A very interesting analysis of "Ted Lasso," Kirk. I look forward to part 2.
It strikes me that your concept of "internalizing the oppressor" is a more nuanced (and dangerous?) variation of Stockholm syndrome. A natural human defense mechanism, perhaps?
Unfortunately, I don't have a Roy Kent in my life to signal me when it’s appropriate to toggle into hegemonic prick mode, so I tend to eschew it entirely out of an abundance of caution. Am I thereby doing a disservice to some people in my life? That's possible, I suppose, but still safer than the alternative, I think. After all, it seems like even Roy sometimes has trouble knowing which mode is appropriate in the given circumstances.
"Ted Lasso" is a very well-written show. I know that because don't give a rat's ass about soccer, but I care deeply about these characters.
The dart match between Ted and Rupert is absolutely brilliantly done. Thanks for this exposition, Kirk.
