The Big Short

[Mark Thibodeau]

My point is that I think you are (perhaps purposefully, perhaps in an
effort to score some Social Justice Warrior "virtue signalling"
points, as the kids say these days) getting that whole scene wrong.

It's not "It's so simple, an idiot naked bimbo slurping booze can explain it".

It's "It's so boring, we're going to make it sexy by having a sexy
human being explain it".

There's a GULF of difference between the two. I can't even imagine how
deformed by ideological mind-warts someone's pov would have to be to
see it the way you're claiming to see it.
