All the late night "comedy" hosts are really interchangeable - hysterical political hate-rants, vacuous celebrity interviews, lame skits, and endless smugness.
I'll make an exception for Conan O'Brian who actually has some comedic talent.
Both are the same. Well in a way, you see as a shape shifting lizard (it's true, have you ever seen them consume human food?) Two characters portrayed by a single lizard with a hive mind. So your answer is a little complicated
Jimmy: "Why don't you like Hillary?!" Rosanne: "I didn't agree with her foreign policy." Jimmy: "I dIdN't AgReE wItH hEr FoReIgN pOlIcY" Rosanne: "Well- what did YOU think of it then?" Jimmy: "Wha- pfft- this isn't about her foreign policy!"
I wish more people would read "fahrenheit 451". It's kind of silly to just cry orwell all the time, especially when scenes from 451 play out in american media without any self-awareness.
Followed closely by "we just don't want our president to fail," which people like her then pretend they never said the next time there's a Democrat in office.
I don't doubt for a second that she did, but what I had in mind was that she posted a video on how "we must impeach Biden now!!!!" like eleven seconds after he became President.
@RatatRatR I feel like there's always room for speculation, like she said the words about not wanting president to fail when talking about her voting choice. Maybe her definition of "not failing" is "not make irreversible mistakes", rather than "get things their way". But then this is an internet argument and neither of us can change another's opinion, so let's just give up.
@Duncan Vincent riiight thats why someone liked it 🤔. People just randomly like posts they cant read, yeaaahhh... No chief. Anyways MALD and COPE and SEETHE as well.
@Niko Virta i mean, yeah, ray bradbury's great and all, but why do you randomly bring up that book. It's annoying, exactly like people bringing up 1984, animal farm or brave new world out of nowhere
@RatatRatR Also how does her saying that mean she wants the president to fail? is she not allowed to hate a liberal president? Also the original point of the comment was about Jimmy Kimmel
@The FreedomToons Yeah, you're allowed to hate a liberal president. But then just own that. "I hate the liberal president because I hate liberals." There'd be a kind of righteousness in that, I suppose. But instead what you get is always a load of, "well, all of my opinions are really well informed and objective and based on my excellent awareness of all the relevant facts, and I just hate this particular president because I'm super smart and well informed and right about everything, and he's objectively terrible and I just happen to be smart enough to know that."
I guarantee you during the Rosanne bit, Jimmy changed the topic on Hillary's foreign policy because he didn't know what her foreign policy even was. Everything she said was completely right. If you don't like something, vote. We live in a democratic society where you can do that. That's not crazy.
@mr pringles actually its a really good piece. It really is a reflection of the left. The left are all Jimmy Kimmel

The thing about Jimmy Kimmel is that the fact that he tends to mock everyone for some sort of distinct feature, kind of like him joking about the man with the accent. When a person uses repulsive behaviors such as fear and loathing (in Kimmel's case, insults and snobbishness) to get to a certain goal, whenever it's making a statement about some sort of belief or call to action, the person as well as the action or belief is seen itself as repulsive. This also happened with Trump as well, which served as the fuel used against him. This is also why some sites on social media have begun to go against mainstream media.
@Manuel Morales Suffice to say im fine with donald trump representing both america and conservatives. But are you seriously ok with joe biden and kamala harris kkk dream team repping your side? I really fucking hope not man jesus.
@Fan enthusiast no 'left' personality would be allowed on national tv you're thinking 'liberal'. if you don't know the difference you should really look it up before you try talking about politics again.
@eric vulgate fair enough but he was still a better alternative but also yes i agree we need reformation of the two party system and a better way to have the best interest of the common peoples rights and prosperity represented and practiced.
@Stephano Clark but how people wanna be the right side of history and they only way to do it is to cut off out of the extreme which is kinda hard because they will both say you’re wasting your vote
@Jakob Cohen As if celebrities and talk show host don't use their platform to spew out their political beliefs. Your job is to ENTERTAIN, not LECTURE. I'm starting to question if you even watched the video, became that's exactly what Emplemon was talking about.
@Hideo Freaking Kojima You do realize that every piece of entertainment has had some sort of political undertone in one way or another, right? Usually in a way that didn't alienate a bunch of people, unlike Kimmel? For someone with "Hideo Kojima" in their name, you sure do seem to forget that Kojima himself also does the same exact thing with his own entertainment.
I, as a leftist, refuse to let someone like Kimmel speak for me and my beliefs. He sounds more obsessed with Trump than those evangelicals who claimed that God had told them that Trump would have a second term!
@deletedkneecaps Thats not an argument. You haven't said anything of value, next time you post try a little harder dude. I assume you have a brain but you know what they say about assumptions.
@Jakob Cohen "A lot of people think politics can be a turn-off for gamers. But I've done some research and discovered that politics is objectively fun and all gamers love it all the time, and the people who say they hate seeingthem in games love politics even more, they just wish they were seeing different politics." -hbomberguy
Wow, that interview with Rosan near the end was just sad. She bluntly told him his problems, and then put out a very level headed and dare I say objectively factual opinion that we the people need to control our government. Not to mention the way he dodged her question if he liked Hillarys foreign policy was, for lack of a better word, cringe
I occasionally watch Meyers or Ruffin, otherwise I burnt out on those shows years ago.
Never cared for Kimmel on SNL, never seen his late night show beyond a handful of clips. How many hours of the same sorts of jokes does one need?
None of 'em beat Cody Johnston, the format is also more in depth and focused (somewhat similar to John Oliver's show in general concept but very different in terms of tone).
On the other hand, unlike some other blocs they at least are willing to acknowledge that experts in a field can and do exist and that their opinions should be given more weight than the opinions of random bloggers, podcasters and reality TV stars.
The same susceptibility to propaganda absolutely exists but that doesn't make the sources of information and influence equal. There's a lot of people who both like to insist that facts don't care about anyone's feelings only to later insist that facts that upset their feelings should be ignored, not included in textbooks and generally left unacknowledged.
For all of the problems with progressives/liberals, they might be mostly useless but at least they're not reactionaries aka the cancer that's killing America.
@SkaldLouisCyphre I think that the most effective propaganda is that which is not recognized as propaganda. Our currency here in America has been more or less controlled by shadowy interests for at least 100 years and probably long before. I see your Shapiro reference and totally agree, I hit a wall as a libertarian awhile back when it dawned on me that oligopolies loom over our economy and institutions, providing an illusion of competition and free thought as cover. The Greek philosophers hated democracy for this reason, as the masses were (and are) easily manipulated.
While I disagree with the idea that race relations aren’t still a problem in the U.S.A, this video is amazingly put together. It’s become a routine for me to watch this video every two months because it’s just that great. The irony of elitists complaining about problems created mostly by elitists is unbelievable. It’s good that this video has millions of views.
Give it time. A lot of modern race issues are just growing pains of society. Nothing we do can change whether or not it'll happen; and no matter how many PSA's go out the pace is completely determined by just how frequent different sides just talk respectfully to eachother.
Some of my most enlightening moments have been talking to people who greatly oppose what I believe in, and people have told me that I help them see new perspectives in return.
The hard part's over; now the wound just has to heal.

