this isn't a politically edgy take, but it's a pure take. a throwback take, really: some mild trolling mixed with a HED that will fire 'em up on the slate facebook page. here for it
This type of thing was your primary variety of take before the whole politics-entertainment merger that began about maybe 15 years ago (where everything is simultaneously political yet thoroughly depoliticized).

Now, of course, it’s all personalized and all politicized, and thus it’s neither, as you well know
