I dont understand the hate this guy gets on this board.
Wether you agree with him or not, unlike all his predecessors, he doesnt just say stupid fucking "current jokes" but actually offers a very interesting serious insight in political matters.

He's alright. I prefer the episodes where he talks about issues like dams in disrepair and shit rather than shaming a presidential candidate based on their heritage.
>>71106027
>smarmy affirmations of my opinions are high comedy
I hate people like you with a passion, no matter what you believe.
I heard a lot of shit about him but was pleasantly surprised when I checked some of his videos. I came back around to disliking him after watching his Brexit one. It's a shame how that one seems to be so far bellow the discourse quality of the others as he just resorts to name calling and fear mongering to criticize anyone on the Leave campaign. I guess reporting on Donald Trump created this bad habit among journalists and now they think they don't have to present anything in a fair light if it goes against their personal opinion.
>>71106027

Have you heard of this idea of the "meme", the selfish idea that propagates itself at the expense of other ideas. One strategy for a meme is to be easy to fill an entire vector with its presence, that is, to entirely drown out all ideas. Other meme propagate by setting themselves up to be indispensable. It's a bit like horizontal or vertical integration. End of lesson 1

He's tolerable, not my sort of humour or format but I don't hate the guy.
I think it would be a better show if he took a slightly more neutral stance on topics, obviously he can have an opinion but he seems to go too far and doesn't really present balanced points.
>>71106027
I understand the meme magic of being political on 4chan, but I'm honestly surprised how much genuine journalistic research his team manages to produce on subjects most channels wouldn't even think to report. I like his show even if he is a SJW BOOOGWOOGIE MONSTER.
>>71106184

He's a smug fucking cunt who has nothing relevant or interesting to say. He's basically neo-Jon Stewart, just sucking Liberal cock. And the only reason they eat it up is because of his accent.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sy52OXSVQqc
>Portrayals of our common humanity, citizenship, and morality are what’s missing from today’s me-against-you political satire. Moore and the Maher–Oliver–Colbert gang are only interested in assigning blame to their American opponents. Thus, contemporary political satire has become both self-flattering and hate-filled. Such polarization defies the idea that we all share a polity. Moore uses satire dishonestly, hoping to achieve small-minded ideological power.

4chan can't tolerate people who don't agree with them.

>That's like (something that doesn't go with politics) mixing with (something else that doesn't go with politics)

Not really. I watched plenty of talk show hosts in my lifetime, all of them which are pretty Liberal. Difference is that they were tolerable and funny and a lot of their humor was apolitical. This guy on the other hand is more forceful, smug, and opinionated. He has no clue on how to land a joke and his recent stunt that the EU is a good thing with his shitty tastic teeth grinning about was so fucking cringeworthy. Hope my Britbros across the pond get out of that shitheap.
>>71108365
He wouldn't trigger me that much if he was an American. But to come from the UK to the states and do a smarmy, holier-than-thou show where you preach your yuro libcuck stance on a country that you're not even from is ridiculous.
>>71106027
I couldn't finish his Brexit video I saw online. Basically he calls anyone who is for Brexit a racist and says that Britain should stay because Obama, The EU, and China want UK to stay in the EU.
He is the poster child of liberalism:

What the fuck are you talking about? The last episode he began by getting a picture of Trump with a Hitler mustache photoshopped on him and literally just said "Drumpf!" to rapturous applause, followed by no less than 15 minutes (I counted) of him pretending to be angry at a fictional accountant. Every time they mentioned Bernie, he had to stop for a good 10 seconds while people shouted "woo", and at one point a black woman came out and complained about black lived matter and Oliver simply shook hi head and said "It's 2016" while looking at the floor in disappointment.
>>71106027

>>71108714
The biggest irony is that they are fearmongering about Trump
He's funny but take his news with a pinch of salt, it's for the sake of comedy ultimately...
For example, in his Brexit video he slams UKIP as a party of racists of which there is an element of truth. They have their problem councillors, but same could be said of Labour or the Tories.

>>71108714
>Trump is a fearmonger, just playing off of your emotions!
>Now onto other matters... Let's get rid of those guns before you or your loved ones are brutally murdered
>>71109606
UKIP is all the nightmare shit Americans say about the Tea Party, only it's actually true.
The segments about defunct American systems are usually pretty good. They're well researched and usually free of bias, proposing investigation and scrutiny over actual solutions in any direction.
But social issue segments are brimming with bias and resort to calling opposing parties names or belittling them by mocking their ideals and opinions.
His show is better than most. Even if it's just by virtue of the show's airing schedule and format.
>>71106027

>>71113167
He won't. He'll definitely do his damndest in the upcoming months to point out flaws and inconsistencies with Trump though and talk about why he thinks voting for him is a bad idea. The best he'll ever say about Hillary is maybe that she's the lesser of two evils and not voting for her is dangerous for the country.

As he should. This is the only sensible, moderate position since the Republican Party is about to nominate an unqualified, stubby fingered racist to the highest office in the land.
Besides being funny as hell, Oliver is practically a patriot for taking Drumpf to task. People are fed up with the media treating both sides fairly to try to seem unbiased when they clearly aren't. Hillary is the only legit candidate left who's fit to be President.
>>71114623
That was in response to him repeatedly attacking private citizens that disagreed with him using his status as a leader as a weapon for harassment. You make it sound like he did it out of the blue. He was speaking to power and responding in a way to illustrate his point.

No it wasn't. The quote you were talking about was in reference to women online being harassed for being women online, and the campaign you're referring to was in retaliation of 18 year old private citizens being harassed online by thousands of people and the president of their country. It sounds pretty consistent. He thinks you should be allowed to criticize your leaders without being afraid they'll give out your name and personal information on national television and encourage people to harass you.