@George Cowsert Yeah, alot of these issues just come from a deep seeded distrust that said group can't act as functioning members of society and only serve as leeches. The Irish were hated when they fled from America during and after the famine, but they became accepted and ingrained in culture of some regions because despite the resentment they kept working to become accepted, and ultimately were.
@Mki Sask the Glump Sod That is just wrong. They actually were thought of as physically inferior. It's just that that has faded over time and no one remembers that was how it used to be.
@Eliot Fleck Indentured servitude IS NOT slavery. Indentured servitude was bad, but slavery was far worse. In fact, the Irish slave thing is actually a myth adopted by white supremacists nowadays. There is a Wikipedia page about the myth too.
@Roof Koreans Hispanics and Asians were massively discriminated back in the day. Not all Asians are rich. This is a Model Minority myth. Some groups are richer than average while some groups are really poor.
@Yash Joseph >Hispanics and Asians were massively discriminated back in the day. We're talking about today buddy. Try to keep up >not all asians are rich When did I say ALL asians are rich? Keep on building more strawman, you doing great there. And how does that invalidate my point?
I want you to really think about race relations in this country, go on twitter and think about what morgan freeman said. Go anywhere and think about what morgan freeman said. I guarantee you it is that simple.
Uh genius, try 18 million actual subscribers, never mind fans. This channel, for instance, doesn't even begin to come close. This is a fact. Deal with it.
@RM M Damn bro you got me, that was totally not a joke at all. The existence of Jimmy Kimmel fans has utterly destroyed my worldview. My completely serious and not at all hyperbolic assertion has been blown out of the water. I bow to your superior intellect.
@The Warden of Oz Kinda missed the memo where two month old comments cannot be responded to, as your eyeballs can well see, not to mention that YOU are still responding. Stay well.
It amazes me how a person who used to host a show called "The Man Show" that acted like being a man meant being sexist and horny all the time was commendable can try to say "sexual harassment is and always has been bad, and we shouldn't allow it." And then he has a segment where he convinces a woman to look like she's giving a slob job
As someone who's not American, the thing I remember Jimmy Kimmel for is when he insulted my country's culture for an unfunny joke. And yes, it was about Trump.
@Billy Perry I was thinking more the one where Jimmy literally just stalks random women on the street, clinging to them, literally begging for THEM to have sex with HIM, as he whines like a bad stereotype of a nerd. It's the most uncomfortable thing I've ever seen. He literally doesn't let go of one of them until they start running. But... I mean that one works too, yikes.
Amazingly put together video that I can't help but revisit every now and then, but I happen to disagree with two major points:
The rape point was quite jarring to watch as it felt more feeling inclined then actually researched; I agree with Hollywood being a disgusting cesspool of like mindedness for rape culture, but a big consideration is the fact that sexual harassment is still a huge issue outside of Hollywood. You acknowledge that there is a long way to go, but promptly disregard it again when you say, "The men who do [sexually assault/rape], get promptly punished and ostracized for it," demeaning your point in not wanting to "oversimplify the situation to oblivion." Majority of cases are not followed through; rape is a nightmare to deal with in court because of how hard it is to prove (most of it being 'he said, she said' play), so many cases are not accurately punished, and thus sentences are lighter then the 25-30 years (depending on whether a child was involved). As well as that, saying that you and most others wouldn't ever do such a thing feeds into the 'oversimplification' (namely the prevalence of rape culture in teenage and young adult male populations is a massive worry).
Another point is towards the end: I hold the belief that race is still a major issue that plays into what is happening around us. I guess I can say this due to it being 2022 with current events like BLM, but regardless, race links with social-economical issues. Issues of these sort are always interlinked, and although easier said then done (since that's what internet sjw do), we should focus on adressing both of them so that they are acknowledged.
Apart from those two points, fantastic video! Definitely sparks discussion and the details regarding Trump were spot on!
Completely agree. He makes many well thought out and articulate points, that I mostly agree with or at least understand his perspective, but its a bit silly to say Kimmel is oversimplifying issues of gun violence, when he does the same with issues of race and sexual assault.
Compare jimmy Kimmels ratings to all the others, and look at his YouTube subscriber count. I’m not a fan personally but he’s one of the more popular talk show hosts and isn’t going to be assassinated by anyone 1/50th the size of him.
@Vito DeFino His character, for those who enjoyed to video, has been metaphorically assassinated. You came to nit pick, now I'm spelling it out for you, are you happy with your nit picking, children?
AustinPowerz0069 so for fans of this particular channel who liked the vid, overall not making a single dent in his fan base. Calling it a well calculated assassination when you really mean the swaying factor specifically for people who enjoyed this video is a huge stretch.
Austin’s out here with the personality of an 11 year old and the temper of a 90 year old. He’s right you know, you could use a chill pill. but whatever keep dishing out your salt it doesn’t effect anybody besides you anyway.
1. I believe "well calculated assassination" means: Although it did not impact his fans (if you believe they exist), it showed viewers of Emp Lemon who were not fans (maybe some fans, that is if they exist) that Jimmy Kimmel (the persona) is a scumbag. Personally, in my opinion, a mask is something you wear and if a mask is not comfortable, you probably are not wearing it (as shown with Karens). I believe (not confirmed just my opinion) that although Jimmy's mask is not him, a small portion of him (maybe big) is truly reflected in his mask. He used his political viewpoints on his show. So, idk him irl much as a persona i hate him but a persona, at the end of the day, is a reflection of you (maybe not a perfect one, but its definitely a murky one).
As a foreigner I’ve always found it really bizarre how obsessed America is with race relations despite them being, maybe not the most free by objective metrics, but definitely the most successful multicultural nation state. Class divisions seem much more relevant today, but hey it’s not my country.
What is your country of origin (I am genuinely intersted)? Was your country based on slavery and racism? There are countless examples of white oppression and privilege that any sane person would collapse under its weight. And it started with the arrival of white men on the North American continent.
It's actually the opposite. It is the fact that we are a multicultural nation that causes people to be obsessed over race relations, rightly or wrongly. If 99.9% of people in the US were white then we wouldn't be worrying about it at all.
As for why we still care about it nowadays, well you could ask a thousand people and get a thousand different answers.
IMO, I think it has to do with deep seated ideological and identity based reasons. So a person of a particular skin color grows up and learns "This is 'my' people's history in th US so that's how things are." when that might not actually be true and is just a holdover from over 50 years ago or longer.
@diane ridley Counterpoint: I'm a white male and I grew up in WEST OAKLAND CA. People shot each other down the block a few times a month, gang violence was everywhere and I couldn't go a week without some druggie breaking into the rat infested basement. Race has absolutely nothing to do with privilege and I'm fortunate enough to live in a much better town because the government subsidized my single mother's rent. While what people did to Africans and the Native American people was an atrocity, that is in the past. Basically privilege is BS.
@diane ridley Its just untrue that USA was based on slavery and racism. Remember the south lost the civil war. And it was because the slave holding south was a regressive parasitic tumor that was a roundabout economy that relied on slaves. The North was more industrial, higher population and a higher economic value. Oppression and privilege is literally unavoidable when there is a majority and minority country. There is a reason why the balkans are the balkans. Also if you conflate the presence of slavery to the country being founded on it, then you could say that about most muslim, african and asian societies.
@diane ridley Most of the blame can be directed at the rich people of the time. Most people did not own slaves; most people could even be argued to have been borderline slaves to the rich. Blacks at the time to them, were probably just another easily exploitable group of people. If white slavery were legal at the time, there would've been many instances of it. Hell, there probably were some instances of it in America!
To me, its usually a matter of class that causes division and I think it is often - at least partially - the root of it.
And if it’s “not your country” then why complain about what happens to it then? Almost as if you live in the same country yet pretend not to, to try and pretend there could be anything better than living in a country as free as ours. If you really wanna hammer down how “unfree” our country is, go to Iraq or NK, I’m sure they’ll show you the very definition and costs of “freedom” 😂
Religion & politics often make some people lose all perspective and give way to ranting and raving and carrying on like emotional children. They either refuse to discuss it with reason, or else they prefer argumentum ad hominum, which is a hell of a way to conduct a discussion. Well, anyhow, not long ago, I was talking about the elections, and how the campaigns were ignoring the issues, and sticking instead to invective and personal crap that had nothing to do with the substantive problems of running a government, which is all true, as you know if you followed the speeches and so-called debates of the candidates. Anyhow, one of the guys I was talking with said not a word in the whole conversation except at the end when he suddenly chuckled and said we were all full of shit, and why didn't we go live in Russia or China if that was the way we all hated the United States Of America. Next thing you know the whole blooming discussion was more like a brawl, And the epithets flew thick and fast, and the noise was incredible. Someone said "son of a bitch", and I think he said "bastard". I couldn't be sure, it was all so confusing. Well, anyhow, I was attempting to get it all back on a rational level. I tried, for example, to talk to the one who had started it all, and I asked him just what did he mean we were all full of shit. Was he making a statement of fact as he knew it, and where was his documentation to back up his claim? I think Socrates would've been proud of the way I refuted his argument. That is, I tried to refute it, but all he could offer by way of rebuttal was more of the same about how we were all full of shit. But he wouldn't say why, he just kept on repeating it, that and the part about Russia and China and communist dupes, and I'll have to confess that I got a bit angry and told him to stuff his ideas up his ass, which you don't have to tell me is hardly a way to convince anyone in an argument. Then he got salty and threatened to give me a punch in the mouth if I didn't shut up, and I really got hot, and the others did too, and we all beat the shit out of mister conservative. And, after all, he had only himself to be blamed. This is still a free country, And anyone telling a fellow like me, "Brother, you're full of shit", better be good and ready to answer politely when asked if he'd care to say why
@Certified Intellectual: James Taboo Ah yes, because the fact that other countries have it worse automatically means that America is exempt from any and all criticism.
@diane ridley I mean I’m brazilian and I can tell that Brazil had a much higher slave population than the US
The estimated number of slaves that were traded during the transatlantic slave trade is between 10-12 million Of those ~11 million slaves that were traded roughly 0.4 million went to north america. Quite a bit huh? Yeah, maybe, but 4.9 million slaves came to Brazil If any country was “Based on slavery and racism” it is Brazil and not the US
Something else is the problem. In Brazil slaves, europeans, asians and indians interbred, we have a highly mixed population but that was not what happened in the US leaving division and conflict to grow from this segregation
@diane ridley The United States wasn't based on Slavery or Racism. I don't get where you're coming from but I think you need to go back and do some digging on the revolution again. However, I'm Native American and White and I live paycheck to paycheck. I don't look Native American as I have fair skin. So I don't know where this "white privilege" is coming from. White privilege is more rampant with the Rich and Higher Ups of America than normal working class citizens. Just a thought.
yeah, almost as if new stories about racism had a huge uptick around the time of occupy wallstreet, almost as if large companies needed something to take focus away from them, but thats just crazy talk.
@diane ridley lol watched this video for the first time yesterday, don't know what you're talking about. Love the quick response though. Care to show the same courtesy to the dozen or so people you haven't replied to yet? I hate to cut in line.
@diane ridley Except you just did lol. Not with any contribution to the discussion, but I doubt you've ever improved a situation you came across. You're an example of why the 19th amendment is a mistake.
ikr, It's weird how race relations get worse at a time when Americans' tolerance and acceptance is bordering on extreme from my perspective. seems like they are making the choice to identify increasingly with their 'tribe', whatever that may be, instead of unifying under the general banner of being an American. And their media and politicians are making great use of this.
@Estifanos Wendimu Yeah, and changes the definition of racism to his own liking. As a matter of fact, 70 Million people in the US ARE racist but fail to aknowledge and change anything about it. Case and point: This video. "Hey guys, racism is over because Obama" Saying you've never talked to a black person without saying you never talked to a black person.
@Großer Hahn then again, hasnt it been like what, 3ish generations ago that slavery still existed in the US (1945ish). aint it bound to happen that racism will still exist in the US?
@corvid dragon I mean that's no justification, is it? It's an explanation as to why it is how it is, but it doesn't really change anything about the current situation or the urgency to change things for the better.
Race relations will never get better because anytime an oppressed group tries to explain that racism is still around there told that it’s not true and that racism doesn’t exist. The fact we have to prove that it’s happening makes it where we can never actually get to the point of changing it.
@Cheetos Leopard That is a misinterpretation. People like to take the position that some if not most systems are discriminatory against certain groups is false as the 'racism doesn't exist' argument. That's a straw man.
Everyone knows racism exists but disagreement to the degree of it doesn't mean they're the direct/indirect cause of racism and it wont help anyone defining groups as oppressed then relegating any opposition to that position as bigoted/ignorant/racist... That is polarizing as well as demoralizing (to the supposedly oppressed group). Just more fuel to the fire.
@Estifanos Wendimu If your part of the group that benefits from oppressing other groups and you don’t do anything to help the oppressed or try to say the oppression doesn’t exist. Yeah your a huge part of the problem and should be considered bigoted and ignorant.
@Cheetos Leopard Aaaand you completely missed my point. It's all good and well being an advocate for civil rights, but you better make sure those who you advocate for are in need of help especially the type of help that is to be provided (whatever that may be).
But at least, don't sow more division by saying anyone who doesn't imbibe your worldview is an asshole, just say they're wrong.
@Adog312 It's simple, people choose to listen to the mainstream media, social media and it's 'trusted sources'. There isn't a shortage of independent sources but they continue to give these corporations millions...
@UmbreonMessiah There is definitely something to be said for that, but race divisions are included under class divisions already, they don't need to replace it.
If we still was granted the privilege of seeing an actual dislike counter, we couple compared like to dislikes on this video. Sadly we were deemed too stupid to handle that responsibility by the ministry of information.
This is what actual commentary should be like. You don't defend the senseless bashing and hostility towards certain topics even though you don't agree with them.
@Ronnie Manuel Miranda Ortiz I see your point, but at some point, you have to refer to a group of people as something. Liberals who watch this video and are not crazed anarchists like the others won't get offended by it, because they're not crazy. Honestly, with the treatment the average Republican has gotten recently by those same people, the left could do with some humbling (AS A LEFTIST!). I dont understand the last of your point but I think at some point its okay to use the word liberals to describe those crazy people as long as you qualify it like emp did.
The closest I came to finding someone who liked Jimmy Kimmel was a friend of mine that insisted Jimmy Kimmel wasn't that bad who, as it turns out, was only doing so because she had confused him with Jimmy Fallon.
Fallon seems like a nervous random dude who has no idea what the hell he’s supposed to be doing but I still find that less annoying than Kimmel’s non-stop smugness.
@I don’t know anymore There are a few, Conan O'brien, Seth Meyers, Graham Norton off the top of my head, but a ton of the mainstream ones seem to be unfunny hacks
I honestly don’t like Jimmy Fallon either but I do admire that he doesn’t get into politics as much and he has his moments and when he does it’s damn funny.
Jimmy Fallon is a pretty respectable guy,and his content is not horrible.it's pretty good,by late night show standards.and I really appreciate his decision to not talk about politics in his show.however, Jimmy Kimmel,well..........
I can't stand him.and for the exact reasons emp brings up.
@The Brociopath I could agree with that. But hey, At least Fallon doesn't get involved in politics because that would've been worse to have two Jimmies to be heavily involved in politics. It's not for me and everyone else who's interested in for that, just for those who like to start an argument but that's just me.
Speaking of Fallon: I simply cannot stand the way he screams and yells his way through his show, and his horrible habit of one-upping or interrupting his guests to say something about himself... He really should have watched Carson to figure out how you really do it
I couldn’t agree more. You’ve done a good job putting into words a feeling/thought process that is not easily defined.. When you mentioned the “odd looming feeling of disgust” that comes pretty close to hitting the mark. Disgust. Yes. I would like to throw out another topic that makes me feel the same way as Kimmel, and for me, its FAR worse.. The “Watch Mojo” type youtube channels. The youtube channels that are turning this once awesome platform into the gift-shop counter at Disney world. And its not just watchmojo, but all of the “celebrity watch” trash and the whole “Mr. Beast” phenomenon that is adding to the mental decline of the youth throughout the entire generation… Absolute DISGUST..
We just launched the James Webb Space Telescope. Probably The most important scientific moment / achievement of this generation, and NO-ONE GIVES A F.. Most ppl i speak to have no clue what im even talking about.. Its a f’n tragedy. Wow did i get off-topic snd preachy.. Anyway.. Please do a video on the above.. Thx!
I agree with you in every statement. Personally, I think Mr. Beast is a pretty entertaining ytber and he seems like a good guy. He stated he wants to die broke. He is also giving money to other people. He just seems like a genuine, fun, nice guy. Other than that i completely agree with you.
@I still cant think of a name i think his issue isnt mrbeast, its all the mr beast copycats who dont do anything original or helpful and are just trying to gain clout
Y’know I totally agree However I just think he’s simply emblematic of a larger trend or zeitgeist of unfunny overly sanitized popular culture It’s nebulous and hard to explain You feel it when people act like James cordon is funny and a good actor You feel it when you watch Stephen Colbert You feel it when you see memes and posts from major brands on social media You feel it when you watch the infographics show or watch mojo and listen to their soulless voices rabble on about partially inaccurate sensationalized things It’s the culture of the self congratulation of the Oscars Of mindless celebrity worship on talk shows Of political debates on CNN Of that moment when news channels talk about memes and trends Of the mr beast, current matpat, and dhar Mann It’s so ineffably and fundamentally lame and trivial. It’s the auto fellatio of Hollywood The filmy scum on the top of popular culture It’s everything that’s popular because it’s popular and meant to be funny or heartwarming or interesting but just isn’t because it’s so fake and manufactured and their sincerity is all fake and their self awareness is all fake and only skims the surface of the surface of their bottomless shallowness and irrelevancy It’s that particular qualia that reaffirms my faith in humanity when I see people who see through it all and tear it down with their righteous cynicism
Honestly, I wouldn't care if Jimmy Kimmel did these stereotypes and stupid stuff in his past, but the fact that he's such a hypocrite about those same things just drives me insane.
I love your channel and respect the shit out of you, and this was a great video. But I gotta point out one thing you messed up, that men who rape people aren't usually convinced. Rape is very hard to prove, and most of the time it's witnesses. Or a he said she said thing, and a large majority of women don't even say anything, I know from experience and all the women I've gotten close with all have their own story, and I ask why not do anything, and it's because of how flawed rape trials are and how much needs to be fixed. It's sad and upsetting and this is a issue that has affecting me a lot personally, I wish you were right that they get justice but that is largely untrue.
Not to mention that he brings up sexual assault statistics as a response to a statement about sexual harassment. I scrolled down to see if there were any comments addressing this, and your comment was the closest I'd found. Responding to a statement about women facing sexual harassment everywhere by saying "I don't rape women" is a pretty bad look IMO.
Thank you. EmpLemon is on point over just about everything he focuses on, but that part felt really jarring and poorly thought out. "I've never done _______" is not an argument that it doesn't happen lol.
@Robert Corso Which is why YOU need to do better and not harass women. Do you see the point he was trying to make now? Re-read my first sentence and answer it as I were someone saying this to you specifically.
His rant about obesity, veganism, factory farming, public School systems, and wars summed up in only about a few seconds all of my problems with American politics, and politicians
Lil Wayne's mean tweet almost killed me, "Lil Wayne is what happens when you pour four loco on a Gremlin" - only thing ever associated with that show that really made me laugh. I hate Jimmy Kimmel, especially his grandstanding and politics/political commentary. You couldn't have been more accurate about basically everything, imo.
This is my favorite video on YouTube. No hyperbole. I wish I had the philosophical chops to formulate and wield such potent and poignant points of contention that plague our current socioeconomic landscape; and bring about change. In extraordinary typical fashion, well done sir. If political aspirations were to ever materialize in your future Mr. EmpLem, you’d have my vote ☝🏻✨💯🗳
I remember watching him as a teenager, and my memory of him is skewed because I fondly remember a couple of the segments he'd do, Lie Detective and Unnecessary Censorship, but I've barely seen anything of him on TV in recent years, and I know he seems to be a little too online, so I guess there's that
@GloriousHotWingsJr Playing hockey and watching Hockey are 2 completely different experiences. If I watch hockey I can barely stay awake. When I play it. It feels like an out of body experience and I'm pushed to my limits. When i watch other people play video games it's either cause I'm interested in buying the game or I wanna see my favorite streamer/youtubers reaction to a game. If you had read your comment out loud you would see how foolish this entire comparison is.
@Cryo Judgement you literally said nothing to make me sound like an idiot. I know I that playing sports is more entertaining than watching it, I never said otherwise. But playing video games is often boring and watching someone play video games is just depressing. You literally said that watching someone else play video games is unentertaining and then said I was foolish for saying that. You admitted that you only watch people play a game for you to see if you like it or if it is a streamer you like. For sports it is the same if there are players or a team that you like watching or that they are just talented players and that’s why you enjoy watching them.
@GloriousHotWingsJr with that logic if I watch sports I must be morbidly obese or a paraplegic. If I play sports I must be an athlete or superstar. For each person their experience with watching videogames/sports and playing videogames/sports is different. If a person who doesent shower and only knows people through videogames watches others play videogames for social experiences than that is sad, if I watch a youtuber/streamer to see them play a game for their take or to see the game itself that's passive and societally accepted. Watching someone play sports while obese and not being physically active whether because of a disablliltiy or you not being fit is sad. Watching someone else play sports while physically healthy and as entertainment is competetive and societally accepted. Each person's experience is different. You cant just categorize an act as objectively sad/boring/stupid because to that person it might be joyous/fun/inspiring. I could look at someone core apple's in a field all day and call it boring and stupid but to that farmer who uses those apples to feed a community it's important and fun. Not everything is governed by your view of what is right and wrong, fun and boring, stupid and enjoyable. Each humans experience is different when experiencing something. Its part of the human condition.
@Cryo Judgement Again you fail to understand me, I said I it is depressing I didn’t say that if you watch people play games you are depressed. Those two things are different. And I guess all that nonsense you just wrote could be summarized as agree to disagree? I am not sure it is very difficult to understand you. But I still know that watching sports is very different to watching someone else play video games. I personally like playing sports more than watching it and I enjoy playing video games much more than watching someone else play it.
@GloriousHotWingsJr goes were talking about 2 different things because I fail to see how that doesent answer your comment but to summarize. Each person has a different way of experiencing things. You and I have drastic views on this subject so neither of our views on these actions matter because each person sees their actions a completely different way than another person does. I find watching people play games fun, you dont. I find watching sports a waste of time, you dont. I get your point about people watching sports for more talented people and the competetive nature of it but you speak in absolutes and word it such that your opinion is objective fact. And the adjective "depressing" means that it makes you depressed, or it makes an impression upon a solid Surface. I'm assuming you meant the first.
@GloriousHotWingsJr misworded my point in the third comment, neither of our perspectives are correct. When using "matter" that means we agree to disagree, but I'm not saying that.
@Cryo Judgement well you are not advancing the argument in any way. Also by the way if you enjoy watching video games where there is like zero differences than ones own play through unlike a sports season.
@GloriousHotWingsJr everyone plays them differently Bioshock is a game that was crafted in such a way that it is literally impossible for 2 separate playthroughs to ever follow the same path. Literally every part of the game is built to be a variable
@Cryo Judgement "why would you want to watch Michel Jordan play basketball, you can make every 1/10 3 pointers" "why would you want to watch a pro gamer speed run a game? You can slowly work your way through it" these are literally the same arguement for 2 different mediums. Saying "watching someone play video games is depressing" is the same as saying "watching someone play sports is depressing" both are ok to enjoy.
This is why I love John Oliver. He does political content and is clearly leftist, but he actually researches and backs up his points. Instead of just 'Trump bad' he details where hes gone wrong and why hes bad (and many other things). Its where I get most of my global news from
My only problem with John Oliver is that he rarely offers solutions to the problems he points out, and he is very selectively biased when choosing what problems to address.
He backs up what he says, but it's still entertainment. It's written in a way to make you feel engaged, but he panders to a particular audience so much sometimes. He tells people who already agree what they want to hear, and alienates the other side that could benefit from hearing opposing view points. You don't change minds by making fun.
This was an excellently thought-out and edited masterpiece. I had never seen all these ideas I personally felt so well put together. This video is a good slap-in-the-face for our culture. It inspires me to volunteer in my community to actually make a positive difference for society, instead of being a weirdo who uses social media to espouse biases and soak in them.
Desmond is such a good guy. Humble enough to be relatable yet still cool enough to provide an inspirational public figure for the masses. He should have his own talk show.
Try watching Trevor Noah. I've never been able to make it past 5 minutes. It's so aggressively unfunny that my brain hurts trying to understand how he still has the job.
@diane ridley But does he have a stimulating south african accent? Like, if im going to be reminded of the dystopian scifi madhouse we’re all in at least try to sound like the narrator! With Seth Meyers im just in a really shitty adam sandler movie. “Hey, butthead. H-h-hee-he-heh-hee. Trumpsux! Heheeeheehe*fidget*” - Seth Meyers
“Darkness has befallen our western democratic experiment because my friends cuz…Duhnold Tromp!” - Trevor Noah
To be fair he inherited a inherently political show, his content can’t NOT be political, so it’s not quiet the same. But he’s also just horribly unfunny
I only watched the Daily Show with Trevor Noah because of the fact that seeing American News in a "Comedy" show is a really funny idea especially when you aren't American
@shuykran 100% But that's what happens when you sell your soul (figuratively) for fame in this world. You don't go with what's right but what's popular.
My last comment may have been a little more acidic than I'd intended. I'm leaving it up anyway, it's how I felt in the moment. I'm sure you mean well, but surely there has to be a better way to do activism than posting comments about rape on random unrelated YouTube videos.
@awkwardcultism lol thanks for the clarification, i don’t mind the heat. i don’t feel like going through and finding out exactly what he said that gave me reason to comment but it was something that made it seem like victims not speaking up about rape isn’t an ongoing problem
Not gonna lie, at first the talk about angry liberals made me cringe especially since I consider myself pretty far left, but damn you opened my eyes as to how fucking annoying the SJW and emotional manipulators are. Thank you for this.
Uh no, she said to vote for the side she thinks is good, not to vote in general. Apparently conservatives hate Hollywood celebrities but have no problem with those that preach their agenda
@BullBoy Adventures Reading it back I went off hard lol. But I guess the frustration of the last like 6 years of extreme political BS from both sides has caused my patience for democrat or republican brain to boil over.
@Unnecessary Apostrophe As a Libertarian myself, Libertarians can be on any side, for example, I'm fairly right wing, but pretty moderate. Being a Libertarian only means you believe in a smaller government, but you can be on either side of political spectrum.
@Bobby Van Stone Roseanne saying something reasonable at one point and then Jimmy calling her crazy are two unrelated things. I’m sure Roseanne says lots of reasonable things, no one is calling her crazy for those statements… they call her crazy for all the crazy statements she makes.
@SaintCharlez Productions™ Kimmel is significantly less funny that Donald Turnip the failed former gameshow host. All Jimmy does is just read the stupid things Donald does and says and it’s comedy
@Unnecessary Apostrophe That is just not true. Liberalism and Libertarianism are two completely different ideologies (in todays world). Libertarians are for more privatization, and personal liberties. Liberals are for more government support and state healthcare. These are completely conflicting ideas.
@Lord Rat Hut thinking about libertarianism/authoritarianism in terms of a ‘left’ and ‘right’ just ain’t it. For all the huge problems with the political compass, at least they acknowledged that much.
@Lord Rat Hut You guys really need to do your homework. Libertarians are SOUTH on the political compass. They prefer freedom over authoritarianism and individualism over collectivism. The extreme version of libertarians would be considered anarchists, in opposition to totalitarianism. Libertarians can either be left, right or centrist.
Way back when Kimmel first got his show I was becoming an adult and watching late night TV was new to me ( strict parents growing up). I got into Kimmel but shortly became turned off by him for many of the reasons you listed. Sucking up to celebs, stale humor, and overbearing negativity. All these years later your video is blowing my mind with the similar observations.
Such a brilliant, honest, and well-rounded video. Thank you for your common sense views on politics— more American need to think like you: RATIONALLY. ✌️🤍🇺🇸
"I refuse to believe there are any diehard Jimmy Kimmel fans" well there are people whose entire personality boils down to "The Office is my favorite show," so it's really not entirely unbelievable.
Can we talk about how Kimmel gets to host the Oscars despite performing Black Face and a sexual assault segment for comedy, yet Kevin Hart gets booted for a homophobic tweet from about 10 years ago. Sounds like some racism might actually be involved as well when you think about it.

