@jenny2x4 This was literally episode 2 of the entire show, and Rainn Wilson is a leftist. He's arguably one of the most politically left on the entire show.
A cartoon and one show aren't a real defense. Sometimes you just have to admit that the far left is insane and ruins things.
MAGA will be remembered as the most embarrassing political phenomenon ever to stain the history of America, just a gutter movement that elevated the worst, dumbest, most vile among us
@ben_issen This would be believable if the American techbros weren't some of the most incompetent, culture-less, vapid losers that we've seen in a very, very long time.
No they won’t. The tech oligarchs are the most useless set of elites imaginable. No set of rich people in American history have been as useless a drain on society as they have
The psychological immune system of people on the left to the idea that their side did something wrong over the last 15 years is astounding. It requires turning cancel culture cases into caricatures that everyone had it coming (as long as you rewrite the facts of what actually happened). And of course they have to jump to the straw man argument that anyone saying cancel culture is real saying what they like Donald Trump.
Buddy, I've been fighting Trump for a year and a half now since before he was actually re-elected. It is possible to believe in a world in which the very powerful Victorian left and the populist right are pretty terrible on tolerance for opinions they dislike.
who are you arguing with? all of that can be true in parallel to the absurd victim culture that developed around this where people with massive audiences for their work use ludicrous hyperbole like “unpersoned” to describe what happened. I got dogpiled unfairly during this era! i was there. i just don’t cry about it publicly all the time for seal claps.
Hey Tim, I’m happy to be an ally on free speech issues. But I literally wrote a book about cancel culture, and I’m not going to participate in the collective amnesia surrounding what happened between 2014 and 2024. We can debate causes, consequences, scope, and definitions. What we can’t honestly do is pretend it never happened.

Then: “Joe, you did such a great job! You answered every question, you knew all the facts!”
Now: “As I watched it, I thought, 'Oh, my God, he's having a stroke.' And it scared me to death.”
Incredible.
Can we be done with the pretense that Republican primary voters vote for MAGA candidates in spite of their apostasy and corruption? The transgression is a feature, not a bug. It tells voters they don't care about law or morality. Only power.
Kevin Hart is in Tony Hinchcliffe's corner after the controversial comic was blasted for a George Floyd "joke" during Kevin's roast.

Nah dude. You, and other billionaires, are a huge negative on society
Increasing economic inequality in the industrialized world has decreased quality of life, birth rates, and life expectancy. It has decimated our political system, weakened science, and ravaged the environment
A student confronted Milton Friedman with the Ford Pinto scandal — Ford sold 2 million cars knowing the fuel tank would rupture.
Friedman's response was: “Suppose it cost a billion dollars per person. Should Ford have installed it then?”
@_bezpilotnik lol. Nope.
Funny how the self-appointed revolutionaries with cushy jobs are always the one who want to shut other people up. Sounds pretty reactionary to me, no?
I love this trick from baby boomers. Make things insanely unaffordable and do not raise workers’ wages. Then, complain that young people spend too much money on frivolous activities like eating lunch.
This is why the shift to everyone hating each other has been so hard for millennials.
Many of us went to diverse schools where everyone basically got along. Sure, jokes were made & bad people existed, but there was a general code of respect.
Social media + rage bait ruined that
@JustRockContent I was at a funeral in 2013 and I was talking about this show with my cousin, who's a few years older. Turns out she was backstage for this!
She said Dave Mustaine became the bartender, pouring everyone drinks, until he suddenly disappeared. He passed out cold behind the bar!😂
Yeah, hoarding $10T instead of spending it on solving world hunger or improving health care for poor people is comic book villain style evil, narcissistic behavior
Being a good human is living a prosperous life & giving what you can to help others
My theory is that if you eliminate the "but what about YOUR side?!" argument, modern political discourse in America crumbles (because you'd have to actually defend policy instead of dismissing everything as "political hypocrisy").
Political independents destroy binary politics.
