Bill Burr is great and I don't think I've ever met a guy who didn't like him. Good politics too, and says them like a normal fucking person who can make a case without being annoying.
Some of the weirdo ass lemmy computer janitors in this thread seem to dislike him. Which means he’s probably on the right side.
The rest of this thread is bonkers. I have no idea what's happening
I mean, his “stop being a pussy, stupid millennials” schtick is pretty annoying. We get it, you drank from a garden hose and came home when the streetlights turned on. You’re so cool
He's gotten better about that, and usually realizes halfway through a rant when he's doing it, and shifts it to making fun of himself for being a cliche
Wait, I'm a millennial and also drank from a garden hose and came home when the streetlights turned on... What does that mean for me?
Guess that makes you Superhero
At this point, millennials mention the garden hose shit more than gen x ever did, and are more annoying about it. Source: am millennial, have seen people make these same exact tired comments for over a decade now
I'm gen x and I'd never heard the garden hose comment until just now. I never drank from a garden hose ... we just used the dog's bowl.
Bill is a class act. One of the best living comedians.
Some idiots on the right think bill bur is in the middle, how many times does he have to say fuck trump for those morons to understand. He deff not a establishment dem but he is deff a progressive
In terms of right and left he's pretty much the center. American "centrists" are actually right wingers in other countries. Heck, even the Dems who consider themselves leftists are actually on the right.
not all anti-trump people are progressive. plenty of center and right-leaning folks say fuck trump. not enough, but plenty.
also it’s not even progressive to say “don’t blame immigrants”. that’s just basic humanity and not letting republican fear mongering drive you rabid.
As someone who listens to his podcast regularly, he's a borderline socialist at this point, but he has blinders on when it comes to "both sides" bullshit.
It's probably because he doesn't want to alienate half of his audience, which I get. But it's super frustrating to hear because he's right there.
If they ask Bill, which the media does, he'll tell you, "Why the fuck are you asking me?" He knows his political views are and should be meaningless. He's a comedian. The news media is responsible for the mess we're in, stop asking comedians what they think and stop white washing fascism.
I don't really understand this sentiment. No one is asking him to run for office. He's an American citizen and he has a huge platform to speak on. Of course his political views have merit. You don't have to be a political science major to talk politics. This comment section is proof of that. Obviously he is only one person and no one should be informing theirselves soley in what he has to say, but like anyone else his words aren't meaningless.
It's his sentiment, not mine.
Lol great clip. I totally get what's he's saying. We don't necessarily need to ask him for his views, but he has 100% offered them himself.
Because Bill says enough crap that aligns with right wing views that they skip the rest.
And there's so many selectively edited clips of him out there. He actually brings that up in OP's clip.
Bill is a real American. I like that he's so anti-racist.
He might appear to be in the middle, because he also goes after Democrats. And while they might not be nearly as bad as the party of American fascists, Democrats are very far from being perfect. They have at most a handful of decent high profile people. Bill Burr is just reasonable and calls out assholes, no matter their affiliation.
With how often he's punches down on transgender people, he's definitely not a progressive.
"Bill Burr blurts 'Blame Billionaires!'"
Nice alliteration.
Stop blaming each other. The ones we should be blaming are the mega wealthy.
No war but class war
Exactly, all the major social conflicts are fueled by a few very powerful people to distract us from going after them.
Bill Burr has been saying a lot of 'woke' things lately, and I'm here for it.
Everyone says that, not just Burr
Unfortunately, not everyone and not nearly enough.
Not everyone on TV, though.
I keep hearing about the search for a liberal Rogan. But that person existed for a long time, we are just to busy talking about Rogan to see it.