as they say "rules for thee, not for me" Edit:Heres another line "It's okay to be different, so long as your different in the same way we are"
@David Eze Dude, what are you talking about. Nothing in my comment is misinformed. Racism is a belief, it's a belief that your race is superior than others. A joke cannot be racist, because a joke cannot have an opinion. A joke cannot have a belief. A joke is inanimate.
"no one probably listens to you in real life" you criticize me for jumping the gun, and then you make extremely wild speculation.
You can criticize my IQ all you want, I really don't care about your opinion.
@David Eze Woah dude, just checked out a video on your channel. You are a Christian? Hmmmmm. I don't think god would want you being so rude to me??? AND YOU TALK ABOUT PHILOSOPHY!!!!! holy shit, I must be talking to a well educated man. My IQ IS NO MATCH FOR THE NIGERIAN SOCIAL CLIMATE GURU GAMER PHILSOPHER.
@LEE Oh, there's so much more than that. he's a left leaning trump, if everything you had heard about trump was true. and he not only got away with all of it, over 30% of Canadians decided to put him back into power, despite multiple actions which should have destroyed his support base.
@LEE Canadians have totally different standards, clearly. I honestly think they're living in the past with the shear amount of claiming they're diverse and so forth while being 90% white. It's like a weird parody of the 40s. 'We're perfect over here, nothing to see, nothing to see at all! sorree to bother you!'
sexual or racial humor in online social media gets silenced or treated as a crime all too often. These social media platforms are anti-humor, anti-first amendment and overly PC. They try to decide what is and isn't ok to joke about, which in turn makes everyone more on edge and afraid to tell jokes and have a sense of humor. Can we not laugh about anything anymore? Truly disgusting how the big tech social media platforms like twitter and even youtube claim to be about tolerance but behind the scenes are actually supporting the opposite.
@clerp Also to quote a comment that I read on a different video: "Often I hear that comedy should have no boundaries. When judging the ethics of comedy, it comes to two simple questions; "Who are we laughing With, and who are we laughing At?" If we are laughing With Predators and laughing At Victims, there is something deeply wrong with that comedy."
@kittykittybangbang i agree, but i dont see why ppl getting their panties in a bunch about sexual/racial humour means someone has to lose their job or formally apologize
@clerp I agree too, however you have to realize that actions speak louder than words, so you look more to person's actions than their words to see if they're really truly racist or homophobic or truly sorry.
@Corrosive Facts. They pander to China as well, where there is clear racism against black ppl and every other person that's not chinese plus persecution of religious people like uighurs
@Jarred2200 Well history disagrees with your friend.
How is blackface a joke? Please, tell me what's funny about it. Is it funny because they're pretending to be black? How is that funny? Please, explain to me where the humor is, because to me it kinda just sounds like "Black people, amirite?"
@clerp I believe that nothing is off limits, but context matters. It's as simple as that. There's a wrong time and place for literally everything and people need to learn to read a fucking room before making edgier jokes.
For example, making a joke about a dead loved one. A friend of mine makes jokes about her dad being dead all the time, so it's fair game. But doing it at his fucking funeral would be fucked up. It's all about context.
@Aria Jacobs it was bait brother. And the funny comes in when people get baited by the black face. If I was trying to offend someone, I would get way more enjoyment offending a white person that has no reason to be offended than I would a black person.
@Jarred2200 That's true. But if someone says they're not okay with a joke, there's your answer. In the case of black face, there is literally no context where that's okay because of it's history and what it represents, especially from a celebrity who is showing it to an entire country. Imagine if Bill Gates dressed up as Hitler and mocked Jews on live television. Not funny.
@Aria Jacobs that’s where you’re not listening to me. If bill gates dressed as hitler and made fun of Jews than its somewhat problematic (even though if you jump through some hoops you could probably make it tasteful.) If he made fun of hitler while dressed as hitler, no one has an issue. I’m saying if you do black face and make fun of white people it could possibly be funny and not so bad.
@Jarred2200 Agreed, but it's still a very sensitive thing that would be very difficult to do right, so difficult that it's probably better not to attempt it until people learn how to do it right.
Kimmel did not do it right. It wasn't funny, nor was it clever or well done. It was just racist.
@Aria Jacobs well we need people test the waters until one figures it out. Someone’s bound to do it. I mean maybe Robert Downey Jr is probably the only one that had some interesting commentary when it comes to black face. I wouldn’t be surprised if in the next 10 years black face is more commonly used in comedy. I mean the pendulum always swings back harder. Just look at politics as a reference.
@Jarred2200 We already know it's a sensitive topic and most people can understand how shittily Kimmel did it, so I don't think those were waters that needed to be tested. I imagine it could become commonplace, but I highly doubt it ever will, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
@Aria Jacobs Offense can be taken to anything though, because it, like humour, is subjective. So unless you wanna have even more comedy police, I think people just need to get thicker skin and quit being offended by everything.
@clerp That's not what this is. You think if someone says the n-word and just labels it as a joke people aren't allowed to be upset about it? There's a right and wrong way to do dark humor, and people get upset when you do it wrong. That's an inherent risk of dark humor. People aren't being sensitive, you're just being insensitive.
@Aria Jacobs At some point, we have to take into account people are able to control their emotions, so we don't end up always justifying someone being offended at a "ur mom" joke. That's how all this [overly PC can't joke about anything] shit got started.
@clerp What you're doing is trying to invalidate the feelings of others. Other people are allowed to feel offended by jokes, and instead of telling them to stop being offended you should take their feelings into account, try to understand why they feel the way they do, and attempt to resolve the issue. Maybe they're just not okay with that kind of joke, so don't tell it around them. Of course, it's different on the internet, so the most you can really to is apologize for any unintended offense caused and move on. You don't have to retract the joke, but at least understand that the people getting upset have the right to be, just like you have the right to tell the joke in the first place.
That's cancel culture for you. Only the rich and powerful are special and have the "right" to bully everyone else below them to make feel better about themselves. Insert JTHM quote here
@kittykittybangbang Acutally i'm an American subscriber, not just a DOnald Trump fan . I go by my nationality instead of my political affiliation, but thank you. and GBA (God Bless America).
@TheSP33DFREAK lol he deleted his comment. I agree that a joke cannot have a belief BUT jokes are forged by beliefs (your biases determine what jokes you decide to make)
@TheSP33DFREAK Black face isn't a joke, black face no matter the context is and will always be an expression of racism. The problem with America is that unlike South Africa where the racism is open and bare faced, America's racism is subtle, they do stuff like this for shits and giggles but in the end if you attempt to do something even similar to blackface then you're downplaying the seriousness of racism and you're being racist yourself for condoning or being apart of it.
Humour isn't always subjective or inanimate it can be an expression of people's true feelings, the KKK can call black men and women atrocious things and laugh about it but that doesn't make what they're saying and doing not objectively wrong.
Dark humour and the structure of jokes similar to that genre is meant to not make light of a serious topic but to transcend whatever pain, misery and suffering that was there and turn it on itself, showing the absurdity of the human condition and all the bullshit we've done to ourselves. Black face isn't dark humour, it can't be counted as such because its a physical act of expression, that expression is the open opinion that you think black people are joke, that they're animals, that they're not human, it's making fun of their features and mimicking then because you personally find it hilarious but objectively that is wrong, because you're doing it because you hate black people and you want to make fun of them. That's black facing, that's the definition of it so stfu.
TL;DR Black face isn't a joke, it's plain racism and you have no understanding about how jokes or the structure of humour works in the context of modern society you bozo.
I think finding myself agreeing politically with Roseanne Barr because the alternative is calling any attempt to fix our government instead of just complaining about it "crazy" summarizes the Jimmy Kimmel experience better than anything else I can think of.
I enjoyed the topic of this video, and I myself am not a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, I also enjoy most of your videos on your channel, but the point you made about race relations not existing is completely false. I don’t believe jokes can be considered racist either, but you used Obama winning the election of 2008 and 2012 as being a reason for racism no longer existing. Which is unfortunately an extremely common misconception that has dwelled for years, there are several instances of people of color being killed by police officers due to their skin color and stereotypes often associated with them. And also you claimed that racism is just an opinion, yet that is an extremely ignorant statement, racism can lead to violence and bitter hatred towards people, that can no longer be excused as just an opinion. When Obama had won the election people had assumed racism was a thing of the past and people tried to stop talking about it ( like Morgan Freeman had suggested) however this has still lead to several killings towards minorities. I think you made good points throughout this video, however that was one that wasn’t entirely backed correctly.
Also, this is just an assumption, but I can guess you are against cancel culture, which benefits from taking actions or statements made by people years ago, and try to wipe their career away for that, yet you are using Jimmy Kimmel’s blackface sketch from years ago as an example of why Jimmy himself may be racist currently.
He explicitly said that racism exists and is an issue, but just not nearly to the extent that people think it is. There is a fraction of the population that is racist, but it is a fraction that is very hard to come by. People are so devoid of meaning in today's world due to a terribly successful secularist movement that they have to create and project problems for them to solve just to give themselves a purpose and something to work towards in life. Also, you said in that paragraph that calling racism an opinion is ignorant because it can lead to violence. You have to have some short-circuiting up there to actually believe this. Religion is an opinion: religion causes bitter hatred and violence (al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Christian Crusades to name a few). Politics are opinions: politics cause bitter hatred and violence(literally every war, oh and don't forget Twitter). Whether or not you like a movie or not is an opinion, and guess what? That opinion can cause bitter hatred and violence too(I lost a friend by saying I hated Star Wars and thought it was a stupid franchise). Also, I forget the correct statistic, but it goes something like cops are more likely to kill unarmed white people than black people proportional to the amount of violent crimes they commit. Also, I can guarantee that I can rebut ANY "racist cop" story you can come up with besides OJ Simpson and Ahmaud Arbery.
@Joe yeah, but do you know who also lost the election but still have the popular vote? Bernie sanders. so it's fair game that Trump won even if he didn't have the popular vote
@Vinnis Vidya Y'know voter suppression is a thing right? People are prevented from voting because it can work. That's also why gerrymandering is such a huge thing and why the Electoral College is still around. Anything it takes to make votes worthless is done.
@Nathan Levesque the electoral college is very, very easy to understand. If it wasn't around, the only thing that would matter at election time would be gender neutral bathrooms in California. I take it u live in one of the big cities with millions of people?
@Gaige Grosskreutz's missing bicep 💪 None of what you just said indicates that I should take you seriously. If you can't understand the value of democracy then you aren't equipped to vote.
@Austin Kilgore Most states are already ignored completely. That's driven both by the electoral cycle and the distribution of votes in the electoral college. So it actually makes the problem of ignoring states worse.
Unfairness is giving some people votes that are worth 100 votes of other people just because of where they live. You don't get to complain about states having excessive power, when that is exactly what the EC causes. Whereas there is nothing excessive about proportional representation. Not being excessive is literally in the name.
States are not people. What's good for people is what matters. And how can something be good for a state and not people anyway?
If you're going to talk about "What’s best for" some states not being "what’s best for the rest", then you don't get to pretend that it doesn't apply to the current system. Which, while we're on the subject, does not work the way it was originally designed. Nor were the Founding Fathers superhuman geniuses that could see the future. They also allowed slavery for a reason.
@Austin Kilgore If the US ran completely on the popular vote, then you'd only need to win 6 or 7 Cities (not states, CITIES) to win any Federal-level office. And to hell with everyone else.
A person2021-08-27 11:08:14 (edited 2021-11-25 15:49:22 )
I think political comedy (In mainstream media) only really works when it's calling out everyone. If you aren't calling out everyone you're simply just showing your biases and making half of your audience feel unwelcome. Either that or don't make political jokes at all. (Of course by making fun of everyone I don't mean jokes about minorities, cause that would just be saying Hitler deserves to be criticised as much as those he killed for example)
This is the greatest video I have ever seen on YouTube EVER.
Thank god there’s someone who feels exactly the same as me. I never really liked him at all but omg ripping him on literally anything and everything is absolutely ridiculous. People will criticize him even when he did something good. I’ve always considered myself moderate but leaning towards democratic now I’m moderate leaning towards republican but not because I like republicans more than I used to but because I hate democrats way more than I used to

your narrative cadence and presentation in later videos is so much better. it's inspiring edit: yea like holy shit. gotta watch more old emp for comparison
no no, please dont. Enough terms have been extracted wayy farther from their actual definition because internet spread ideas way too quickly, and now people have been using them incorrectly to describe what they think it means rather than what it actually means.
I agree, I once made the mistake of watching a clip of his and it was quite revolting. I might revisit the show because I'm contrarian and like to challenge what I hate. 1:55 my initial reaction to Kimmel was that it was the worst thing I'd ever seen. I gotta stop being a reactionary though. I tolerate Jimmy Fallon and have even considered that I enjoy watching his show: but it's a sort of shallow and measured enjoyment. The Jimmy Fallon is the kind of guy you couldn't not be friends with, the only thing is that this isn't a playground anymore and the amount of time I can allot to the ego of other males needs to be curtailed. Anyways I'm going to watch your analysis because even though you sometimes lead me places I definitely find disagreeable, you put a lot of effort into your videos and I enjoy many of the references you include. You've got the same appeal as Angry Video Game Nerd, but way more abstract.
Woman : I didn’t like Hillary’s foreign policy Jimmy : but orange man bad
Woman : let’s try and accept the result of the election and all work together to create a better America, nobody wins if the president fails so let’s hope he makes the best decisions and if you don’t like it wait 2 more years Jimmy : you’re crazy
That clip really spoke for itself, as for her being fired it really isn't about her tweet. It's what happens when group think and mob rule become the default position for your political adversaries. The reasons are many, the result is enough to destroy the most civil civilization the world has ever known, mind you that bar arguably not too high.
I liked better "I didn't change I'm the same, YOU moved so far fucking left" that is so real, liberals in the 70s wanted equal rights for gay, blacks and woman. Now that they actually got them they want to join Antifa and wreck public places for no reason!
@manic hispanic Her dressing up as Hitler and eating Jew cookies sounds funny and even more so since she's apparently Jewish herself. What was that bit called cause I gotta see it to believe it.
It's really bizzare seeing some of these people act like themselves too. Trevor Noah is no seen as a joke but he used to actually be pretty down to earth and held fairly rational positions on most things.
Watching a clip of Trevor Noah from a few years ago to now is literally like comparing two completely different people. At least in the public light. I would like to believe these guys are all still fairly normal outside of the talk shows
I remember when he had markiplier and another youtuber come on the show and tell him about videogames and he just insulted their profession the whole time.
@sam 9786 S Yeah, when George Floyd died he basically jumped on the bandwagon with a super knee-jerk reactionary video, without waiting for any context, spouting off about how there's soooo much racism in America.
Dr. G&W2021-04-21 23:25:13 (edited 2021-04-21 23:30:25 )
@B. I don't see a need to call him names. I did look further into it and I do believe he is wrong and that George Floyd didn't die from an overdose. I believe that the reports both noting the drugs but concluding that it was the choking out that directly caused his death don't have any obvious reasons to doubt said conclusion, and that the claim that he had enough fentanyl in his system to "kill three grown men" was at best a mistake. I actually read the autopsy myself in the middle of my search to check for any mistakes in reporting and while I'm not qualified to give a detailed analysis I did note that the level of fentanyl in his system was as reported and although while spending a few dozen minutes reading up I confirmed that fentanyl is an insanely dangerous drug, I also learned enough to reasonably agree with experts that Floyd's autopsy doesn't really lead to an overdose. Even in the potential case that it compromised his cardiopulmonary system to the point where without it in his system, he would have survived Chauvin pressing on his neck, then it's still murder by excessive force. Also since it's plausible that getting your oxygen supply cut off for that long could kill a perfectly healthy man, I don't believe it's fair to call it anything but murder.
@Dr. G&W Thank god somebody actually did some research. People hear one mention of drugs in his system and they assume that automatically clears Chauvin. If people actually looked through the report or listened to expert testimony, they would find that there was nowhere near enough fentanyl in his system to kill him by itself.
@Foxy Games well the court doesn't agree Personally I see that as stupid because there was no way that trial was fair.there was so many factors favoring one side and no reason other then possibly being right
@Largo Pinkulus yea even if they weren't threatened by the political figures they were indirectly threatened by the horde of morons that would hunt them down and basically torture them until they found something else to be mad about
@Largo Pinkulus made a little joke and you’re already pissing your pants, I know you gotta over analyze every little thing to get your (you’s) so go on, I won’t stop you
Fr? Smh ofcourse that's good old Jimmy Kimmel's generic "comedy" style. His Narcissim and Disrespectful behavior towards YouTube professionals. I never like Jimmy Kimmel or his Show. Never really found him funny at all.
@Spartan3 D213 genuine question. Do y’all seriously believe this shit? Like, I know mainstream media is ass, but getting your news from whatever your uncle-dad shares on Facebook isn’t an improvement
If i had markipier i'd laugh at him too especially if had a talk show about comedy, and i'd do it for coloring his hair and playing video games while crying like a grown man to appeal to the SJW, LGBTQ crowds that the extreme right also loves to make fun of, but hypocritically wont when a youtuber who shares their political views is attacked lul.
@kg Imagine being today years old to learn that late night talk shows are just stand up for bad comedians with barley any following. And if that threatens the trump base, it would be fitting....
@Francisco Acosta oh, I see what you mean. I didn't understand what you meant before. I thought you were siding with Kimmel. I completely agree with you.
@Foxy Games was there bodycam evidence that george floyd had been murdered, or did the cop just accidentally turn off his bodycam while he was choking a man for ten minutes
@Carlos_A_M do you have any clue what murder actually is? i swear you blm apologists see one link to a washington compost opinion piece about the whole george floyd situation and base your entire opinions on the matter around it, without doing any sort of research of the matter and it’s pathetic
@ElyWrlds Dude calm down, I dont even support blm as an organization, and yes I do know what murder is, for example, if you see an old grandma very late on her years and you knock her out of her wheelchair and she dies, was that murder or did she just happen to die from a disease at that exact moment? The disease and her condition contributed by weakening her, but you caused the death. I aint one of those who think we should take down the government, or that george floyd was the nicest person ever or that he had no drugs in him.
You of course instantly went all in saying that I was a blm apologist and that I base my opinions on the washington post, because you did not listen to any points before talking, you assumed what they would be to try (and fail) to invalidate them before a single word is said from the other side.
@Foxy Games right, he died of fentanyl overdose. As if a cop leaning on his neck for 9 minutes straight causing him not to be able to breathe and have no pulse had nothing to do with it. Recognizing that isn't being woke, it's being a human fking being
@Foxy Games no he didn’t. He died due to the pressure on his neck. Not the drugs he was on. Derek chauvin literally got convicted of his murder. There’s no arguing anymore
@J F The toxicology report also says that drugs were not the cause of death. Furthermore it's not just a matter of "Chauvin not being in the right" it was a matter of whether or not a police officer murdered a man in excessive force, which has been made plainly true over this past year and a half.
@yuhboi K.G. I was a heroin addict for over a decade. I'm clean now, but during my active addiction days "enough fentanyl to kill 3 men" was my normal amount. You gain a tolerance very quickly, even for fenny, and what would kill normal people wouldn't be enough to make me not sick. And ODs usually happen moments after taking. George walked to the store, bought cigs, and dealt with the police, then OD'd right as his neck was kneeled on? That's not how ODs work. If he OD'd he'd have done it before he made it to the store.
@The Most Diabolical Hater “I haven’t met an American Conservative who was capable of thought.” so you’re not from the US judging from that comment, but you’re going to try and lecture us about how our medical system totally isn’t corrupt? That’s actually hilarious. Idk how things are going in Europe, or how competent and honest the doctors are wherever you live, but here in the US just about every other natural cause of death has reached impossible record lows.
I just remembered how much blackface he did. IT'S CRAZY!
Also when Megan Fox talked about Michael Bay exploiting her, making her dance under a waterfall wearing a bikini in Bad Boys when she was 15 YEARS OLD and Jimmy basically said, well most of us men have these fantasies but we have a decency to hide it and the audience was laughing, while she was clearly uncomfortable. HOW WAS THE SHOW ALLOWED TO GO ON?
1. Expecting Jimmy Kimmel to be anything other than regurgitated bs is kind of a hilarious thing to be mad at. 2. Saying Jimmy Kimmel making fun of Trump is delving into politics and lecturing America about how bad we are is the least intellectually honest take on what's going on with that. 90% of his jokes (if you can call them that) about Trump are making fun of the dudes hair. You can't claim that the show is intellectually vapid (it is) while also claiming that it contends with serious politcal issues (it doesn't). So this is also kind of hilarious to be mad about.
Imagine if Matt Damon took over the show again and treated everyone from celebrities to common people with decency and respect, that would be the best late night comedy show
Etika had a good view on this One stream he went off on how you shouldn't trust on these celebrities or even him. To always question why then blindly agree on something. And it works with everything...
Jimmy Kimmel: Hey guys how about that Trump guy huh?
Audience explodes in laughter, wheezing at this amazing joke with its amazing subtle humor and brilliant political tones, Jimmy Kimmel gets the Nobel peace prize, the queen of England is there as he gets knighted, everyone is clapping.
He didn't really take sides in the video but it's easy to see why he'd think that because he kinda picks and chooses which side to generalize on whatever issue. It's the only problem I have with this video.
Deathstroke’s #1 Fan Christianity spread peacefully throughout the Roman Empire until the emperor Constantine made it a state religion. Islam spread through war, invading Christian countries in the process. (Not saying that I outright hate Islam)
James Armstrong that’s not what he said at all. I suggest you watch the whole video and take what he says into consideration. Not just hear 1/35 of what his 31 minute video has to offer.
This is why the public should stay out of politics, I don't like to associate myself politics of religion I hate them both, there's a bad to both of them
@James the MunchkinYou really should take those tainted glasses off. Empmelon isn't a Trump supporter at all and critiques both sides. All he pointed out was that Jimmy Kimmel is an extremely bland comedian who gets somehow better ratings than Colbert, Fallon, or Corden. Why? Because he constantly attacks Trump. At this point, it's just a race for who can insult Trump the most times in a session.
@James the Munchkin he literally said he diesnt agree with trump.Could yall commies be so desperate amd miserable to think of illusions in order to hate him😄
@Aldo Van Dyck delusional?bruh that is their ideology from at least two centuries.There are.supposed to exclude those people cuz they are CHRISTIANS.They follow JESUS CHRIST and what he is saying and doing.If they follow different path of his actions -now that is delusional. (Just clarifying not arguing.even though i can)
@Toby Evans sooooo, the crusades, at least the first ones from christianity where made in response to islamic nations conquering much of there territory at the time. Not really blaming em because that was just normal back then, but yup.
@James the Munchkin oi m8 that isnt what they said lmao. I don't like Trump but i think the moment he said something positive about Trump (AFTER HE SAID HE DIDNT LIKE HIM). You just went Trump bad he do no good Emplemon is troll he def said this go brrrrrrrr

funniest part is that all this is still true and Jimmy Kimmel still has the funniest and best late night talk show in America
Mad Respect Due to You Emp for just doing it Spitting The Truth even if it will likely turn away a bunch of turds but still would be views Good for You Brotha 👍🏾
I like most of the video, but the “Racism isn’t a problem because we elected Obama” argument is very dumb imo. However, I respect other views, so please dont firestorm the replys
23:29 We've seen that internet school doesn't work either. If anything it made it worse. For as much as I understand that the US school system is a difficult problem to solve, I will say that kids need to get that "why are we learning this? We'll never use it." mentality out of their heads. Lessen homework so kids can afford more free time is one way, I guess.
I personally don’t like trump very much, but Jimmy Kimmel is just a little obsessed, it’s like when you make a mistake in your wording and that one friend keeps bringing it up and laughing.
@Robert Wolff maybe a little is an under selling it a little bit but I comment a lot and when I use big wording I often get a lot of annoyed reply’s from people, and anyways, it doesn’t undermine the point I was saying
@Soundshock From what I've seen, he's very blunt about his opinions. He's one of the few people in Hollywood that doesn't like to just put up a fake smile like most of the celebrities (Ellen, Oprah, Jimmy Kimmel, etc.)
Yeah I don't think there's anything wrong with being a little obsessed with the person who has the biggest influence over the life and death of everyone in your country
@Tony Badaboni as a European he destroyed isis and ended our illegal immigration crisis so he did end an illegal immigration crisis just not the right one... And then Kabul fell and immigrants starting coming here again... FUCK
@Terryble Jokes we'll Colbert is actually slightly bit better in my opinion since he talks about other things, and atlist he's actually kinda funny but yeah... Still obsessed with Trump just a bit too much....
The difference, of course, being that your slip-up isn't trying to overthrow the American government and didn't fire everybody in the military for belonging to a protected class and doesn't have any potential to... yeah I think you get the picture.
I remember this when it came out, I started watching this guy more and more when he started with these types of videos, I'm now heading to university, life's fast.

