Really brave of them to do something so courageous and stunning
To be fair, they don't have many levers to pull
They're both billionaires. That's enough to swing a few elections and not even notice.

Sick burn.

#36So instead of Blame Canada they will sing Blame Brazil? When names collide everything start to lose meaning.
which benefits fascists, generally speaking. degrading global social communication enables the basal ganglia into the local us vs them. As much as I find satire amusing, a lot of it does not do what people think it does as effectively in this context. Sacha baron cohen, sining throw the jews down the well had a bunch of racists singing it with zero care what it's satiring. Dave chapelle did similar to black culture.…
It benefits all sorts of types of people.

#37Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well, I think both sides are the same to an uncomfortable degree. To quote Bill Maher: “Trump has renamed Lake Ontario to the Lake of America. Of course, the left knows you can’t just rename things for political gain, just ask any Latinx birthing person.”
Really bad example by Maher. There are much better examples where the 2 parties are frustratingly aligned to a large extent. For example, datacenters, ICE, and foreign policy. You can find a good number of democrats who are mad about Iran not because it's a dumb war, but because it wasn't done correctly by going through congress. Both sides are aligned pretty closely in making their donors happy above their voters. T…
Maher himself is a perfect example of this. He's a hardcore Zionist warhawk who has an ideology nearly identical to Ted Cruz, yet he's a "liberal" (neoliberal). He also had Democrat Van Jones on his show making fun of dead Gaza babies. While I don't think the media and politician class represent the public (at all!), they are as aligned as lasers on promoting Israel.

I have been informed that a common HN practice, is to have your sense of humor extracted, when getting your first colonoscopy.

Sarcasm wasn't designed for these people. They're simple people that will never allow themselves to be educated. Sarcasm is not for them, it's for the people around them.
You will never be able to stop the simple minded racist with your educational movie. He only consumes media that appeals to him. "Go woke go broke!" as they say. If you want to get through to him you need to appeal to his smarter friends and family. You can bring them together with sarcasm more than any other tool, because two people of opposing views can relate to the same media.
