the offensive comments:

We had some new lows over the weekend, with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,

full monologue

[-] mcbenavides85@piefed.social 174 points 2 weeks ago

Snowflakes.

[-] TwinTitans@lemmy.world 94 points 2 weeks ago

That’s offensive? I guess pointing out the obvious is just to much for them to handle.

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago

The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 41 points 2 weeks ago

Truth has a well known liberal bias.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 weeks ago

And yet they failed to stop any of this

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 8 points 2 weeks ago

Only so much you can do when the voters choose fascism.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

The only thing they needed to do was make themselves more appealing than fascism, and they failed

That’s just the actual events of record!

[-] TheMinions@lemmy.dbzer0.com 34 points 2 weeks ago

I was so certain that he was being cancelled over something else that he said, but no!

I watched the whole video here and that was it! In addition to some regular dunking on Trump about how he was in the 4th stage of Denial, Construction.

This is absolute insanity.

[-] Drusas@fedia.io 147 points 2 weeks ago

Mocking Donald Trump as well, Kimmel said on his show Monday: “We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it.”

That is so tame. And accurate.

[-] rozodru@piefed.social 91 points 2 weeks ago

Well I mean what do you expect? it's a fascist country, that's what facists do.

you think Nazi Germany allowed anti-party rhetoric or even anything that they could consider remotely offensive to them? no. they got rid of those people.

Americans, please don't allow yourselves to become more Nazi than you already are.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 12 points 2 weeks ago

Americans, please don't allow yourselves to become more Nazi than you already are.

What are we supposed to do? I always imagined in Nazi Germany that the govt was working against the wishes of the people and they just didn't fight back but Americans seem to constantly celebrate being stepped on and now I'm thinking maybe the Germans did too. I just never could have imagined humanity was capable of ignorance of this scale.

[-] Geth@lemmy.dbzer0.com 11 points 2 weeks ago

Germans did in fact like being stepped on just the same and when the war was over one of the biggest immediate issues of the allies was the de-nazification of the remaining population. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Denazification

Leaders like these tend to be a symptom of a deeper systemic issue, rather than a pesky bug you could just squash and move on.

[-] Cataphract@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago

I think it's just not how people feel and this illusion is one of the ways the Nazi party was so effective. You have bot's, paid-pundits, and controlled social spaces just like the propagandist's and silencing of the dissenters before. Look at any poll, local action, or how people around you actually feel. I live in deep red country and everyone who was so pro-maga before kinda are just silent at this point on the actions of the administration but can still focus in on the "them" like they're told. Only takes a few questions to break it down though with reality.

The breaking up of communities is one of the most effective tactics they have, it should be a focus of progressive factions to double down on keeping open communication between neighbors.

Extra crazy because he didn't even speak poorly of Charlie or say any distasteful comments. He didn't even really make a statement about the situation at all. He just said MAGA is trying to categorize the shooter as not them and played some clips of Trump being 100000x more interested in the new Whitehouse ballroom than the public assassination of his dear friend.

You can't cancel someone over comments they didn't make. This is pandering, plain as day. Same reason Colbert got canceled.

[-] parody@lemmings.world 17 points 2 weeks ago

Colbert cancellation was more clever. There are numbers that they could point to (though others that paint him well). They gave him a few months to finish things out. It was temporally too close to the merger talks but besides that the façade could’ve been worse.

This time it’s a nakedly anti-1A FCC. :(

[-] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 74 points 2 weeks ago

I do hope some reality tv stars speak out. It's a win/win either some networks grow a backbone or we get some trash off tv.

[-] Truscape 70 points 2 weeks ago

John Oliver's gonna have one hell of a field day on sunday

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 25 points 2 weeks ago

You know what they say, "Field day on Sunday, deported on Monday."

oh i know an orange reality tv star that will speak out for sure.

[-] Sibshops@lemmy.myserv.one 56 points 2 weeks ago

This isn't even cancel culture at this point. It's a violation of our rights to free speech.

[-] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Trump had Colbert cancelled and said Kimmel was next on Truth Social back in July: https://truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTrump/posts/114874422468516376

The FCC chairmen threatened ABC: https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/brendan-carr-abc-fcc-jimmy-kimmel-charlie-kirk-1236522406/

[-] Tempus_Fugit@midwest.social 46 points 2 weeks ago

Lmao, I don't like him, but that's pretty fucked. I don't see how anyone could view this as anything but harassment and intimidation. They really want a new civil war don't they? Accelerationists are eating great lately. That should scare the shit out of everyone, left and right included.

[-] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah I also dislike Jimmy Kimmel but his comment seems super tame

This must be this famed "free speech" that JD Vance lectured the Germans about when he visited Munich.

[-] Gork@sopuli.xyz 37 points 2 weeks ago

Isn't this that Cancel Culture™ that MAGA's always talking about?

[-] OctopusNemeses@lemmy.world 29 points 2 weeks ago

It's worse. It's state controlled media. Cancel Culture is about the population shunning individuals they dislike. In this instance it's authoritarian government.

[-] Doomsider@lemmy.world 36 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Wow, now they are just pulling whoever without a real reason or even a pretext.

It is cancel whoever we want because we can.

You only get in trouble for telling the truth.

This is wrong but fuck ABC. Go start some independent media and get a huge following. Fuck these networks.

He didn't even say anything other than the truth and played videos of the president himself ignoring the death and talking about his stupid ballroom that he was bribed with.

I refuse to deal with republicans who ignore these blatant fascist moves the adminstration makes. We would have had a normal country, but no. Project 2025 and the heritage foundation couldn't have that, so they bought donald the presidency and got elon to fund the campaign.

It's only a matter of time till people are arrested for talking out against donald trump and the fact he is a POS who ignores all law and order.

But many of us would rather be locked up than bow down to a pedophile.

[-] 58008@lemmy.world 13 points 2 weeks ago

We need to stop thinking that catching right-wingers in their hypocrisy and exposing it is actually going to achieve something. They know they have a double standard and that they get the clean end of the stick from it. They like that, and want more of it. They know they're doing cancel culture and are anti-freedom of expression. The belief that they might suddenly have a dawning realisation that they've been hypocritical and two-faced and will thereafter either shut up or change their ways is leftist 'pornography plot' daydreaming. We need to accept that they're unashamedly cunts who want non-MAGAs to be second-class citizens in every way possible. So trading blows with them on Twitter and posting gotcha "this you?" screenshots of them saying the opposite shit about George Floyd or whoever is just wasting everyone's time.

Voting is all there is, and that's not a good state of affairs to be in. But it's something you can actually work towards, at least. If you don't intend to vote against them, there's really not much use in complaining when they do their usual reprehensible shit like cost people their livelihoods because they weren't adequately-deferential towards a dead bigot.

Get ready for further change with the ongoing reshaping of the media (e.g. oracle). This is not looking good.

But I thought Elon said comedy was legal now 🥲

[-] ChonkyLincoln@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 weeks ago

I just want to say publicly that Charlie Kirk was a Nazi piece of shit