finally something both sides can agree on and is absolutely insane the amount of trump bashing still going on to this vary day. Hes no longer president and you want him to stop looking like the figurehead of republicans STOP TALKING ABOUT HIM
I read trump’s tweets on twitter, He lives rent-free in my head. I live for the moments that he tweets at 3am. He makes me so damn mad. ORANGE MAN BAD!
As a left-leaning independent, I could not agree more with this statement. Bias in the media is a topic I've been watching ever since Trump won the election, and it truly is something to behold. It really sucks because there really isn't anything wrong with having internal bias and beliefs, as long as you don't impose these beliefs on others or let said bias impact your actions. The hypocrisy of this industry is evident because they constantly emphasize that republicans are loud-mouthed and emotionally immature and lack empathy, and yet they project their beliefs and feelings onto their products and criticize anyone who disagrees, despite the fact that they just said republicans never listen to anyone. It's like Barr said, everyone just needs to chill the hell out and not get so butthurt about everything.
@BIG MAK*Democrats I think you are conflating the left with the Democratic Party. Biden bombing Syria ain't the left. Making fun of Trump for the sake of making fun of Trump isn't left. If you are criticizing one, but can't criticize when the other does the same, you are a hypocrite, playing into partisan politics.
@BIG MAK I mean, that isn't definitive of a leftist. Criticizing Trump because of substantive reasons should be. You can be a leftist and still make fun of the non-substantive mistakes Trump makes, but I don't think that that really should be at the forefront of anyone's mind.
If it were any other Republican president, they'd probably be just as bad as Trump in terms of progressive policy, it's just something about Trump, idk
@Tony Dai I think there are two types of leftists, the ones that actually know what they're supporting and do research on the topics. and then there the ones who just watch main stream news and has little knowledge of politics, but voted Biden anyways because the media said so. Biden is not an accurate representative of the actual left. He basically is Trump 2.0. In less than 2 months there already has been thousands detained at the border, US warships sent dangerously close to China on purpose, Syria getting bombed for no known reason (we defeated isis a long time ago) If you were unaware, you would think that was being ordered under some militaristic autocrat.
@BIG MAK well liberals who feign advocacy for socially progressive politics but still work to keep elite politicians in a position of power over every actual worker in the country are not leftists. They wont even proclaim themselves leftists. Popular politics just put on a show of red vs blue team to keep people divided. Have you ever actually noticed a difference in the state of the country depending on the team the presidents playing for
@Dvs.Hawkeye Pierce Not really, the news cover how Biden is taking the children out of those internment camps and into better facilities and giving many citizenship so nice strawman, but you're wrong.
@BIG MAK Liberals aren’t left, America’s political spectrum consists of conservatives and conservatives who pretend to be democrats. Any democratic candidate in America would be a right wing candidate in any other country in the world. The true socialists who run and represent the actual left get shunned due to capitalist propaganda. People believe communism and socialism are the same thing, completely shattering any chances of an actual left representative to win.
@BIG MAK Just look at the last two “left” presidents, Biden and Obama. Both of them are closer to conservatives than they are to what the left is supposed to represent.
It's honestly really annoying that American media was more concerned with "haha orange man stupid" that they didn't even cover "haha orange man had multiple death row inmates executed for the first time in years because he was butthurt the next president said they would abolish the death penalty(took you guys that long huh?)". Trump, like many political figures, did terrible things and repeatedly proved their own inability to run a country, but the media became hyper focused on things that didn't matter, like him having a comb over or a bad fake tan. It's like if people only criticised the watergate guy(not American, can't be bothered learning fifty something names) for having a funny looking nose
@Dvs.Hawkeye Pierce For a while when Bush was bombing people no one really care but very hardcore anti-Bush people. That was honestly because of the times and what was happening. Bush for the most part gets a pass on everything he did even the WMD no WMD garbage that happened.
@Dueling Fatties Gaming I mean certainly most progressive anti-war protests with thousands of people in attendance across multiple states and internationally by countries who were aligned with the US during that time would disagree that "no one" cared, but certainly the democrats didn't care at that time because they knew they would lose more voters than the amount they would gain.
@Mesotolioma been 4 months but basically today’s politics is like baseball if their was only two teams, you pick your team and you die on any hill defending them under any circumstances. Lefties will grandstand and claim the moral high ground, while while conservatives try their best to tie their shoes in their own in the morning. It’s all nonsense really, it’s always about what side does what or how another side acts, it’s never about policy or solutions, it’s all just constant whining and moaning from both sides about the same bs they’ve been complaining about for the last 4 years. All you can really do is laugh at these people on both sides
@Stratosphere liberals have nothing to do with conservatism though. Capitalism is not an inherently conservative ideal, and runs contrary to said ideals.
@Stratosphere just like you (correctly) say that people conflate socialism and communism, you incorrectly conflate conservatism and liberalism. Liberalism destroys tradition, nothing inherent to western culture can be conserved under the system of liberalism. (FYI I’m not a Republican or even conservative)
That Rosanne Barr clip is absolutely baffling to watch after this past election cycle. She literally sat up there and told people to go and vote if they don't like what's happening in Washington.. and Kimmel called her crazy for saying it.
@Jason808Vance Well, you know what I mean. None of those late night show guys are "saints" or whatever, but I think Maher had a good idea going with letting both sides talk things out. You know, let everyone cool their jets a little. It's a neat idea that people should do more in my opinion.
Imma be real: I laughed at 5:58, because I thought it was an edit and just supposed to be him getting hit by a car due to me not being familiar with his voice yet. I seriously can’t explain it it was just funny to me
Hollywood is a messed up place...but don't bring Kobe Bryant into this conversation...there are many cases where people have been accused of something they didn't do...I get that this is a rant BUT STILL..."presumed innocent until proven guilty"
Love your videos (especially the "Never Ever" series) and can't wait for you to hit the 1Million mark.
Bruh, have you watched any of Carlin's HBO specials from 1992 until his last HBO special? He specifically says that worshiping a president like some kind of god is the stupidest thing anyone can do. In Back In Town and Life is Worth Losing he explicitly says that voting is a big waste of time.
Carlin's opinion of Tantrum Trump would be pretty much the same as Slick Willie: At least he's honest about being full of shit.
@Antiform well said lol. You must be libertarian like I am haha. Although the primaries definitely were not rigged against Sanders. Sanders was too early. Americans are sympathetic to Socialism, but they are still uncomfortable with it. That was proven two years ago. But they will not be come the 2020s, and the US will eventually become a poor man's USSR. One disagreement, and that is that no election is rigged. They are rigged 100% of the time just because of their existence. Because who wins in any election? Certainly not citizens. But the state does. Each and every time.
You gotta just sit back and laugh at it all, really. Obombya and Tantrum Trump are following the path that Neocon Dubya blazed for them. A new path will be blazed soon, probably by a younger version of Sanders. That's when things are gonna REALLY suck. Well they'll be alright for a few years but then its just gonna bite everyone in the ass. Just like the USSR and most of Eastern Europe from the 1940s-1990s. There will be coups and probably a 2nd revolutionary war. Not something I want to be a part of. 3rd world Southeast Asia may have more statism, but at least things are cheaper there and I don't have to worry about wars being started for no reason at all.
I also disagree with the Bushisms being unintentional. Although he was one of the worst US Presidents in the history of the nation, many things he said and did were instructions from elites to make people more sympathetic to the left. Since the 2000s, the US has begun deliberately making anyone who leans right sound stupid in the media to get people to trust leftists more. Its the same tactics that were performed AGAINST leftists until the 2000s, tbh.
Did Donna Brazile not crack the whole Bernie thing wide open? Was she proven wrong at some point? The podesta emails also implied he was never going to make it to the end. Personally I always got the impression Bernie was 'scripted' to step down and direct his userbase over to Hillary, whose election was part of some rapidly accelerated NWO plan. Trump on the other hand was "not part of the simulation", so to speak, and as a result his candidacy was never taken seriously even at zero hour of the ballot, and his chances were downplayed against all evidence or statistics to the contrary. As for Bushisms, I was thinking more of stuff like "Fool me once, fool me ... well you won't fool me twice", those kinds of idioms.
Oh no. Tantrum Trump, Comrade Bernie, or Lizard Queen Hillary, the elites were good with ANY of them taking office. Its just who the elites trusted the most, which happened to be Trump. Let's face it; 8 years of Obombya followed by 8 years of Lizard Queen and people would have noticed something.
Its Libertarians who the elites want to make as uncomfortable as possible, as they knowingly understand that only the state wins in an election. AnComs (aka Marxists) understand this too, but aren't as supportive of free markets as Libertarians. So the elites aren't worried about them.
Antiform: Umm, that wasn’t actually a joke. Whatever novelty there was to an orange businessman who wants to build a literal wall between the US and Mexica has really worn off by now - the whole affair off separating immigrant children from their families is seriously messed up to the point where I don’t even want to joke about it anymore.
Antiform: Where are you getting your information from? Because I’ve heard that this extreme degree of separation where children are held in cages is a very recent policy of the Trump administration (which was announced in April actually). After doing some research, it seems that the Obama administration was heavily criticised for detaining families for a period - I found nothing about him splitting up families though.
It kinda seems more like you’re the one getting angry about something you know nothing about.
Alex Bennet "rich Americans" 41 million Americans live in poverty and honestly the people that cross illegally just add to that number. NO country has open borders so why should America? A wall is unnecessary when he can just slightly up border patrol for a more cost effective impact but that's a different issue.
they never seem to mention his anti environment decisions which is honestly the main reason I dislike him. I feel like more people should know about it but when I talk to people about it I swear every time they go "whaaat really?! I had no idea". it's kind of discouraging.
@Alex Bennet so whos the president? I guess it's the guy who lowered taxes and is trying to stop north Korea from hating us. It's easy to switch them up tho because they're both named Donald Trump and look the exact same. I'm not saying Trump can do no evil but he has done some good. You're acting like he's Herbert Hoover
It's not at all unusual considering late night shows always make fun of big names and Trump does some new norm shattering bullshit everyday. Also people watch.
Antiform yikes this didn’t age well along with all comments that claim that Trump doesnt use foreign support in elections which is against the constitution and is considered a treasonable offense

@Antiform Either way America is fucked. With the exception of Obama no president in the 2nd millennium has been any good. And even Obama wasn't too great.
as someone who is very much anti-Trump, every time I see a comedian, or talk show, or just ANY show that makes a shot at Trump, I always feel like "ok, that's just a quick shot." it's an easy joke to make. just insult him and about 50% of your audience will laugh.
@Jose Doe I don't remember why I decided to suddenly bring up Vaush, but yeah he strongly brings his points across and doesn't overdo almost anything or stick to a comfort zone, and his content is very enjoyable.
Destiny: "If you defend yourself in a morally justified way, and then you retreat from that situation, and a mob is chasing you down, and it's possible that they'll kill you if they get their hands on you, do you think you're obligated to submit yourself to the mob?"
Vaush: "Um... I'm actually gonna have to think about that... , generally, I think yeah."
I agree. I think it's important to talk about it a decent amount because obviously Trump is a large figure and very relevant, but he shouldn't be 95% of the jokes. Personally I enjoy John Oliver more than most hosts because he talks about topics that aren't just EW TRUMP. Yes, he does sometimes mention or cover trump but I think that's perfectly acceptable. Loads of respect to all the people having civil discussion despite political views, it's refreshing. People are people in the end and sometimes it's hard to put this shit aside, but y'allre epic despite your politics. Almost everyone I've seen is very respectful and someone I'd enjoy. ♥️
@Nora T I'd even go so far as to say it's totally ok to joke about our president, it's just that's 99% of these "talk/comedy/news shows" material is just that, and the majority of that material is just unfunny
Cannot stand the guy either. He deserves to be made fun up but this is getting too far. Gotta be a limit here. The more we focus on making fun of Trump too much the more he might win the election and the problem just will not go away, it is only gonna get worst. Bad publicity is still good after all.
@Alonzo Gray people end up taking the "humour" seriously just because it's about a political figure, not to mention bits of truth sprinkled in it so sometimes it all ends up sounding true/correct, even though it just isn't
Jimmy acts like he’s some common man just trying to stand up to “meany Trump” but he’s just another rich guy trying to go with trends and make more money. All of them are the same.
@cooper thompson me and one of my older brothers have seperate stances in a political term but we can agree on many things and talk in a civil and mature way unlike certain people in this society

It's honestly why I never got into these shows to begin with NOBODY CAN Sane Republicans and Sane Liberals can't watch this shit because its like the same song and dance repeating itself OVER and OVER AND OVER. And with the blatant HYPOCRISY is itself ironic as shit...

Comparing a literal league of sexual assault allegations to the singular allegations made against Kobe that've been debunked over a decade ago is actually kind of disgusting and a huge reach.
i don't watch late night crap, they've become the anti trump parade with the same jokes. its a good thing the internet is invented, or else many of us including me would have severe TDS
This is also why TV has been on a downward spiral, relatedly. If it wasn't for Breaking Bad and Game of Thrones style entertainment occasional rising over the mediocrity I fully expected it to have died back when everyone just ran reality TV.

@leafyishereisdumbname aka ThanosetalgicMemeories Chill bud. I never said I "was superior to Americans" or whatever you're saying. All I've said is that this show feels so exagerated to the point of almost looking like a parody of itself. But it isn't, this is the actual show.
@ShinyMoltres yeah lmao. It really do look like a satire of a talk show. It just pisses me off when people say stuff like that just as I'm sure I'd be idiotic for me as an American to insult your nation's TV. Sorry bro I didn't mean to be mean, you meant your comment out of genuine concern. Because like your TV shows, we the common people don't have any control over ours. So it'd be meaningless to judge us based on that. Not that you were. I thought you were. My bad.
Just to clarify I didn't mean this comment to sound pretentious or as if I'm saying americans suck or whatever, its just that this show in particular is so absurd and exagerated that it resembles the parody tv shows from GTA.
@Randy Randerson which I suspect you are a Gen Z. I will note your opinion and file it under uninformed and uneducated and "you're fro the early 2000s when the internet took over everything-- nope, no filters"
In terms of rhetoric that Jimmy Kimmel and other late night hosts: it's the "otherism" and/or political polarization. It IS irresponsible and many didn't realize the terrible outcome it had created (i.e., worsening otherism) until it was too late. Now, it's just standard and unfortunate, truly an issue within news media, celebrity, and any online persona that enables or even participates in the behavior.
I try to have an open mind, but at 29 minutes you just said that it's part of the liberal platform to suggest that there's no such thing as a poor white man. That's just factually wrong.
"The fundamental liberal ideals of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion, the separation of church and state, the right to due process and equality under the law are widely accepted as a common foundation of liberalism"
The best way to describe Jimmy Kimmels... "comedy" is just a long un-ending dull pain that isn't actually that painful, but it makes you groan and sigh at the same time and just wish that it would end, it's not harmful or anything, it's just so dull and bland that it kinda hurts.
Roseanne: Makes completely reasonable and level-headed statement, even compromising with the opposition because she just wants the country to function and to have what's best for everyone within reason Kimmel: "wHaT yOu'Re SaYiNg iS cRaZy."
GrapeSkoda he’s like ummmm i was supposed to barrate you for 15 minutes and you ask me a political question that requires any thought? Donald Trump craaaazy amirite HAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA

@GrapeSkoda the only unreasonable part of her argument was to imply voting change anything. The system is rigged, no one will change anything playing by the rules.

that pissed me off because she was making incredible points. I never understood why our people have been so eager to impeach Trump and see him fail. They'd rather see this country in complete disarray without trump than an orderly country with him. I mean yeah if he is blatantly doing things worthy of impeachment, then get him out of there. But he has been under so fine of a microscope that even him boarding Air Force One with toilet paper stuck to his shoe is national news worthy. It is sick. I'm not a huge Trump guy and I do believe he has some serious flaws, but when it comes down to it I want to see him succeed because he is our president.
Great video! I’ve got to be honest I’d never heard of you. I was just letting YouTube play whatever came up next and boom! Here you are. Anyways, I’ve never heard of you but you sound like a perfectly reasonable person, you’ve earned my subscription.

