I'm trying to build my comm so there is always a place for people to post when their post doesnt6 exactly fit anywhere else. Please contribute if you can. Just post, like, a dad joke there if you can't think of anything.

  • Colbert satirized conservatives for years and conservatives ate the onion. You have to keep escalating otherwise it will fizzle out.

  • Lets start with southpark. I was like 10 when it came out and obviously, to me, it defines a certain part of my childhood. Im not a die hard fan but, yeah, when those children started cussing it was all I wanted. So, when you say southpark doesnt hit, it hasn't hit me specifically for years. Trey and Matt just phone this shit in. Its a conduit for their current frustration and thats not what it was originally.

    In fact, the fact that southpark can be what it is today is a major shift in society and is progress. At release people were crushing pearls over the most benign things in the show. It changed culture. Trey and Matt had an impact but Ill agree with you that its not as meaningful, right now. The fact is the culture around southpark is stale. It preaches but only preaches and honestly some of the messages are lazy and not that important.

    The problem isn't south park. The problem isn't Trey and Matt. The problem is time moved on and we haven't. Frankly, being a millennial, I probably wont ever move on. The people who get to decide comedies future are the kids. Its always been the kids. The kids need to decide what youtube sensation is going to be the voice that pierces their parents internet fortified emotional shell.

    A while back i wrote rhe edgiest thing I could think of and I dont mean it literally but the truth in the words are bleak:

    paraphrasing

    If the children of tomorrow want to be on the right side of history dont start a punk band. Smother your parents with a pillow while they sleep.

    Me, Im on the way out. I got the best era in all of human history so far. I dont have any children but boy would they be mad that their parents fucked around and they are the ones finding out.

  • Ok, what's the alternative? We ignore the absurdity around us and let authoritarians off the hook? No, Ill keep the satire. I think you just got a case of, "get off my lawn."

    Its understandable but its also just as detestable. Youre the master of your domain, consume only that which you would like to consume.

    When you remove the veneer of comedy you'll find lots of anger. Thats why Lewis Black struck a chord. We need an appropriate outlet for the anger before we are compelled only by bloodthirst and we are staring at our blood soaked hands thinking, "what have I done?"

  • His next stunt doesnt have to be orange face but he needs to ratchet up. What needs to happen is the right wing media has to continuously act so incredulous, feining outrage, the most daft mother fucker on the planet can look at them and say, "what?"

    Is that possible, I dont think so, but unless you go all in you'll never find out. At this point there is nothing left to lose.

  • A Gen Xer sold his company for $1.6 billion. He kept less than $100 million and gave the rest away because he doesn't 'believe in billionaires'

  • Just seems sick to build a company off the backs of your employees then say, "you know what take the equity and spend it elsewhere who cares about the people who got me here. They have been gifted a job like the good servants they are."

  • No, just distribute ownership amongst the workers. Keep a majority share if youre worried they arent responsible enough.

  • What dont you get? Its numbers. Do you think everyone you meet is a secret leftist that just needs someone to enlighten them?

    You know what. Thats fine, maybe there is some truth there if there was someone who could properly communicate the good ideas leftists harbor. Except, no one has even started to consider how to do it. Instead we have clout chasers vying for views so they can escape capitalism the only real way available to them, succeeding at it.

  • Every anarchist should be worried about becoming the thing they detest. If the anarchist ever wants to actualize their ambitions they have to rationalize their ideas.

    Just because the children you interact with wear an A and pretend they are out there punching NAZIs doesnt mean they know shit.

  • Sorry, no, leftists would still need to broaden their tent to include those, "americans too in love with serving shitty people" in their revolution but as YOU demonstrate, they never will. You would plan a revolution and start a terrorist organization.

  • I need to look at all the presidents stats now. Im almost positive a normal slightly above average person cannot do the job successfully.

    Biden maybe except his "old" stat was maxed.

    Jimmy Carter maybe but he couldn't secure a second term. Not sure what all the factors are there.

    Clinton? His perv stats were at unacceptable levels but he did make it through a second term.

    Obama was maybe the most balanced president except racism.

  • Ill believe civil war is a thing when I see it. You cant get people on the left to agree that we should take power away from the GOP any way possible. These arent the type of people rushing out to die for each other.

    And if youre speaking from a place of planned chaos: you severely underestimate the complacency of the american people.

  • Isn't that hyperbole. I dont think Newsom has taken the stance trans people should be murdered. Ill check but the question going forward is how do I let everyone know youre not a serious person? Ill do some thinking about it but way to discredit yourself.
