my money's on the opposite happening: a bunch of teen wokes driving a #brand's twitter manager to suicide because of a poorly thought out tweet. it'll be much more of a desirable outcome

Satire had political power when it was literally seditious, but since comedy has been institutionalized it loses any revolutionary potential it once had. Now it's just masturbatory. Political comedy is preaching to the choir.

Well, I don't think it's nice to imply that Brass Eye has anything to do with TDD / TCR. That show actually was seditious as Pener emphasized.

The worse thing to happen to comedy was the absurd belief that it mattered in any real sense

i don't agree with Norm MacDonald when he says that it's impossible for socially conscious comedy to be funny, but this phase that we're in is bad for both comedy and mass politics. saying John Oliver's show is "comedy" is inaccurate because some people watch and regurgitate it for the same reason that other people do that with fox news. Amy Schumer and Sarah Silverman were better when they were doing shock value stuff, but since they adapted to the comedy landscape, they've gotten worse

at some point, "resistance comedy" is going to go the way of prop comedy and carlos mencia, but it needs to die sooner rather than later

edit: and that goes for entertainment in general as well. i don't like Taylor Swift, but i have respect for the fact that she's not making her music political just because that's what the current pop culture zeitgeist demands

Actually since the Prussian Blue girls are liberals now, supposedly, I can imagine some idiot trying to bring them back to support the #Resistance. Surely would be less of a stretch than Bannon.

Also, Tay Sway has no creative control over her media output, and her public face requires her to be absolutely apolitical. She doesn't have a choice in the matter. How do you not get this?
