But it has been replaced with smumor (smart humor). With a more educated populace, interested in political topics and the social climate, humor is better used as a medium for teaching instead of just cheap laughs.

The blending of entertainment and serious political discussion lends itself to low-information voters and propaganda. The Trump era of punditry (regardless of your opinion of Trump) really drove this point home.
I, for one, welcome our corporate overlords' newfound avenue of expanding their stranglehold on political discourse in America.

smumor gave it away
based smumorposter
two reasons I don't like it:
1. people, especially americans will laugh and clap and whoop for jokes that make the point they want to hear even if the joke is shit. Topical comedy shows where the writers are just soapboxing their opinions and doing the bare minimum to shape them into a joke structure are generally shit, the politics becomes a justification for putting out lazier, low quality products
2. It's disingenuous. Shows like John Oliver are clearly designed to be taken seriously as news sources/factual programs but present themselves as 'just comedians making jokes' to get around any criticism of their content. This format isn't a product of comedians getting smarter and more politically literate, it's a product of americans getting lazier and stupider and only able to consume news media that's loaded with quips like a fricking marvel film
But anon, CNN and MSNBC are even more of a farce
true, that's another reason that the comedy news format is so big, all the regular news channels are a joke
My father in law watches MSNBC constantly. The other day there was a huge headline along the lines of "January 6 Insurrection: Day 578". January 6 is usually about half of every broadcast day. They even stopped talking about Ukraine mostly
>marrying into a leftist family
For what reason? Your wife is probably going to trannify any kids you have with her.
That equals possible table debates at holidays and everything else. It happens.
For sex incel. So anon can have sex.
The complete and utter reversal of Democrat claims, beliefs and standards between June 2020 and January 2021 was one of the single most rapid and naked I have ever seen even these Professional Hypocrites pull. It practically gave me whiplash.
They went from "Nationwide looting, violence, arson and murder are OK because a black criminal somewhere OD'd on Fentynal, and if you complain about it you are a racist, also kill all cops" to "These unarmed boomers trespassing during a protest is LITERAL TERRORISM, literally kill them all" in barely six months.
It's utterly insane. It's like that scene in Nineteen Eighty-Four where it goes from "Oceania has always been at war with Eurasia" to "Oceania has always been at war with East Asia" in a split second and nobody bats an eye because they're so brainwashed.
>waaaa hypocrisy
They're playing to win. You're playing fair. That's why you'll lose.
>admitting to hypocrisy
Great optics. I'm sure the normies will love this, especially with midterms coming up.
They just stole the last election in front of God and everbody with the "bad optics" you point out and just gaslit the frick out of the whole country that that wasn't what was happening. They expect to win. You expect a fair election.
>They expect to win.
They expected that on 2016 too. :3
Daily Reminder Midterms are around the corner and Biden has been such a disaster that he's tanking public support for the ENTIRE Democratic Party; not even just his administration.
Tick tock, tick tock, homosexuals.
When the expectation of fairness is no longer on the table, what holds back the people you have demonized, mocked, badgered, and terrorized?
>what holds back
"holding back" from what motherfricker? They just threw homosexuals in a dungeon and threw away the key for taking an unauthorized tour. The left will lie, cheat, and steal to win and the right will "play fair". The moment the right tries to play by the left's rules they'll be btfo harder than anyone has ever seen. That's the reality the right chose. The moment the right set themselves up as "the good guys" generations ago they made this inevitable.
I'm hearing a lot of whining and no actual alternatives/solutions.
"normies are finally waking up" isn't a solution either, homosexual. Hope isn't a plan. It's a cuckservative cope.
It was literally fricking Obama’s platform you stupid homosexual.
>It was literally fricking Obama’s platform you stupid homosexual.
You think he believed that? You think when he was doing the equivalent of what we're doing in this thread he was spouting "hope" as a strat? lol
Did I say that homosexual, or are you using your “right wing tactics” of disinformation to put words in my mouth, MAGA chud?
You cited Obama's campaign slogan as a retort to my suggesting that hope isn't a political strategy, so yeah. You did kinda say it.
> That's the reality the right chose.
Right, and yet you want to deny them even that. So, when they stop playing, and start using your own tactics against you (they already have), what position do you fall back to next? How do you recover from the impending loss, when you have sacrificed everything to get to this point?
>They just stole the last election
You should hurry up with that evidence anon. Trump has been laughed out of every court, but maybe there is still time!
>Trump has been laughed out of every court
He literally wasn't. Judges refused to hear the case because they had no standing before the election than said it was water under the bridge so he had no standing after the election. They punted for political reasons. We've never fully investigated 2020 election, but I understanding your trolling.
You know, the interesting thing about that is... Trump lost.
>nanny nanny boo boo Trump lost
I told you I get the trolling. I'm cool with it. I'd do the same thing (and plan on it) if/when the tables are turned. But that election was stolen and everyone knows it. Honestly, you should just gloat about stealing an election. It'd make you look better and give you a righeous smug instead of a petulant smug.
>But that election was stolen and everyone knows it.
That's factually inaccurate on both counts, though. I know living on /misc/ has convinced you that everyone secretly agrees with you but the truth is you're a small and widely-mocked fringe minority of insufferable dipshits.
Whatever you have to tell yourself. Half the country knows Democrats cheated and the other half pretends he didn't cheat while also pretending to like Biden to "BTFO the chuds" or whatever while secretly hating him for lying to them about everything just to get their vote then immediately betraying them.
>Whatever you have to tell yourself.
I don't have to "tell myself" that Trump lost, I'm reminded every day. So are you, I would imagine, on account of Trump not being president and all.
No, I meant the part where you freaks think you're a majority and everyone who can think independently is a "fringe minority".
>That's factually inaccurate on both counts, though.
We don't know what the fact are because no one wants to look at it. Do you? I doubt it. I suspect you're just find with winning by whatever means necessary and feel you have plausible deniability. But this shit can and will come around. It always does. Smug over-confidence and a sense of historical inevitability is what got you gay morons in this situation in 2016.
>ran out of arguments
Yes, you're a bunch of corrupt, lying, cheating, fraudulent traitors subverting democracy. We know. Message received.
Arguments for what, the fact that Trump lost? I'd say Trump not being president is a pretty good indicator.
Evidence requires investigations, which Democrats blocked for more than a year.
Funny how Democrats never took the initiative to explain those gaping statistical anomalies in the 2020 vote themselves and instead just resorted to suing/threatening to sue anyone who asked questions.
Wait so your point is that Conservatives need to engage in corruption, subversion, intimidation and terrorism now?
yea
Pointing out blatant unrepentant hypocrisies is one of the best ways to get men on your side. Pretty hard to not see it already starting, leftists stopped moving and now the powers, feds, corporations have caught up to them and they still refuse to move. They’re about to get left behind this decade, already getting old and lame.
This.
Daily Reminder that when you see homosexuals going "S-Stop pointing out Leftist hypocrisies!!! I-I-It doesn't matter!!! You're wasting your time!!!", you're not talking to someone with genuine opinions; you're talking to a scared, desperate Leftist stealthing as a Neutral/Rightwinger that is trying to gaslight you into NOT doing something that damages his party.
>Humor shouldn't require people to laugh
Then don't call it humor/comedy.
These are modern day preachers, not comedians.
Because none of it is organic, much less funny.
Oh great another homosexual hoping to force a new term.
people like john oliver bug me because when they get called out on the things they say, they hide behind the comedian label.

