Bojack horsemans lack of personality has led him to adopt the persona of "most rational in the room". It half fits - he certainly is very aspergers-like, but without the high intelligence that would complete the package.

Given this perception of himself is what his whole identity is based on, he gets most upset if anyone else gets recognised as being smart.

He feels that that label is owed to him, and only him. Anyone else is just a usurper - he's the one true king, doncha know?

Because everyone else is too scared they'll be labelled a racist or bigot.

He street walks & questions have been informative

To whom? If Latham's preaching to the converted, it's just more echo-chambering.

Mistie said combatting identity politics, not having a w@nk session with Richo and Cameron.

Bitching about the ABC, complaining about Boongs, whining about beards and burqas and PC gone mad.

Is there anything else in the cupboard, or is that all there is?

Anyone who can twist the arm off a heavily bearded taxi driver and beat him half to death with it because he was being molested in the front seat is okay by me.

Indeed Herbie. We're all impressed by different things. Sometimes a bit of biffo is you need to prove you're a man.

It's a rich tapestry, innit.

It wasn't with Richo or Cameron.

Of course it would be way to plebeian & lacking intellectual stimulation for one as intelligent as thou.

Never mind you're getting all the knucklehead you need here ...no? Roll Eyes

I don't know why you bother posting here ... if you lay in the gutter with dogs you'll get up with fleas.

You must like it. Tongue
