I just found the ending with Saul giving himself up really hamfisted and completely out of character for him. It just felt like moralizing for the sake of it.
I think they wanted to do the whole ‘threes’ thing, Walt dies, Jesse escapes, Saul gets arrested.
I do agree Sauls denegration near the end felt out of character to a degree, the guy was a con artist/lawyer his whole life and I dont see him getting that deranged in his old age.
I liked it, made sense to me that walter or jessie dont get caught or punished.
I will agree that the entire show has a right-wing liberal idea of drugs, morality and such. I think it was only good because of the acting, dialogue, camera work ect all being 10/10 but when the ideology shines through (and its always there) the bias of the director and the writers can shine its ugly head thru.
I think mostly about how there are basically no black characters in the entire show, about a drug kingpin in america; I mean think about that lol, you manage to go two entire shows without even discussing the root of politics of the drug war of america and its the freaking topic of the show lol.
Yeah, Walt is fully responsible
The american health care system is responsible as well
Part of being right all the time is admitting when you’re wrong and adjusting your position accordingly.
Thankfully materialism is grounded in scientific analysis, I just remind myself of my own bias.
there are unfortuantly a large contigent of christian lebanonese that hate muslims in there own country more than they hate isreal
recently quit my union because it was sending money directly to labour (UK) and they advocated for a 3.6% wage increase this year.
I quit and explained my rents going up by 12%, my bills by more and that they should be ashamed for accepting the lies labour told them that there ‘is simply not any money’
The other union that represents my interests just voted to strike instead, guess where im going

Regulating governmental intrusions into privacy would take a completely separate and probably much larger bill.
It would take a revolution honestly
I often think about what a therapist would tell my abuser and how they would help them seek peace and comfort without actually addressing any of the harm they caused,
Its a defferal mechanism at its worst, heres how you can be ok.
As a marxist the only thing im actually interested in, that therapy cannot provide is restorative justice; undo the harm that has been caused, financially compensate me ect.
I feel in a fairer society therapy would come with actual real life actions and changes to laws, politics and society. As it stands it feels more like a railroad of defferal where they can box people in and keep them as active workers paying tax.
It has utlity, I just hate the neo-liberal conception and structure/outcomes of it.
No ones yet to explain to me why we should apologise when the Kulaks literally went on record that they ordered grain be burned to increase the price, during a famine, directly killing hundreds of thousands of people.
imagine wasting your time and fragile ego on this fucking nonsense lmao

They need to drag it down to personal attacks and othering because all liberals can do is justify why x and y group deserve genocide and solitary confinement for life.
The distinction between liberals is which groups there form of orthodoxy allows the military and the prisons to be directed at, they can agree on a few things though, mainly the ongoing enslavement of black americans and the genocide of palestine.
The spark comes from it though, also think about a more structral approach; a socialized health care system would have taken the floor out of Walts meth and drug empire, he would have likely just been a high ranking pharma industry guy.