fricking kek
It's hilarious how Leftoids became the literal, unironic IRL embodiment of the stereotypes they projected onto rightwingers just a decade ago.
It’s so insane that this is how you appeal to the side that has the popular vote, by hating them and their neighbors. A place like reddit has so clearly been astroturfed by the DNC and it’s all just nonstop hating America and Americans and fear/doom-mongering them. That you appeal to these people by shitting on them is so bizarre, white leftists are so fricking creepy and miserable.
The insult "cuck" didn't materialize out of a vacuum. There's a reason it came into existence, a reason it caught on and a reason it cut Leftists to the bone.

It's hilarious how transparent it is that all these homosexuals attacking Tucker Carlson are literally just petty attacks on someone they view as "competition".
It's like is McDonald's made a mini "documentary" on how bad and "problemnatic" Burger King was and all the soiboys went "YAAAAAAAAS PREACH SISTA OMG I AM SO INFORMED RIGHT NOW, BK CHUDS BTFO YAAAAAAAAAS".
McDonald's vs burger king is just about as apt of a comparison I can think of for cable shows dissing each other
Would prefer listening to the shittiest Dane Cook album than today's bullshit.
falling for this sort of bait is why rightoids will never win again
Keep believing that. It will make the ape out after your next inevitable loss (very soon, BTW) that much more extreme and entertaining. This attitude is why you chimped so fricking hard in 2016.
more like the race who cannot be named got caught off guard believing their own propaganda and think the right are too broken to fight back.
no such luck now that the whole system is shown to be completely rigged.

