on them. But others would believe anything their child would say in any case.
The left live in that universe, where them and theirs always have a Smollett to play as an excuse. There's never an instance in which certain people have responsibility for their actions. It can always be blamed on something else. And they no longer have enough fuel to hold together these narratives, so they make their own.
They aren't real people. They don't want any responsibilities.
The best thing about it is the back fire. As soon as he pulled the Barry O. get out of jail card with the stupid side dish of forfeiting your bond money I was laughing, waiting for the next stage in his downfall.
I can't think of anything the left has done that has worked in 3-4 years. Most of it ends up blowing up in their face. In particular this, Mueller, their marches and obstructionism, Kavanaugh, the resistance, #MeToo (rapist Argento), #TimesUp (rapey son) come to mind.
Here with Brexit, which has been sabotaged from day one, there are a number of possible betrayal outcomes, but it doesn't matter what they do, I am 100% confident it will end up being to their detriment. They're hollowing out the political, media and judicial trust with their antics. A lot are recognising Mueller is WMDs mark II.
I think I have laughed more in the last 3-4 years than the rest of my life combined. At these guys - the left. I guess it's what happens when the feelz take over. 2020 is beginning to look more and more like it will be better than 2016.
Mazel tov, Mr Smolovich.
