imagine growing up in apartheid south africa as a mixed child of an "illegal" couple and coming out as a turbo lib who makes excuses for pigs shooting striking miners in south africa. fucking insane.
Just more anecdotal evidence for my pet theory that accumulating capital acts as a non-physical neurotoxin to the brain
Brah, it is actually proven that the wealthy lack empathy. I'm not even joking..https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0146167220914116
lmao fuckin knew it, I submit that capitalism be reclassified as a dangerous cognitohazard and contained/terminated as soon as humanly possible
quite possibly the least funny comedian on TV. I'm baffled as to how he got the job in the first place.
Especially when there were funnier people to promote from within
imagine if jon wasn't so racist and didn't have the falling out with Wyatt Cenac, of if they hadn't made larry wilmore's show do the shitty panel segments instead of the proven formula of 1 on 1 interviews
yeah. for the same reasons jon didn't like him. :deeper-sadness:
I believe wyatt was a pita to deal with also. It's probably also the reason you don't really see him any where
I mean, almost literally anyone else would have been funnier. but I get what you mean, lol.
Lol very good point, but yeah I was specifically pointing out that there were people already working at the Daily Show that would’ve been good hosts. Jordan Klepper for example
I suppose. I a little bit blame Netflix and the other stuff around it and think if he took over the Daily Show it would’ve gone better, but you might be right.
yeah. Not sure if they were still there at the end, but Larry Wilmore or Wyatt Cenac would have been better choices.
Just looked it up, when Jon Stewart left there were 5 correspondents, Hasan Minhaj, Jordan Klepper, Jessica Williams, Al Madrigal, and Aasif Mandvi. I think I would’ve preferred any of those to Trevor Noah. They also totally could’ve offered it to someone who had previously worked on it and left
Hell, if Stewart had left a bit earlier they could’ve given it to John Oliver, who’s been super successful with Last Week Tonight. That started a year before Stewart left though
liberals loved having a person say lines white people wrote
The two people on the team apart from Stewart who were funny(ish) got better jobs and they wouldn't spring for an established political comic because they're all either too chuddy even for libs or outright communists.
quite possibly the least funny comedian on TV.
The bar is so low in that respect. He's competing with the likes of Dave Chappelle and Dennis Miller and whatever-the-fuck that Rothaniel shit was. Dude had three jokes to his name, but that's at least two more than half the late-'10s comedy class.
after giving us one or two half-hearted chuckles during a tenure that lasted seven years,,
I didn't even realize it's been that long, I stopped watching within a few weeks of his tenure.
probably in the week of 2016 when trump impressions were still funny
oh so when you half ass your job for years on end, it's ok, but when he gets a call from the NWO and phones it in for an entire presidential administration, suddenly he's the bad guy?
Are they finally cancelling the show, or did we somehow find someone to lower the bar even further?
Remember his softball interview with :hillary: when he brought up :epstein: without actually talking about his many connections to the Clintons?
and he did it with all of the swag of a child wiping his shit on the side of his elementary school and running as fast as he could away right after
finally. what a huge tool.
probably to be replaced by charlie kirk or some shit.
Wow fuck that, I had no idea. I knew he was a useless lib but wouldn't have expected that reaction. One more reason not to like him
We've all seen it, but just in case you haven't or forgot
:picard-direct-action:
thanks for reposting. clicked this thread just to make sure someone posted it
I hate to say this, because it sounds biased, but I don't think Africans that come from Africa directly to the USA have the same view as Africans whose ancestors went through the Middle Passage and were brought as slaves to the Americas. Those whose ancestors were snatched and landed in the USA, Brazil, Jamaica, Cuba, etc have a bias towards labor imo. After all, they were essentially a captive labor force. While Africans of the Slave Diaspora can go hard right and neoliberal just like anyone else, no-one seems to cut quite as hard as a Black person who came from Africa without being enslaved.
Cue Barack Obama, Trevor Noah, Colion Noir, Kwarteng, etc. Africa definitely was brutalized by Colonialism on a genocidal scale, which is why they can produce Giants like Nkrumah, Sankara, but once they land here, they definitely are susceptible to rightward trends, classism, and anti-labor more easily..
Of course, it could just be because they are pushed by rightward capitalists more, but there seems to be a trend in my experience..
I think there's also the self-selection filter. If you understand that America is the great satan and the CIA is the largest impediment to progress on the face of this planet, you're probably not going to try to emigrate to America or the UK. If, however, you lack that perspective, why not go enjoy the colonial spoils in the rotting heart of empire?
Alternatively, the way to get from Africa to the US is by participating in the colonial spoils system at higher and higher levels. So folks who cross the Atlantic today are both heavily invested in the corrupt status quo and riding across on the rat-lines that Westerners laid out to evacuate their stogies when things go south.
I think that's more like selection bias. Rich people tend to be the ones with enough money to emigrate.
and die
then they'll just activate another one that's floating in the Noahtanks. Death is meaningless to him, he doesn't have a belly button.
posted cringe so hard that he got his bag and never has to work again
I still hope he gets a heroin addiction but game respect game
Grifters don't get a heroin addiction, they get a benzo addiction :jordan-eboy-peterson:
Today is a sad day for television, Trevor Noah was the rock that got me through the four years of the trump presidency, his humor brought a lot of comfort to millions of people in such a turbulent time, he’ll be missed in the same way I miss my pet hamster I threw into a blender.
