Soooooo Hamilton is gonna be on Disney+ here in like 6 days? I think? What is time, anyway. I'm gonna watch it. But since it was 4 years ago when the show had its big moment...

We all remember that there are legit issues with the way Miranda treated Natives when writing the show, right? https://nativeappropriations.com/2016/08/where-are-the-natives-in-hamilton.html
And there was legit criticism of the way the show engaged with race https://slate.com/culture/2016/04/a-hamilton-critic-on-why-the-musical-isnt-so-revolutionary.html
And also white mainland USians need to stay the fuck out of any intra-community discussion among the Puerto Rican diaspora re Miranda and his politics.
K? K.
Also holy shit how is "How to be a fan of problematic things" almost 10 years old? WHAT IS TIME.

Anyway. I'm kind of excited because there was no way I was ever going to get to see the show live. But the the author of the biography that Miranda based the show on is CONSERVATIVE AS FUCK and it shows in his worship of the free market and wall street as unmitigated goods.
Fundamentally Miranda shows us some very revealing things about his own politics when he picks and chooses THAT Hamilton bio as his source and then further picks and chooses incidents to portray and how to portray them.
