Even for a shitlib like him this is a huge step forward in admitting he was a bootlicker all along.
we do not hate cops enough. the part of this about the pigs entrapping mostly special ed. kids and then describing it to the local news as busting a local drug ring operating out of area high schools was fucking sickening. it’s good agitprop that they focused on one autistic kid who was entrapped into buying half a joint off an unhoused man. that’s a particularly universal case to highlight for people’s sympathies. the innocence of it combines well with its innocuousness; i’ve given a homeless man a joint before for free because he asked for one and i lived close by.
every single centrist lib that watches this will at least come away with the knowledge that the cops are preying on basic human empathy of vulnerable people, even white ones.
Related, from over 20 years ago but this man eventually got transferred back to England and got a Royal Pardon to get out of his 99 year sentence.
reminds me of the case where they framed an arabic man for trying to blow up to a bridge but the guy had a severe mental disability (like down syndrome or something) and he just wanted to hang out in a boat with his new friends from the internet
or the poor arabic guy who was depressed and considering taking his own life and the fbi informant posing as a women interested in him online time and time again tried to convince him to take others out with him and he kept saying it was against islam and they arrested him anyways
it amazes me the morons who think that guys like oliver are ‘sided’ as if he doenst point out the asinine things that both parties do, just as the daily show does. its not his fault if conservative idiots just happen to be the dumber of the two idiotic groups.
its only conservatives who will literally provide cover for pedophiles and more because they cant ever be wrong, ever.
Remember how the Dems undermined and abandoned all support for MeToo when the accusations at Biden were levelled?
Magician pointing to Tara Reade: “Introducing the invisible woman.” Media: “But we can see her.” Tara Reade: “Joe Biden SA’dme.” Media: “Oh wow! We literally can’t see her anymore.”
I’ve heard tons of russiajacketing in her case, that basically she’s a Russian asset
As is every inconvenient truth for the Dems. Why bother fixing or even addressing when you can count on the racism of libs by going “really convenient for those orcs, am I right?”
Oliver is sided. He believes in parliamentary capitalism and you can see his bias when he talks about countries that don’t follow that model to the letter.
I got a slightly scarred lung from the covid i got after Biden said everything was fine and the science agreed
Also, he still owes me $1,200
Biden armed a genocide.
This is a communist instance
He’s on the side of capital, just like both halves of the US uniparty.
Liberals like Oliver exist to make the unconscionable palatable to the general public. He normalizes genocide, deprivation, civilian-targeted sanctions, absurd imperialist propaganda campaigns, internalized state violence, and punches left.
In function, the “conservatives” just use the tools given to them by both parties to be nakedly reactionary. The “non-conservatives” (who are generally also quite conservative and reactionary) still enact the same or worse horrors but they do it with slick PR so the people to whom they appeal either don’t notice, forget, or rationalize it. Notice that Dems have literally no agenda with any mass appeal, just “we’re not them”. They aren’t attempting a serious political program to achieve results in the interest of the public. If they were, they’d fire all their strategists from the last 20 years and decapitate the party. But actually, those strategists and leaders are the party’s reason to exist, they’re the closest connections to ruling class interests and eagerly reflect them.
Oliver’s main draw is that he presents topics as complex and as doing a deep dive that miraculously fits into something like a 40-60 minute segment. He cites “experts” (ranging from actual experts presenting high quality information to outright bullshitters or propagandists), he has a writing team making things comedic (though they aren’t particularly creative…), he takes on a sympathetic affectation and appeals to you the same way whether the message is “climate change is real” or “sometimes we just have to bomb brown people”.
Oh, and his wife is a war criminal and by liberals’ own standards should be tried at the Hague.
Why is it these people always turn out to be related? Married, or children of, what the hell? Ghislaine Maxwell’s father was a founder of Israel.
Oh in this case it’s even weirder, she’s in the FBI, she’s a republican and he met her while covering the republican national convention for the daily show
It’s all one big club
You are like an ant spending your whole life on a cracker, convinced you have travelled the Earth, if you think the two parties are the opposite “sides”.
You are
like an ant spending your whole life ona cracker
He absolutely believes that Democrats would just do it better.
