They know that they're hypocrites. The love it.

    I guess what I don't get that these people get is a sense of power by bending reality for the benefit of themselves, instead of a sense of power from understanding the nuances of the universe, or at least attempting to.

    The source of their satisfaction comes from hurting others, rather than improving themselves.

    Absolutely coorect, and I just realized how impenetrable of a cult you can create if you just base it's entire existence on a single rule of being aware and satisfied of being hypocritical. Thank you, who knows, might turn out to be useful some day!

    I look forward to the pearl clutching when literally the entire world is celebrating. I'm saving a nice scotch for the occasion.

    The Republicans don't care that they are hypocrites. Their electorate doesn't care they are hypocritical. These tweets are not a gotcha, it's just engagement bait.

    In-group to protect, out-group to bind. That's all.

    Ya know, I don't really like Kimmel: growing up he and Adam Carolla (lol) did the man show, and even as a kid I just thought he was a not-funny low brow asshole. But I'm glad he's stirring the shit-pot here. Let it not be a typical media distraction, but a continual provocation for these pricks to be sloppy and show their hand, and a call to action for enough of the American people to wake up and start saying no to the shit that is eating them alive.

    I can’t help but remember it’s a big club and i think Kimmel is in it.

    So then i think they all in on it and aren’t as mad as they are acting.

    I also can’t stand Kimmel for so many reasons. He really isn’t funny. The only funny part about this distraction is that Trump isn’t wrong on what he says about Kimmel.

    Indeed, though I believe it is a tiered club. Millionaires eat shit and do immoral/reprehensible things for their paycheck, and generally have to testify to the ideology in some fashion. Billionaires eat comfortably atop those particular servants, I'd speculate.

    Kimmel's in the millionaire tier and is very appropriately mediocre. It's almost weird how he's so much the same as when I was kid watching comedy central. Just a little more pc and mainstream (misogyny isn't as broadly acceptable anymore, I guess?).

    I just like that he's bringing attention to the absolute disgrace of it all and a broad audience is at least in earshot. Like, maybe it'll help. And I personally wouldn't go so far as to give Trump credit for being correct about anything. Chalk that up to broken clock syndrome.

    Kimmel said something like,"Melania has the glow of an expectant widow" and, after someone translated it for Melania, she got angry. Then the winger snowflake brigade started their bitching and whining. Oh yeah, and the head of the FCC made another threat to broadcasters licenses if they keep not toeing the party line.

    “I’m too lazy to use google or ChatGPT. Please think for me. Also feed me and change my diaper.”

    If you encounter something and you don’t know what it is, a search engine should at least be the first place you stop before demanding that a random stranger do your thinking for you. This is a lesson that most people learned 30 years ago.

    Before that, most people were, at least, polite enough to go to a local library (or relying on their education) before demanding a stranger do their thinking for them. At least, back then, we had some shame in publicly admitting that we were ignorant. and even more shame in admitting that we were so lazy that we would demand random Internet strangers to do our thinking for us.

    And downvote me all you like. You know I’m right. And shame on all of you.

    You’re right, by my point was about why the difference is important. If you’re clever enough to make this remark, surely you get that. You don’t want a future run by idiots, do you? We all have to live with those people running the world after us. That doesn’t sound great, does it?

    So just to be clear: People who ask questions from other people are idiots to you? Seems to me like youre the one in need of asking some questions to stop being a sociopath.

    And by the way, I would much rather have the world run by people who engage with others to look for solutions, even if they dont know everything from the start, instead of people who pretend like they are perfect and try to "solve" everything by themselves or with the help of AI (which sounds very much like the US government right now).

    If you consider typing up 3 paragraphs of disparagement a better use of your time than sharing the knowledge with other people, you might want to touch some grass.

    You should be embarrassed, because you had to lie about me throwing a tantrum when I made a simple observation and a valid point.

    If I was throwing a tantrum, you wouldn’t need to make a comment in the first place, and you would have responded with a rational argument, not a cartoon.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I bet you still use words like “condescending” when you hear things you don’t like, lol

    How strange it must be for you to consider yourself intelligent yet to still have children speak down to you… What an odd experience that must be… how puzzling and strange… Tell me, have you figured out how to tie your own shoes yet?

    Your best counter argument is to make an unverifiable claim as some rando on a public forum where your comment is as meaningless as mine, lmao… The best way to contradict me is to ignore me.

    But I guess we can’t all be so clever… ;)

    So, tell me… why would anyone believe a word you say?

    Goomba fallacy everyone, the same people, outside of mainstream influencers running a business on this crap, are not holding these directly conflicting stances in >90% of cases. Don't fall for efforts to dehumanize those that disagree with you and just ask questions instead. Why do you think this type of rhetoric is bad? Should comedians be held to the same standard as lawmakers and enforcers? Why or why not
