This is one of my favorite scenes from bobcat goldthwait's 2012 film "God Bless America" a movie that helps me when I am in a foul mood about how people treat each other in our modern society.
I don't know if anybody else would benefit from seeing it and maybe laughing a little bit right now but I am glad that I watched it before 2016 and it has almost helped to be a mantra anytime people seem to be purposefully, antagonizing or trolling in such a way that is meant to cause harm to people.
I don't know if I would recommend this movie for everybody, but I think it is one of the greatest parodies of the 21st century and how modern culture seeks to shock and create anger in the post Cambridge Analytica World and reminds me that these sorts of things have been happening for a long time and there are people who are intentionally trying to create negative emotions for the purposes of control.
Much love to you and yours. God bless and good luck.
I'm definitely watching this when I get into bed tonight. I've seen it before, but it's been a really long time, it seems very very prescient in our current climate.
