Oh my freakin' goddess, y'all! This isn't the Jimmy Dore to whom we've grown accustomed. It might be Thich Nhat Hanh, Marianne Williamson, perhaps Caitlin Johnstone, or possibly even some extraterrestrial jag-off night-club comedian, disguised as Jimmy.
It's also devastatingly profound. I've heard a lot of sermons from a lot of UU ministers over the years (turnover at First UU Houston being what it is), including some very good to excellent sermons. This 30-minute rant beats them all. I shit you not, comrades, nor do I exaggerate.
Beyond that, the timing of it is appropriate, since I've been rewatching The Sopranos in order in recent months. Much of the premise of that program is Tony Soprano's resistance to acknowledging his shadow self, even though his shadow self is pretty much always in control.
He's gone grayer than the last time I watched one of his videos, which couldn't have been more than a few weeks ago. Embrace the gray, Jimmy. You're a sage now.
I remember seeing the Bobcat Goldthwait bit to which Jimmy refers somewhere in the middle, the one about gay-bashers being latently gay themselves, around 1992. If you can find a clip of it online, please link me up so I can watch it again.
