Crackers in the comments as always with the "we can't have healthcare because black people exist" shit. Transit and healthcare are always an issue of "homogeneity of a country" bro what the fuck are you on do you even hear yourself?
They never ask why the infrastructure isn't homogeneous. Red lining, sundown towns, priorities over who gets clean water. Fucking segregation laws making it impossible for black people to get seating on buses.
Diversity wasn't the problem. It was the systemic reaction to it.
The whole white flight to suburbia thing gutted city budgets around the whole country. If it costs five times as much money to deliver basic city services to the same number of people, that leaves a lot less room in the budget for other things.
The argument that crackers will respond with is even worse, which is that africans and arabs / middle easterners provide the kind of diversity that destroys a society, and Asians are the good kind of diversity, since they aren't thieves/criminals/drugdealers/w/e
Liberals view China as having the Han majority (bad, supremacists) and the Uyghurs (good, scrappy minority put down by the system) and perform no introspection on why their brains envision such a system
Kind of ironic to criticize Tucker for lying to make propaganda in the middle of this anti Russia propaganda. Jon could name plenty of countries he personally approves of that have free healthcare, high quality public transportation, and affordable food, so he is lying when he says that's the price of freedom. That's actually right wing bullshit.
My body won't cremate because of all the microplastics. I melt in the incinerator. My crying relatives are handed a blackened, charred hunk of what looks like plastic.
Can’t comment on the price but as someone who loved the subways in South Korea, NYC subways struck me as filthy, really loud, and ridiculously late. In South Korea they show up on the dot every few minutes from like 6AM to 10PM seven days a week. (They’d be running 24/7 if not for cab drivers.) In NYC I couldn’t believe that they can sometimes be half an hour late! You’re just supposed to stand around at the fucking station for half an hour? And they were so loud I had to plug my ears.
You should have placed the recommended timestamp about 20 seconds earlier, because I think that's the real highlight, when he sanctimoniously says "ask ALEXEI NAVALNY or any of his followers . . . "
Thanks, Jon, we're glad to have you back so you can sanctimoniously cape for a literal fascist. That's what late night "comedy" really needed, another finger-wagging liberal doing drive-by name-drops of stories he chooses not to understand in order to grandstand to scoundrels who are just a hair's breadth worse than he is personally.
Liberal media ghouls keep talking about Navalny like he was on the cusp of revolution, like he was leader of some mass movement in Russia just about to take power. My understanding is the average Russian had never heard of him, his only role in the state was something like a ceremonial appointment, an he wasn't in a party that held electoral power anywhere. It would be like saying Trump's main opposition was Gary Johnson.
If liberals actually wanted to talk about Putin's largest opposition in Russia, it would have to be the Communist Party. I know they're not great, but I've never heard western liberals mention them. Liberals probably think Putin is the head of the Communist party
There is zero - absolutely zero chance that Western libs will ever support any socialist or communist movement in the developing world. Except for the ones that are sus.
Dugin is another good example of Westerners not understanding Russia. Before the assassination of his daughter basically nobody in Russia had ever heard of this guy and he had no state power whatsoever. If you believed the left-liberal chauvinist vibe about Russia and Putler you would think he's Rasputin himself, whispering into Putin's ear everyday despite the two having no relations in reality.
If I can't escape this torrent of sorrow I'm drowning in. Don't worry. I'll take care of it. You'll hear about him a lot for a moment. And then not at all afterward.
Oh because that police crackdown doesn't happen in the US? Our politicians would never attack opponents protesting and inconveniencing? Been under a rock Jon? Actual journalism?
cough Assange cough
Oh it's not a 3rd Red Scare as I ooga booga about Russia and big bad Putin. It's culture wars and totally not wall street's resource wars. Yeah that's it Jon.
That was such a disappointing piece. Last week he was on fire, it was good to have good ole Johnny boy back again making fun of politicians, and then he follows it up with some weak ass shit.
i thought it was rich that he'd spend all that time shitting on tucker for being a bad interviewer (which he is, but) like stewart isn't himself also weakass interviewer as any viewers saw last week.
colbert's character was better with guests than stewart ever was
Even back in the day my lib ass was criticizing John for being way too nice to Republicans, John McCain especially. I get that a constraint of the job is that you can't be too mean to people or they won't come on your show but if those are the rules then maybe don't invite on anyone who's willingly signed up to murder children from 10,000 feet.
I actually liked many of his episodes on The Problem. Although it was sad he apparently was going to do a China Bad episode which is what made Apple pull the cord on it, ironically.
But wow, this last episode of TDS was just complete and unabashed lib garbage. Like they went, "oh no! we got a backlash from blue MAGA for mildly criticizing our senile great leader. what to do, what to do!? oh I know, let's replay the Best Of Jon Stewart Hits by dunking on some mid Tucker content that came out like 2 weeks ago (4 days before the first episode, which means they originally passed on it knowing it was low-hanging fruit). that'll do it! throw in some Russia Bad tripe for good measure, and we're back in business!"
And who are these fucking mid ass guests they keep having on the show? Literally who? These people have the most lowbrow babybrained political takes I've ever heard. Feels like I'm watching a dolled up MSNBC segment instead of hard hitting comedic political commentary.
I know deep down he's just a lib, but I'd come to expect more from Jon. Honestly I'm really disappointed, because I'd somewhat been looking forward to him hosting again.
the true blackpill as an American anti-imperialist is realizing that only like 1-5% of the entire population will ever be anti-imperialist until the whole thing starts breaking apart