@Kraqqen @Just Call Me Joe How can we expect cancel culture to end if we keep cancel other people, we have to be good people in order for this lunacy to end
Dorkalicious can’t believe I’m about to say this, but your right, we can’t pick and choose where we let cancel culture rule, he shouldn’t be cancelled, although he may deserve it
Dorkalicious I somewhat agree but we need some level of “cancel culture” for people to get punished for doing bad things on the internet. Without it, people can get away with some really scummy shit like, for example, blackface. The closest thing that we have to cancelling outside of the internet is going to jail. But that is for breaking the law, not racism, homophobia, etc.
@Dorkalicious "We", no no no. It is not "we" that are canceling people, pedro. No one listens to us. Twitter Blue checkmarks are doing the canceling.They have fame, people worships their status and do their bidding. They step on(cancel) other people to get more famous.
Now, it is their turn to get cancelled. "We" can only watch, "We" have no power.
Dont worry though, it will stop when they target 1%ers.
Instead of “canceling” which in reality means “let’s contact advertisers, make a bunch of noise, stir the shitpot, and smear someone because we want them gone”
What is natural and should be in place instead is simply the free market, if Jimmy is recognized by individuals who simply don’t care for his show then he will go away and something else will naturally take his place because he can’t supply what the audience is demanding. As long as you’re not maliciously attacking someone, it’s not “cancel culture”.
Godd Howard cancel culture is terrible, but only because it’s misused. If it were properly and wisely used instead of being used like a toddler with an ak-47, then it would be an amazing thing used to take the worst people out of positions of power. I think that it’s more than fair enough to cancel jimmy. It’s just not okay to cancel people like countdankula
@Eagle Ambush @thebeatleswin1 did you watch the fucking video? The entire point is that people are being manipulated into thinking that he’s worthy of fame and a good person, just because he is famous and says he’s a good person. He sits atop a pillar of lies and people think that the lies are merit. That’s why he’s still popular at all, and a free market system won’t bring how bad he is to light

@Dorkalicious We can’t let our emotion get in the way if it fuels a endless fire that will spread to create toxicity, and said and done in war is that all party’s lose it especially translates well to human behavior.when your own emotions get to you the people involved loses including you.
I just feel the need to get this out there. I'm not going to pretend that I know what's best, but I'm going to say what I think the best plan of action is for cancel culture, and how it's used in relation to that. For one, I think cancel culture should exist. Say what you will, but it's ultimately necessary to keep a healthy balance on what content is socially acceptable and what isn't. Now, that mostly regards the present, but history being dug up, if verified and deemed unfavorable to an extreme degree, I think it should still count. Blackface? Borderline sexual assault? Political Bashing? Each of those instances could be deemed forgivable on their own and considered separately, but this has been a practically constant stream of bad and offensive content, and while I won't get into it here, I also think society has grown a bit of a thin skin when it comes to being offended. Jokes that legitimately discriminate against and affect a demographic are what should be deemed offensive, in my mind. When you personally disagree with an opinion or give your own, I adopt the ideology that it should only be offensive when it threatens or begins to affect you in a real way for reasons other than your capability to respect the human ability to have an opinion that conflicts with your own. Kimmel is a good example of this, as he reinforces sexist humor, politically skews the audience with no regard to how impressionable they are on the other side of the screen, and performs the very definition of racist comedy, which only serves to further the modern strain on the relationship between black and white Americans, and all of these collectively reinforce radically unacceptable behavior in the rest of the country. Cancel culture shouldn't be used to get rid of someone who disagrees with you for that purpose, it should be used to get rid of people who are legitimately offensive to the point of affecting you in a real way that stems from something other than your intolerance of an opinion separated from your own. If anyone feels the need to add to this, by all means, feel welcome to. This is just what I see as the best way to use cancel culture as a tool instead of a weapon moving forward. To the reader, have a good day/night.
@Quantum Physics "Cancel culture should exist to some degree".
I used to think like this too back in 2016 when YouTube drama was at its peak. But it's precisely because of this thinking that it's escalated so fucking much over the years.
We used to cover vegan gains calling someone stupid over the internet, now we're covering racism and rape. No, cancel culture was a mistake. The legal system exists for a reason, it may have flaws, but it's designed to be fair, there is a due process.
The reason why cancel culture is flawed is because it operates on guilty until proven innocent. Anyone can say anything about anyone else, and the general public because judge, jury and executioner.
Sure, maybe Kimmel deserved it. But where does it stop? YouTubers? Instagram influencers? Reddit mods? Until recently, I've seen regular-ass people get cancelled on Twitter. People who work a 9-5 and have zero support from any kind fans, because they're just regular people. It only hurts the people who can't get back up after falling. Whereas Jimmy? Where is he now? His reputation is somewhat tarnished, but how about that guy I knew? He's 23 years old and his job opportunities were revoked, they didn't want him anymore (employers check your social media now), his new girlfriend is now his new ex, and several of his friends have seenzoned him. What did he get cancelled for? His previous girlfriend called him a sexual offender because he was pushy about sex one time.
Cancel culture is toxic, it doesn't even work on the targets it was meant to take down. The only successful times cancel culture worked I guess was I'm the smash Bros community a few months ago, but there were casualties there as well. A guy and a girl were both black out drunk and she accused him of rape.
@MsDestroyer900 I'm sincerely sorry what happened to those people you mentioned who were falsely accused of heinous criminal acts. However, that's not what I mean when I say that cancel culture should exist. As previously implied, it should be based off of things that have actually happened and have proof behind them, such as with Jimmy Kimmel and the bits I mentioned that are less comedic than they are outright negatively polarizing. I've never supported false accusations, especially in a manner that abuses the fact that women who falsely accuse men of rape can ruin their lives with the connotation of that crime even if those same men are proven innocent. That's not what I see as cancel culture. What I see it to be is that nothing illegal was done, but it still, within reason, needs to be monitored. Take the bit about Jimmy with blackface. That was not illegal by any means, there is no law prohibiting that, and the same could be said about the bit about women feeling his pants and the obnoxious political dissemination. There definitely is something wrong with false criminal accusations, especially those of a sexual or predatory nature towards a man, because these cases, even though false, can permanently stunt their ability to provide for themselves and those they care about. It can tear apart families, homes, and could even cause suicide to be considered as an appropriate response. Once again, I'm truly sorry about what happened to those people you know and see casually tossed aside and shunned by society, but what happened to them isn't based in cancel culture as I see it, rather, a gross misuse of Judicial bias and lack of coping mechanisms won out against logical reasoning. To answer another question you posed, I think it should stop at what happens on television or the internet. What happens in the physical world and actually affects or threatens us nearly always has proof behind it and can be made into a case in the court of law, and unfortunately, that system is corrupt, too, but since there is already a working legal system for it, there's no need. If a man was a proven rapist, cereal killer, thief, arsonist, etcetera, he needs no attention from cancel culture as there are prohibitions on that in the legal system and he will be tried in court for those crimes. And people need to stop being so paranoid about individuals accused of criminal actions that were never committed due to stigma. If this weren't an issue, that person you know who was blackballed out of financial opportunities and left in societal dust wouldn't be where he is today. I think my claim before still stands, but may still, despite the large effort put into it, be a tad less specific than it needed to be, and also that the legal system needs a lot of work, as well as the impact made onto people who get involved with it on no grounds. I hope that person can eventually turn their life around again, and that this court system we have can be relieved of the vast majority, if not all, of its problems that cause this type of negative influence. And, as a side note, have a good day/night.
@MsDestroyer900 I can't change your mind, so I'm going to opt to agree and disagree. Also, I don't think you understood what I meant by 'fake accusation.' I meant false, as in they were claimed but untrue. I wasn't saying that they were never claimed, just that they had no evidence to actual rape happening. And on the topic of the nuance of the legal system, my father was assaulted out of nowhere on his own property when I used to live in Pell Lake, Wisconsin. The man was selling his dead child's prescription morphine he'd been refilling somehow for over a year, and was a child rapist and registered sex offender. The police proceeded to threaten my father, who was the victim of assault and chose to perform self-defense by pinning him to the ground for about five minutes until his wife could call the police in order to prevent his own injury and that of his family or pets, with legal action. The system is corrupt, and there's no two ways about it. Are there good police? Yes. Is the legal system effective where it needs to be? Mostly. Does it get it wrong a lot of the time? Absolutely.
@Dorkalicious yeah but kimmel should really feel what its like on the other end of the stick. Sometimes people have to really learn why cancel culture is toxic first-hand
Like the other talk show host, Kimmel's show is no longer designed to elicit laughter; rather designed for applause. Kimmel makes two types of jokes; stupid, mindless jokes and divisive jokes that play a roll in America's social destruction.
I enjoyed the hell out of this video. Also that Morgan Freeman clip at 25:00 always stuck with me after all these years. He's absolutely right and I've stood by that for years.
Fast forward to November 2021 and people voted for a Republican Governor(s) in Virginia and New Jersey. People like Jimmy are absolutely clueless and detached with the average citizen.
Damn this video has a great topic but I did not know it would be so politically charged 😂 hopefully you edit these when you get older, he’s the worst and I agree with a lot of what you say about him but damn…these arguments are just ridiculous 😂 Hollywood millionaires aren’t liberals, more racist and corrupt than most Americans
It's a good video about "progressives" going off the cliff but I'm confused by your 10 minute defense of Daddy Zogbot followed immediately by a rebuke of celebrity culture.
I kinda wish EmperorLemon was much more popular with his content. He truly has some amazing pointers to provide how bad certain people are when it comes to certain things they do. Especially when Jimmy Kimmel should just talk about other huge issues about the world than politics. It'll be even better if they all talk about the education system that I'm still stuck on with a bunch of normies in my classes, god help us.
I actually never actually watched Jimmy Kimmel live and are more familiar with his previous work in this case his tenure on "The Man Show"; at which like many sketch comedy shows from the past either aged very poorly or is more relevant than ever. In the case of Kimmel's Karl Malone skits at which he decided to go as far as dress in blackface to portray the former NBA player and mock Malone's tendency to talk in the third-person not only looks horrible but begs to question how was this given the "green light" by the network? .
James Corden is even worse, Corden by far is the worst. I used to love Conan O’Brien (still do but I haven’t watched him in a long time) Conan O’Brien is f*cking awesome especially back in the day!
This video has aged like a fine wine. No one stops to think anymore. People think the world is literally a cartoon. There are only the good guys and the bad guys
You don’t hear it said enough but people on the far left dont like liberals either. We usually get grouped together but many liberal policies and talking points are infuriating to leftists and Kimmel represents everything wrong with liberalism perfectly. Leftists and liberals may have some overlap by being left of center but very little beyond the surface level. I feel like people assume you need to be centrist or right wing to hate liberals but absolutely not.
Many left leaning people with actual sound political ideas see that bashing trump indiscriminately, worshiping Democrats indiscriminately and hypocritical virtue signaling is all poisonous. They often agree that the NRA sucks but do believe gun ownership is a valuable right, and that the gun violence situation is over simplified.
Leftists are a strong believer in social justice, discourse on racial, gender and sexual inequality and history and support Black Lives Matter. because they believe these ideas and actions are sound, logical and justified as a response to well documented, verifiable and severe oppression from both social, legal and government levels. (Remember that police ARE the government corruption and as a people we have every right and duty to point out tyrannical corruption and abuse).
Many leftists are socialist leaning and believe higher taxes in some areas of government are actually good for the country, such as medicine, education and infrastructure.
but regardless, leftists despise liberalism as a political group. Who only support things like BLM and surface level woke talking points because it’s popular to do so
Yeah. The problem is that people want to take the easy way of thinking and label everything left/right when judging anything on the left/right political spectrum is basically useless. It's the easy way of thinking about things unlike the hard nuanced way that requires more effort and discomfort.
People follow all sorts of different ideologies/worldviews/value systems/whatever you want to call them, that are often completely opposed to things others of the same 'side' wants.
It's like when trying to put Nazi Germany onto the left/right spectrum, a completely pointless exercise that actually makes no sense.
I was looking for a comment that addressed the equating tankies to a typical American liberal, as is done in this video, and this is the closest I've found so far. Crazy how the creator takes the worst of what gets lumped into the left (tankies) and uses it to paint with a wide brush over the entirety of the rest of the spectrum up to conservatives. So crazy. And crazy how their right-wing views seem not so bad when followed directly after. Definitely not manipulative like Kimmel or anything.
I could not agree with you more about not hearing it enough that leftists don't like liberals. You don't hear it enough but leftists are not tankies either, unlike what this video makes it seem like.
This videos where you take down a particular target and go into detail on why they're such a bad thing for our culture are brilliant. You should totally do more.
@Lizzy Trip and even then when they actually receive any sort of backlash its usually immediately forgotten after about a month cuz Twitter has already went to their next "victim"
Comparing Jimmy Kimmel to Earth worms is pretty insulting,, like earth worms are actually a very important part of the ecosystem okay, if you didn’t know they’re extremely beneficial to the soil of the entire planet. Jimmy Kimmel in the hand... well
@Tintin Surprisingly the only thing i hear getting more views now a days on cable is NASCAR, with their last race at Kansas getting 20% more viewership than last year.
@Stix N' Stones I put a timestamp to where EmpLemon mentions the rape allegations against Bryant. And I'm gonna be honest, I didn't notice the original comment was saying late night television aged poorly and not the video itself, so a bit of a mistake on my end I suppose.
@JoCoBrony well he most likely did it so this video didn't age bad at all infact it should remind you to be sympathetic to the family and his daughter.
@exetone propoganda- information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view
@chromso lol, i made it for my school mates to pass their school project and my teacher ended up saying that it was useful, so it's just been sitting there since :)
9:03 His show might be unfunny, but at least he's got principles.

Yeah we need more lying contents. Like nothing happened on Jan 6 2022. As far as late night hosts go; Letterman was great for several years. O'Brian was the best.
tv service is an absolute joke; you pay out the ass for 50 gazillion channels that are mostly non-hd and maybe watch like 3-5. No reason to not watch online instead; you're already paying isp for internet, and you get to actually choose what you wanna watch and listen to.
My grandma (who I live w ATM) is one of the few die-hard Kimmel fans lmao. She would constantly save stuff from it on her DVR and usually didn't go to bed until after the opening.
Shes a trump basher too though lol; and by that I mean blaming trump for everything including stuff that falls on others. Your view is distorted on either end of that spectrum.
That Donald Trump take about North Korea didn't age very well...

Holy shit man, I swear your videos need to be saved and preserved by digital and physical means, so they can serve as a time capsule of American society during the 2010s
Call me crazy, but it’s almost as if the social division is deliberate. It keeps us infighting, and that division prevents unity, which is what makes us powerful as a society.
It feels as if the corporate overlords dictate what’s said in television and the news.
i love how the moment he tried saying something good about trump, everyone just went full stupid and called him a full trump-supporter, even though in the video, he said he didn't like him
he isnt? I belong to that crowd and stopped watching tbh. In retrospect kind of an impulsive thing to do, just because I dont agree with that notion...
I agree it's silly. I understand it though. after so many years of complete garbage spewing from both sides of the political spectrum it's more of a instinctive reflex than an active thought.
@Hurri I know what it is. And I wouldn't say the term's "gone out of style", more it's just not as commonly used because better terms, more accurate terms, are used instead.
Actually its the slimiest thing a human can do. Ive been on ifunny and reddit long enough to know people will say these things to sound un biased. Its at this point that you cant hate emp because he appears to be on both sides. When in reality his thought process is "i really like trump but i dont want to be shit on in the comments and i dont want my feelings hurt." Its an extremely common tactic... You can tell easily when someone says "honestly i hate the guy but you got to admit....."
@Camerandpen Photography then how are you supposed to talk good about trump without being completely on his side? how do you know his thought process? are you not allowed to talk about trump positively? I kid you not, if he didn't say "I don't even like Trump" there would be way more angry people in the comments. Everyone already craps on trump enough, i'm pretty sure he's just trying to balance things out
In retrospect he was a horrible president. His handling with immigration, health care, taxation and corona virus pandemic has earned him the title of mediocre president and showed us that people have no foresight.
@KeyIsOn I know what fascism looks like, alright? I had to stare it down for FOUR YEARS. I had to fight back proud boys for FOUR YEARS and am still doing so. Don't tell me I'm generalizing. I know exactly what facism looks like, kiddo.
@Ryleeman54number2 "a namer here" is trolling btw. Might even be a shill but it's pretty obvious that he's just trying to act out his version of an "SJW"
Emp was wrong to associate all this behaviour with all liberals. Economic right liberals (or neolibs) are often those voted into presidencies, senatorial seats and as representatives, but they often promise and fail to deliver change, this leads modern liberals, especially in younyer demographics (on the younger side of the millennial generation and the older side of gen z) to believe that their candidate will make changes not just socially but also economically. These promises are often empty, even though there are several policies which could be enacted overnight like student loan forgiveness. What's infuriating as a lib is that Democrats in power do nothing with it while Republicans in power try to tear down whatever they can while in power, Texas recently did this by overturning Roe v. Wade. Liberals in power are just as corrupt as Republicans in power in the long run, revolving door lobbyists, nepotism, radicalization and insider trading is practiced by both parties, but despite that it only ever seems to lead to more modern liberal criticism and "liberal infighting" instead of party reform, this is why Bernie Sanders was snubbed in the last two elections, he is economically left compared to his fellow senators. Despite this massive problem with the Democratic side of our system, the Republican side is objectively worse. They restrict civil liberties, cut safety nets, reduce welfare benefits, and give taxbreaks to their millionaire friends, yet they somehow have managed to convince the majority of their base that only 1 news channel and 16 talking heads on youtube tell the truth, leading to more and more radicalism.
@Glum Sulk but I dont think we ever had a president who met in person with nk's leader? Also nk made a statement about what would happen if biden got elected I believe??
@Id (No Purpose) he didnt say he liked trump he was just pissed off that everyone was so absurdly obnoxious about it. I didnt agree with trump either, and note that even though the liberal party was obnoxious, this video was made far before the raid on the capitol. wouldve been a different story on both parts if it was.
@Kurt because its not only an outdated, old term only 14 year olds and leafy used in 2016, but its also kinda just, lame? people just don't use it anymore and I'm glad that's the case. i don't think its pathetic IMO, but kind of a red flag.
There’s quote that Lyndon b Johnson summarised is unpopular with media “ if one morning i walked on top of the water across the Potomac river, the headline afternoon would read: ‘president can’t swim’ “
And 3 years later Fox's Greg Gutfeld beats all of them in ratings. Gee, I wonder why. Could it be because Kimmel, Fallon, Oliver, Noah, and Colbert all got even more insufferable (if that's possible) since this video came out?
@bbtootall There's only so many times someone can say "haha trump bad" until the joke gets old. People who laugh at the same joke over and over have the attention span of a goldfish.
@Dutcher That'll never happen cause both sides have become more authoritarian over the past 40 years pushing their policies through the federal government instead of letting state governments make decisions. This has lead to people hating each other over petty differences. It also doesn't help when the medias involved in it all pushing the division more then anything.
The reason this is better is because they are valid arguments. Not fabricated outrage parroted off of some internet twit Fox decided to run with today.
This is because EmpLemon isn't trying to forward a particular agenda, but is instead commentating on things that interest him. Anyone trying to push an agenda is lying and being disingenuous with you.
I liked this video because I hate Jimmy Kimmel, but the way you structured you arguments against him are not unlike the way he bashes Trump. Going after Kimmel because you disagree with his politics is blatant hypocrisy. Obviously his beliefs ain’t in the right place… but you may wanna come down from your “soap box” because yours ain’t either fam.
Only a dumb ass or a guy with no access to tv or internet could ever deny / not be aware. Sometimes, i think the problem doesn't lay in the political leaders, but the will of the people, to submit their destinies to outer greater forces, which never turned nor will turn out right.
They literally don’t talk about anything else, it’s so boring. All you hear in America today is “Trump is so horrible” or “Trump is so great” It’s ridiculously boring and aggravating
@Gotham Street Moderates are closer to being right wingers, than the lefties are, if you ask me. Sometimes i just wish i could live in a society where people's natural gifts could be used and serve others, a society structured by natural competence and logical thought out hierarchies, based on competence, instead of electing a bunch of dirt bags. But i guess i'm just digressing, here.
@benz merc Perhaps one day, although that would create an issue. What about people who don't really have a talent? Would there be a sense of elitism for those who have multiple gifts? It sounds good in theory but there are also a lot of possible problems with it.
@Gotham Street Multiple gifts should considered has multiple properties, so to speak. It doesn't need to be a talent, maybe you have a personality which is preferable to carry out certain tasks / jobs. I realize there are lots of things that can go wrong with every system. I just think that the current model is a dead end. It replaced monarchy, but we're still managed like cattle, through the use of propaganda and govercancerment. All we added, was the false sense of choice. Thank goodness for technology, even though it's also being weaponized, it also brings an opportunity to see things through more lenses, and hopefully, help us all to reach better conclusions.
@benz merc I concur. Hopefully we as a country can realize that demonizing people who have different political beliefs isn't effective and keeps us stagnant when there are bigger issues to be held. I do think your idea could be made into an essay or even a book though. It's very interesting.
@Gotham Street It only adds up to the normal people's credibility, otherwise, why the major aggressive counter attacking? There's a weird over shadowing mental illness over the population, human behavior is getting worst by the day. Maybe this is one of the last stages of western civilization, i believe it's called the age of the intellect, this is the 5th stage in the Glubb Pasha's life cycles of the empires. The 6th being the age of decadence, and the 7th, the decline and collapse. I believe we are in the 6th, at least. Amazing to learn about his model, and how other empires have followed the same path. It seems that, the structures for a well functioning society, were abandoned. Nobody saves money, nobody wants to communicate without technology, anymore, nobody is willing to exchange immediate satisfaction for delayed long term satisfaction. Quantitative easing, credits, cheap materials, abandonment of spirituality and the embracement of Nihilism, are signs of societal collapse, which is no longer financially, morally and spiritually sustainable.
@Peter Carioscia I'm not choosing any side until I understand what I'm actually rooting for. Surprise surprise, everything is biased either to the left or right nowadays. Also, both of the sides are choking each other at the neck, and I'd rather not be a part of that until they can grow up and act civil, not like dogs barking at each other with a leash keeping them from mauling each other.
@benz merc I mean, I'm pretty sure that's been attempted before, but those sorts of systems tend to devolve into elitism and corrupt heirarchies of people who feel entitled to their power without any checks to prevent them from abusing it. The system we currently use has more staying power, as has been demonstrated by it's ongoing lifespan. It's not immune to corruption, but it is more resistant to it.
You also seem to be making a massive amount of negative generalizations about the general public. People are better than you seem to think.
@Daniel Kemp none, I believe i said he represents democrat values more than current crop of democrats Candidates (sorry, I can't check atm, I'm on mobile.) The Dem candidates have gone so extreme has to only represent the far Fringe extreme.
To be fair, I should have said Trump represents moderate democrat values far better than current Dem Candidates. Because frankly Trumps values are far more center (albeit center right) than any Dem Candidate, besides Tulsi, who frankly doesn't have a chance of getting the nomination.
@Peter Carioscia what political compass are you using to judge this? Compared to the rest of the world, and even much of past American politics, several democratic candidates are not extreme in the least.
Again: what values/policies does Trump have that represent moderate Dem values?
I'm not a Trump supporter, but the simple truth that most Trump supporters and opponents fail to realize is that Trump has a love-hate relationship with the media. They love him for the ratings he never fails to bring. I'd argue the media, despite their coverage being less than fawning in nature, were actually crucial in Trump's election due to the sheer amount of coverage. However, the media hates how Trump, despite being so outwardly uncouth and reprehensible, at the end of the day pushes a similar policy agenda to them and the rest of the political (corporate) establishment, albeit with a much less PR friendly face. By playing as though they are "against him," the media and the liberal establishment can superficially distance themselves from an evil policy consensus (austerity, endless war, corporate control) they themselves have been supporting for a long time now.
@Peter Carioscia if you think Tulsi represents the "center" of the Dem party, you are in dire need of a poli sci course. She literally supports M4A, is openly anti-imperialist, and resigned as vice chair of the DNC to support Bernie. All the people you likely rally against (Schumer, Pelosi, Durbin, etc) are the centrists/right wingers. Hint: appeals to identity politics don't make someone left wing. In fact it's usually a way to conceal right wing policy (look at the whole "Bernie Bros" thing)
@Flames The Phoenix you really aren't reading what I'm writing, huh? I said SHES THE CLOSEST to representing the center of the Dem Candidates..Jesus Christ man, get some reading comprehension.
@Peter Carioscia the culture war is a distraction and an asenine waste of time for all parties involved. You sit around arguing about bathrooms like it fucking matters while you've been bled dry by massive corporations and their puppets on both parties for the past 50 years. You've been lied to so that you think there's two sides on two extremes, when really, on the mainstream anyways, all you have is the pro-corporate party and the controlled opposition pro-corporate party. Wait until you realize that CNN and Fox News, despite being "two ends of the spectrum," both support endless wars, corporate dominance, austerity, and capital in pretty much every way. Everything that matters, that affects our lives, comes down to the economy and the so-called "left" (Democrats and liberals) and right are both in almost total agreement. Don't let them distract you with stupid cultural ideology.
@Flames The Phoenix I also said Trump is closer to representing moderate Dems than any of the Dem Candidates because they are so far off to the fringes, and i can't name a single policy position of Trump's thats Actually a Leftist position, but they're considerably more moderate than how far left the Dems have gone.
@Peter Carioscia Joe Biden, Pete Buttigieg, Amy Klobuchar, and Michael Blookburg, and the rest of the party establishment are definitively further right than Tulsi Gabbard on almost every issue, especially issues regarding foreign policy, the economy, and social welfare.
If you think the Democrats are left wing you are fooling yourself and are in serious need of a basic poli sci class. Clinton ended the welfare state and Obama was an immigration and foreign policy hawk. Even the Affordable Care Act is an essentially conservative policy that would likely have been proposed and passed by a GOP McCain government under a different name. Republicans needed something to rally against, so they spent years convincing themselves that a very conservative insurance mandate plan was "socialist" only to find they couldn't come up with anything better in 2017. When it comes down to it, Dems and Reps are both fairly right wing corporate liberal parties who are only really distinguished by their opinion on gay people, Muslims, and abortions, issues that corporations are incidentally inclined not to give a shit about.
@Daniel Kemp so you obviously aren't paying any attention. the ALL raised their hand for giving healthcare to illegal Immigrants. Right there they are too far gone. Bernie is a self-confessed socialist, Biden presents as a moderate but he's playing the Identitarian when he's in front of the right crowd (also outright lies about his involvement in Civil rights protests, trying to match Bernie who was very much involved).
Warren AND Sanders are pushing hard for Medicare for all (socialized health care).
All are talking about abolishing ICE, as if all they do is chase down illegals all day (hint, they do far more than that). All of them are in favor of reparations.
Yang has his IBU or "Freedom dividend) which is just a walfare program to the tune of 114-350 BILLION a month (depending on whos eligible for the $1,000 a month)
I could keep going back i doubt you'll even see this and I've made enough points.
@Peter Carioscia and you failed to answer my question. What political compass are you using to judge this? Going by pretty much all of modern politics outside of the last 3 decades in the US exclusively, none of the candidates are extremely far left. Bernie would be a bit left of moderate in most European countries and (mostly) a moderate in 40s and 50s America, outside of social issues that are pretty pointless to compare with the past.
@Peter Carioscia I can't even attempt to have a serious conversation with you if you unironically think Joe Biden is a "social Marxist," a Marxist of any sort, or really anything other than a strong proponent of capitalism. Stop locking yourself in an echo chambers and letting yourself be distracted by meaningless social issues. Go outside, talk to some actual, self-described Marxists and socialists. You'll find none of us support Joe Biden, and we're probably more likely to support Tulsi over anyone besides Bernie (and most of us dont even consider Bernie to be a Marxist or a "real socialist"). Long story short, "open border identarians" have nothing to socialism or Marxism, corporate Democrats definitely have nothing to do with Marxism, and you'd do well to do some research before you call people who stand and clap when Trump says "America will never be socialist" Marxists.
P.S. Marxism isn't some nebulous social ideology supporting gay rights and immigrants, anyone can support that stuff (which is why corporate candidates "play radical" by only focusing on those issues). Marxism is a developed and specific critique of capitalism which advocates for the popular overthrow thereof, and advocates other things such as mass democracy and worker ownership over the means of production. If someone supports capitalism in any way (i.e. is corporate and espouses pro-corporate policies), they BY DEFINITION cannot be Marxist. You seem like you're pretty sure that you're right, but I implore you, PLEASE, if nothing else, look up the definitions of these words you're using before using them. Maybe watch a couple videos from unbiased sources explaining these terms. You dont have to agree with any given ideology, but you should at least try to understand what it is you're talking about.
@Peter Carioscia I'll just add on that Bloomberg is the definition of a capitalist. Like literally, he owns capital and grows rich off of it. That's what being a capitalist is, by definition. He's a pretty big capitalist too with billions under his belt and the ability to essentially buy relevance in a supposedly democratic contest. If you think he supports socialism, I have to ask you what you think socialism means and what you think Bloomberg actually stands for, because I think you might be gravely mistaken as to both.
@Peter Carioscia Trump is close to the old democrat party, because hilarious he's LESS extreme than the old republican party.
The new democrat party is more in line with Europe's left rather than the old american left, which, on the political compass, was still pretty much right.
Obama was conservative by most standards. Hillary was too, honestly. Trump's a little farther on the conservative scale, he's just enough of an asshole that it sets everyone off.

