He works perfectly for what he does. He makes stupid people think they're smart by making obvious political commentary sound like groundbreaking philosophy and panders to new liberalism. He also has an English accent which makes the average American think he has an IQ 40 points above what is actually is.

He's sort of like a poor man's Charlie Brooker for the masses (who himself is kind of like a poor man's Stewart Lee).

Damn lots of shade on John ITT. I think he's fantastic. Do I agree with everything he covers no some of his views on wage gap and gambling are a bit weak and unfounded but he covers tons of stories huge news channels ignore like the poison that is televangelism and the way that district for local government are carved out absurd ways to sway elections. I mean for ducks sake he purchased and forgave nearly 15M$ in medical debt. And even if you argue that it was for pennies on the dollar or that it was his studios money that did it who fucking cares he's doing good things and spreading information that may otherwise have been overlooked. I think he's great.

No no no I've argued this before and I'll do it again there is a visible gender wage gap that can be tracked. But it is decreasing as times get more progressive. Legislation and enforcement no any what needs to change culture is. Young girls should he taught to become doctors and encouraged to pursue the arts and sciences. Fields are male dominated because for generations women were sort of discouraged or dissuaded from pursuing them. Once we teach the female youth to attack their desires and their career goals as viciously as male we will see the change in the gap.

Stewart Lee is a pretentious clown who's long since disappeared up his own arse. 95% of his stuff is him trying to show off how clever he is but forgetting to make it funny. His wife is just as bad but instead of trying to appear clever she's a vile 3rd wave feminist banging on about wage gaps.

Charlie Brooker is awesome, shame we're not seeing as much of him now he has a kid.

Alright, thanks for not being jerk. It was long ago when I watched that video and I don't remember any particularly bad thing about it.

>>
>>693103949

that "15M in medical debt" was like literally in stage 4, only worth ~60k, and basically uncollectable and not even showing up on those people's credit reports any more. But thank god you bought his lies hook line and sinker.
>>
>>693102326
Damn... sounds like someone whose running for president. Hope you feel just as strongly about that guy
>>
>>693107820

there is a very strong arugment though that encouraging young girls is actually discouraging. If you give a girl a math test and just let her do her shit she does fine. If you give her the test and say, "I know you're a girl but I believe in you" she does fucking worse. All this bullshit about empowering women is practically shaming them into careers while making them feel like outsiders 24/7. It's a perfect example of the regressive left
>>
>>693107820
I think that's the biggest thing! If we want the wage gap to dissolve it's not laws that need to change its our social order. I remember getting into a big debate over this with my mother in law she took me shopping for her grandkids and bought the boys cool science kits and exploration toys. But the girls all got makeup when I remarked about she simply said "oh that stuff isn't for girls". THATS THE PROBLEM is you got a whole sect of people who believe that stem fields aren't for girls which raised a culture of girls who believed they aren't interested In them without even giving them a try. That's why I say the wage gap isn't a systemic or economic issue its a sociological one. Once those barriers are broken in more than confident that the wage gap will evaporate with it
>>
>>693108161
So encouraging girls to pursue careers is bad. And we shouldn't do it because they've never been challenged and challenging them will make them Fail?
That logic is so full of holes I wanna grate cheese with it.

His show exists for exactly the demographic who will vote against their own self-interests: Aka teens and tweens, ages 16-25.

Then they inevitably get older, realize how Le Funny Man on TV lied to them, and that they were fucking fools for believing it, just like the Jon Stewart (Liebowitz) generation.
>>
>>693108570
To add to that: Anyone who is young and unironically a socialist or a communist, you are invariably standing with the people who are screwing you and giving you every single problem you bitch about, as though more Marxism will fix it. You don't realize you're being played.

No, I won't debate specifics. You'll find as you grow up.
>>
>>693108161
"You're a girl but I believe in you" is not the type of encouragement I had in mind. I though of something like >>693108312 said.

There should be no reason for a girl to think they can't do or get something (that is clearly not male-exclusive) because they are girls.

