Why do people hate this guy for telling the truth? 10/10.
Yes, they say they hate Michael Moore, but more to the point, they hate what he represents. They hate the fact he points out blatantly obvious imperfections and other evils in the American system, political and otherwise, when theyâve been brainwashed into believing America is perfect, guided by the hand of God, and can do no wrong. They donât want to admit to themselves that America is far from perfect, and in many ways, is the exact opposite of what it claims to be. That kind of denial leads to anger and hate, and in some cases violence, especially since theyâve been so passionate about that misbelief their entire lives! Sicko is one of the best Moore documentaries, and one of the best documentaries Iâve ever seen period. A lot of eye-opening stuff! I was for universal care before I saw this in 2007, and all this film did was solidify that belief in me forever!
I agree 100%. IMO, your analysis also applies to many aspects of American government. The Presidentâs administration, for one.
Thank you, but it was a rhetorical question.
goodbye sober day ^_^
^^ Man, rough crowd. Is the title of a loved song by Mr Bungle (OPâs handle)
because he doesnât âtell the truthâ. try fact checking himâŚI bet you wonât.
Thank God i have free health care
Indeed i also enjoy it. Those damn socialists inventing the NHS ensuring everyone has free healthcare, what were they thinking.
hindsight disclaimer: everything in this movie was a lie
If youâre triggered by a film maker who may or may not be telling the truth and arenât triggered by your loose with the truth leaders and governments, you seriously need psychiatric help.
Because he aggressively refuses to take the hint that, when you are on the right side of an argument/history, you DO NOT NEED to make arguments in bad faith; in fact, historically it almost always does more harm than good.
I mean, seriously, if I were a Koch Brother, and I wanted to invent someone to steer progressive discourse to my advantage⌠Someone who would crusade to CONSISTENTLY derail the few meaningful ideological discussions which DO arise into reactionary, tribal slogans to yell past one anotherâŚ
Someone who could do it all: to those inclined to agree, promote a mindset and talking points mired in self-righteous class resentment rather than strategic class struggle. To those NOT inclined to agree, to be self-appointed Strawman General of talk-show-land, learning nothing from ceaseless, infuriatingly problematic use of disingenuous half-truths and questionable framings. And to those who donât really know, arenât very political: half the time older ones are gonna feel defensive or dismissive before a word of substance gets spoken; and the younger ones, bred to smell partisan-hackery a mile away, are gonna go full cringe at a range of rhetorical/theatrical stunts so tired and anemic they were prolly interviewed in this film
you could more succinctly have said to fact check him. He lies and exaggerates, plain and simple.
Hmmm, I MAY have had some rhetorical fun, haha. But my criticism wasnât about his honesty really, more the tragic role heâs played setting back the very causes he advocates. My guess would be out of some ill-conceived âfight fire with fireâ counter-Limbaugh sorta deal, hitting all the same addictive-righteous-rage pressure valves.
When youâre on moral high ground, the smart play usually looks like helping others people up while pretending not to notice. In todayâs insane resentment/âdoubling downâ culture war loop, to encourage waging a culture war in its own trenches is reactionary as best, rabid at worst.
Gaslight the other side and be sure to accuse those who disagree with anything of be phobic to said issue. This is the way.
So tweeteth the Lord, (r)amen
