Thread 212987292

I'm not a politics guy, but I've always loved these two men and I'm just so glad to see them in full gear.

If Colbert wants to retire after this I'll understand, but a spiritual successor to the Colbert Report would be fantastic right now.

>>212987292 (OP)
I imagine Colbert feels very free now, because though he did serve the role of DNC public mouthpiece, he seemed very unhappy with the position and expressed this frequently. He’s a smart guy and a Catholic so this whole thing must have been soul crushing

How much do you get paid for this

>>212987467
He was always anti-right but I don't know if that necessarily means he's pro-left

WOAH! THE BAIT IS OFF THE CHARTS WITH THIS THREAD!

>>212987292 (OP)
Colbert was peak when he was on Harvey Birdman Attorney at Law
David Letterman was too fucking good, the Lineup of Letterman, Conan and Ferguson and then Stewart/Colbert was just way too kino, TV will never hit these peaks again

>>212987467
What do you mean he loves the vax-scene.

>>212987292 (OP)
Colbert's been subtly teasing a return of the Colbert Report. would be cool if it came back

I wonder if Jon ever gets second hand embarrassment from his underlings like Colbert and John Oliver and the handful of others who have faded into obscurity

Sorry Stephen, but you'll have to try harder to get Jon to hire you back.
on your knees boy

>>212987569
the guy he was mimicking hasn't been on television in 8 years

>>212987695
after the way he shit all over his attempt to do a bit on his show during the covid years because it even hinted that maybe we shouldn't "trust the science" he's deserve at least that much

>I'm not a politics guy
you never realized you were watching a political show?

>>212987582
you post on 4chan, everyone is smarter than you, you do nothing faggot fuck

>>212987787
if they can dig up the corpse of every 80s movie colbert report could come back

>>212987873
I'm a left-leaning libertarian so very little on those shows was ever offensive to me.

I don't know why there's this prominent idea that 4chan is exclusively alt-right. People on the left or in the middle just sort of let you faggots screech yourself to sleep because we're generally more interested in our hobbies or fictional media.

>>212987556
Yeah man I don’t know about that, he doesn’t write his own material, you know. He’s not allowed to improvise messaging or policy. He was ordered to do a circus jig for vaccines.
>>212987504
Yeah I think so.

>>212988125
Extremists have problems assuming everyone shares their extremism. They prefer the idea that they are a massive army in waiting, so they assume the masses are full of their comrades

>>212987292 (OP)
omg he said the fword and said trump had penis envy very biting criticism

>>212988125
When people learn ideology through peer pressure, they do it to ‘fit in’, so it’s funny when you take them out of that peer group and see how they still try to earn your approval using the extremist’s message

LOOK EVERYONE, HERE >>212987467
A COMPLETE RETARD

>>212988585
I’m not saying the guy’s secretly right wing, I’m saying it must be life-changing to finally perhaps find some peace after being such a stressed cog in the propoganda machine

yes, when people are in their echo chamber they just think what they are hearing is normal and unremarkable.
>I don't know why there's this prominent idea...
nice, I think you should reread this part of your post over and over until you see the problem with it.

>>212988669
he's a true believer anon

>>212988669
>stressed cog
lol

>>212987292 (OP)
I would love it if they brought back Colbert Report but made it even more Fascist/RWE but without any irony or studio laughs. Just Stephen watching clips of minority on white violence and endorsing genocide again and again

>>212987540
This was a pretty badass quote

>>212988752
Maybe. I really can’t tell if he’s all-in or crushed into service
>>212988777
Even if he’s a full believer, it’s not a good life, and he doesn’t write his own material. He can’t just go on his show and say ‘I understand the controversy about vaccines’, he starts the new episode 23 hours after the last one ended and they give him scripts and costumes to perform with.

Extremists are literally just hylics. They can't actually argue their opinions because they're not theirs.

>>212988863
Exactly, plus when you decide to be an extremist, that means you have to do and believe extreme things. The whole thing starts at ‘normal isn’t enough’ and from here the strategy is ‘don’t be normal’. So you just start saying shit people won’t accept, for the very reason that they won’t accept it

>does the classic colbert report face

is he bringing it back?

>tfw i'm a centrist neolib

Didn't think some of you would unironically believe in the Nazi jokes we were making.

>>212988924
I'm very abnormal but I don't put on a mask of being even more abnormal

most extremists really just actually are the Colbert Report character -- they're playing at being considerably more extreme and ridiculous than they are so they ALWAYS can fall back on "that was just an act, I never REALLY believed it"

they are disingenuous people and almost exclusively narcissists

The clip where Jon Stewart blames China and the Wuhan lab for the covid virus, while Colbert squirms like a worm.

a terror of growing older, manifesting precisely not as fear but rage-- rage at how the world that once belonged to you, or should now belong to you, is being wasted on everyone else

>>212988125
4chan used to be a predominantly left-lib website until sometime between gamergate and the 2016 election. Then the zoomers began flooding in, most of the older userbase left, and now it's an unironic nazi hellhole.

>>212988125
>left-leaning libertarian
There is literally no such thing

>>212989447
It used to be a Libertarian website.
We supported Ron Paul twice.

>>212989447
4chan used to be apolitical. get out.

>>212989504
I can identify as whatever I want

never watched Colbert
if he got cancelled because of poor ratings (which he didn't) that would be fine
but he got cancelled because he kept shitting on an increasingly unstable individual, and that's just fucking hilarious
MAGA were the real snowflakes all along and we all knew it

Who watches this shit?

>>212989447
so then why did it always have a reputation as a nazi sesspool?

>>212989713
yeah, you don't have to watch something to check its ratings, what's your point?

name on instance of this.

>>212989684
this but unironically

The demand for Nazis far exceeds the supply. So, naturally, anyone even slightly right of Mao is called a Nazi.

I can't even comprehend how low your iq must be.

>>212988482
You can scream your buzzwords as much as you want, redditor, but your politics are objectively nothing but destructive nonsense. Open borders and leftist authoritarianism isn't moderate or liberal. None of you dems are real liberals.

>>212988482
>>212988125
Desu, I think you'd have to be low iq to not be rightwing as a white person in the West nowadays. You must really suck at pattern recognition and ability to reason.

Trump will be gone in 3 years and it will all bounce back to normal. Why are you such drama queens?
