Normally I'm a proponent of the "Man's Gotta Eat" theory, but these people have enough money to turn down this shit and be fine so they can sit and swivel

the only way they can salvage this is if they go up and start talking shit until they get forcibly kicked off stage. like i want to see ten back to back sets of dismembering journalist jokes and shitting on neom.

I'm honestly surprised that event got as memory-holed as it did

Like, the audio got leaked

There is audio out there of a man being dismembered while he was still alive

And we know who did it and why it was done and everyone just went "Ha ha, Dubai chocolate is so good"

The general public in the US (and, I would assume, the west more broadly) are treatlerites. They don't care about anything happening in the world unless there's propaganda telling them about it 24/7. Obviously the US government doesn't give a shit about one journalist being killed, so there's nothing from them, and it takes a live-streamed genocide to get comparable propaganda from the masses against Israel.

Over the past few years I've realized that I hate comedians.

[–] CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net 23 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The only ones I can stand are ypg-brace and liz-punk who are professional comedians that cannot be sued because everything they say is a joke

I've realized that I really really hate satirists, especially the ones who delude themselves that they're smart and politically aware but are actually just default pro-imperial stooges

I don’t even view Brace and Liz as comedians. I think I am referring to stand-ups more than anything tho, they always eventually lean into being anti-woke, pissing and moaning about being cancelled, and eventually taking millions to do a comedy show in Saudi Arabia.

Satirists too tho, like you said, they put themselves on such a high horse because they have the capacity to minimize problems through absurdity. Satire can be fun, don’t get me wrong, but it’s the SNL type shit that where the general public feels like they are doing something by laughing at Darrell Hammond doing the same impression of another president.

after this I have forgiven larry david for the crypto ad

tbh if he was a stand up comedian he'd probably be there too
