He’s definitely a bit of an asshole, but at the end of the day, from what I’ve seen from him over the years he does have his head on straight on a LOT of issues.
I don’t even think he’s an asshole, honestly. He just has no filter against stupidity.
Tbh that’s probably a big part of why I think his head on straight, because I’m kinda the same way in that regard
That’s a good point I think but I’d argue that’s kinda a recipe for an asshole. Especially if you think you’re always right and everyone else is stupid. Not that I think that’s really the case with burr (I mean he can definitely be a bit of an ass sometimes but who isn’t) and I don’t have much of a problem with him at all but I think you’re description kinda only makes a person conditionally not an asshole 😄
Shhh, that’s what people were saying about Dave Chappelle before, you know, all the stuff he’s said recently about trans people
I assure you no one was saying that about Dave Chappelle. That dude has always been a racist jackass. He just happened to be funny for a short while.
Honestly the most annoying thing about the trans people shit is he just goes on and ON about it, and his jokes about it aren’t even that funny if you’re trying to look at it from a bigoted perspective. Like it’s not good material. It’s BORING dude. Why do like two whole specials where half of the time is you talking about it.
He’s definitely gone into territory that I think some people find “offensive”, but I personally find to just be blunt. Maybe it’s the old school Bostonian vibe, which I understand as a Bostonian, and some people not from the region don’t necessarily.
So? People get so hung up on their right to remain unoffended. That’s not reality - it’s hiding. Our collective thin skin is getting shredded. We all need a dose of “wake the fuck up and smell the bullshit” more often.
I do not care for him using homophobic and ableist words as insults, but he’s from Boston so it doesn’t surprise me that he does. Other than that, he seems like a decent guy.
What homophobic and ableist words does he use? I’m trying to think of times when he said one and nothing is coming to mind.
Seeing stuff like this in the uplifting news community instead of shit like ‘local kid spends 60 hours a week selling lemonade to pay for sister’s cancer treatments’ is why I appreciate Lemmy vs Reddit.
That interview on Jimmy Kimmel has an obvious edit shortly after Bill says “free luigi!”. I’m not sure if the producers of the show cut the crowd reaction or something else Bill said, but something was definitely cut out.
Always fun when Bill Burr makes a talk show host visibly uncomfortable. I’m worried they’ll stop having him on altogether. Supporting Luigi might be crossing the line. I dunno how Jimmy Kimmel feels about Luigi Mangione, but I know how the people who sign his paychecks feel.
If they can’t get people to hate Luigi, they’ll shift to getting people to forget about him.
I don’t watch Jimmy Kimmel, is he just a bad interviewer? Cuz he sucked. Even the introduction was bad.
He was the guy what did the Man Show, right? The one that featured chicks on trampolines?
He’s gone downhill
The show that kept Joe Rogan in the public eye between fear factor and his podcast? Yeah, fuck that noise.
It’s against the rules of lemmy.world to call for violence against insurance companies, and the people who work for them, so I won’t. But I don’t think it’s against the rules to imply I would if that wasn’t in the rules.
Unfortunately it’s the jurisdiction that they operate under that enforce some of those rules.
Did you know that it’s illegal to say “I want to kill the president of the United States of America”?
I’m surprised to see this comment and the amount of upvotes.
Doesn’t this break the PC bubble, where every person who works a mediocre job is a good person and no matter how disgusting the company is, you should never take your frustration out on them, yada yada yada.
But if it’s an insurance company it’s okay to commit violence?
Yup, thats it. People are literally saying that its okay to commit violence against anyone who works for any kind of insurance company. Even the cleaners of a home insurance firm.
Well done you for understanding the situation.
Fuck you lot are a bunch of sour puss losers.
My point is, seemingly 90% of the American public are so blinded by their views, living in an echo chamber that anything the other side does is bad and everything they say is flawless. It’s fucking madness.
Eeeeehhh… depends on negative individual impact on society and personal gain? I think the barely surviving insurance Employee should never be the target, what are you implying here? Have the insurance office shootings already taken over the school shootings? What meta level of could should have we reached to Dodge the ban?
Different people
I believe a revolution that is gained through blood is doomed to become oppressive
Look at China for instance
Other people disagree and feel change cannot happen without violence
