Hypocrisy/Idiocracy

“Well, I do work, sir… My wife is not the issue here. I hope that someday my wife will learn to live on her allowance, which is ample. But if she does not, that is her problem, not mine, just as the rug is your problem. Just as every bum’s lot in life is his own responsibility, regardless of who he chooses to blame. I didn’t blame anyone for the loss of my legs. some Chinaman [sic] took them from me in Korea. But, I went out and achieved anyway.” -The Big Lebowski
- You don’t work.
- Your wife is the issue.
- You also live on an allowance.
- It is your problem.
- You did blame someone for your legs.
- You didn’t go out and achieve, it was “mother’s” money.
This short dialogue/monologue is so profound in it’s overview of the story and the characters and relatability… that goldbrickin’ piece of shit.

Dude: You figured, "Oh, here's a loser, you know, a deadbeat. Somebody this square community won't give a shit about." The Big Lebowski: Well, aren't you?

Dude’s comeback, one of the best lines in the movie: “well, yeah…”

Everyone in the movie is a hypocrite, but the Big Lebowski is the most blatant of them.

How is The Donny a hypocrite?
strolls@reddit
He wears custom-embroidered shirts with other peoples' names on.

I hope you stretched before you made that comment- Donny is a saint.
strolls@reddit
Donny was a good bowler, and a good man. He was one of us.

AND what kind of weirdo wears a three piece suit in his own home?!
no_bender@reddit
No. He helps administer the charities now, and I give him a reasonable allowance. He has no money of his own. I know how he likes to present himself; Father's weakness is vanity. Hence the slut.
Pandy_45@reddit
Donny was listening to the dude's story, after all!

Way to go Donny!

“___ is not the issue here.”
That’s another bit of recurring dialogue I hadn’t noticed before.
I know, I’m like a child who wanders in the middle of a movie.

OMG same
FratboyZeida@reddit
Were you even listening to the Dude's story?

I also notice TBL has no veterans display case behind/near his desk. A shadow box. Most combat-decorated vets do. Makes me wonder if he was lying about how he lost his legs.
desert_manta_ray@reddit (OP)
Im sure he is… probably lost them to the diabetes.

Well, thats just your, like, your opinion, man

Nice homework, Larry.

Chinaman is not the preferred nomenclature…
desert_manta_ray@reddit (OP)
This isn’t the guy who built the railroads… also [sic].
jackasspenguin@reddit
Every accusation a confession. Nice catch.

“My father’s weakness is vanity. Hence the slut.”
That line is so small, but it’s spot on when describing conservatives. All they care about is how they are perceived by others and how that affects their power.

Who am I? I'm a veteran, that's who...
