Surprising amount of race-based self-hatred, though I couldn't quite tell if it was being presented honestly. I guess you could say that about the bulk of Inside -- and much of the rest of Burnham's specials -- which clearly represents a certain allure. Still, for this all happening in a single room, I was impressed with the breadth of concepts shown in the vignettes. Among the most enjoyable was the reaction video. Ultimately though wasn't compelling enough to finish and I stopped about half-way through.

This captures what it means to have gone through the covid pandemic. Whether it be the mental health consequences or the social media doom-scroll that has replaced the human interaction we once took for granted.

Another self-hating racist woke person, also with a sprinkle of anti-semitism, as is right for the times if you want to be on Team Fourth Reich. I forget why I liked this guy previously, probably he was funny, but now he's just a hateful cancer that we should all keep clear of. Sad.
