Nice to get an international perspective. Generally agree with what he’s saying though the audience didn’t seem entirely on board at times.
Yeah, he’s grown up as mixed kid in apartheid South Africa. And the backlash is mainly concentrated towards Bill Burr and to an extent, Pete Davidson. No one cares about Jimmy Carr or Russell Peters.
This is why Trevor Noah will never eclipse Jon Stewart. Jon Stewart doesn’t have perfect politics, but the demons that haunt him would never let him give up the moral high ground so casually.
Both are really insightful comedians. Jon’s tilts is a little more pro-American so he’s generally well loved in the US but Trevor has travelled much more and generally has a more broad based worldview which be demonstrates well here.
The same Jon Stewart who spent most of the last year bashing Biden and democrats instead of warning about Trump 2.0 and possibly contributed to voter apathy, that one?
He has moral principles and he sticks to them. That’s what is meant by the ‘moral high ground.’ Early in his career he was invited on a CNN political propaganda show called ‘Crossfire,’ and his evisceration of Tucker Carlson on that show went viral and lead directly to its cancellation. The legendary video is still available if you search “Jon Stewart on Crossfire” and you can infer his moral code from his pleas to the hosts. Still refusing to play propagandist for any political party 20 years later is evidence his principles have not changed.
Yes, that Jon Stewart.
Cool. How’d that work out in the long run? Project 2025 is deployed in his country. Does he still think both parties are the same?
How did that work out in the long run? I don’t know, but I hope somewhere in that long run you’ll look back on all of these comments you’ve made and cringe.
Doubt. Maybe being an outsider gives me a perspective that you’re unwilling to consider 🤘
Flat-earthers share your self-importance as they also treat their outsider status as evidence of their social value. But one can’t take a step in sites like Reddit without having to scrape centrist ‘contrarians’ like you off the bottom of their shoe.
Your ‘perspective’ (i.e. criticism from the left is the real reason centrists are losing ground to fascism) is much too common on the large dying media sites to not have been considered, and bringing clearly uninspired and bad ideas to this new platform means you deserve all of the downvotes you receive.
🥱