Last week tonight is the perfect example of a show that's funny until politics get involved
Has anyone here, even one single time, ever actually attempted to make some kind of substantive rebuttal to literally anything this guy has said? He's memed to death but every segment he's ever done is exhaustively sourced and written like an argumentative essay. I can understand disagreeing with the thesis of the segment or whatever but I've literally never even once seen any of the /misc/tards who cry about him have an actual response or counter-argument.
>every segment he's ever done is exhaustively sourced
AH HA HA HA HA HA HA
Yeah what's his source on trannies being "real women"?
>every segment he's ever done is exhaustively sourced
That's objectively correct, yes.
Believe it or not I haven't spent much time actively searching YouTube for chud rebuttals to John Oliver segments, I was referring to /misc/tards here.
Mother Jones, Politifact, Sniped, etc. aren't "sources".
To be fair you dipshits think anyone who reports on anything you don't like is invalid or "fake news", so you'll understand when no one takes your crying about sources seriously.
Tell me again about the "racist attack" those Catholic schoolboys perpetrated on Chief Stolen Valor, homosexual.
what the frick are you even talking about, schizo
>Already memory-holing the 2019 media circus around the Covington Kids
Lol not surprising.
Mother Jones, Politifact and other Leftist propaganda outlets aren't valid sources. No amount of pilpul or whining or deflection on your part will change that so your uppity, effeminate little claim means nothing.
>you dipshits think anyone who reports on anything you don't like is invalid or "fake news"
homosexual, you literally censored people and called them "conspiracy-theorists" because they said Corinavirus came from a lab before it was trendy and tried to sue people for even QUESTIONING the 2020 Election Results.
There is no greater promoter of "calling information you don't like 'fake news'" than the modern left.
>"calling information you don't like 'fake news'
That's quite literally exactly what you do, though. Not particularly interested in your desperate schizo attempt to change the subject tbh
look here fella, just because you enjoy garbage dressed up as intelligence, doesnt mean other people have to too. Reddit seems more your scene, friendo
No, it's what you do, as I just proved and you ignored.
Wait are Leftists now trying to ignore or even deny that they persecuted and censored people for being right (too early) about Corona and that people/companies were threatened and sued for questioning the 2020 Election?
Seriously? Can't say I'm surprised. Reality-denial is practically a tenant of Leftism at this point.
Bizarro posts. Threatening to hang the vice president and lynch congressmen is terrorism quote "literal terrorism." And reality denial is a "tenant" of Rightism. The conspiracy theory shit is RAMPANT in rightwing news and a core part of conservative tactics involves lying and gaslighting. Oh, and a lot of rightwing policy is supposedly grounded in religious doctrine, aka fiction.
Wash your pussy
Who would you list as a “right wing news outlet”?
>Threatening to hang the vice president and lynch congressmen is terrorism
So where were all the arrests and jail time for Leftist "protestors" and their "Kill Trump" and "Rape Melina" signs? Where are all the arrests of BLM tards for chanting "KILL ALL COPS" and "PIGS IN A BLANKET, FRY EM LIKE BACON"? According to you that IS "terrorism", right?
>nd reality denial is a "tenant" of Rightism. The conspiracy theory shit is RAMPANT in rightwing news and a core part of conservative tactics involves lying and gaslighting.

All leftwing policy is actually grounded in religious doctrine such as Marxism, CRT, Gender Theory, etc., aka fiction.
>heh, see what I did there? I took what you said and said it again, but about YOUR thing!
problem being it doesn't actually make sense, since conservative ideology is rooted in christcuckery and not all ideologies are inherently religious.
also

What did the fat, sausage-lipped, gaslighting leftist moron mean by this?
Educators have been caught red-handed pushing this material on children and it blew up into shit that ended with them outing themselves as shrieking zealots on television and getting publicly fired. One of Biden's first acts as President was to repeal the ban on CRT in military training.
Why are you even TRYING to gaslight over this you piece of shit? You're not going to convince people that shit they have seen and heard themselves was imaginary just because you said it was.
Are you just desperate because you relied completely on your ideology not being public in order to get away with it, so now that people are onto you and know what your motives and methods are you have no tactics other than denial, lying and gaslighting (which nobody will fall for)?
People are on to you, you little weasel. They know your tactics now. They know the Leftist MO is saying "We support X but would NEVER and will never support Y/in fact Y doesnt even exist actually and you're paranoid", and then 10 or just 5 years later instead say "We support Y and always did and THAT'S A GOOD THING. But we would never and will never support Z.....", and the cycle continues. It's happened so many times now that even normies are getting wise to it.
You won't win this, homosexual.
Not
but I am
.
No one on the left talks about CRT, it's a buzzword that the right wing harps on to avoid subjects that induce white guilt. To a lesser extent, it's another bizarro tactic of the right to attempt to paint non conservative thought as indoctrination while they send their kids to sunday school, private christian schools, and other similar echo chambers that keep young minds on message.
>No one on the left talks about CRT
They sure did when they installed it in military training and when Biden un-banned it. Funny, huh? How could Biden actively implement it if "nobody was talking about it", let alone the President?
No one talks about it. It's really just you guys. Trump banned diversity training because it was important to you and then Biden repealed that because it's stupid and exactly what I'm talking about when I say the whole thing is about conservatives trying to bury topics that cause white guilt.
>Ok it happened but also, simultaneously, it didn't happen
Why do troons think their delusional, self-contradictory narratives make sense to anyone outside their cult? You know that when you argue with rational people OUTSIDE your derranged cult you're supposed to at least.....you know, lie to them, obfuscate, etc., right? You're not supposed to just admit you believe two contradictory and incompatible things simultaneously. Normal, mentally healthy people don't do that and frequently aren't even capable of doing that.
This is surreal. Are we watching a cultist answer a knock at the door but forget to put their mask on first?
>No one talks about it. No one cares.
>One of Biden's first acts was to reimplement it in one of America's most fundamental and important institutions.
You don't see the contradiction here? Really?
This is kind of impressive. An ACTUAL brainwashed NPC in the wild that is so brainwashed as to not bother hiding that fact.
>No one on the left talks about CRT, it's a buzzword

Neoliberals coopted the far-left by adopting identitarianism as the basis for its political platform. It's actually great because the "liberal elite" is slowly becoming homosexual minorities who are incompetent.

