Yeah, it just does feel creepy though.

I'm amazed at how much of a nose dive much of comedy has taken since Trump's election and the sort of opinions we're seeing now. I guess John Oliver on his show tonight said something like this:

"He's [Trump] gone [on vacation] but your life is still a torture chamber of fear and panic."

John...you've not been effected in the least bit by Trump's election, and more than likely? The same can be said of your audience. You make 2 million dollars per year and have a net worth of 5 million dollars. You have complete freedom to criticize the leader of your country to your heart's content. . You're not someone being deported, you're not an lgbt youth, you're not someone who's poor and struggling to make ends meet Please get off the cross.

true. but i like out of all the dipshits, i still like Oliver. he makes some good points on real issues and its not just "look how many jokes i can steal" or "look at me make lovely hot takes" like bee or handler.

I think the problem I'm seeing is grouping people who support trump/are right wingers with you know...actual neo-nazi's, kkk-types.

That's not an SPLC problem, but a broader problem I've seen from various people on my side of the aisle. Trump and his base is not some new phenomenon. When I hear and his supporters speak? I am not hearing anything different from what I've heard the Rush Limbaugh's of the world were saying back in the day.

But the online presence of guys like Richard Spencer? Yep. That's something I'm VERY disappointed to see being relevant.

yeah and no. i think the alt right are somewhat openly worse the limbaugh. limbaugh is smart enough to know he doesnt fully want what he gurgles about because he would be out of job or fired or some poo poo. alt right are mostly sadbrains, weird fringe race purists or con man who indirectly got their man in office. but they are vocal in public now and they know how to fight libs(or at least dumb ones) the biggest problem with the lefts/"lefts" response is its a bit like the story of the boy who cried wolf. they cried nazi/racist/sexist/etc so much that people either dont believe them or dont care. and now the wolves are out on the loving street and libs are too busy screaming about wonder woman or media violence or defending idiots to care. the alt right depresses the gently caress out of me espcialy seeing picks for their giant super rally tomorrow.

How do you in theory...weaken these sorts of groups? It's obvious we've isolated the cause (Upper classSJW's, The Arthur Chu's of the world, Call out cultures) and the effect (Alt. Right, Trump being elected). But there's gotta be something that we can do to ensure we're back at a point where things are weakened in that realm.

The alt right will probably fall on it's own, especially if trump keeps loving himself all the time. Angry lovely stuff like them can't keep stable forever and will turn on each other. THe wokes will eventually burn out, but probably not fast enough.

I always felt David Pakman kinda nailed their culture in this piece.


I think it's also made the idiots that we saw lighting torches last night feeling empowered as well.

In Milo's defense? While his values are certainly bad (Millennial Rush Limbaugh), I will say that the "actual" alt right can't stand him because of his sexuality and his race (jewish, greek). Same could even be said about Shapiro and a few others. That's right about the point where conservative ends and white nationalist begins to honest.

Perhaps it'd be easier if we just attached "conservative" to those people's beliefs, and just flat out called Richard Spencer a neo-nazi. The all encompassing "Alt right" banner is not a good thing in some ways.

I can't blame anyone for saying "stick to sports" any more. I think people are about to go insane in this country and are BEGGING for some sort of distraction from their daily lives. I don't think it's coming from a place of racism or being apathetic about matters. Rather I think a good portion of those people feel like they have little to no power on the subject and just are tired.

The obsession with the Kaepernick story is bordering on...bizarre. I don't think people who follow football actually care nor would they want on him their team.

It just reminds me of Nick Mullen on CumTown talking about how Comedy was about to go way down the shitter in the age of trump. The "BUT SERIOUSLY GUYS, THINGS ARE hosed UP" faux outrage is wearing thin on people.

i dont get why people view him as this political super star. yeah he didnt jerk off and instead took a knee/sat/whatever when the national anthem played. cool/good, he made a statement and triggered fucktard conservatives. thats it. he also happens to be a terrible football player apperently. idk

Trying to think of a good way of saying this.

I think the ideas that guys like FDR, Teddy, Washington and Lincoln are worth idolizing, remembering. They themselves were merely men, and made a lot of mistakes. But there's a lot of ideas that we should, as Americans, as Human Beings take from some of their accomplishments.

I think FDR is currently my favorite president because he was probably the closest we've ever gotten to someone enacting true socialist reforms on various matters in regards to the economy. Social Security and various "New Deal" programs have been his legacy. Those are things I wish this country would go forward with and bring back.

The current DNC has no interest in using him as an icon and it's bullshit. They're more likely to go :allears: at Reagan than ever say anything good about the most successful, popular democratic president that has ever lived.

FDR also did interment camps and a lot of those programs didn't help minorities. Those are legitimate criticisms of the man, and it's why he's not the 2nd coming of Jesus Christ. My hope would be when someone looks at those various monuments dedicated to those men that they would feel inspired/compelled to continue the good of what they stood for, and expand on it.

pretty much. i am history major and you learn that poo poo right away. i am gonna sound like an alt right dipshit but i dont like the politicization history(and no its the the "evil sjw liberals/colleges doing it) its bad ways of saying it. its more, i hate the super black and white duality alot of people use as lense, left and right.(and the left left does it too, zinn included, he is great starting point for learning a more populist history and the pulling back the myth making, but he makes every rich guy in history the evilest gently caress who ever lived and goes AmerKKKa alot, he isnt wrong persay but he will make sorta lovely people look like magical angels just as much as the right does.)

Like i love Teddy Roosevelt even though i am pretty left leaning guy. he did a lot of lovely things but he also did alot of good that pushed progressive ideas even if he wasnt debs. and stuff evolves over time, for example the animal conservation movement. for a long time speciese were mostly being conserved through taxadermy or drawings. hell most of the conservationists thought this was good thing, they assumed animals would all be killed off for fashion trends or hunting or art. so they decided it would be best to keep them preserved so when they were all dead we would know what they looked like. eventualy a bunch them realized there mistakes and modern conservation was born. history is complex like that.

basicaly the right tries to make all these people magical super christian saints who did all that was right and good, and the left take issue with that. the problem is part of the left burried it self up its own rear end in a top hat so basicaly you have to be sinless to not be "problamatic" and teachable. its probably why they like fictional brands so much.
