Roy Wood Jr. is hilarious and so is Hannibal Buress, pretty much anything from them is great.

Stavros Halkias has good specials, just don’t go near the crowd work (but that’s pretty much every comic).

Aamer Rahman is great and he just came out from hiatus, check his older stuff first and see if you like it.

Michael Che has good stand up too, even if you know him from SNL and don’t like his stuff there.

But then you remember you’re the USA

People still act like that’s a conspiracy theory today. I see mfs insisting it’s not or that it ain’t that bad and I gotta wonder if they’re paid disinfo, which, again, people treat like a conspiracy theory, but the US has by far the biggest psyop reach in the world.

The US did lie about Nelson Mandela being a bloodthirsty terrorist who would immediately genocide all the white people, but not about Hamas. Why don’t you condemn terrorists?

The state department did lie about Libya’s threat and was involved in the horrible dismantling of their state in favor of jihadi warlords, but not in Syria, why are you linking non credible journalists? No I will not check the leaked documents.

The CIA WAS confirmed to have instigated hundreds of coups as recently as the 2010s, but not in Ukraine. You’d have to be a bot to believe such nonsense.

The US did lie about Cuba being a brutal totalitarian baby murdering state, and did downplay how horribly exploitative and violent they were in their imperialism before the revolution, but you have to believe North Korean defectors, it’s not like they’re being bribed to say the biggest lie they can. Btw they had the Korean genuhhhhhh… War coming, they did invade the south of their own country and that’s the part the US wanted.

And you see some of those people here acting like they’re immune to propaganda, that they care when they blatantly disregard sources when presented to them on controversial topics (read: against the US State department line). As principled as they think they are, you talk about anything outside the US or whatever US vassal state they’re from, and it’s back to the chauvinism, but with a pink coat of paint.

I think Roderic Day had it right when he said this was an issue of westerners consenting to their own misinformation because they don’t want to face that they’re complicit by inaction in the horrible shit their governments do have done to the third world for centuries and continue on a daily basis. And Zizek does that shit all the time too, arguing for western chauvinist shit but for “leftist” reasons, like he did in Against the Double Blackmail.

That’s literally how this template is, though. It’s basically a madlib.

It’s a play on “my brother in Christ, you made the sandwich”. It’s just a template for people complaining about shit they’re responsible for.

Bruh lmao I just saw the username

The mexican narcos were utilized by the CIA in the Iran-Contra affair to smuggle cash and weapons into Nicaragua and in return they smuggled coke via CIA planes into US airports where it could be distributed with impunity. The CIA has also been involved in using organized crime as barely-distanced proxies in pretty much every region of the world, as outlined by Douglas Valentine in “The CIA as Organized Crime” in which he explores operation Phoenix among others mostly via CIA officers bragging on the record to him.

In the book, an agent says the CIA doesn’t do anything it can’t possibly provide plausible deniability for, and sure enough, when Camarena got whacked after uncovering some uncomfortable shit for the CIA and Proceso claimed they were involved, it was deny deny deny. Until it was shown that CIA operatives participated and then it was deny that the CIA itself ordered it, not that there were CIA ops involved. Former CIA agents, such as ex Director of the Intelligence Center in El Paso Phil Jordan have asserted as much

Man, I hear you. In tropical Mexico, whatever semi-dry goods we didn’t use up by the end of spring will be ruined and moldy within three days of summer starting. Most seeds won’t even germinate in like two months.

They’ll co-opt you if you do too lmao, as long as you’re already dead. They been co-opting Tupac ffs.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKO8qMJtbng this is from the 90s through the early 2000s, but I imagine you’ll find another reason to dismiss his words to pretend you know what was in his heart was different tho.

For the record, I don’t agree with his defeatist outlook, I think there’s comedians with better takes on American politics, but to pretend Carlin would be blue MAGA just because you wish him to be is ridiculous.

Yeah bro, the anti war hippie who was challenging the FCC in the 70s would have totally been team corporatocracy. Carlin had several interviews where he talked about how the two party system in America is an illusion of choice and ragged on Bill Clinton for being phony, and that’s the farthest left liberal candidate in like 30 years, a fucking neoliberal.

Yall sound exactly like the conservatives claiming MLK.

They’re not, they just think they are. They’re every bit as oppressed and the sharing of the imperial spoils hasn’t been a thing since at least the fall of the USSR, once there was literally no alternative. Now there is an alternative but the population has been so thoroughly propagandized that you mention any enemy of the State Dept and they start frothing at the mouth.

Which is why the rest of us is confused about why most of y’all so rabidly do the propaganda work for your oppressors. Y’all consistently get to the line of class consciousness and then do a 180 and sprint in the opposite direction whenever it concerns foreigners.
