I also love how he completely catches the "fuck your feelings" crowd off guard. He looks and sounds like one of them, so when he says left wing stuff, they don't even know what to do.

Ol Billy Redbook here

[–] D61@hexbear.net 18 points 2 hours ago

Liberal Joe Rogan? What about Socialist Saul Goodman?

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 37 points 3 hours ago

You love to see it party-parenti

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 55 points 3 hours ago (2 children)

He should mask off and just start saying "Hear me out, communism" like Frankie Boyle did. They've both got the same working class leftwing no-nonsense controversial shtick.

[–] tocopherol@hexbear.net 56 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

I could hear it so well on some podcast, "Fuckin why not communism? They say arm the workers, take the factories from the capitalist pigs, use our profit for what we actually need instead of the leeches taking it for their yachts or whatever. Tell me what's wrong with that."

[–] Satanic_Mills@hexbear.net 30 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Frankie 'friends with David Baddiel' Boyle? He was more than happy to go two feet in on Corbyn, anyone with any platform in this country defaults to the compatible left.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yes. And yes he was shit on Corbyn. He bought into the antisemitism crap fully and wholly.

There are lots of people who advocate for communism that aren't good at analysis and aren't perfect. He does so just about as openly as anyone can.

Bill "Billionaires should be hunted down and shot" Burr is Parenti-posting on main. You love to see it, folks. sicko-wholesome

[–] hexaflexagonbear@hexbear.net 51 points 3 hours ago

He’s always been cool, but last few months have been genuinely surprising.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 23 points 3 hours ago
[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 35 points 4 hours ago (3 children)

I'm more impressed that there are Communists in Surprise, Arizona lmao.

[–] Sinisterium@hexbear.net 6 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

The american socialist party used to score the highest in Oklahoma, Nevada, Montana, Washington, California, Idaho, Florida, Arizona and Wisconsin.

[–] pr0kch0p@hexbear.net 9 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

The spark that begins the collapse of the American empire and a communist revolution will come from the west valley. A surprising (ha!) amount of revolutionary potential exists in the Aves.

[–] dannoffs@hexbear.net 1 points 19 minutes ago

Well, the revolution sure as hell isn't coming from the east valley.

is there an xcancel equivalent for instagram?

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 26 points 3 hours ago

Not really, unfortunately. All the ones that work are closed source I think.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 65 points 4 hours ago

My 10+ year Bill Burr guilty pleasure is all coming together nicely.

[–] Cimbazarov@hexbear.net 39 points 4 hours ago

Coincidentally i was having a shower thought this morning about the similarities between Bill Burr and Michael Parenti

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 71 points 5 hours ago

I bet he could riff a really good bit out of "They're not under-developed, they're over-exploited." timmy-pray

[–] QuillcrestFalconer@hexbear.net 58 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 15 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago) (1 children)

He has to do a training arc to unlock that transformation