>STOP NOTICING THINGS, KEK
yeah man, liberals totally want to create a white Christian ethnostate, same as the conservatives. There is literally zero difference between parties, why even bother voting?
Thanks, Zhong Quo Min, +10 social credit!
>yeah man, liberals totally want to create a white Christian ethnostate, same as the conservatives
Oh yeah that's definitely not a strawman. Western liberalism and conservativism are both rooted in Christianity , so complaining that "its just the conservatives who have an irrational religious attachment to their ideology because it's rooted in christianity" is fricking moronic. You also said not all ideologies have "religious" people in it which is also not true. People are naturally irrational and religious. There is no such thing as an ideology that doesn't have religious adherents to it. Even self proclaimed atheists fall into that category of irrational worship of etc concepts
>There is zero difference between parties
Something I also didn't say
no one's claiming that conservatives have a specific irrational attachment to their ideology because of Christianity
the claim is that their specific irrational attachment is to an ideology of Christianity. Or more accurately, a highly bastardized version of it. See the difference?
Liberals won't budge on abortion because they think conservatives are unlikely to stop restricting right if they are given the chance to. Conservatives won't budge on abortion because they think it is ontologically evil and goes against the will of God. See the difference?
same shit as Muslims trying to create Sharia law: anyone opposing them can never bend at all to their demands, because the people pushing that ideology are literally religious zealots who will not stop until the entirety of their culture is deemed Godly by them.
>no one's claiming that conservatives have a specific irrational attachment to their ideology because of Christianity
Backpedaling
>the claim is that their specific irrational attachment is to an ideology of Christianity.
Also incorrect, technically
>>>Or more accurately, a highly bastardized version of it.
I'm guessing you're basing this around a tu quoque argument in your head , there is 0 reason to believe Christian conservatives believe in a bastardized version of Christianity otherwise lmao. That's not really how religious cults work
>ontologically evil
*Ethically. Ontology has nothing to do with this
>same shit as Muslims trying to create Sharia law: anyone opposing them can never bend at all to their demands, because the people pushing that ideology are literally religious zealots who will not stop until the entirety of their culture is deemed Godly by them
Almost like tribalism is inherent to all of humanity or something
No, liberals want whites replaced and eventually suppressed, discriminated against and some want them outright extinct. They also want children either aborted in the womb or groomed/raped by troony pedophiles.
When were you first indoctrinated by the far right on the internet?
Black person they're ADMITTING to this shit at this point and are actively fighting for it. They practically advertise it at this point.
Incitement to kill all cops and storming police stations IS an act of terrorism. Of which every perpetrator of the 2020 summer of love received amnesty for.

Remember when this homosexual decided his new target was "Televangelists"?
Fricking kek. It's funny because Leftist simpletons are so desperate for boogiemen that they want to pretend "Televangelists" are relevant in 2022. It's doubly funny because Jon Oliver IS a "Televangelist" .
Are you doing that thing where you stretch the definition of a word so thin it loses all meaning to further some nebulous political point? If John Oliver is a "televangelist" then surely Tucker and Hannity are too, right?
>I know I am but what are you???
this again lmao
never fails
>Are you doing that thing where you stretch the definition of a word so thin it loses all meaning to further some nebulous political point?
So that's a resounding "yes", then. Got it!
Your assumption is that poster gives a shit about Tucker/Hannity, whereas you obviously will die on the hill of defending Oliver, because he’s on your “team”. Frick them all, and you for being their shill, for free.
My assumption was that that poster was stretching the definition of a word so thin it loses all meaning to further some nebulous political point, and I was 100% correct.
So why did you need to bring up Hannity and Tucker who are completely unrelated to discussion? Just kidding, I know why. You are doing a remarkable job “owning the chuds”, please keep it up, I love to watch people struggle.
I was taking that poster's dumb argument to its logical conclusion, my mentally challenged friend. If John Oliver is a "televangelist" (he isn't), then okay, under your new definition, who else is a televangelist?
That’s not the discussion we are having my ADHD-suffering friend, so bringing in unrelated pundits to muddy the waters is much a distraction tactic.
The poster I was responding to was muddying the waters by stretching the definition of a word so thin it loses all meaning to further some nebulous political point, as I 100% accurately observed at the time, my deranged /misc/schizo friend. Quite literally engaging in distraction tactics. I'm sorry my incontrovertibly correct analysis has made you so upset.
It’s okay, you don’t need to sink to his level. You are better than that.
See:
and actually address it this time.
Not being "relugious" isn't enough to make you NOT a "Tekevangelist", autismo.
Man, I really hope one these guys brings up the definition of televangelist. Then we can pivot to why the left suddenly cares about definitions, then we can roll right into the definition of a woman.
>Man, I really hope someone completely blows my "argument" the frick out, so I'll have a chance to desperately attempt to change the subject yet again in my increasingly depressing effort to declare victory
The man preaches his religion on tv for his converts and if you don’t follow his tenants you are on the wrong side of history for eternity. Yes, he is a televangelist.
Oh cool, now we're stretching the definition of "religion" so thin it loses all meaning to further some nebulous political point. Great job proving /misc/schizos are totally worth taking seriously lmao
There’s no stretching the definition on this one, troony sorry. Left wing liberalism fits the multiple definitions of religion, no squirming out of this one.
>Left wing liberalism fits the multiple definitions of religion
It fits quite literally none, though.
>There’s no stretching the definition on this one
But you're quite literally stretching the definition of "religion" so thin it loses all meaning to further some nebulous political point, though.
> A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.
Oops.
>the belief in and worship of a superhuman controlling power, especially a personal God or gods.
ohhhhhnononononono
So we are backtracking from there bing 100% NO definition that fits to it only being YOUR definition that counts? See why being disingenuous is always the cowards way now?
Besides left wing worships “government”, it is quite literally their god, so that definition is actually very apt, better than some of the other I was comparing. I’m glad you went with “superhuman” vs “supernatural”, I avoided that on purpose because it only has deific connotations.
>"if you believe my stretched definition of the word, then it totally fits that definition"
kek. but okay, let's play along
>A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion
So you're openly admitting your deranged troony obsession is quite literally your religion, then?
>I was BTFO, so let me strawman.
Anyways, you said no definition, and there’s multiple that fit.
>google "religion definition"
>see your answer nowhere
>google your specific set of words on its own
>"3. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion: a person for whom art became a religion."
You quite literally 100% proved my point about changing definitions of words to fit your own nebulous political ends. LMAOOOOOOOO how long did it take to find that? Are you appropriately embarrassed at having humiliated yourself like this?
Now do the evangelist definition posted and explain how it doesn’t fit.
Now do the part where you admit to quite literally proving me 100% correct.

