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
Not the revolution we need but the revolution we get
Nice username Mr xxxSexMan69xxx
If you have 69 in your username, you are either 54 or 12. I do not believe OP is 54.
No 12 year old is bringing up Sorkin’s The West Wing.
It was coming right for us!
“Is this a whole personality?”
No, it’s something you carry inside you. You know, values.
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
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
Vaush is a fucking dolt.
Jesus fucking Christ.
At least John Oliver is kinda alright.
Who is the last one?
The West Wing deserves better than this tbh
