Complaining about comedy? How grim. If this was reversed, there would be a lot of outrage and tears from the Right calling him a snowflake.

Comedy is comedy, to cry about it is just ridiculous. There's plenty of comedy I dislike but I don't expect the world to change to suit my needs.

Yeah. I see that with my peers. It makes sense when most of our "adulting" is on the backend (post-college) rather than the frontend. We moved out on our own dole when we hit 20. That's very rare in some parts of the US now. It did create a major gulf between us and other people our age. I know too many people a little bit older than us who are still trying to move out. I think I read recently that more people are moving towards multi-generational homes... and so there's homes now being built with secondary kitchens/living room, etc.

Yeah, I think the problem with most of the Trump jokes is they are often self-referential. The punch-line is usually an afterthought as they're mainly inside jokes, so the comedians tend to think it is funnier than it really is. The viewer is not necessarily "in" on the joke.

Everyone can relate to being screamed at by people on the internet, for instance. Or accosted with new-fangled buzzwords by total strangers who don't share their view. Or having to "conform" to a silly policy that seems like a blatant conflict...

Crowder is OK, though I think his act is struggling atm after losing some of his main people. Another guy I recommend listening to is Adam Carolla. He's a Libertarian iirc.


Bill Maher is genuinely very funny even if I don't agree with some of his opinions. He will chew out his own left-wing audience sometimes when he thinks they're being stupid. And he welcomes all kinds of folk onto his show.

Simplistic and silly view of left-leaning if this is the first thing you think of as an example of your right-leaning political views.

I lean right on practically every issue, but that was just a possibility for part of it.

Yes, it was the one thing you highlighted to illustrate your right-leaning views. That was the point of my comment on it.

That's not a left wing thing anymore, no-one cares. The Tories legalised gay marriage in the UK, for instance.

I support gay marriage, but no Church should be forced to carry them out if they don't want to.

you said you've always been right leaning so was your position out of step in the past or it evolved with say, tory party?
No one cares here, but there's plenty that do in the us and other places.

I've never thought either way when it comes to gay marriage - it's more of a "yeah, sure, why not" rather than YES!

With the right, I think they are splintering. For instance, Libertarians versus hard-core Conservatives... the hard-core folk will call Libertarians "cucks" for being more pro-bipartisanship, more willing to compromise, just as an example. There's a similar phenomena with the Left, but what's confusing is from the right, they will say "leftists", but only mean the most extreme wing...

Rhetoric is usually inconcise.

Your experiences are not universal, Livia.

I actually have conviction in my views so they'll only develop with time, my core values or priorities won't ever likely change when it comes to politics so I won't just magically turn into a tory overnight because I hit 30.

Older and wiser than yourself a certain amount of time ago, yes.
But you being older doesn't automatically make you wiser than someone younger than you simply because of your age. That's where this stupid patronisation of the young is ridiculous.
