It&#8217;s not just self-loathing. It is a recoiling on itself at the highest level of the privileged class. <\/p>\n<p>How many weeks was it in a row? \u201cGlass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery\u201d The most watched Netflix movie? This movie \u2014 a TV-movie really, since it showed in theaters for just one week \u2014 is about the endless, requisite betrayals and falsities that buttress the foundation of adulation and riches. It\u2019s almost as if some glitch in the AI made a flick aimed right back at the executives and stockholders that plugged it in, all of them just hangers-on to somebody else\u2019s brilliant idea. And then they laughed at themselves, chugged a bottle of Jared Leto\u2019s 9 percent ABV hard kombucha, and slept the sleep of the dead.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not just \u201cGlass Onion,\u201d Which calls itself a \u201cmystery\u201d But he relies too heavily on rewinds, resets to earn this moniker. Take critics\u2019 streaming darling \u201cThe White Lotus,\u201d After trying to make the existential bleaknesses of wealthy white American leftists look good, it managed to sink into its own misanthropy in December. <\/p>\n<p>The Sicily setting sure is pretty, and it\u2019s probably on purpose that the only winners in this story are a couple of pricey hookers, who between the two of them, in various combinations, slept with three of the five American men (that the show cares about) hanging around at the titular White Lotus resort. Three of those men have been married. One of them is at the resort along with his wife. (One of the other, natch) He is currently in trouble with his spouse for not keeping his pants clean. But that\u2019s what you do, Mr. Big Money McDorfus\u2019s wife seems to say: You make accommodations. It&#8217;s your way of making up for it. Maybe you fool around with the other married guy, your husband\u2019s college pal, because maybe your two spouses already did the same.<\/p>\n<p>Pretty bleak stuff, which it\u2019s meant to be. Nobody can trust anyone. Love is a transaction. In \u201cGlass Onion,\u201d The same goes for friendship. The entire band of self-described &#8220;friends&#8221; \u201cdisruptors\u201d It is revealed that grifters are all that remain, each trying to maintain their status in the tech and fashion worlds. \u201cinfluencing\u201d These are the days. Their flowy skirts or macho tattoos won\u2019t cut it if they\u2019re not in with the next big thing. And who cares if the next big thing is a faux-green energy source that (as one character says) couldn\u2019t just blow up the world but could \u201cliterally blow up the world?\u201d Someone did not accidentally poison a pianist before he could sex up a prostitute. That was the best joke. \u201cThe White Lotus\u201d Could be wrung from the moldy rags of its plot.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s where maybe the bleakest<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shows like &#8216;The White Lotus&#8217; and &#8216;Fleishman Is in Trouble&#8217; are depressing and bleak because they&#8217;re meant to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1677,"featured_media":1807949,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[546],"tags":[6919,15200,5515,15201,7669,15202,12264],"class_list":["post-1807946","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-federalist","tag-federalist","tag-hottest","tag-powerful","tag-prestige","tag-rich","tag-self-loathing","tag-trend"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/cndimages.nyc3.digitaloceanspaces.com\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/IMG_2758-scaled-1.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1807946","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1677"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1807946"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1807946\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1807949"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1807946"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1807946"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1807946"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
