I don't entirely disagree, but if you follow that thread down to it's philosophical bedrock, the basic argument is "we don't have free will to choose, so it's not fair to make fun of anyone for their tastes"

As far as I knew, the problem with the f word is that it denigrated gays, not that it was always wrong to attack someone's character.

No, things are funny. Someone being a juggalo has no impact on my life, but I'm not going to act like it isn't funny. Nothing matters, people still get made fun of. People who like to be peed on, that's funny. I'm not going to act like it's a civil rights issue when I make fun of Rex Ryan for being a foot fetishist

"Real-life cuckolds, meanwhile, are not too keen on their sexual identity being used as an insult"

I think cuck is a pretty good word, honestly. Cuckolding is funny. Me and my friends have made cuckold jokes for a decade. It's really a non-offensive replacement for the gay "f" word. On some mealy-mouthed milquetoast liberal like Arthur Chu, "cuck" could be the perfect insult. You're so submissive and timid that…

Yeah, it sounds like you got fucked. That doesn't mean that this guy should have his life ruined forever.

i agree it's rough, but Marlon Brando got shit for this too. If Harrison Ford got so fat he only wore shorts it would be a topic for ridicule too. People make fun of Val Kilmer for getting fat. I think there's a much longer cultural expiration date for men's fuckability, but no really one shits on Susan Surandon or…

no, @Trigun_Nazi might be dept of Energy though

that's a funny joke, but I'm pretty sure it's Scorpion from Mortal Kombat

Come on. And how big was the folder on what to use against Hillary? And how big was Obama's negative folder? There is always a giant folder.

I don't know if it's fair to give black people full liberal credit for their democratic proportions, but I also think it's bullshit to criticize the black non-vote.

I agree, that is not a strawman!

Arguing you can't be racist towards white people because we live in America is like arguing it's okay to say retard because it's a technical term

Ok, but that sounds to me like Bernie Sanders' platform. That sounds like class politics.

the colbert report changed my life, and I will always feel indebted to it for forming much of my sense of humor as a young adult. But his new show is not only predictably watered down and meandering—contrasted with finely tuned and incisive—it relies far too heavily on Stephen breaking the fourth wall.

Honestly, eloquence aside, I don't think it's that good. If we are to accept that people are suffering, why do we think the way to rally them is to say "ok, but look at these other people suffering more than you"

everyone missed that, including me obviously. We all thought that there would be a wave of anti-trump sentiment. But there was no wave, just apathy. I voted for Hillary like most of us here, but look at his Chuck Schumer quote (from June): "“For every blue-collar Democrat we lose in western Pennsylvania, we will pick…

Maybe this isn't your intention, but to me kind of thought reminds me of the people who still refuse to admit that they backed the wrong horse, refuse to admit that identity politics as a national rallying cry didn't work—"I'm with her"!—and that all the people harping about class politics had a point.

yes. I don't think it's good rap. I think it's corny.

Yes, Immortal Technique is the rap music for out of touch white people, not the exorbitantly priced broadway musical about the founding fathers
