It doesn't even have to be that the message is bad or completely objective and propaganda fuelled, it could just be its often incredibly recited, copied and pasted or just a blatantly obvious good lesson that you are completely aware of.

Jon Stewart and other political comedians including late night hosts. They're full of jokes and fallacies. Sure, they're better than Ben Shapiro or taco Carlson but that's setting a really low bar. I do like Jimmy Kimmel, though. And I like Jon. I'm not denying these guys are not funny! Where is the collaboration? Where is using these platforms for doing something actual useful besides guffaws? And if you think they're doing something useful then where is it?

I sure as fuck didn't cry over Charlie Kirk getting assassinated. Did you? And I sure as fuck wouldn't cry if any of these late night hosts got taken out by some right wing maga fucking psycho.

They encourage you to "want to" laugh at something you probably should "want to" kill somebody over. These aren't Martin Luther King's. These are Charlie Kirks with a democratic base. They're ultimately just as divisive as the bigots and fascists.

Maybe they're peace bringers. Maybe they're just fire starters. Maybe they're complicit. The way I look at it is classes. All warfare is class warfare. And I'm perfectly okay with putting all their millionaire/billionaire asses on a rocket to Mars.