The part where you went out of your way to edit out the part of the same sentence that literally proves me 100% correct is going to be a sticking point, yeah. So why'd you do it? Any particular reason?
Not only did you ignore all of the definitions that didn't suit your purposes, you edited out the part of your own cherrypicked definition that proves me 100% correct. How absolutely fricking embarrassing for you LMAO
Black person, you said NO definitions, theres 3, with proof, I’m phoneposting so it’s not edited, just more literal overlooking whatever you don’t want to see. Post YOUR fricking source.
My source is the literal first definition when you google "religion definition" you fricking moron. Unlike you I didn't need to search high and low to find one part of one source's subset of possible definitions of religion that didn't include any mention of believing in a god or higher power.
Seriously, don't you think it's time to just admit you were wrong and move on? You really don't need to keep humiliating yourself like this.
Then post it.
I'm not sure what your angle is here. Incapable of googling "religion definition"? Disputing that it's the first result? Or just desperate for even further humiliation?
I accept your concession.
This has been the most enjoyable btfo'ing I've inflicted in some time, thank you for being such an enthusiastic and dimwitted part of it. Better luck next time!
I agree, watching you disintegrate your own arguments was quite satisfying. I don’t think I’ve seen someone flipflop nearly so quickly.
Hey, remember that time when you searched and searched for a definition vague enough to suit your purposes, ignoring all the ones that didn't, and then selectively edited out the part of the same sentence that literally proves me 100% correct? That was pretty funny, wasn't it?

>>"3. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion: a person for whom art became a religion."
>"a person or whom art had become a religion"
Why did you edit it out, anon?
Wasn’t listed on DuckDuckGo, why do you use Google anon? It doesn’t give accurate results.
Don't you think it's awfully weird how hard you had to look to find a definition of "religion" that doesn't mention belief in a god or gods, and even the one subset possible definition you did find proved me 100% correct in the very sentence you cherrypicked and quoted, so you just omitted that part? That's gotta make you feel pretty fricking dumb, huh?
I don’t actually because all this effort you are making actually shows that we are right.
>>"3. A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion: a person for whom art became a religion."
Fits you to a tee, you’ve made this your religion. A person for whom John Oliver/left wing ideology/trooning out has become a religion. Don’t you think that’s funny? A living example of the definition you threw a fit about.
Holy shit, is this homosexual still seething over the analogy you made?
The definition I posted direct from the dictionary via duckduckgo with screenshot and it’s still not enough. But they’ve posted nothing.
Dude, I told you. Ideologues retreat to semantics so they don't have to address criticism of their core beliefs. It stops them from having to adopt someone else's perspective and eliminates what they perceive as a threat to their understanding of reality.
>stretch a word's definition so thin it loses all meaning
>someone laughs at you for it
>"dude you're just retreating to semantics lol"
And to think no one takes /misc/tards seriously lmao
homosexuals on Cinemaphile who bring up /misc/ every time they're losing an argument are worse than actual /misc/ posters.
>I don’t actually
I mean you should though, because that's quite literally exactly what happened.
https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=religion+definition
Oh, also post source.
troon you're delusional. That word have several definitions depending on context, why can't you understand that? Is this what no sex does to an incel-troony?
It’s from the American Heritage Dictionary, 5th edition, 5th entry for religion, entry 2 also fits.
>Oh cool, now we're stretching the definition of "religion" so thin it loses all meaning to further some nebulous political point.
It's literally a classical Marxist criticism of ideology and religion. It's over a century old concept. Jfc the absolute state of this board
>religion
if politics is religion now, what does that make the Tuckster and the rest?
Or does it not count as a religion when you agree with it?
Ironic, considering that's perhaps the most telling part of your belief system being utterly unable to account for the possibility of being wrong...
>Or does it not count as a religion when you agree with it?
ding ding ding
>Tucker
Frick Tucker. Find a different argument than >muh Tucker.
Not him, but i don't think the claim is that all politics is religion now. It's that leftism is becoming a neo-religious movement, or at least is evincing many religious traits. Everything from faith-based, irrational dogmatic beliefs, "sacraments" and "rites" to charismatic leaders and a priestly class. Leftoids even have their own eschatology end-times lore.
Whyvdo you keep bringing up Tucker?
You must really want to frick him.
It's an apt analogy. You're arguing with a moron whose trying to slide you into semantics because being disingenuous is a defense mechanism for NPCs.
Being ideologically possessed is similar to religious fundamentalism. Even the word apostate is used both in a religious and political sense.
>t's an apt analogy
It's a staggeringly moronic analogy made by a staggeringly moronic person. Good thing I accurately observed you dipshits' desperate attempts to stretch the definition of words so thin they lose all meaning to further some nebulous political point right from the outset.
>Being ideologically possessed
We're not talking about MAGAtards right now, please try to keep up.
>It's a staggeringly moronic analogy made by a staggeringly moronic person.
No, you're just literally fricking autistic.
>You can't call me a "cultist" for being rabidly devoted to this insane cause! "Cults" are religious! My unquestioning mindless devotion is secular, so I can't possibly be a "cultist"! HA! Checkmate, Christians! I just BTFO your argument with FACTS & LOGIC!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
>BLM-worshipping simpletons that chop their own dicks off and burn down their own communities and murder their neighbors when CNN tells them to

