At least John Oliver has done some nice pieces about trans people I guess?
John oliver did a segment about blackmailing a few republican senators. His show is deeply anti-corruption and the writers are as terminally online as I am.
Yes, he has quite some good videos that critic the current system but he is by no means on the revolutionary left
John Oliver is doing a hell of a lot more to help than internet self-styled “revolutionary leftists” are.
I don’t disagree on that. He has quite an audience and therefore influence and budget to do stuff and he does great stuff. Many Social Democrats can learn from him. I don’t criticize him but at the end of the day he’s a Left Liberal which is my favorite kind of liberal. But he won’t fundamentally change the system.
I have a different perspective on him since I live in Europe. Many things he wants are no brainers for me (like universal healthcare, how is that not normal in a rich country). Still I live in a liberal, capitalist democracy just like the US, just degrees better.
He doesn’t seem like a total shitlib, unlike the other three. He seems like the perfect guy to make libs think a bit farther than they otherwise would, and I can’t exactly fault him for that.
True. He is (or can be) part of the pipeline to the left
And Hillary is? I thought the whole thing was satire
No, none of these are. Yes, it’s satire. It’s just that John Oliver is the one person in the image I have something positive to say about
IIRC he said Universal health care is like the only option. I could be wrong but from what I remember
I will not rest until this country fully accepts Lockheed Socialism
Yes yes we must nationalize Lockheed I agree
1: Nationalize it
2: Retrain its workers and give them jobs more beneficial to humanity and then
3: Dismantle it
It was coming right for us!
Nice username Mr xxxSexMan69xxx
If you have 69 in your username, you are either 54 or 12. I do not believe OP is 54.
Not the revolution we need but the revolution we get
“Is this a whole personality?”
No, it’s something you carry inside you. You know, values.
Jesus fucking Christ.
At least John Oliver is kinda alright.
Seems like this community really despises Vaush for no fucking reason huh
I wouldn’t say “no reason”.
I’m not gonna do a whole Vaush teardown here, but it’s amazing how he always seems to align himself against a lot of the other leftist YouTubers I have watched and respected for years.
His obsessive need to tout his “rightness” on all matters is extremely abrasive and off-putting. He likes to cite diversity of tactics as a reason for engaging in debate the way he does, but then also doesn’t respect anyone that can’t debate their position. I’ve read a lot of philosophy and political commentary over the years, I know what I believe, but if you put me up against him I’d crumble on the spot. I couldn’t debate to save my life, it’s a particular skill. Watching him angrily yell at other leftists is not furthering the points he thinks it is.
Being able to win a debate doesn’t make you right, and losing one doesn’t make you wrong. He’s just another pig in the mud.
nah I hate vaush cause he fucks horses and says the n word
Spoken like a true fan 😌
fan of what
You know the leftist he “alligns himself against” attack him first in 99% of the cases right
Great breakdown on why even if Vaush wasn’t a piece of shit (he is) his debate format is inherently problematic. Ben Shapiro can win debates, I used to copy his style when I was in debate class. Not completely, but definitely used the speaking at a weirdly fast pace to make it hard to follow
The comments here is basically the weirdest conversation I’ve seen about him, basically everyone either defending or criticising him is just getting upvoted and not downvoted.
Vaush is a fucking dolt.
The West Wing deserves better than this tbh
