Liberal political subversion


This show was obviously geared towards young Bernie Sanders liberal type fans. A shame that hints of political conditioning taints this show so much. At first I had a glimmer of hope this show was going to at least be down to middle with the first episode's open political discussion but since that episode it's obvious a leftist agenda is in place just like most of the establishment media.

Calling yourself a moron is a little harsh, even if you lap up liberal agenda propaganda like a little puppy.

Jesus f-cking Christ I am getting so sick and tire of hearing about this f-cking goddamned retarded "Liberal Versus Conservatives" nonsense. Why do you jerks feel the need to drag that sh!t into everything? This show has nothing to do with a liberal agenda. In one scene, it very clearly tells both liberals and conservatives to f-ck off.

He was calling you a moron. Because you are. Because this show isn't liberal propaganda. You haven't seen all of this show, have you? Maybe you should watch the whole thing before you start judging it as if you know what's up because straight up you do not know what's up.

Now run on back to your FOX NEWS, they have some more sound bytes and catch phrases to teach you to repeat over and over again.

reply

Anytime a conservative disagrees with something (and gets his/her feelings hurt) they scream about the "liberal propaganda".

I'd bet my house that he/she doesn't consider FOX "news" to be propaganda b/c he/she agrees with it.

Remember, it's only "propaganda" if you disagree with it.

What happened to the Death Panels we heard so much about?

reply

Of course FOX news is propaganda. Any other stupid arguments you want to fabricate in your head?

reply

I don't watch FOX news jackass. Looks like you're a pretty bigoted *beep* assuming something like that. Care to share any more of your negative stereotypes?

reply

Did you seriously just "I know you are, but what am I" that guy?

I... just... I just have to make sure that happened. Like, I know that conservatives aren't exclusively older people... but... you must be particularly young. Right?

What are you a moron as well? I gave the appropriate response for someone jumping into the thread and just callng me a moron. And why are you typing like you are stuttering? Are you.... are you stupid or something?

reply

I don't understand where all you conservatives get off pretending to be surprised about Hollywood and television productions having a liberal bias. That's the way it's been forever. Seriously, have you ever watched Louis CK's stand-up? How is this a surprise? Go watch something else. If you like the rest of the show aside from the politics, but you know the politics will be off-putting going into it, then don't complain about them. I think Sesame Street is a good show for children but I don't go crying about the fact that there's not more adult humor in it, because I KNOW that going into it!

Anyway, "Bernie Sanders liberal type fans" is a real stretch of a label to put on this show, especially considering that it's coming from a guy who publicly called Donald Trump "Hitler" not long ago - a fact that they humorously referenced in the show. Every political discussion in the show pretty much presents both sides of the argument. If you see liberal bias in that, maybe it's because you secretly think the liberal side of those arguments is winning, but you're not willing to admit it to yourself yet? Because I think it's supposed to present a fairly balanced view. I think the show does a good job of presenting an accurate hodgepodge of political views that you'd find at some bar in Brooklyn.

reply

Paragraph 1: "Of course it's liberal. What, are you stupid?"

Paragraph 2: "The show is totally fair & balanced."

reply

Paragraph 1 was clearly about Hollywood and television as a whole and referred to prior expectations of Louis CK's material based on his standup, while Paragraph 2 was about just the show. Not difficult to follow.

reply

Louis CK...a popular artist, in America, with opinions and a point of view. Terrifying.


reply

Tell me how Louis CK is liberal.

Is it because he talks about common decency toward people?
Because he is anti-domestic abuse?
I'm curious about what traits of his you don't like.

BTW, if anything, I'm sure that CK pisses off some liberals because of the politically incorrect things he says. Unless they really pay attention and find out what he is really saying.

Yep, it is much more about being in the uncomfortable space between the trenches. These days even that seems more liberal as the conservatives are into digging mood and consider even just looking at that space a cardinal sin. They could be overrun in minutes, if the liberal trench was not that busy flinging grenades at each other discussing important issues like how many letters to at to LGBT to include every possible option and how people are immediatly worse than Hitler when forgetting any.

Are you that bigoted that you believe conservatives do not want common decency for people? That conservatives want domestic violence? Louis CK has expressed borderline socialist political views. From healthcare to abortion to gun control. He's a leftist. It's not that difficult of a concept to grasp.

reply

I'm not the one that said this show expressed subversive liberal politics. What in this show could be categorized as that, since you made the claim?

reply

If your take away from this is anything to do with liberals or politics in general then the whole thing's flown far over your head. They certainly talk about politics and liberal view points occasionally, but that's hardly what the show is about. Also, just because a thing is depicted doesn't mean it's some frothing at the mouth propaganda piece.

I think you are replying to the wrong poster.

I was addressing the OP on the off chance he's still reading this.

If you reply to the OP directly, they might get an email notification if they have their account set up like that.

Oh no, a "leftist" agenda how terrible. The left wing progressives are just the worst, what with wanting civil rights for all humans and for everyone to have a job and food to eat. Much better to stay the same all the time, year after year and never move forward and force everyone to be straight, white, Christian and selfish.

Leftists are so tolerant that they completely respect everyone and their worldviews. Except they turn into absolute bigots when they talk about straight christian white guys. You do realize you sound like a racist, sexist piece of garbage when you generalize people like that, right?
