So, Tom represents the WASPs. But he also exists to show how the cycle of abuse works in classist systems like American capitalism.

Shiv dehumanizes Tom because ultimately she believes he's beneath her station. So, Tom internalizes that and passes on the abuse to Craig, oops I mean Greg.

Greg, of course, represents how quickly money and power corrupts. That boy got bougie real quick.

ChatGPT as a cognitive crutch: Evidence from a randomized controlled trial on knowledge retention
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ssaho.2025.102287
"Study suggests that unrestricted ChatGPT use impaired long-term retention, likely by reducing the cognitive effort that supports durable memory. The findings align with cognitive offloading theory and the ‘desirable difficulties’ principle: while AI assistance may ease initial learning, it appears to undermine the effortful processes needed for robust learning."

I can go on about Shiv. She's one of my favorite characters. Second maybe only to Mr. Tom Wambsgans.

Which brings me to their relationship. Holy shit. And believe it or not, I think there's *more* allegory in them hills!

Tom represents the White Anglo-Saxon Protestant WASP power structure—upper middle class, but not rich, less relevant today.

Shiv clearly doesn't respect Tom or his "agricultural walk" lmao. Their dynamic hints that liberalism, absent of class analysis, can often be classist.

Shiv is a compelling choice for Logan. She represents this new world where you must treat women like humans, and cool it on the racial slurs. And it's a world that's costing Logan a lot of money in legal fees.

So Shiv could be a signal that Waystar Roy Co. has *gone woke*. And that could chill the SA allegations.

But, ultimately, Shiv is a woman. I don't think Logan can bring himself to give his empire to a woman. Any boy, isn't that how the cards are dealt for liberalism too sometimes.

@baldur @707Kat Except, if you ask a programmer to make your "app idea" they'll at least tell you why it would be difficult and give you an idea of how much it would cost to do it.

The AI will just give you *something*. So you *feel* productive, because you don't know any better. And they've got your subscription money while you try to keep vibe-coding your way to success.

Siobhan Roy

Shiv represents Liberalism. Or, liberalism's worst impulses.

For example, using social justice for personal gain. Which is messy. Because 2 things are truing at once.

Shiv confronting Gerri about Roman's dick pic wasn't an act of feminism, but a savvy attempt to neutralize Roman; to get him out of the race.

But also, that doesn't make what Roman did any less gross. Just that Shiv understands the social justice movement well, and she uses it to get closer to the throne.

So @xaitax has cracked Microsoft Recall, he's got access to the encrypted database and has automated dumping of screenshots and all text from screenshots.

I've looked at most recent Recall and yep, you can just read the database as a user process. The database also contains all manner of fields which aren't publicly disclosed for tracking the user's activity.

No AV or EDR alerts triggered, world's #1 in infostealer 😅

Also, I recognize that I'm doing a deep dive about a show with mediocre ratings that ended two years ago. And this is probably something I should post in r/succession. So I appreciate you allowing me to invade your feed.

I've searched around and I don't think anyone has done this analysis which is surprising because once you see it it's so obvious.

Anyway thank you 😬

Ah fuck me. It's already noon. Okay, I need to do a little work now. But I'll be back.

I unfortunately have SO much left to say about Succession. I need to get it all out because if I don't I won't stop thinking about it.

So, fuck off (lovingly) for now.

The fact that Connor's girlfriend is a sex worker is *chef's kiss* 🤌 it's commentary on how libertarians are weirdly obsessed with sex work and age of consent.

Also, Connor running for president really shows how neither liberal or conservative powers take Libertarianism seriously.

Connor was never going to take over. But throughout the show he truly thinks he has a chance.

Connor Roy

Connor represents libertarianism. Throughout the show, Connor is often forgot about, and isn't respected by his siblings.

Connor is the embodiment of that famous tweet about libertarians:

“Libertarians are like house cats, they’re convinced of their fierce independence while dependent on a system they don’t appreciate or understand.”

Roman's inability to be intimate with a woman and his gross behavior with Gerri represents incel culture.

Ahhh, I can go on and on with Roman. The show did a great job at depicting the new right wing in American politics through the lens of Roman Roy.

He talks such a big game but ultimately he is just a broken boy who refuses to acknowledge his issues. Instead, he projects them on to everyone else.

If that ain't contemporary conservatism lol