You homosexuals literally kneel for black people and prostrate yourselves in worship of Saint Fentynal.
>It's a staggeringly moronic analogy
It's not. Ever heard of "preaching to the converted?"
>Good thing I accurately observed you dipshits' desperate attempts to stretch the definition of words
You're ideologically possessed. Someone from what you perceive as an outgroup refused to accept your rubric so you retreated into semantics instead of reconciling your cognitive dissonance.
>MAGAtards
See? You immediately project an unfounded association instead of dealing with what was pointed out. Not only are you an ideologue--you're also an idiot.
>no argument, just ad hom
>Well he's not LITERALLY a Telvangelist by the textbook definition!
Yes, autismo, when people accuse Jon Oliver of "being a televangelist" they mean they think he is a LITERAL "televangelist". They mean he's a LITERAL Christian pastor on TV. That's exactly what they mean. And you totally don't have staggering amounts of autism that prevent you from understanding eveb basic arguments, apparently.
Reading comprehension.
Well an evangelist is "a person who seeks to convert others to the Christian faith, especially by public preaching", which John Oliver clearly does not do, so he is quite literally not a "televangelist". you astounding moron.
>Umm but akshully he's not even a Christian preacher
Wow you're quite the genius. It's almost like the accusations is that he's preaching *a* religion and not necessarily Christianity you absolute fricking brainlet
>"okay, so he doesn't meet literally the only standard for being a televangelist, but you're like, dumb and mean for pointing that out"
Lmao. Also
>all beliefs are religions
Christ you people are insufferable.
>>"okay, so he doesn't meet literally the only standard for being a televangelist, but
No. No he does. That's not what I was saying. You seem to have a major issue with the whole "being able to read" thing. I'm gonna guess the words "synonymous" or "connotations" are both words you're about to go look up because you've never read them before.
>You people
By all means tell me what people I am. If you mean the kinds of people who think irrationality is inherent and inescapable to humanity then you're right. Otherwise I assume you think I'm whatever political boogeyman you hate the most is
>If anyone accuses anyone of anything, it is meant in THE MOST LITERAL WAY POSSIBLE
So the people calling Trump a "cheeto" or whatever LITERALLY thought Trump was a literal snack-food made by Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo., and sold in bags across the world? That is the one and only definition of the word "Cheeto", BTW.
So by your logic Democrats are even more stupid/delusional. They unironically thought Trump was a mass-produced snack food sold in bags when he was clearly a politician. What a bunch of morons.
Your post might make sense if /misc/schizos hadn't spent this entire thread defending the idea that John Oliver is quite literally a televangelist and looking for dictionary definitions to prove their point, just so you know.
>defending the idea that John Oliver is quite literally a televangelist
Black person how are you this fricking stupid? The whole point you aren't getting is that NOBODY ITT was arguing Oliver was a LITERAL Christian evangelist. That is shit YOU made up and autistically argued against for 20+ posts. The whole point is that he isn't a LITERAL "tekevangelist", but that he serves that purpose for drooling Leftoid sheep.
Holy frick, did you accidentally start eating paint chips with your Titty Skittles this month?
>Well an evangelist is "a person who seeks to convert others to the Christian faith
Already incorrect. "Evagelizing" isn't specific to Christianity so you're ALREADY just factually incorrect.
e·van·ge·list
/əˈvanjələst/
noun: evangelist; plural noun: evangelists
1. a person who seeks to convert others to the Christian faith, especially by public preaching.
"an American television evangelist"
a layperson engaged in Christian missionary work.
"a local evangelist working with a youth mission"
a zealous advocate of something.
"he is an evangelist of junk bonds"
2. the writer of one of the four Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, or John).
"St. John the Evangelist"
the word derives directly from meaning "bringer of the Gospel" in Greek
Drink some bleach buddy, your brain clearly needs a cleaning
>a zealous advocate of something.
You literally just posted a definition that is not Christian-specific.
oh, you mean the third definition, that's slang derived from the etymology of the word being associated with religious zealotry?
Let me guess, GED at most?
the hrt is messing with your brain troon, think carefully before replying
Using evangelism in that sentence is not slang, anon. It's more the secularization of religious vocabulary.
>oh, you mean the third definition
That doesn't make it any less of a definition of a word you absolute moron lmao. It's not a competition it's the meaning assigned to words, one of which has a non religious association which everyone but you understands in the thread
