 | For all those cheering the loss of Steven Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and press freedom in general, remember the words of Pastor Neimoller, in 1946, YOU could be next.
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me |

And there I did not speak out
Because I was not me
(By that point, I had become a vegetable, ready to do whatever they ordered, I had no thinking facilities left, no conscience, no personality, no emotions, and when they came for me I knew they were right, they had to exterminate me because the dear leader wished that it be so.)
because they do whatever they are told, they have no emotions ,or anything else mentioned.
I will probably blow ananas's mind when i type this but I think in the case of these folks talking the shit they talk, people should just stop watching them if they don't agree and then the viewership will dictate who goes and who stays. I didn't watch either 1 of them as i felt like they were just liberal mouth pieces with warped brains.
don't watch by choice, and frankly there will just be another liberal mouth piece take their place so nothing gained.
Ananas2xLekker writes I understand his English, even though his native language is Dutch. When I read what you write, even though English is your mother tongue, then more often than not I don't understand what you meant to write, not because of lack of information from my side, but because of lack of syntactical coherence in your writing.
2. The above is not meant to be an offence, but I truly don't have a clue of what you're saying above other than isolated excerpts from your sentences.
3. It seems that your answer, whatever it meant to say, was irrelevant to whatever I wrote. You do this kind of thing all the time. You don't even address the issue. You just sidetrack, divert and give irrelevant replies.
4. In fact, I shouldn't use the word "reply" because what I wrote wasn't addressed to you and, in fact, had nothing to do with you. All I was presenting was the eventually fate of people who don't speak up or act.
5. I can't be a democrat, in the US sense, because I've nothing to do with the US and also because that party is corrupt too. I would never be anything or belong to any organisation, religion, party, affiliation. I'm an independent human being.
6. I think I can make sense of what you are trying to say in the latter part of your diatribe: if someone speaks and says something uncomfortable to some others then those people should stop listening and just go away. There's freedom of speech, which is a basic human right, and so long as it's exercised without threat or violence, it should be treated as such: as talk that if you don't agree with you talk back, if you wish, without violence, or walk away. I'm in full agreement (provided I understand what you tried to say).
To blow my mind, you first need to say something profound and unexpected.
"I think in the case of these folks talking the shit they talk, people should just stop watching them"?
I translate that to: "people should stop watching shit"
Yes, 'shit' is bad for the mind.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here's the problem though: That 'shit' satisfies primitive feeling of fear, tribalism, anger, the need for control, jealousy, greed and resentment, while playing on religious dogmas, scientific ignorance and distrust, turning people against progress in social freedom, to make people fear progress more, and then direct that fear towards minorities, to blame them for the failures of civilization.
They use outrage as entertainment, while using the profit based motives behind the algorithms of social media, to get eyeballs on their content.
People are watching that 'shit', because it's the only thing they get shoveled right in their gob. And that means that the 'shit' can infect their thought processes so much, that shit tastes great to them. That's what happened to you. You love the lies that you get fed, because it satisfies your primitive urges. They made you hate whole groups of people. Now they can do violence and act out horrible atrocities on people, by just telling you it's 'those people' that you hate. That's what leopodij was addressing.
You like that 'shit' so much now, that you dislike anything that contradicts it. They have told you that not hating anyone is 'woke', which is bad, and hating people is common sense. Now you consume shit by choice.

"if they don't agree and then the viewership will dictate who goes and who stays"
Are you telling me that hate and bigotry are not popular?
"I didn't watch either 1 of them as i felt like they were just liberal mouth pieces with warped brains."
Who are you talking about?
"don't watch by choice"
Don't we all? Who is forcing anyone to watch anything against their choice?
"and frankly there will just be another liberal mouth piece take their place so nothing gained."
Again, who are you talking about?
My mind is not blown. In a cartoon world, there would be a big blinking question-mark above my head. What were you even trying to say?
Were you trying to say that everyone is free to say whatever they want in your country and that it's just pure views that result in their promotion or decline?
If you say that, I would ask you to think again. Is that consistent with reality?
liberal mouth pieces, colbert and kimmel. i never could stand to watch them, although i do understand the basics of freedom of speech being applied here and it being violated, their absence from the tv screen is NO loss
leo, english ,even when i was in college, was a weak subject, and since i had interest in the trades and not interacting with people on a personal level i didn't concern myself with getting a A in class.
why they are canceled and not your president doing his best to destroy them?
You know you're lying to protect your side. You hate freedom of speech.
In any case, that's not what leopoldij was addressing. Me neither.
I guess you understand that it's a horrible sign of rising authoritarianism.
Why else would you have brought it up.
In any case, canceling Colbert and Kimmel has worked out for you.
Jon Stewart of The Daily Show is shitting his pants and changed his tune completely. Congratulations! I'm sure you will like him this way:

I noticed that lots and lots of maga people, including your supreme leader, can't talk properly. Which is incredible. It's like saying they can't use their hands properly .
I don't watch any of those talk shows. I did watch some hodge twin vids for a while but got tired of their constant ranting about the same thing over and over. DO something about the issue and quit jaw jacking about it.
Trump is a pathetic little snowflake for coercing channels to cancel comedians who criticize him. That's real cancel culture. No Democratic president has ever done that. But you set the precedent now. Don't bitch when the next Democratic president cancels all your vile propagandists. Trump's time left on this earth is limited.
Trump is a fake without looking fake. That is his only skill, but he is a master at it, fooling lots of people who don't share your hateful ideology. You don't have anyone who can fill his shoes, and sell your ideology like he can. Then it's over.
Remember when you guys said "Comedy is legal again"? That didn't age well.
I will admit, about 14 years ago when involved in a situation with the US government, I had to use a office software to help with spelling on documents and such because it was very important that i get things as correct as I could but just simple conversation, perfect english is almost a burden, if you were among my family and many other folks in this part of the country, they would immediately assume you were a snobbish person because of the lack of personality in your speech.
Read again what I wrote.
