Always upvote Columbo! (But Not Columbus)
I’m begging someone with a good columbo meme stash to make a community here. I need more of them.
Not meme related, but have you seen Watch it for Days on YT (or similar)?
She makes incredible deep dives into columbo episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@WatchitforDays
I haven’t, but that sounds like my jam. Thx!
Lemmy would be the perfect place for it, too. Columbo is a working class hero.
this would actually make a great columbo remake thing. have him investigate historical genocides. constantly bugging the bourgeoisie with just one more thing.
Columbo’s specialty was taking down arrogant elite snobs, there’s never a shortage of them. He’d have the whole western pedophile plutocracy in prison within a few weeks if he was empowered to do so.
Reading “Peoples History of the United States” by Howard Zinn and you realize America has always been a country runned by pieces of shit.
I also highly suggest Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - An indigenous people’s history of the US.
That and Sakai - Settlers, would probably make the overall 3 best comprehensive US history textbooks.
Columbo my love
ACAB should always come with a single exception: Columbo.
A man of the people, who only puts rich assholes behind bars.
You have to kinda suspend your disbelief a little bit when watching the show, especially since its based in Los Angeles, in reality one of the most corrupt and racist police forces on the planet. IRL they would never go after rich socialites in the way Columbo does.
Luckily in the show there’s barely any presence from his higher ups, you get the feeling that they just let this magic murder-solving troll do his thing and never interfere.
Whoopsie