I don't agree with Trump on averything myself but I can appreciate him for trying to give Americans more job opportunities for example.
I am a centrist on the political spectrum but a little more on the conservative side. I try to listen to both sides and stay open minded. I just wish more people could be open minded and try to reason instead of yelling at each other and name calling.
I think people like jimmy kimmel just alienate the majority of the country that voted for him like why do they just make fun of republicans dems do stupid stuff too. Very out of touch.

@Rekt_Yer_Nan_Darding _ majority of the country did not vote for Trump. About 25% of voting age people did.
Alex Rogers that is subjective and biased and is not inclusive comedy. Sure it’s ok to laugh at our politics but not scape goat like this.

@Rekt_Yer_Nan_Darding _ I agree that it'd be better if Kimmel poked fun at liberals. It's no more biased than something like fox news though. It's genuinely hard to take Republicans seriously when you've got senators from Arkansas saying that women's bodies have a way to "shut down" rape. When you've got Republican politicians pushing to continue the drug war when there's hard medical data that suggests decriminalization is the best route. And course this farce that the pro life camp actually cares about children. They're pro birth. If they were pro-life they'd be in favor of properly funding foster homes of increasing child welfare programs but they're not
@Daniel Kemp All the factory and business jobs he's been trying to give people. From what I know he's only accomplish half of that so far as only 60% of American jobs have increased in terms of American workers but it's better than the 20% according to statistics from not too long ago. Trump still has a long way to go on his goal to give Americans more job opportunities.
@Mary Moon job growth has actively slowed under Trump and unemployment trends are a continuation of those that have been happening since 2010. What specific policies/actions has Trump done to give more Americans jobs that have succeeded more than previous presidents?
Just because he claims that as his goal does not mean it's been accomplished.

@Mary Moon I understood your meaning completely. I was trying to get the point across that intent hardly matters if the actions it drives are ineffective, as well as that Trump has tried to claim credit for economic and employment trends that have nothing to do with his actions and don't actually help most Americans.
I don't like Kimmel either and I'm not a fan of laugh tracks, but these "remove the laugh track" videos don't make much sense. You're removing an integral part of the show and then wonder why it's so much worse.
@Sam T but if you need to trigger a pack mentality emotional response to make people laugh at your jokes, and said trigger is a very important part of the show, then you know that your jokes aren’t that good.
@Pun Goblin all comedians use audiences in tv shows because part of comedy is coming together as a community. Laugh tracks are a way to simulate that. They're bad in live shows but if there''s no live shows like now, it makes sense to add a laugh track for the audience to enjoy it more.
@Thinks Nothing What I mean to say is that it’s okay to use laugh tracks (especially now) in moderation, but there becomes a certain point where the jokes aren’t that funny when you take out the laugh track. I know the comment was a little misleading, but I still do want the laugh track to be used, just not every single second.
@Skyler, There's Rot! It's an audience that laugh because "Laugh now" sign comes on. A friend of mine got to go a while back and they paused recording because he wasn't applauding/clapping/laughing
@Sam T We are social animals if somebody coughs we cough. So if somebody laughs we also laugh, it is a cheap que to say "this is where you are suppose to laugh."
I agree but with one massive exception. His participation in the film / world’s greatest prank “Windy City Heat” was essential for making it succeed on the massive scale that it did. Without his connections it never would have been elevated to the level its on. You have to see it to believe it. It’s probably worth a video, but maybe not, because it’s technically “old” media but literally no one ever saw it. It stayed an underground hit, even to this day.
Anyone reading this, PLEASE treat yourself and watch Windy City Heat. a prank 20 years in the making. its insane. kimmel is only in it for like 2 minutes so don’t let that stop you.
*sits down old wood rocking chair on porch *looks into sunset in the distance *reaches into the cooler to grab a can of bud light *opens can with crack *takes looooong sip speaks:"Libtard"
@Benjamin Boston Hey, that's the kinda stuff Kimmel wants to talk about, so why not use it again him?
Also, the jump from "One political side has only smart people, and the other political side is exclusively dumb people" to "DAE Trump?" is far smaller than some of the leaps Kimmel likes to take.

No, a corrupt Electoral College that voted against the popular vote got Trump into the Oval Office. If Trump won the popular vote, I'd agree with you, but he didn't.
@raspymorten That's not what got him elected, it's because people thought they were voting for some working class, blue collar average Joe and not a wealthy, overly privileged wanna be mob boss that also was able to gaslight ignorant, and bigoted people that he himself wasn't a bigot. He made sure that it was all a circus act, a program for his audience. He also won because of the bullshit electoral college system, he won because the system was built in his and people like his advantage for a long time.
@GamingMint Ah yes, because I'm sure you know all about communism. If you're a patriot of the US and think it's wonderful, then I'm guessing you've never heard of the word "propaganda". I know, many Caucasians don't know what propaganda means so no need to be embarrassed by your ignorance.
@Remy Kahn I don't agree with GamingMint's comment but you have to be aware that left wingers are also using propaganda to gaslight their base. And that was kinda bold of you to assume that he was a Caucasian when there is literally no evidence to suggest this.
I guess the point that I am trying to make is that it just blows my mind how both sides just have everyone regurgitating the same BS and everyone just assumes that you either COMPLETELY agree with one side or the other, when in fact it is possible to be a liberal in one area and conservative in another. I for example am more of a Social Liberal because I believe that people should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin , gender, or sexuality. On the other hand I lean more Conservative when it comes to foreign policy and the economy.
Point is I am at least thinking for my self and respecting the fact that someone may have a separate opinion from mine and not trying to project them as an idiot or in your case a stupid white. White people have just as much a say as everyone else.
@Remy Kahn Umm... everyone knew he was wealthy. People aren't as dumb as people here like to believe, but a lack of faith in your fellow man is pretty common.
@Remy Kahn Why are you racist against Caucasian people? Also, do you know what that means specifically?
Wait, nevermind, you just mean white people. You don't really get to use big words like that when your mind clearly hasn't developed enough to get beyond racist nonsense.
I was talking to this girl i was starting to date, we got talking about facts n stuff. And she said she was a democrat and i was in my mind having an intellectual conversation expressing facts and ideas and she took it personal and started to be less open. She then went to say everyone else she knows that went to college and is really smart is a democrat and tried to use that as a standpoint of why her ideological ideas was the right way to think. I expressed my concern and stated that i wasn't being political or biased. I suggested she look it up and see for herself. She didn't take it well. Then i removed my hand from the back of her soft head as she stopped flailing from the toilet bowl water filling her lungs :) if they are so smart then why can't the see reality instead of living in ideological fantasy. It would be nice if everything was perfect. I mean hell mainstream media movies. Have been having issues with a type of insurgency since the thirties
@captain memelord The actions of a few? You mean the many, many families that inherited slaves, inherited stolen wealth and resources, and still benefit off of the backs of people's labors and still massively incarcirate black people in their private prisons? The few as in those hordes of neo nazis who were protesting the removal of statues that were literally only propped up to piss off black people? The few as in the KKK who were and still are in the police? The few as in the CIA, The FBI, and every other govenment body spying and plotting assassinations of civil rights activists? The few as in the congress that approved crime bills specifically meant to hurt minority communities? Which "few" are you talking about?
Remy Kahn ok, let’s talk about Nazis. They were Socialists Nationalists who wanted to defund the police so their SS Brown Shirts could do whatever and skip due process. I’d say that their nationalists views are closer to modern globalists though, and they also weren’t fans of private gun ownership, that allows people to rebel. As for the KKK, they were started by the Dems as a way to destabilize race relations, while also implementing Jim Crow laws. The FBI spied on Trump for Obama after he left office, they’re a left leaning entity, the CIA is no better. Either way both sides have used the CIA and FBI for shady shit, so it’s a pointless point to make. We don’t want history being torn down, especially when it’s democrat history they’re not too proud of. Go after a statue of Lenin or Marx, people who aren’t even American history, and the left loses their shit. Then you have General Lee, someone who was against slavery and seceding the Union, but sided with the Confederacy because of his loyalty to Virginia.
Yeah. As a liberal I will say that the huge problem we had in 2016 was calling everyone we disagreed with a far-right neo-nazi white supremacist instead of trying to convince them why Clinton would be a better option.
@Master of Disguise Agreed. Too many people foccus on the huge groups of negatives because they stand out more. Its like how republicans think liberals want to ban guns. Despite living in ohio most the people i know are liberals, and while most of them support gun control reform, not a single one of them believes guns should be banned. Same goes for my liberal online friends as well. Negatives stand out more than positives.
@Slender Man 186 lmfao the current movement to defund the police is not at all equivalent to replacing the current police force with secret police. What an amazing stretch. And Democrats are total ghouls, but maybe research the southern strategy. Contemporary right wing politicians like Steve King have ties to neo nazis and white nationalists nowadays. Also, the nazis fucking hated communists and socialists and considered them political enemies. Open a goddamn history book ffs
@Kafka779 I’m well aware of both establishment Democrats and Republicans being corrupt. Frankly they’re about as real as the WWE, they’ll fight up on stage and then after the show is over go get drinks together. What you’re wrong about is the BLM movement, two out of their three founders have referred to themselves as trained Marxists, and the police that they’re supposedly against have been told to stand down by governors and mayors. They’re not entirely trying to get rid of and replace the police, they’re just trying to remold them into a tool to be used against the public, like the FBI already are. The Nazis hated competition, socialism in all of it’s forms has been used to seize power. The Soviet Union was competition, Hitler wasn’t going to allow there to be another mad man like himself trying to take over the world. The whole spiel about “giving the people the means of production” is a load of crap, they call those who buy into that “useful idiots” for a reason.
@Benjamin Boston But that was literally his strategy. He took the anti-"High IQ to into politics" approach and made it understandable to people whom both parties, the media, and cultural "experts" have accused of being "deplorable". So yes. Orange man dumb. Intentionally to attract more votes. At this point its not an attack on his character, but rather a compliment to his strategy that worked exceedingly well to the point of Biden (a literal dummy) winning based on the dangerous oversimplification of "the good Blacks good, trump blacks bad" trope.
@Cups n Lantern Another attitude that inspired Trump to be in the office and another attiude that inspired the Capitol Seige. It's like you don't see how being really smug and dehumanizing people (all walks of life) is creating violence right now.
Well, it's true. Academia and science have a "liberal bias". Statistically, you're much more likely to be on the left if you're college educated. Conservative M/O is to be anti science and to not trust academia lol. Climate change and pandemics come to mind.
@FederalPhoenix Yeah, Trump supporters are known to show up to BLM protests. Guess you never heard about the Capitol Insurrectionist that texted his GF that he was pretending to be Antifa so he could "get away with anything"? Or the several testimonies of people arrested stating they were there because the president told them to be there?
But hey, the media you consume says it's fake news... So whatever they say, right?

