    Kendall - better at public speaking
    Roman - better on one on one talks
    Shiv - better at shiving people in the back
    Connor - better at being interested in politics from a very young age

      He also almost blew up the Pierce deal before it ever started. I know it blew up in the end anyways, but regardless...just having good instincts doesn't make one qualified. He also had to have Gerri explain to him why digging up the homeless guy with the dicc tattoo from Ken's bachelor party could be bad for him too, not only for Ken. Roman's an idiot. And a terrible idiot at that. Let's not overthink this. Having no shame and telling people whatever they want to hear is easy... a la Donald Trump. There is no effing way that Logan hands over keys of the company to Roman, who he thinks (to quote him directly) "is a moron". Plus he secretly hates all of his kids anyways...they're utilities to him. So none of them are just having that seat handed to them. They'll need to take it, and "it'll be hostile, hostile, hostile."

    0:30 onwards is where the dialogue goes nuts on how vague yet... communicative it is. I'll try to translate:
    R: "Fascism is on a rise, but it's also generally unpopular. Can you handle balancing that?"
    M: "Look, I have a lot of Fascist beliefs. I'm sticking to them".... "and I hate the liberal belief that democracy is perfect"
    M: "See, we white people/ruling class have had a stake in controlling the nation for years, and then immigrants show up and vote me out. Maybe they should contribute first before they do that."
    R: "Then who gets to be a part of America?"
    M: "White people. Maybe someday others, but not now."
    R: "Okay. How does ATN play into this? We know we're old and you're getting attention from young people, but you still need our base of old conservatives"
    M: "Are those old conservatives really going to vote against me?"
    R: "No, but the vote could swing. We can help with that".
    M: "And I can help you bring in young viewers"
    ....
    M: "Where do you stand in Logan's empire"
    R: "I'm not gonna answer that and deflect: I think ATN needs to, going into the future, pull in the youth crowd away from tech and stop relying on the old conservatives. We'll do it with a delicate touch: and ideally you, Mencken, will be in the centre of it"
    Succession is so great because, if it were my dialogue, it would be a dry boring peace of crap. Instead, it layers what people say with subtext and metaphor.

    I can't quite decide the motivation behind Roman's speech. Either he's saying what he thinks Mencken wants to hear (and nailing it) or he feels like he's finally found someone to talk to where he can really speak freely. I find the latter a lot more interesting and a LOT more frightening.

    • @amun1040
      @amun1040 2 ปีที่แล้ว +166

      He is basically lubing him up for his Dad. Both Menken and Logan were too proud to talk to each other, Menken was catching Logan's attention by insulting him, but also cosying up to Roman, and Logan found Menken a good face for his network who would be too dirty to stand to Logan in case of any problems with the GA, but yet Menken was too small for him to approach without losing the upper-hand so he sent Roman.
      Roman here just showed him how profitable would it be if he basically submits to Logan, they would let him do whatever he wants ideologically, he just have to answer to one man and make his fathers life easier. And we see Menken bringing him a can of coke as a sign of submission "anointed with a coke"

    • @Conns2239
      @Conns2239 2 ปีที่แล้ว +208

      Roman is looking ahead and thinks Jaryd is the kind of shot in the arm that ATN News needs to appeal to the new-age younger conservatives. Fox news has an average viewer age of around 50 - 60 and its commercials are aimed towards them which is why you always hear jokes about bedpan and catheter ads. Meanwhile, the main push for younger conservatives and more far-right consumption is on the internet and social media. Think the Proud Boys and Alex Jones viewers.
      Roman wants ATN to be the driving force behind these people and wants ATN to "modernize" to attract them back. Jaryd is their candidate and if ATN becomes the epicenter for all things new-wave right-wing with him at the center. Those commercials stop being about bedpans and start being about dick pill and bone broth because ATN will have tapped into the wingnuts that watch TickTok and TH-cam political nutjobs all day by giving them the "deepstate conspiracy hour" that they like on Facebook all-day already.
      Roman isn't pushing this because he believes in it. He doesn't believe in anything, because he's grown up 1% and this shit won't ever effect him (just like he said to Shiv in the episode). No, he wants to straddle the country with a pseudo-fascist and send the Republican party's discord into the gutter because it will boost ATN. That's the only thing he cares about, which is what makes him so dangerous.

    The thing I find so fascinating about this scene is how their approach to fascism isn’t based on their actual beliefs. The only desire they have is power, so they use the fears of the layman to get it.
    SPOILERS
    The scene with Kendall and Logan where Logan says “I know things about people or I wouldn’t turn a buck, not necessarily nice things,” ties into this. What Logan knows is this: humans are fearful creatures of survival, who have always had an enemy to defeat in order to stay alive. In the past two elections, it’s been shown that voters have chosen to vote against a candidate instead of for one, on both sides of the aisle.

    This was the most terrifying scene in the whole show…so far.

    This is like if Trump was clever and had an ideology.

      Lol guy became President of the United States while everyone mocked him saying he didn't have a chance. Jeb Bush came from a family with 2 previous presidents, plenty of money, had a good head on his shoulders, and all the connections and still got beat out by a guy who said he 'grabs em by the pussy' when #MeToo was in it's prime. People make fun of the guy all the time but would never get anywhere near the success he's had. People don't realize that he was clever because he was one of the first candiates to talk to the people like another person and not talk to them like politician.

      Trump is very clever but it’s his foresight that is terrifying because it comes true.

      Mencken is more like if you had Jordan Peterson but with Richard Spencer’s ideology c.2017.

    I was thinking about this scene and I believe this season is about the rising for Roman and the downfall for Shiv.

      Shiv is going to be the next Kendall. He did say it to her face.