>religious zealotry?
Evangelism is a synonym of zealotry. Zealotry also has a secular definition
>Let me guess, GED at most
Let me guess, 2 years of sociology and you work as some broke as barista now don't you?
>That doesn't make it any less of a definition of a word you absolute moron lmao.
the context of it being a recent derivation from a meaning associated with religious zealotry, when the original context it was being used in was to say that anyone pushing leftist ideology and Oliver specifically is literally a televangelist for a new religion of wokeism?
I mean frick, you b***h so much about getting definitions rights, and then turn around to say
>well akshually, you can use multiple different definitions of a word interchangeably, context doesn't matter
Left wing ideology being a religion in and of itself has articles going back 100 years if not more. It’s not new.
>the context of it being a recent derivation
I *just* told you this concept was first popularized by Marx over 100 years ago. It's not new and it's not some recent right wing definition
>>well akshually, you can use multiple different definitions of a word interchangeably, context doesn't matter
Context is literally the entire reason why words have different definitions holy shit you're an idiot
troon, your autism is showing. If you had read what you copypasted this argument would be over
>a zealous advocate of something
Dude did you even read your own definition?
What is a woman? Since definitions matter now.
The word evangelism is as Christian as the word holiday is. It has a broader definition outside its root origin. You're simply being pedantic at this point.
>What is a metaphor
Based bad-faith poster
one obvious difference is that televangelists bilk millions of dollars from their followers and convince them that if they don't send in money, they will go to hell
Jon Oliver dupes morons into literally throwing millions of dollars of their collective money at BLM and other destructive, violent, corrosive, anti-American or even overtly terrorist organizations.
>if they don't send in money, they will go to hell
There has literally never been a popular televangelist that unironically told people "send us money or you will go to hell". You are an overweight, droopy-faced, bubble-lipped atheist moron who likely suffers from something on the Autism Spectrum with a chip on your shoulder against Christianity despite knowing jack shit about its practices and you literally make shit up that nobody has done to justify being impotently mad at them.
Jon Oliver is a man in a suit on TV that droves of sheep tune in to to be told what to do and what to think. How is that not a "Televangelist" or at least an apropos equivalent if you're being autistic about specific definitions.
Naa, the only argument of a televangelist is "skydaddy said so". Meanwhile, non religious persuasion is based on evidence. Which you haven't show any that supports your claim.
, non religious persuasion is based on evidence.
Oh right, because the atheistic reasoning behind Lysenkoism was based on "evidence" of how genetics was a lie and not irrational, religious hysteria lmao
Religions also base themselves on evidence btw , it's just determining what evidence is faulty or not is the issue.
>skydaddy said so
>stalin said so
Both equivalent arguments for you
So that specific edition of the bible in that specific translation in that specific interpretation is the actual word of god. Still haven't seen proof of that
>Meanwhile, non religious persuasion is based on evidence.
Lol Leftism isn't. It's based on ignoring evidence if anything, and in its place is emotion, Marxist dogma and hatred of whites.
Wrong
100% incontrovertibly correct. You have no argument btw
Kind of like how you call common sense "racism", peaceful protests "insurrections" and violent riots "peaceful protests"?
>"n-no u!"
lmao. nearly 900 convictions for your "peaceful protest" at the capitol btw
>government ruthlessly persecuting people in retaliation for daring to get their carpets dirty
No shit. They don't have the privilege of corrupt Democrat DA's dropping the charges against them. Be sure to tongue-shine that boot a little harder while you're at it, slave.
>convictions
Lol how many for "trespassing" and "littering"?
60+ murders (including several children) and multiple billions in damages for your "peaceful protest" all over the US, btw
>a day that will forever live in infamy
>BUT BUT BUT BUT WHAT ABOUT
Nobody cares OR brought up Carlson before you did, troony.
Lol you homosexuals call men on drag "women". Shit the frick up.
>Jon Oliver IS a "Televangelist"
This. The fact that this went over SO MANY people's heads is staggering. It's palpable irony.
wow, a thread made without any interest in discussing movies and series
wonder who is behind this kind of thread and why mods let it exist instead of deleting useless threads
its almost like there are groups out there doing this kind of threads on purpose for their own interests
your life is useless but nobody is deleting it yet