@FederalPhoenix They're two sides of the same coin. The only difference between DNC and the GOP is the velocity their knees hit the floor when a billionaire walks through the door. A lot of money is spent shaping "public opinion" keeping the masses fighting each other like this.
@RemixedVoice so realizing that most volcanic eruptions release more CO2 into the atmosphere than the human race has in it’s entire existence, is somehow anti-science? Fear mongering a virus with a 99.5 survival rate like a bunch of germaphobes, taxing all of the problems away and “trusting in science,” like it’s some kind of religion, that’s what we’re considering good science now? You can find a paper to back up literally any stance, do the research yourself, read the peer reviews, come to your own conclusions. Climatologists and Geologists have already proven that the Global warming/Global cooling/climate change narrative that’s been pushed for decades is just a myth, fear p0rn for money. And yes, same goes for the “pandemic,” even though it doesn’t even meet the CDC guidelines of a pandemic. Science is a method, not a religion you blindly trust in.
I get that this is a more conservative person making this and I’m definitely more leftist, but absolutely not liberal because yeah liberals are ridiculous and dangerous in their complacency to upkeep the status quo.
Deku Scrublord bad thing nobody listens to him because he just takes his time to explain the problem and most people have the attention span of a goldfish
Yay, I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who considers him insufferable... I remember seeing him for the first time on The Man Show, when basically nobody had heard of him yet, and all I could think was: Wow, this guy has found a way to capitalize on having the most punchably smug-looking face possible
@Ryan Sharp I really couldn’t care less, he’s still funny, and more importantly, he’s real. The emotions he shows on stage are authentic. Also he doesn’t bring political talking points into his show because it’s a taking show, not an editorial.
@Ryan Sharp and why were we disagreeing before? We both believe these commies are trying to take over. I'm not a republican st all. I am a trump supporter for the most part. He exposed the media and the left wing. I love it
@Ryan Sharp Yeah I like his sketches and remotes much more. He is also really funny on his podcasts and College/other speeches. Conan even admitted he hated talking to boring people on his talk show to fill up time that he cut down on how long it is.
Conan O’Brien comes up with original material, unlike most talk show hosts. I think many of his skits are very funny, like the ones with Kevin hart and ice cube. He is much better because he does not really talk about politics. When you start getting political it get less funny, and you might lose lots of viewers. This is why Jimmy kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and more are so terrible and not funny. These hosts are all super liberal, but it doesn’t matter which side you argue, you should try to avoid politics on a talk show.
@DemoCrack he's only planning on an assault weapons ban. also, he's a neoliberal. not every democrat is a commie, that's like saying everyone remotely republican is a racist. now you may be like "but i didn't say every democrat is a commie!". well, if he's a commie then most democrats would be commies. now go take a shower, because it doesn't seem like you've taken one in months.
I remember when Bill Burr was getting choked up to the point he couldn't continue talking about Patrice O'Neal while on Conan's show and Conan took over and did the talking about what Bill was trying to say. Literally any other host would've put Bill on the spot and let him cry talking about it to milk the emotions for views. For that, I'm always gonna like Conan.
@mr bwead conservatives hate his guts cause they think he's unfunny ( which isn't entirely wrong). Personally I like the guy's standup exponentially more than his daily show
@WAYCNF you fool ha. Fully automatic is banned besides for people with special backgrounds. Been that way for a long time. Gun crime will always exist, making laws does nothing. Quit infringing the Second Amendment.
@Dyck Hurtz the second amendment is super vague, and it says that guns are there in case of a militia. and saying making laws does nothing? you really sure? that's like saying making treatment for sicknesses does nothing.
as for fully automatic being banned, if it is already banned besides for special backgrounds then that was my mistake. but i still stand beside my claims.
@Dyck Hurtz Change nothing? Alright. Show me credible stats. Also, the founding fathers were okay with their original constitution being changed to fit recent times. They would probably be okay with us changing the second amendment to fit today. If you actually read the second amendment, you'd see that it has not aged well. It was written in case of a militia being needed due to the USA being newborn at the time. As years go by the need for a militia depleted.
That was the sole cause of having guns. And while I think it's okay to own guns, they are weapons and common sense gun laws need to be put in place. You don't want to put guns in the hands of a distraught teen who has a history of violence and a high risk of committing a shooting.
Jimmy kümmel is actually pretty good. People just don’t stand him now because he brings politics into everything but other than that he’s a funny dude, he’s got a funny side kick, funny ideas, and montages
@Ahmad zahrani But... that's not what they said? They CAN stand him, and they're saying that they cannot stand any others. It was an effective statement that is correct. By the way, no one cares about grammar in a Youtube comment. It just doesn't matter.
That's just a fact. Although their personalities are nothing alike, Conan and Letterman are hands down the two best late night hosts of my lifetime. Conan was very much influenced by Letterman and you can see it if you're familiar with how whacky Letterman's show was in the 80s and even into the 90s
@WAYCNF "that's like saying making treatment for sicknesses does nothing." wrong. that's like saying making robberies illegal hasn't stopped 13% of the population being responsible for 50% of the crimes.
@WAYCNF banned in Ronald Reagan administration. Also need is a very weird word. You can literally individually pick out guns like you would say food items like apples and say what do you need that particular one and suggest to ban it. Do you even understand the difference between any of them?
around the 16:00 minute mark when it is said that sexual assault is only a problem among the "higher-ups" in society is just plain false. Sexual assault happens to an alarming amount of women, and most often by people they trust closely. In fact, sexual assault done by people with societal power (celebrities and super rich people) probably only accounts for easily less than 25% of all assaults that happen. Tbh it's pretty ignorant to claim/think that sexual assault isn't a problem in "regular society", like obviously it probably happens at a higher rate because there are a lot more men who hold a large amount of power over other peoples' lives and thus those men can abuse that power easier, but the population of the world is 7 billion and there's no way that even 1% of the people on this earth fall under the previously mentioned category.
We have virtually no shootings in the UK. I cant remember the last time we had a mass shooting. It doesnt mean we have no violence but banning guns would stop a large amount of gun crime. Its not the only solution but it is one.
You cannot ban guns in the United States: there's too many of them in circulation already. There's more guns than people. Not to mention all of the unregistered firearms that would slip by.
Yeah banning guns outright is a no go. I'd like to see the industry regulations get a whole tighter, but it would fundamentally disagree with the second thing the people that thought up this country decided to write down. Coming from a Southern liberal who surely does enjoy owning my firearms.
@Benjamin Pryse I feel like every 4 or 8 years, the sides are going to switch roles. Now a good portion of Republicans are whining about Biden. Maybe in 4 years, the roles will switch again.
Oh it is nothing better than that. I see both sides every day because my parents are conservative and it feels like the only acceptable political view online is liberal, they both think ridiculous things about each other and the media might as well brainwash us into hating each other.
@Kurt E. Clothier you know it, it's all a bunch of horseshit. While federal politicians aren't necessarily controlled by lobbyists they're definitely influenced, it really goes to show how democracy since its inception has gone from for the people to for the corporations.
@Orcinus1967 no actual leftist blames everything on Trump those are neoliberals who don't understand anything about politics except what they see on snl
@AuroraVeil Even my father, 75, has said "What about Trump" when I brought up the disgusting political insiderism of Hunter Biden while Joe was VP. I know that "political insiderism is probably not a real term, but it's early and I've not finished my cup of coffee. I appreciate what you said and I don't totally disagree, and I'm not trying to start an argument. Thank you.
American politics consists of two parties campaigning around the fact that the other party is trying to kill you. The problem is nobody can agree which party is trying to kill you.
@Bibs P some bloke that mysteriously ended up as the head of the Ukrainian oil industry, after daddy Joe and uncle Obama overthrew the previous leader of the Ukraine and set up said oil industry.
Coffee is good. No questions before coffee! I think it's a slogan most of us can get behind. "Political Insiderism" is a fine term. Influence peddling also good. Your Non argument is accepted!. Now the Dems are going after Giuliani with the feds. I'm sure not a huge Trump or Giuliani fan. But it does make me wonder just WTF has happening to our government. PS don't ask your dad. I'm not bringing it up with mine.
@ashe🏳️🌈 bro, the democrats were joking about trump, the republicans tried to storm the capitol and kill your system. Thats like comparing apples to nuclear bombs
@ashe🏳️🌈 you said sides change every 4 to 8 years. And I wanted to add that they are incredibly different. One side makes too many jokes about the other president, the other side tries to kill the system
@Toori Baba That is most definitely not the case, in my experience. The vast majority of Liberals I've met love America, or at least are vaguely positive about it, and I doubt there's any liberals right of Communists who actively want to destroy the government.
@JGHifiversveiws Do you want to replace or disband the new government? People normally think that anarchists want there to be no government, but in my experience, that's not entirely true. What's your opinion on the president and the Republican and Democratic parties? Do you have an opinion on feminism and BLM? I dunno, stuff like that. I was just interested, because I'm not all that familiar with anarchism.
@mater tua I identify as a social anarchist and i'm sure there are more people on the internet who can do this topic more justice than I can but essentially, because I don't particularly identify with either of the schools of anarchism that fall under the umbrella of social anarchism but like most anarchists I believe in eliminating social stratification, class structures, and other forms of unjustified hierarchies but I don't think eliminating wage labor or the state in general is the best way to go about doing that with that being said I do think that the capitalist mode of ownership of the means of production is inherently flawed and I'm also opposed to the tyrannical profit motive especially when it corrupts moral actions. I could elaborate on that point a little bit more if you want? I'm not opposed to working with the government we have now, and that isn't to say I advocate for this system I actually really dislike it, mostly because it prioritizes the state, its affairs, and its "representatives", over the needs of its citizenry, the minimal transparency and oversight on behalf of that government and its faculties, the overall lack of political agency held by citizens outside the two parties, and the inherently convoluted nature of republican politics makes it all a massive headache to engage with especially for your average citizen. So no I don't advocate for this system at all. I'm not much of a fan of Trump or Biden but luckily for me I don't participate in presidential elections anyway, when it comes to local elections however I do tend to vote democrat. I actually participated in a BLM rally not too long ago, I'm also not much of a fan of modern feminism but maybe that's because I participate more so in the internet "manosphere" these days so there's that as well.
@JGHifiversveiws Ok, interesting. I agree with you on many points, though I don't consider myself a socialist, communist, anarchist, etc. I would also like to add that though I dislike a lot of the people that call themselves feminists, I still consider myself a feminist. My mum's a feminist and a social worker, and my dad's very vocal about both Native American issues (as he is a Native American) and black issues. I think that the less one understands an issue, the more they're likely to be aggressive about their views, and uninformed, unreasonable people are ever-present on both sides. It was interesting to hear your thoughts on the matter, as I am unfamiliar with anarchism. I can't think of any more questions, so good day.
@Jesus Christ I heard Biden's gonna make Yang secretary of Innovation and technology. Considering Yang's opinions on Big Tech selling our Data (the average person should get a cut of the data sold), I think it's legit.
@Doctor Culture Dude, he's not selling out, he's trying to work his way up the ladder. He got a Job in the Biden Administration, he's currently as a political commentator, he still does regular interviews and he started Humanity Forward.
TBH if anyone sold out in the DNC, it was Buttigieg, Klobuchar and Steyer who ditched the election at the last possible second. Literally the weekend before Super Tuesday.
Especially Buttigieg because he was going pretty well and possibly could've won Super Tuesday (or divide Biden's Voters and give Sanders a fighting chance.).
Toori Baba Well than you’re doing the exact same thing Jimmy Kimmel and people like him were critisized for in this video, just from a different political position...
Most people in the United States are liberal, but the word is used as a category of liberal instead as the ideology as a whole, I wish Americans would stop conflating liberals with diet commies and retarded anarchists, is that such a hard ask, and I agree with a few "Marxist" ideas, within a certain context.
We have bigger issues with I don't know, Coronavirus, Genocidial China, North Korea, Islamic Fundamentalists, African Turmoil, Arab Spring conflicts, Global Warming, Monopolies and Oligopolies, pollution, just south and south east Asia because most of them are fricked af.
@Captain Chair Agree. I personally am a "Classical Liberal" and to me, Liberal means one who strives for Liberty. I personally love Liberty and Freedom. The American "Liberals" are the antithesis of Liberalism. Progressivism is a more accurate term to describe the American "Liberals"
You mean be a "Liberal" as in Classical Liberalism? Or be a "Liberal" as in "Modern Leftist"? Because they're pretty much exact opposites lol; nothing really "liberal" about the group calling themselves "liberals" nowadays.
@mater tua that’s because in real life liberals are pretty sane but the ones on the internet where websites censor what people say about are completely and clinically insane, especially Twitter
@john O This. This is one of the most annoying things they do. I once had some people arguing my fake name disqualified me, but I showed them up when I told them to see my channel age. This channel is like 9 years old lol. I even told them that I had almost certainly been on here longer than them.
I usually just say "Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I'm a bot." It's a dismissal strategy they use all the time and I hate it.
What they don't realize is that none of that dismissal works in the voting booth. 👀
@bbtootall Liberal comes from the latin word Liber, meaning free. Liberal essentially means person who likes, or supports freedom. Progressive comes from Progress, which does not always mean freedom. In America, the two are interchangeable, but in a true neutral sense, Liberals and Progressives are different.
@Migaloo the issue with CHAZ really was that it was just a few city blocks. I’ll admit, the word “autonomous” in its name is doing some fucking leg work. They barely had any services due to the fact that they were such a small group relegated to a minuscule space. Anarchism similar to CHAZ functions best on a larger-scale, truly autonomous level.
REEEAAALLLYYY UH I WOULD NEVER KNOW, I THOUGHT SINCE HE SAID SOMETHING NEUTRAL ABOUT OUR PRESIDENT THEN HIS IS RACIST CONFEDERATE BAD MAN, UNLIKE US MEGA BRAIN LIBERALS WHO JUST KNOW WHAT IS RIGHT AND KNOW THAT THE OTHER SIDE HAS A WRONG OPINION, (this is sarcasm btw because one time i did something similar and everyone tried to murder me)
I've learned that the left hardly gets along with it's multiple adjacent factions. The right just learned to make the best of a situation and played the game better.
@Reima Cause the right, despite their often contradictory and conflicting interests (small govt/big military and police state, tax cuts for the rich/teardown of "elites"...) are all united in one thing: racism. The left wants the betterment of all society, so they agree on the end. When there is "leftist infighting", its due to disagreement on the means to reach that end. And in politics, means, not ideals, are everything.
@Midas tbh idek why you are arguing with me, same can go for kkk members, a lot of them vote for trump but does that mean all trumpers are kkk members? NO!
@Midas antifa is terrible what you talking bout also it is not liberal they just vote us, china ain't that bad: probably said that because he does not want to fight with china, and you ain't black: i cannot answer that because it was taken completely out of context.
i disagree with you still, but i am tired of arguing. Also, I respect you argued civically. I hope we can both agree in this age of the internet there is tons of snowflakes who will just scream at you to get cancelled, and there is tons of trumpers who can sometimes argue uncivilly, so when i see someone like you speak a fair argument against me i can't help but show full respect.
Are we actually entertaining the idea that any of the major corporate late night shows contain anything resembling humor? It's so sanitized it might as well be a medical ward.
I think you guys are misunderstanding the Kobe comment and taking it out of context, that’s being used to demonstrate the hypocrisy of insulting someone for sexually harassing people then bring in someone who has been accused of sexual harassment like it’s no big deal. Whether or not Kobe really did it, you need to understand the context used in this argument.
I feel like Emp did that more as a way of relating his wider claim that Kimmel was being hypocritical back to the specific example he gave. He was just saying that, in general, he worked in an industry with (and interviews) some people who have done questionable things, but then goes on to immediately complain about that specific issue with trump while he is surrounded with it in his work.
@TheKaiwind But still what. They get away with it because they can just pay enough money to avoid prison sentences. Almost all celebrities deserved to be locked up for one thing or another.
Oh look someone who thinks about things before immediately screaming about it. Junior jr. Idk who are but you make a really great point that so many missed.
It is quite fun to watch this video in 2022 after reading an article in The Economist regarding the multi-pronged, albeit flawed, effort by Transport Secretary Pete Buttigieg to have a crack at trying to address many of the issues that have blighted urban policies in the US, with the article underlining the fact that "Republicans" were "virtue-signalling" on the issue... The carousel just goes on and on.
It’s sad because I used to love Colbert, but Trump definitely ruined him and a lot of other political “commentators.” It’s so tiring hearing Trump every time you turn on one of these shows. It’s ridiculous how obsessive they are over him. They don’t realize they are just adding fuel to the fire for conservatives to support Trump even more.
Holy shit. I never thought he could be more condescending than he always is. The way he talked to Rosanne during that interview was baffling. Interesting too how he didn't have anything to say about foreign policy.
fml personally, I found Amy Schumer to be tolerable in her earlier days. Not great, but maybe a chuckle or two. It’s just the new Amy Schumer I found horrible. Dane Cook, I just found to always fall flat for me. In my mind, it’s someone who was barely afloat, then plummeted to the bottom versus someone who never went up up farther than a quarter of the way.
Any Schumacher: he is a sexist pig who doesn't want eat fat smelly pussy. I am least funniest comedian. My vagina is my comedy. Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
It's pretty sad how politics is handled today, especially considering I don't think these extremists represent the average American at all. Most everyone in the comments whether they consider themselves liberal or conservative seem to have a pretty level head on their shoulders and are closer to the center than most media outlets would like you to think. There's this "us vs them" mentality that paints the opposing party as your enemies. How can anything ever get done or anyone ever come to a compromise when you see your fellow American as an enemy rather than another citizen just like you? We don't all have to agree and we never will, but that was never the point in the first place, and trying to bully and harass people into agreeing or being quiet is wrong in so many ways.
I'm a conservative and I get the feeling that you and I might not agree on a lot of things, but I appreciate the fact that you seem like a pretty level headed guy. Today politics is far more about one upping the other side, than offering actual viable solutions. Maybe people should realize that people on the other side of the aisle are human, just like we are, but at this point it seems like that's asking too much.
My teacher voted for Hillary and he loves communism, Or at least the idea of it if it actually worked. He is one of those level headed guys, It’s almost amazing when you find Someone on the other side you can actually relate or get along with

