This analysis also relates to the Hog as well. For example, his explanation to why he's ""conservative"" when what he's describing is a libertarian. Even as he tries to muster up DOING A HECKING RACISM = BIG GUBBAMINT you can't even say he is pro small government at all from his complete and utter politics worship. He knows conservative equals "when you uhhh like money and guns or however the gutteroil is filtered" but he doesn't understand that most pro-life folks expect their own state and county council to ban/limit abortion also want a smaller NATIONWIDE government. No THEY'RE the real libtards claiming to be Conservatives...O Algo... Rick simply cannoT change his political identity thaT would be impractical! He gets it right then firsT time!!!!
Remember it's not about what Rick actually believes, it's about what he wants people to think he believes. Rick's actual beliefs are neoliberal, because in the current day and age that is the belief system that is most likely to put him in positions of power, which is all he really cares about. When I say Rick's "actual beliefs", Rick doesn't really have any, he just wants to be on the winning team and during his Twitter peak, they were, so that's where he nailed his colours to the mast. Rick's claim to be conservative stems from his gigantic insecurity about his masculinity. To Rick (and I actually agree with him on this, though he'd never own up to this being his real opinion), neoliberal men are weak, submissive, soy-titted, effeminate pantywaists, so he doesn't want people to think he is one, even though he is actually all those things. Rick wants people to think that he's a muscle-car drivin', gun-totin', barfight winnin' tough guy who has
lots of sex you guys, but also an emotionally literate, media literate, authorin' literate renaissance man, because you can't place Rick in a box, he's too
fat special and unique! And as many have said before, that's the angle he's going for in order to get a media career - the conservative who gets invited onto liberal news outlets, because he's got it all figured out and only he knows how to square the circle.
Of course Pat doesn't understand the difference between conservatism and libertarianism. He doesn't really know the difference between either of those things and liberalism either, nor does he particularly care to learn. Pat considers learning a waste of time, which in his case it actually is because Mr 1.2 GPA isn't good at learning, but he's really good at arguing! Ok, he isn't good at arguing either, because his idea of arguing is to loudly yell his opinion over and over until the other person gives up. In fact he's not really good at anything except Pepperoni production.
didn’t even KNOW about the Airbnb until relatively recently. I feel it was discovered post-Quasi and at first assumed it started after the payment; but was found to be much older.
