He’s right that price fluctuations on commodities are inherent to capitalism, but people won’t stop complaining about it until we make energy clean and free.
Still, his phrasing has BDE for sure.
This was 2022. Full context in the article
Based Hank
americans complaining about gas prices will never be not funny
based
Faux news thinks this is an endorsement of higher gas prices 🙄
He’s not wrong.
Made fun of small business owners iirc. I like the man.
Which is funny, his character would be MAGA af.
Would he? He was up against a neo-Nazi group who was working with Walt until his dying breath.
He was after the neo-Nazis because he was DEA and the Nazis were making meth lol. It had nothing to do with them being neo-Nazis.
right but consider his stance on mexicans and drug addicts. not much of empath
I can’t remember him saying anything against Mexicans, did he? I know He loved his partner?
Pretty sure he called Spanish “bean speak”
Tbf he wasn’t aware of the Neo-Nazi group until
Spoiler
they arrived to gun him and his partner down.
That isn’t to say he’d knowingly be allied with outright Neo-Nazis, but it doesn’t mean his character wouldn’t be a MAGA fascist.
Also, the only reason he got into conflict with the Neo-Nazis was because of Walter and the meth. Hank was DEA, his only real concern was arresting the makers of the blue meth.
It’s been a while since I saw it. Wasn’t it mainly Mexican cartels? Either way, he was a cop, so I’d give it a 95+% chance. Also his wife checks some boxes.
They’re minerals!! Marie
Definitely would have voted for trump in 2016 though
Everyone that voted for Trump in 2016 voted for him in 2024 too.
I know a few who didn’t. But whatever
That’s a good point.
Don’t normalize Fox News
I didn’t take Hank for a comrade. 🫡
Not sure if a dig against capitalism, or just STFU slaves!
I’m with you, I can’t really comprehend the underlying message of this.
I’m leaning towards him being pro-war because this is the price they must pay to maintain American capitalism, but then other commenters seem to have read it differently
Well he also said "Our prices are rising because of Putin’s actions,” “There isn’t enough supply. And the bottom line is if we want lower gas prices we need to have more oil supply right now.”
So still could be read either way of: support the oil war efforts or this is how fairmarket works
But the American dream says I just have to hustle enough to be able to afford these prices
Dean “sex gifs” Norris
I’ve seen him in a couple films outside ‘BB’, and both were also cop roles. Apparently it’s a known thing with him:
Throughout his career, he has amassed over 154 credits across film and television, including over 40 law enforcement roles.
Hank! No! You can’t criticize capitalism! That’s WOKE Hank! Don’t do it! Hank!!!
For context, he said this in 2022 when gas prices spiked due to Putin invading Ukraine.
Fox viewers probably do view him as woke, because he’s critical of trump and openly supports Democrats. Or maybe they ignore him because it breaks their narrative.
