And then put blame on those who are burning .

FIX SOME OF IT ? FIX WHAT ? START WHERE ? ITS A FUCKING HELL OF A WORLD , FUCK FIXING IT , ITS A FUCKING CORRUPT HYPOCRITE SELFISH GREEDY BLOOD SUCKING FUCKING MONSTERS OF A WORLD ,WE ARE A FUCKING VIRUS KEEP FUCKING EATING AND MULTIPLYING SO FUCKING ATTACHED TO LIVE OVER ONE ANOTHER , I STAND BY WHAT SHE SAYS , FUCK THIS WORLD AND EVERYONE IN IT .

Well said, I still like her though.

There is something to be said for authenticity. Maybe others would not put the blame on others but she is true to herself and how she sees the world.@@dramaghost999

​​@@mg-cx5tvNo she just doesn't care. People will blame her, bills due and she'll take it standing up. No shame, no fear. Honestly the best character in the show.

She was amazing in BSG too!

@@BrodyT6464 yeah I know that show is part of the everything that I mentioned.

Both in the scene did an excellent job in this series.

@@BrodyT6464 I remember I read or saw somewhere when they were doing the casting for Battlestar Galactica, one of the producers said "We need to find someone like Mary McDonnell for the role of the President", and someone else suggested "Why don't we just ask Mary McDonnell herself if she'll do it?". Obviously she said yes :)

Roderick PRETENDED to be better than Madeleine cuz he was a husband and father. He pretended to love cuz it was expected of him. Madeline deliberately went in the opposite direction. Never a mother, never a wife. Make no mistake, they were on the same team and on the same page every step of the way. In the end, he was no better and no different from Madeline in any real way. He just pretended otherwise for his childrens’ sake.

​@@kylewilkins6149I guess the point is he wouldn't go anywhere without maddy's brain .

@@mg-cx5tv That is correct, that and her will. She is the driving force since she was obsessed with them getting their "birthright" of Fortunato that she feels they were robbed of because their father never acknowledged them. Roderick notably was much more ambivalent and less ruthless about it all. If Madeline wasn't there, the influence of Annabel Lee would have won out and he'd have been a poet instead.

@@mg-cx5tv This. Madeline is clearly the brains, but Roderick's last words to August is already proof of that he's just as bad without remorse. "I bet I still could've sold it" His words after he confesses that he always knew he'd spiral the world to more misery with his addictive drug and he still would've done it even if he told the masses the downsides of it.

Only Satan would think that an excellent speech, as it's full of lies.

and immoral, psychopathic, ruthless

@@quannguyenle9775the extreme end point of strong and powerful is being ruthless

Toxic feminine characters! Every usher was a piece of shit except Lenore

​@@atgay2640🤡🤡she was a killer who didn't care but herself and try to take out her brother by lying to him that's not powerful, that's a coward

@@Lumensensus well she got more guts than her bro, she tries to protect her brother’s children and she’s not afraid to confront the dangerous supernatural forces at work, dealing with Verna as if she’s her equal while her brother was languishing his ass in poetry and guilt

She is but I think the point of the speech is to highlight how warped her own morals actually are, just because people are easily exploitable it doesn’t give you personally the right to exploit them

@@OliverLee789 does it?! All people have to do to stop people like is not consume thier products, but yet people still buy!

​@valeriawilliams6412 yeah except that's not how people work. Nobody forced Madeline to make money the ways she chose to, nobody forced her to keep making a bigger and bigger fortune, more money than she could ever spend. Yeah, people will buy cheap, morally questionable stuff if it's there, and she made the choice to put it there.

@@OliverLee789- correct. It’s another example of her pushing blame onto other people for her own actions. Like how when Griswold drank the cyanide, she kept saying “How could he not taste it?”

​@@OliverLee789exactly!

I Hope Mary and Bruce work together again

It's all lies, you poor fool.

Yes she is not wrong but she is putting all responsibility on consumer which is wrong. I mean if it would be so one sided then why companies invest so much money on advertisements and samples to entice consumers. Both consumers and makers are at fault .

She is lying, it's not people's fault, capitalism, the love of money, as always, that's the root of all evil.

Yeah mr Genius you’re the only one smart enough to understand it

Please hold a course breaking down the intricacies of Flanagan's writing for us cave people to understand

Yeah man totally. Can you help breakdown Sesame Street for me? It’s too subtle for me to comprehend.

@@breezed2154 so it turns out it wasn't just a street. They were in Elmo's World the whole time!!

She played a president in "Battlestar Galactica" tho.

Omg I’m looking for to !!

@@marryciletti5891 Perhaps, but you don't have a pigtail to pull.

Mama needs a emmy

You don't understand how the world works mate.

​@@JevoKitanoyes i know

​@@JevoKitanoYour dumb ahh 🤡 if you think she's right! You don't know sh*t about economics consumerism 🤡🤡

You're arguing realism in a show about a woman who is the embodiment of fate coming to kill a whole family...

Are they just referring to research? I interpreted her comment as more of a “this is what percentage people buy medications for ED; and the pentagon spends money on it through for soldiers and shit 🤷🏻‍♀️ I could be 100% wrong though! Either way, the number is shocking if it’s true to our world.

She hates humanity, everything coming out of her mouth is bullshit, but it’s a lie she’s told her self to justify her actions.

Where’d you even get the 2.4 billions dollars? I tried to google it and couldn’t find it.

yeah .. sure

The schmuck that wrote it must've thought it profoud.

L take 🤡

True, very shallow and edgy. However I perceived it as a pathetic attempt of negative character with hardly any redeeming qualities at somehow justifying her loathsome behaviour during the series ("Everyone is awful, why shouldn't I). It was probably not intended by the screenwriter, but works that way.

Abortion is not the subject, abortion was how to get the audience's attention, the point was a 200+ years notion that following capitalism and the industrial revolution every new generation is here for nothing but cheap labour force and consumerism. It is a grim and ominous notion but I cannot disagree with it, it seems that society especially today is stripped naked from any higher ideals or any sense of community, brotherhood, humanity. The screenwriter also touches that by mentioning that despite mankind having the tools to solve poverty, hunger, disease they are more obsessed about erectile dysfunction which is a crude way to say that people are addicted to hedonism and fleeting desires. That is my take from this scene.

The entire series is filled with politics lol.

I would agree but that was always her character. She despised most men in general and refused to be under one. I don't even know if she liked any of her nephews. The only 3 people she seemed to actually like were her brother, their lawyer, and Lenoir.

That's because you're a baby brained simpleton who doesn't realize that politics touches every aspect of our lives

The whole story revolves around politics.
