Let’s not assume a comedian still whining about ‘cancel culture’ is that much a deep thinker.

You're going to have to say more, as there isn't much to work off of from your comment.

Also, I'm not saying there isn't room to criticize Burr here. I think there is.

Actually, he is a surprisingly deep thinker... if you can get over his high level of ignorance. (Which he himself readily admits.). And his complaints about cancel culture are pretty dead-on; he complains about the ridiculousness of many of the left's biggest complainers... criticisms which are 100% valid.

Deep thinker in the vein of joe rogan...

Yeah, similar to Rogan actually, although Bill Burr's brain works a lot gooder. (IMO.)

Sol is always bitter about Joe Rogan for some reason.

Rogan shows a natural curiosity and interest in learning, but often can tell his ass from a hole in the ground.

Burr has this aura of trying to be the smartest dumb person in the room, so he’s actually worse than rogan in that regard.

You can only tack on "But I'm a moron; what do I know?" to the end of all your "the Left is the REAL problem" rants (with only the rarest, most indirect, mildest condemnations of Trumpism) before it loses its effectiveness as a free pass. He's actually worse than overt, full time Trumpee cock-holsters because he and his fans claim plausible deniability behind "Hey I'm just a pro free speech free-thinker!" crap.


He's every dirtbag moron Masshole Southie stereotype rolled into one.

I've rather aggressively avoided learning anything about Joe Rogan.

No, Bill Burr's complaints about "cancel culture" are not dead on. out of a billion people on Twitter, there are probably a few people who really want to scrub all references to John Wayne from our culture because of his 1967 Playboy interview, and if I want to, I'll be able to use the search function to find all of them for my content hungry, Attention-starved blog to prove that "they're trying to cancel John Wayne. Three Tweets seems to be all it takes to prove something is a trend. I've seen three tweets used by pop culture blogs to prove that people hate Anne Hathaway, and that they don't think Jennifer Lawrence is adorkable any more.

Sometimes it seems like the internet is making people stupider, but its actually making stupid people louder. There's always someone to object to anything, but very few things are ever truly canceled, and CANCELL CULTURE has now been weaponized by the right to deflect criticism. So, yeah, that made me wince.

>> Sometimes it seems like the internet is making people stupider, but its actually making stupid people louder.

I knew there was something comin' that'd be worth my precious stars.

Yup, JHM's take is a good one here, especially the bit about aggressively avoiding learning anything about Joe Rogan.

YES!!! Exactly!!! Your point about liking him the same way you like Bernie Sanders is exactly how I feel.

"I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility," the actor said. "I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people."

He was a drunk, racist, McCarthyite reactionary. He's not worth celebrating as a person, but still made some good movies. Oh no, cancel culture!

How will he make a living if he gets canceled?!?

When you're a kid you typically think your dad is an awesome hero and then you turn like 13 and realize he's actually kind of a dipshit.

There are people who spend their whole lives wishing they could take that realization back, and these are the people who bitch about cancel culture and statues and shit.