I remember having one day a girl in a technic class. She never came back because of the instructor was overprotective and really emphasized that she should not be treated differently even though none of us gave a shit.

Nah. He's right. None of you faggots will listen. You'll just whine about "Faux News," and "one percenters," and "Koch brothers," and how socialism is soooo amazing (even though it completely wrecked Venezuela from prosperity to food riots in only 15 years ) and how everyone who disagrees with you is ipso facto racist and ignorant, and how you really care about the poor and uneducated yet immediately slander your opponents as trailer trash, etc.

"Debating" you imbeciles is a waste of time. None of you care about the truth. All you care about is 1) your egos and 2) justifying getting free shit and power over others. How a bunch of pot smoking, half educated undergraduate liberal arts students can convince themselves they're the greatest social and political minds in history is a wonder of the modern age.

The "gender gap" is a result of poor statistics. It's not comparing equal work (equal hours, equal experience).

Read a bit by Claudia Goldin (Harvard economist specializing in gender economics). Basically it comes down to women being more likely to play supporting roles in life. And it's not because of a sexist society, it's because we're a sexually dimorphic species and women are the natural biological caregivers. They give birth, they are more responsible, and they are more often better at caring for another human being.

Anyway, being that they are caring for others (mostly the children that grew inside their belly) they're more likely to take long periods off from work, go part-time, or take rolls that are lower paying but allow for more flexibility.

Anyone implying it's a result of sexism is either a buffoon or an asshole pandering to zealots, and is in the end underestimating women's intelligence and ability to find the facts.
>>
>>693108516
Your not encouraging though. You're ponting out the fact that she's different already and won't fit in. Its like how african Americans discourage their youth by saying they're aren't black enough if you're educated because their culture promotes gang life.

Northern Europe:
Homogenous, low crime, healthy, low poverty rates.

Venezuela:
Diverse, high crime, less healthy, high poverty rates.

Yea. Northern Europe is definitely a better predictor for how socialism would work out in the US.

Tbh though I'm not totally against socialized medicine. Insurance is already socialism. I believe our emergency care should be single payer, and that all other care should be a percentage based insurance coverage to encourage more competition in health care which would result in lower prices.

/biz/ here for you actually run equal work numbers the gap is like 3 cents to women winning by 2 cents dollar per dollar.

If you put in hours clocked though a gap appears.

So on paper Amy and Bill both get 8 shekels an hour but Amy takes a long lunch to get her kids so instead of a 40 hour workweek she has a 35 hour work week.
Play them out and divide unlike terms and viola gap.
We've run the numbers a few times.
With the recent ecomic trends more women are matriculating from higher Ed into jobs pretty soon male pay gap is the thing

>generalizing
We make generalizations because more often than not they work.
For example, a commieshit is more likely to be a liberal because guess fucking what communism is a liberal ideology.
A commieshit is also probably an undergrad arts student because they quickly realize they wasted all their cash on a meaningless degree in college and want everyone else to pay for their downfall.

>>693110751
Except most of Europe isn't even socialist.
Those Scandicuck countries I bet you adore are actually capitalist, it's just that the government spends money on social programs above other things. And no, basic services provided by the government did not originate with Marx.

All ideologies of Marxism failed so hard, they've left ghettos and millions and millions of poor people in foreign countries.
If it works, then explain to me why all nations who implemented true commun/socialism were shit with terrible standards of living.
No country with half a brain and half a heart is Marxist.

Everyone of you shitters use Europe as an example, and the EU as the halmark of achievement, well guess fucking what, it's no achievement at all.
The EU takes a potential population size twice the size of the US's and barely manages to get its currency above the dollar.
Most of Europe's per capita income is lower than the US's.

And then lets not forget, they live in countries the size of US states, with just a few million of nearly perfectly homogenized people (which seems to be changing quickly) of which there are few enough people to provide for that they needn't over-tax their citizens.
They're non-comparable with the United States.
