Did Jon stewart really come out against Luigi? Not that I would be surprised but I also wouldn’t be surprised if he diddn’t.

Edit: he did, damn lib

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml 37 points 2 months ago

[–] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

Jon 'rally for us all to get along but now I spend all my time talking to billionaires' Stewart.

[–] SupFBI@hexbear.net 54 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

He's seen everything get worse over the decades he has been covering this shit. The only thing that hasn't gotten worse is his net worth.

I wonder if this fact alone informs his acceptance of the status quo. curious-marx

[–] SupFBI@hexbear.net 47 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The man's wealth has come from criticising the ruling class yet proffering no solution to it other than vote for the ruling class. Hmmmmm indeed

[–] SupFBI@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

And yes, I AM replying to myself. downbear

[–] Inui@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Is that you /u/Bureaucrat?

[–] blight@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

we are all bureaucrat on this blessed day

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Get a podcast. And make that podcast trueanon. And then name them in your manifesto, and do it

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 39 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't do it though.

But if you do...

[–] Mindfury@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago
[–] Diva@lemmy.ml 22 points 2 months ago

Manifesto is just the 1320 rant, censoring the 'removed-beaters' line for being problematic

[–] Guamer@hexbear.net 40 points 2 months ago

1 of these things is not like the others

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Who are the other two? Vegas cybertruck burner and New Orleans killer I'm guessing?

[–] regul@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

new orleans guy on the left, vegas truck in the middle

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago

When we point out that both political sides are the same the liberals screech and howl.

Yeah, we're being hyperbolic, they aren't technically the same, but they do align on a lot of issues and contribute to the same problems in their own distinct ways. Our bad. Oops.

Then the libs do shit like this.

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago
[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

sicko-wholesome He's getting roasted in the comments.

[–] GrosMichel@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

Honestly. Maybe he's onto something. Maybe one of our beloved dirtbag left podcasts (except YKS) could do something cool for once.

[–] batsforpeace@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

he practicing to inevitably take over from Bill Maher

[–] take_five_seconds@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

one of these things is not like the others

one of these things just doesn't belong

Jon Stewart the guy who has spent his entire life passionately defending the democratic process is…… defending the democratic process. The outrage. Do I agree with his take all the time, no. 95% of his material is much needed discussions and I applaud his stalwart efforts. He fights for the people his way, to me he is a bright spot in an otherwise self serving pool off muck.

[–] john_brown@hexbear.net 48 points 2 months ago

I'm honestly so thankful for his rally to restore sanity, it really did work liberalism

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 46 points 2 months ago

Perhaps the democratic process should be fixed tho

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 45 points 2 months ago

Where is the democracy in this "democratic process", and why does it involve me paying five billion dollars a month to the landlord until I die without healthcare?

[–] Comrade_Mushroom@hexbear.net 44 points 2 months ago

I do believe his heart is in the right place but his libitude is a colossal hindrance. And ultimately, that's what made him an integral part of my growth into a communist, before I was able to learn about it for myself and neoliberalism is all anyone was willing/allowed to present to me; because I think you can only withstand seeing the same ineffectual "Fuck these guys ruining everything and murdering people but we're not really gonna do anything about them" take so many times before you start to think... if the stakes are this high, maybe there's some better way to get good things to happen?

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 37 points 2 months ago

Stewart sucks

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

He's still self serving. He's the liberal that liberals accuse childish communists of being. You know, "complains about status quo but offers no realistic solution".

He offers no realistic solution. You can't vote your way out of your American healthcare system when both parties are against it. You can write to your representative but they don't give a shit unless your specific representative is like Bernie Sanders or something.

He's not fighting for anyone except maybe those firefighters. He's selling you opium so you can feel better about the shitty situation you're in, so you can hope for a better future, yet it will never come because the American system cannot be saved. It's like telling a terminal patient that they're going to get better soon, I promise. It's cruel.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

Remember folks, if you're a juror in a trial and the judge gives you instructions that limits what you can choose for the defendent, you don't have to follow those instructions.

[–] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 10 points 2 months ago

inb4 at least one of the two attacks recently was encouraged by some alphabet soup agency so the usual libs can tie Luigi to a "wave of lone wolf terrorism" to deflect from the shoddy case the feds have on him at the moment.

[–] Fishroot@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago

Does he come out against the protesters during the Arab Spring or?
