Debunking Borat

Love or reject him, Borat is who he is created for. Unnecessary yet you can't take your eyes off him.

Appearing a tad sciolistic this time around, Sasha takes on America yet again and created another very watchable satire amidst the chaos of COVID to highlight some uncomfortable truths on the mentality of an average American everybody.

This century's Monty Python, playful yet heavy handed with something to offend everyone. Just watch it, have your drink and shut up.

I should start by saying I lean neither right or left in politics, and I've been an avid Borat fan since the first movie.

I found this series to be not worth my time, and honestly rather annoying. I was excited to see a series showing us more of the time Borat spent with the two guys during lockdown.. but what we got instead was 1 episode containing very little new material, and 6 episodes of preaching to us about the jokes they made.

This series is a blatent cashgrab.

This show consists of the first 40 minute episode, with nothing really new from when Borat 2 stayed with the two dudes, then six more 7 minute episodes of what seems to be a teenage boy narrating over why the two guys silly conspiracies were wrong. I mean ZERO laughs and it's just weird as heck. Skip it, trust me.

So if you like Borat then you'll like this series. It's just pure satire. A lot of Americans can't understand satire and the US in general make politics their life. So when you remove the satire you're left with Borat just making politics and conspiracies look silly. Almost all the reviews that are 1 star are anger because of this. They make it evident in what they say. Political agendas and all this when it's just a satirical comedy.

So just ignore them and try it.

I don't know Is it real or staged ; but if it's fake, it's done pretty well .

The absurd extremist beliefs of the hosts reflect those of a significant minority of US citicens .

And while most of them are all bark and no bite, and mentally and physically the least capable and most dependent members of society, they do pose a real danger to democracy .

At the same time , those two guys are being portrayed as likable, hospitable and quite tolerant despite supporting the most outragous lies spread im mainstream Western politics since the 1930s .

Maybe this piece is about all the core principles and common decency most people still might have in common, even when some subscibe to Qanon or Milita rethoric .

I personally don't belive that to be true, not after the damage done from Oklahoma City to January 6th by rigth wing milita cells and the individuals and groupings related to them .

But a nice effort to ask people to get along .
