      1. A few thoughts on Martin Scorsese, the tri-state douchebag as a character type & Anthony Scaramucci.

      2. Scorsese's core films (Mean Streets, Goodfellas, Casino, Wolf of Wall Street) are all about a particular type: the tri-state douchebag.

      3. Tri-state douchebag (TSD) is hyper-masculine, anti-intellectual, borderline criminal or criminal. Often in Wall Street or the mafia

      4. Scorsese's movies are a series of brilliant satires on the type. Unfortunately, there has been a regrettable feed-back effect.

      5. The TSD doesn't understand satire so sees Scorsese's films & thinks the characters being satirized are cool & worth emulating.

      6. So guys like Scaramucci take Goodfellas or Wolf of Wall Street as models for how to behave: art & reality are not parallel but converge.

      7. Here's my larger analysis of Scaramucci as tri-state douchebag:https://newrepublic.com/article/144103/trump-mooch-rise-new-york-douchebag …

      8. Some people are arguing the Wall Street Bro is distinct from the tri-state douchebag. I see them Wall Street Bro as a subspecies.

      9. Just as entomologists can distinguish between different types of cockroaches, some experts can differentiate species of douchebags

          10. So, yeah, TSD comes in different types but from point of view of non-TSD it's all the same, as with cockroaches.

          Hilarious & accurate As a New Jerseyan fan of ALL those movies. I would add Stone's Wall Street to list. Addl sub-species: Jersey shore folk

          Yeah, but Wall Street Bro is related to the German Cockroach which looks nothing like the Tri-State species.

          @HeerJeet should debate @LilBillHaywood on the meaning of #douchebag. For the former it's surgical knife; for the latter a sledge hammer.