He parrots and panders to a liberal audience. He has never changed anyone's mind on any matter because everyone who watches him already agrees.
>>71116579
Couldn't the same be said of most media outlets today though? There are so many shows and news outlets and podcasts representing every slant and bias that people generally just gravitate towards and surround themselves with the ones that reflect their view of reality. Why single LWT out for something everyone is unfortunately guilty of? At least it's not like Fox News where their viewers actually come out knowing less than if they hadn't watched at all.

I enjoy his stuff.
Sometimes, I stay slightly skeptical of what he's saying because I've never researched the topic myself and probably never will.
Yet I still enjoy it.
People criticize him for being matter-of-fact and smug. Mostly people on 4chan.
Which is ironic, because there's not a single place where more people use the word "literally" in statements about their own opinions than 4chan.
This place is cancer.
>>71116835
I don't think you know what ad populum means. I'm not saying 50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong, I'm saying why single out LWT for something so many more people do to such a larger extent. In a room covered in shit and piss you're complaining that he spilled a crumb.

Well then why the disproportionate hate? Why aren't there daily threads about how terribly Michael Savage, or Rush Limbaugh, or Sean Hannity are preaching to the choir and not promoting active discourse? And those are people in the media that are actively trying to drive a wedge between different groups.
>>71109606
The problem with saying that UKIP are a racist party is that they're not an inherently racist party, it's just that due to being further right than any other major party UKIP is much more likely to attract the far right mentalists than the rest of the parties, especially since the BNP died.
Same deal as Trump, I guess. I don't believe that he's a racist, but he definitely has the support of racists.
>>71106027
He doesn't have insight though.. he just regurgitates popular opinion, if popular opinion was to deny the Holocaust he would be first on board.
>>71117562
dont know dont care
>>71108349
Conforming to the two party system
>>71117638
The difference between UKIP politicians and Trump voters, is that the former are people with considerable positions of power. When quite a few have been caught making racist remarks, you have to wonder about the rest of the party.
John Oliver even brought up the fact that Farage defended the offensive actions of one of his party mates, instead of apologising or trying to smooth it over.
>>71117562
Because only mentally stunted Southern housewives would hold up Rush Limbaugh as a champion of truth and justice. Whereas I could go on Normiebook right now and find a whole passel of folk hailing John Oliver as the funniest, most incisive, most physically attractive truth-telling political satirist of the modern age.
>>71106027

It's a current events entertainment show, why on earth would you be looking it for insight? Also there's a reason why denying the holocaust isn't a very popular opinion. It's hard to argue it didn't happen when we still have people who survived it alive and able to confirm it.

Alternatively, watch Hillary get elected and have Jon Oliver and Stewart defend her every move. While all the people who supported Bernie tune out in disgust. A significant number of people on the Left hate that woman.
>>71117863
because shes not real left lol
literal yes man woman
I kind of thought when his show started he would be focusing on the smaller stories of the week, the less political ones that were lost in the shuffle
but fuck that, they're intensely political every single fucking week. And he's just not as funny as Stewart or as likable so it falls flat being so overtly political and one-sided.

I will give you all the money I have in my wallet if you can produce one instance of anyone calling John Oliver the most physically attractive anything at all.

This is the main reason I can't stand it when my family watches late night political talk shows.
Also, it's essentially using comedy as a front to prove their point, and falling back to "it's just comedy" when they're wrong. I'd call it pleb politics but it's still a form of rhetoric so maybe that makes it great politics.

Memes, like stereotypes and archetypes, exist for a good reason. Don't pretend otherwise, and don't discount the opinion of others on that basis.

>can't refute any of his points
To an extent this is evident. Anytime someone mentions him or links one of his monologues about a topic the responses consist of just meme spouting and people whining that they'll never watch him which is pretty much the lowest you can go when discussing or debating a topic.
>I-I-I REFUSE to listen to a point, provide more counterpoints and raise the level of public dialogue and keep everyone informed!
>Starts the Drumpf shit just to sell hats to dumb college lefitsts

I'll always find that image funny because it aired like two days before 130 people were killed in Paris.
Does anyone else remember Paris? I'm sure most people have forgotten by now. MUH 50 HOMOSEXUALS is much more relevant.

Kek like this guy is the staple of political discourse. You are grasping at straws, there are places for informed and respectful discussion, just not Youtube comments of a comedy show.

I didn't even say I agree with him, but god forbid he incites debate instead of just encouraging people to plug their ears and yell LALALALALALALALA like an impudent child.

Memes are repeating someone else's lexicon per verbatim. If you were here for more than 2 months you'd realize greentext is intended for quotations. Then again, that's exactly sort of the garbage I'd expect to hear from incompetent primates like you, so I really shouldn't be surprised I'm having this debate.
Get fucked, cocksucking retards.

There's a difference between changing your name from Drumpf to the more English-sounding Trump and changing your name from Leibowitz to Stewart so you can subvert children without arousing suspicion

Maher nearly always has a token conservative on his show and he often argues against liberals.
Other than that based Armond is right once again.

Yeah I guess if John Oliver talks about how the doggie made poopoo on the carpet featuring regurgitated opinions extracted directly from his twitter feed it incites plebs like you to have a """"debate"""", but for an intelligent individual such as myself this shit is just worthless, there are much better places for me to discuss with politically informed people.
The fact that you think John Oliver is breaking any new grounds with his points and doesn't deserve to be anything but laughed at is hilarious
>>71117863
the only way hillary wins is if dems and reps work together to rig the election, not saying it isn't possible
>>71119275
Do you ever listen to yourself speak?

>thinks I think John Oliver breaks new grounds
Here is your reply.
Can any liberal in this thread explain to me why racism is bad? It comes up in a lot of their reasoning but I don't think they actually know what racism is.

Aren't you the one against arguing using memes?
