The Boys Recap: Alt-right Cocktail Party


It’s not a surprise that the richest and evilest people in America get so horrifically filthy.

I’ve been curious for a while about Sage’s actual belief system and motivations, so it was gratifying to hear her open up to Neuman about the moment she became radicalized: She discovered a cure to her own grandmother’s leukemia at 11 years old, but she was ignored and laughed at and her grandma died. But Neuman steps up to the plate, combining her political acumen (she can handle the Justice Department, the military response, and OPEC, among other practical issues) and a persuasive emotional appeal (“The masses are fucking stupid,” and billionaires shouldn’t be regulated or restricted in any way).