This show makes me sad.
I wish I had never started watching it.
It feels like there's nothing that isn't fricked by greed and the Old Guard Democrats and the entirety of the GOP are all bought and paid for so nothing will be done to fix it for most of my lifetime.
Boomers need to fricking die off already.
Get a job you fricking slob
It's not all that smart. An educated populace is no smarter than an uneducated one, just more educated so that idiots too stupid to know better can fancy themselves intelligent.
god i looove john oliver! Its so crazy how we get our news from comedians and our comedy from the news these days. Zany right XD!
homosexual.
If smug, condescending diatribes about political issues punctuated by fart and dick jokes inserted at random intervals with a laugh track edited in is what the “educated populace” enjoys, then clearly this “education” is of no value whatsoever. In reality, the only people who watch and enjoy this shit are spiritually and intellectually dead inside.
He started lying about shit to get goodie goodie woke points so I tuned out
i liked his show when it came out because it was mostly him pranking corporations or particularly shitty individuals. it's hard to remember it was even about that at some point because its devolved into a opposing mirror of the tucker carlson show. at some point, i can only assume they hired a bunch of female writers, because the jokes all became about politics, doing your hair, or fricking adam driver - so i tuned out. disappointing.
That Adam Driver running joke was hilarious, especially with that conclusion.
>there are GENUINE, UNIRONIC Jon Oliver cultists ITT defending his shit show
White shitlibs need to be put out of their misery.
Modern leftists are so fricking lame. No one likes gay nerd moralizers.
It's unironically true.
If you're white and you still vote Democrat at this point for any reason you have no right to complain about being labeled a "cuck". If you're white AND male and you still vote Democrat at this point for any reason you're so utterly cucked that you basically aren't even human at this point.
Norm MacDonald said it best, that comedians today pretend like they are intellectuals to gain the love of the crowd and to be seen as intellectuals. But nobody likes a guy who's smarter than them.
>But nobody likes a guy who's smarter than them.
The irony is that is not what John Oliver does, but it is what Norm did. He says everything that his audience already agrees with, he is putting himself on the audience's level of knowledge, not acting smarter than them.
Someone like Norm, who used anti-humor and loved to expose people as idiots for not understanding his humor, is pretending to be smarter than his audience, which is probably why is career never took off.
The irony is that Oliver isn't smarter than the average person. He may be smarter than the average drooling Democrat that makes up his audience though, but then again that's a low fricking bar.
Why do homosexuals hate it when you say, 'June is Groomer Awareness Month'.?
why are you a colossal whiny homosexual?
>"Stop molesting our children."
>"OMG STOP WHINING JEEEEEEEZ!!!!"
take your meds and wake up
weird projected pedo fantasies aren't reality
Well that makes me ignore the fact that a third of child-molesters are gay and Leftists are actively pushing pedophelia.
Yes, I am sure this is 100% true; just like the father of that girl raped in a school bathroom by a troony was just coincidentally a "terrorist".
>anything that makes me look bad is a false flag
the sure sign of a rational free thinker, not an indoctrinated moron
Keep posting inspired fake shit, troony. Your grooming of children will be socially accepted ANY day now!
>F-FAKE NEWS!
cope more, pedo
reminder: whatever the far-right is accusing people of, it's projection. That's why all the based trad defenders of children hang out on sites that also host softcore child porn
you're fine with kids being molested, so long as it's proper heterosexual molestation, like you do to your daughter
>troony schizo projection
Didn't read, lol. Leftists are derranged pedophiles and your insane grooming operations are getting banned from schools state by state. Florida was just the beginning, troon.
!973 is when it all went to shit. That was the year homosexualry was removed as a mental illness from the DSM.
Didn't this homosexual said he wasn't a journalist, or a source of news, that he's just a comedian? why the frick does he now think he's an educator?
>smart humor
Yup. This shit is aimed at people who think laughing at the "jokes" in The Big Bang Theory makes them smart.
>Why exactly does this concept make Cinemaphile so mad?
Because we're of you goddamned communist degenerates lecturing us instead making us laugh. Consider the KSG therapy in front of your family.
And slogans are absolutely solutions, he’ll look at Biden building back better while food processing centers burn. So while you are attempting to make the point hope isn’t a solution, it is exactly what the left wing campaigns on.
>And slogans are absolutely solutions
Because hyperbole is so unknown to you, amirite?
>I was only hyperbolin'
I stopped at this episode. This is what happens when you hire for diversity not talent. Bullshit fabrications.
Its staggering how narcissistic blacks are at this point.
>Yo wypipo wanna touch muh hair n shirt for muh magic Black energy
I guess that's what happens when you grow up in a sycophantic, mentally ill culture where half of society and the institutions they have corrupted fricking worship you solely for your skin-color.
The most narcissistic people on earth are the white libs who pander to those types. These people just love sniffing each other's farts.

Everyone responsible must be einsatzgruppened.

Guys, the people ITT are just /misc/ sockpuppeting as Jon Oliver cultists for a laugh, right? The people who actually watch Jon Oliver aren't ACTUALLY as staggeringly stupid IRL as they are ITT, right?
The only post that matters is this:
Everything else in this thread is flamebait, including your post.
>Well I'll just ignore that my dipshit arguments got BTFO'd. Everyone was just "trolling". Yeah.
it isn't funny. call it whatever you want, it isn't funny therefore not humor
Good God this thread was exhausting. This has been my reminder that Leftists basically aren't "people" any more. They don't think or reason like people do. Talking to them is simultaneously like talking to an autistic 4-year-old and talking to a fricking space-alien. They need basic concepts meticulously and laboriously explained to them, which ultimately they will often ignore anyway even IF you go to the effort for their benefit. Simultaneously they belch some of the most insipidly nonsensical drivel you could never even hope to make sense of, and they expect you to take it seriously. They reference imaginary events while simultaneously denying events you and everyone else knows about/experienced even ever occurred. They'll contradict themselves in the same post. Sometimes even in the same sentence.
The simple fact is their brains don't work. That simple fact makes "arguing" with them a fricking fool's errand.
obsessing over "leftists" is your religion