My granddad always told me something that I will never forget, there are no bad guys in war, only soldiers. And thats something that I find very important. I may hate trump with a passion but can at least see that the republicans them selves are not bad and in fact in this day and age I can say that I highly respect bush and regan despite not agreeing with them. Why, because they truly cared about America.
Boon Goon I mostly respect Reagan for reunifying my homeland, reducing inflation, and cutting taxes to spur economic growth. Even though I disagreed with his views on the war on drugs and the Russian arms race.
As a progressive I couldn't agree with you more! Even on my side of the fence, it frustrates me to no end how much people focus on what's sensational instead of substance. We need to get back to talking about issues, not the mean tweet of the day.
Honestly, I just despise political correctness in pop-culture media. Example, if a character in a story originally has white skin, don’t distastefully force that character to now look like a minority if it brings no validated benefit.
As a leftist, I can certainly agree on that as well. And, humans are becoming the most major problem that ALMOST NO-ONE is actually realizing at that point.
@P N my old 5th grade teacher also voted for Hillary but he would make horrible jokes about trump and stop class just to talk about politics that didn't matter. He was an npc that would stop class just to say Orange man bad
I mean if you watch the video he bashes the other side just as much. This is why it's an embarrassment to be an American at this point people need to pick sides and bash the side that doesn't agree with their views.
@G I might also agree on that, I hate to say this, but, I might need not just to go further into the left, but also point out the deceit or hatred of the left, by the left as well. Anyone who says I can't do that, will then realize that I can.
this is good criticism of Kimmel and American entertainment overall, but the political points fall short in my eyes. It feels like they weren't really researched at all and you kinda just went with what sounded like it could be true.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Jimmy Kimmel Live. It's humor is very political subtle and takes a grasp at Trump theoretical physics.
just for the record, whether the majority of men sexually assault women is irrelevant to which gender sexually assaults more, which is what would make it a men’s or women’s issue.
I thought I had found new respect for Fallon since he didnt join the "Orange Man Bad" parade at first. But it seems that he jumped on the bandwagon. Shame on Fallon. Shame on all of the Late nigh hosts. Shame on the ppl of America too for having so much hatred that prevents us coming together as a country and doing the best we can. Roseanne had the right idea. Kimmel on the other hand, who doesnt know shit about politics simply retorts with a generic "orange man bad durrr" statement.
Fallon always reminded me of early seth McFarlane. They both might have corny or just sometimes not as funny jokes as their competition but you can tell they put their heart into their work and it has a charm to it which you can respect them for and even get a good chuckle out of
@Elway Dogg are you serious? "Bullying" come on now the most powerful man in the world can't be bullied. Fallon makes jokes about an orange man who is a walking joke. People do not have to look far to find joke material in his presidency.
@Elway Dogg your emotional rant did not provide a single reason why that is "bullying". I'm assuming you know nothing about public figures but they are people who put themselves in front of millions of people, and in this case control their lives. Trump is getting criticized. If he were a kid on the playground then he would be bullied.
@Elway Dogg they aren't ruining anyone's life. They are just making unfunny jokes about the president and you're having a hissy fit for some reason. Look away if you're a triggered snowflake
I thought this was about bullying not about the parties. That just shows just how partisan you are being. I wonder if you'd flip out after seeing Fox "bully" Obama. Do you think calling Obama a "Muslim terrorist" or "Dempanzee" is something to be proud of?
@The King Don't let me ruin Mitt Romney for ya but he said in one of the 2012 debates that he agrees with most of Obama's leadership, but he had a problem with how he implemented changes and his middle eastern dealings. So unless Romney was secretly a big scary commie, Obama really wasn't what he was called
@Biggy Iron I did not noticed you said Fox, I thought we are talking about late night host, this is my lost.
Ps. I know you were not talking about me, but I don't get trigger by Fox shitting on Obama or every other mainstream media shitting on Trump because I already know what I am getting into by watching them.
And I'm not really "triggered" by entertainment like sports, night shows etc shitting on Trump, it just gets very tiresome how often and one-sided it is, I just want to watch freaking sports and comedy, but they have already achieved their goal by now, so hopefully entertainment will go back to being entertainment from now on.
@The King I have a feeling you're bothered more when It's Trump being insulted but ok.
The entertainment industry has recognized that negativity brings in the most viewers. They've also recognized that telling people what they want to hear is more popular than an honest conversation. That especially goes for Fox and many conservatives on YouTube
@Biggy Iron Exactly. Obama, no matter what anyone says, was always just a likable, charismatic, respectable person. So, there is a reason why no one really shits on him.
The problem is that micro aggressions and representation in media are actual problems in society but not being nuanced about it and not addressing how some people may say there are bigger problems, and that there are, and also talking about those, but saying: “we can talk and care about many things” like many leftist and philosophical youtubers do, that is actually forward movement with our thought and ideas in society, but when you have no nuance yeah I do think it comes off as ridiculous and divisive to a lot of people and it kind of is when you’re not addressing how the patriarchy and white supremacy uphold capitalism because you don’t wanna upset your corporate sponsors.
Bandwagoning, bashing people who disagree with you, and oversimplification is what the radical left does. We already know what the radical right does (though media always bashes them, at this point people use "far right" and "spawn of satan" interchangeably). I am slightly more left leaning, but a lack of discussion is so hurtful for politics. People don't think anymore, it's just always "my idea is good, therefore yours is bad. Every little disagreement with my idea means that you are evil." You have the far left advocating for "equality', while the far right advocates for "freedom." I'm not saying "let's all just get along," I'm just saying "let's not let ourselves get trapped in echo chambers and confirmation bias."
I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion and am happy to receive criticism. All for the better. Please directly engage with what I said, though. If you want to bash me, show me why I am wrong, please. I want to be shown. I want to hear what you people think. I'm just very sad that everybody seems to have already decided on a fixed side. There is a SPECTRUM. Just because I lean left a bit, doesn't mean I think every policy the liberals implement is good. In fact, I agree with conservatives more than liberals sometimes. Everybody seems to be stuck in a "my side is the best" mania that has made all sane people scared to say anything in fear of getting cancelled.
Anyways, I think extremism is irrational, but that doesn't mean we should discount the people's opinions. There is a fundamental idea that may be valid, and is the reason they support something. Discussion is what is needed, civilized discussion. Could we please have debates instead of yelling matches? Debates where you actually consider the other side and try to prove them wrong instead of repeatedly and forcefully restating your own ideas?
Now I'll sit back and wait for replies, if anyone ever sees this.
It was actually shocking. Like, idk how anyone in America could disagree with what she said. It's the whole point of our democracy. If you don't like this result, there is always the next time, so meanwhile we should all try to make it work together the best we can. Where is the joke???
You guys know that emplemon put a cut between her saying “get out and vote, change it if you don’t like it” and kimmel saying “you’re expressing your opinions as crazy as they may be”, right? Meaning that he deliberately edited away the context of Kimmels comment to make him look bad. Emplemon Manipulated quite a few people based on how many comments there are about the Roseanne clip.
In the actual interview kimmels response to her saying “get out and vote, change it if you don’t like it” was “that’s very good. I mean you can’t argue with that”
So the last thing emplemon shows in this video is that he’s willing to be a lying manipulative hack and shines a spotlight on a lot of suckers in his viewing audience.
The only late night hosts I like are John Oliver when he does deep dive into neutral topics like internet in USA etc. Regarding gun violence - there are 0 gun deaths before 1364. Banning them will solve most of the issue. Things worth doing are worth doing poorly.
🤔 Yeah, yeah. True. We did complain an awful lot about it. But we didn't arm ourselves and literally attempt to overthrow democracy itself on January 6th.
This video aged terribly. But I can agree with the sentiment of tribalism and hatred growing between two political parties that tears a nation apart.
I say that the two party system should be dismantled but there is no way a group of people will disperse power like that. We live in a country separated by two bureaucracies.
7:55 oh ye I used to enjoy the Colbert Report but when he started talking straight on the Late Show I yeeted out of there. Satire is great in small doses and I had an unhealthy fanaticism for the Colbert Report.
Amazing how a person who made silly youtube poops for laughs is now one of the most reasonable and intelligent voices on this platform. Unfortunately the average youtube user doesn't care for 30 minutes of well-edited content
OH DEAR GOD. I'm 20 mins in and didn't realize until now Jimmy Fallon and this guy are different people. I've only ever seen ads for Kimmel and thought it was Fallon. Never even watched Kimmel.
Oh my god... This video is absolutely amazing. It sums up everything I hate about how our society behaves. I've had trouble myself exactly identifying what I loath so much about society, and this is just perfect. I truly respect you as a Content Creator AND as a human being. This is just so well crafted.
Yeah, I agree. I'm a leftist myself, but I can confidently say that Emp is so much more cohesive, intelligent, and intellectually honest than Steven Crowder can ever be.
@Aiden Hey there fellow stranger! I'd be glad to respond to your question.
Firstly, I would like to preface this with the history of the state of the left. In the broader span of leftism, I think it's currently in its strongest state than it has been in the past century. Around the beginning of the 20th Century, unions led by socialists were pushed and therefore granted a lot of labor rights for workers. Eventually, corporations began to push back as well, which included banning strikes and unions, and hiring police to kill protesters that wanted higher wages. Eventually we outlawed that, thankfully, but comparing the state of socialist ideals and acceptance to a century ago, people are far more open to them. Post Soviet Russia, the United States was very unwilling and shut off to leftist ideas as the Red Scare had propagandized many to be afraid of communism, which led to to the broad public opinion that leftism as a whole is equivalent to Stalin's rule of the USSR, which is completely untrue obviously. I personally am an anarchist, which essentially means I am for abolishing all unjust hierarchy, which means I am a firm believer in trade unions, worker's rights, and social and economic rights. I am a firm leftist in most areas, including some controversial topics, such as abortion rights, guaranteed medical coverage for every U.S. citizen, against partisan lobbying and gerrymandering, and in general wanting a more progressive and accepting society. However, I am a firm believer in the 2nd amendment. Obviously I want more firearm regulation, but I believe completely outlawing them is not the solution. I do not identify as a social justice warrior or a feminist, as that term has been hijacked by Liberals and has been poisoned by people who think they know what they're talking about, when in reality, these types of people actually tend to land in the center of the political spectrum, and are not leftists, Marxists, or anything aligning with such ideology.
So in general, leftism as an ideology among our society I believe is in a resurgence, while leftism as in policy and congressional action, as well as socially, has taken a huge hit, especially when the Trump administration took over the reigns of the oval office. In turn, this creates a stronger movement of solidarity and support as people are beginning to realize why these leftist ideas are being generally suppressed in our current federal government. People in general have become more anti-corporation and more pro-worker. Donald Trump has highlighted just how huge bigoted, hateful groups in the United States have become, I believe shown most in the Charlottesville/Unite the Right rally. In general, things have become much more polarized over the past couple of decades. And while I'm not saying that the right is all that is bad and the left is all that is good, most social conveniences and rights have been granted through the endless fighting of social and leftist movements such as the Civil Rights Movement, led by famous socialist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I recommend watching a video by Shaun, titled "The Fate of the Frog Men," in which he details how Trump manipulated a lot of white supremacists to get to where he is, and how he has abandoned them. It's a good explanation of the POTUS's rise to power, and what we can learn from it.
The left has only gotten stronger, but in return the right has also gotten stronger. Which one will come out on top is only a matter of time, as political affairs will only become more and more controversial, and people will begin to realize what is going on around them, and they will be mad. Trust me, they will be mad. Whether they go the path of radical leftism, where people believe that capitalism, the erosion of worker rights, and corporations are the main cause of a lot of societal problems, or they go the route of the radical right where the issue is LGBT people, minorities, or immigrants ruining western culture, is only up to those advocating for them, and how sound their arguments are, however rational or irrational they may be.
One thing is for sure though; big things will come in the next few years, and it will not be pretty.
@Outlaw Donut thank you for your input, interesting analysation. How about the ideas that many so called radical leftists hold, such as the theory of white privilege, hate speech laws, and many more mainstream ideas that have been pushed in recent years. Are you in favor of any of those? What opinions do you hold of groups such as Antifa and the like.
@t e o h Thanks for the reply! I'd like to get started on this one because this will be hefty.
Firstly, I'd like to touch on white privilege.
There are a lot of misconceptions about white privilege. I am not in favor of violence against those of white skin, or any skin for that matter. That is simply a hate crime. What me and a lot of leftists are promoting is the idea that institutional barriers exist that are not visible to most observers, but most people of color experience, knowingly or not. There is no law that states that people of color are inferior and should be treated as such. Rather, there are very minute advantages that whites have over colored people, and compounded, this begins to build up, which systemically makes life for those of color, in general, to be much more difficult. Over policing in black neighborhoods tend to lead to more crime being found, drugs being planted to meet arrest quotas, and more. This leads to a loss of fathers especially in black communities. This can lead to youth issues, such as a single-parent household that can barely make ends meet, which actively hurts a child and their future mental and financial stability, making them stay poor. This poverty is in near direct correlation with the rise of violence, which is born out of the poverty which is perpetuated in these neighborhoods. The violence leads to more crime, which leads to more over policing, and the cycle starts over. This vicious cycle is what has held back minority communities for so long. It is sometimes prevalent in white neighborhoods, I will not deny that, but they are much more common in minority neighborhoods and cities. Not to mention the prison-industrial complex, and the treatment of inmates in this country, whose prisons focus on punishment and not rehabilitation. This leads to a higher rate of recidivism, which then further perpetuates the prison-industrial complex, which is incentivized to imprison as many people as possible. This is an issue that almost exclusively destroys communities of non-white citizens. It is, however, a problem that does affect all of us.
Secondly, hate speech laws
This is a very scary line for me. On one hand, I am very much in favor of free speech. I believe it is one of our most powerful abilities as human beings; to speak and trade ideas freely with no intervention, which leads to innovation and progress. However, I also recognize that in order for free speech to exist, we must suppress speech that actively harms free speech. It's sort of a paradox. True free speech is self-destructive, while some speech must be regulated in order for free speech to exist. Without regulation, one can manipulate free speech and use it for harmful agendas. They can use free speech to destroy free speech. It's a very complicated subject that I personally believe am not educated enough to take a solid take on, but if we're discussing free speech laws that ban overt harassment or hatred, I'm for it anyday now. I personally believe hateful speech is all a matter of context. For example, I genuinely don't think a white person saying the n-word is racist. If it is used to demean someone or is used in negative light, then obviously there will be issues, but it is completely about context here that matters. Calling your buddy the n-word, and them being completely fine with it, is not racist.
Thirdly, and finally, the Anti-Fascist Action movement
Being an anarchist, these people are in my political quadrant. At first, I did not approve of them. In fact, I denounced them altogether. And, even though I have not radicalized myself, so to speak, even further than when I used to believe this, I actually believe that they are not harmful.
Let me explain, because I know this might sound irrational to most people who have seen a couple dozen videos of antifa 'members' attacking people with fists or bats, which gives off a very bad impression.
I know there's a very famous quote saying that the anti-fascists are the real fascists, or the fake Winston Churchill quote of "The fascists of the future will call themselves antifascists." However, there's a very good Philosophy Tube video on Antifa philosophy that I recommend you check out, because it perfectly describes my opinion of Antifa.
But if you want a more stats-based view on Antifa, out of the 50 politically-extremist murders in the United States that occurred in 2018, the overwhelming majority were perpetrated by radical white supremacists, tolling in at 78%. Including other right wing motivated murders, that number jumps to a whopping 98%. The other two percent is from Domestic Islamist Extremism.
Which essentially means 0% were from leftist organizations.
And if you don't want to look at a single year and take a leap of faith with that and assume all is good with the left, a report by the ADL shows that the crushing majority of domestic terrorism in the United States between 2008-2017 were committed by right wing terrorist groups, with a very small minority composed of left wing and Islamist groups.
There are obviously outliers. Antifa, as it is not a solid organization or group, but rather a rag-tag group of anarchist individuals, can have some bad apples here and there. But painting the entire ideology as such is, I believe, intellectually dishonest and harmful to the public discourse.
I hope this answers all your questions! I appreciate the open-mindedness discussion that you are perpetuating here. I don't get that too often from those on the opposite side of the political spectrum, so it's a very appreciated breath of fresh air :D
@Outlaw Donut thanks for taking the time to answer, and although we may disagree, I'm glad there are still rational people on the opposing side. I personally am very afraid of these people, espicially those consumed by race. I'm not white, but my boyfriend is (yes I'm gay). I believe the way many progressives push for the whole anti-white thing is damaging their movement more than it helps and it scares alot of white people. I'm also not really in favor of the LGBT movement as it currently stands, they've become more of glorified fetish orgy, I just don't feel represented by them. I say I'm from the opposing side because the events that have taken place over the past 3 years has pushed me and many others further away from the recent spike in progressive ideals. I agree that both sides will always have hyper radicals. And I'm sure antifa have people who have good intentions, but I guess calling anyone a fascist is kinda counter productive. I was called on not to long ago for agreeing with stances people deem "fascist".
I'm in many so called "right wing" groups, and conservative groups, but I've never felt like an outcast and they treat me well, so I guess it really changed my opinion since the media really likes to target alot of these groups. In the end, I believe both sides have something to bring to the table, that's why I always push for balance in politics. So I always come in open minded. Thanks for taking the time to answer, I always ask people with different opinions and the same opinions as I do on why they believe the way they do. Thanks again.
I would also just like to add that I know that not everyone is anti-white, but they are the loudest voice at times. So I guess it's become very difficult to not be afraid. My boyfriend is apolitical, he hasn't been exposed to any of this until recent and he always asks me what's wrong with being white. There were people on Twitter getting mad at some people for making their characters black in animal crossing. It's really stupid. But it really changed how people view the movement. So I guess it's been very hard to find reason in the progressive movement recently.
@Aiden Yeah, I agree. Most progressives I know denounce those who hate on white people, because hating a huge majority of the population isn't progressive; it's regressive. Yeah, in the United States, those of lighter skin tend to have a higher quality of life than most minorities (note I say most, not all), but that doesn't mean race is the problem. Rather, it is the issue of historical oppression that whites today have nothing to do with. It's a shame that your significant other has had to experience that part of politics, because I know firsthand that it is very toxic and not good for public discourse. I hope all is well, and I'm glad that you're making an effort to educate yourself, no matter where you land in the political spectrum.
I’m a leftist too and the only anti trump guy I can watch is Bill Maher. He rips into both sides equally and he represents the kind of leftist I am. Don’t want to be lumped into those SJW, 1 million genders group.
@Nathan Levesque hate speech laws is an infringement on freedom of speech. Who is regulating what is hateful? Theoretically it's not a bad idea ,but when put into action it can prove deadly. Plus stopping people from saying certain words doesn't end racism, bigotry , xenophobia. It just doesn't
@Aiden It's no more an infringement than any other law against incitement or threats. If you think that 'hate speech' simply means 'hateful speech' then you don't know what hate speech laws are. All they do is ensure that people can't circumvent laws against inciting or threatening violence by being slightly less than completely overt about it.
o_Õ Shy Guy do you believe in 3rd terms abortions Higher taxes Reparations Illegal immigration Open borders Big government Socialist policies (redistribution Id wealth) Calling conservatives racist Believe in russia collusion Big Bank bailouts Nation building foreign policies?
I’m truly wanting to know because I was ra Democrats and got dooped by the left.
@BananaPhoPhilly Aw thanks man. If you're not trolling, I really appreciate it.
Personally I'd love to be a content creator, but I have several reasons why I am not one and why I probably won't be for a while, if not ever. I think it mostly stems from insecurity about my age. I feel as if most people will brush off my views as very misinformed or ignorant solely due to my age. I'm relatively young and I feel as if it would be a bad rep for Breadtube, since some people would see it as YouTube "brainwashing" younger people to perpetuate their "dangerous liberal" ideas, whatever that means. Secondly, it's a very risky move to spend time on YouTube at my current age. I'm investing most of my time into passion projects and school, most notably focusing on agricultural courses and careers, as well as computer engineering and Astronomy. I'd love to work in agriculture-based work fields and would probably love to start my own worker-owned cooperative one day. YouTube is just currently too volatile a platform to make a living off of, and I feel that I would not be able to handle the stress if I even had the slimmest chance of being a successful content creator. And I think the last point is that I don't think that I would have anything new to bring to the table. Many notable BreadTubers like Contrapoints, Three Arrows, Vaush, Xanderhal, Philosophy Tube, Polidice, NonCompete, and much much more essentially do what I do, but I think much better in a more concise way. I just feel that if I were to be successful, I wouldn't have anything interesting to add to Breadtube, and would rather leave the spotlight for someone else who probably does have better things to say, in a sense.
@Gabe Davis Nah, he's pretty centrist but he isn't afraid to be critical of Hollywood elites like Kimmel. Even I'm critical of him. I don't even know how he still has a platform considering how he performed blackface on national TV.
@Nathan Grant Ah yes, because believing in equality is the same as being in a literal cult. I could say that QAnon conservatives are essentially a giant conspiracist cult but that still doesn't prove your point. Educate yourself. Don't make bad takes that you'll cringe at in the future.
@Outlaw Donut Centrist, specially in the US, equals conservative. Aka, the only place he would be socially accepted in Europe would be a neonazi group.
@uwirl Geez man, that's some bad praxis. I mean, not sure about your theory, but geez, that was some really bad praxis. You can't just call someone a moronic, idiotic incel and expect to win them over. Be kinder to them, even if you personally don't want to. Show them that our side is more rational. That's how we'll get change accomplished and finally see the real progressive ideals that the working class needs.
To be clear, I am not against you. I just want to spread class consciousness, and creating divisions within the general, centrist, and apolitical public isn't doing us any favors.
We gotta think strategy. We gotta be smart about this. Don't alienate, explain and show why our ideas will create better outcomes for the betterment of humanity. If they're not convinced, then at least we tried. But even if they're not directly, someone indirectly will catch on to it.
Outlaw Donut, easy kid. When I was in my early 20s I was very much a radical liberal Democrat and in favor of a similar anarchism as to what you described. All that educating of yourself you’ve been doing, I’ve been doing for 20 plus years, I’ve always been very much an outsider who studies from a distance and there’s nothing historically you could go over or viewpoints you could come up with I haven’t entertained or read about. I’m still very much liberal, my statement had to do with being a fervent democrat/republican. Some might say I’m center left, but truth is truth, and I go with that, not political parties who’s interests are always their own power. The political system of the US is what it is, it’s not going to change other than the natural forces that are bigger than any of us. Almost every major narrative that’s a big national story is usually inaccurate to the truth of the event. Humans are deeply flawed and that extends from your personal network, to the general population, to the leadership. I’d love to see all the corporate fat cats and leaders of this country ripped out of power but the second you replaced them with any sort of leadership they’d immediately start to muck it up. That doesn’t mean we aren’t slowly heading toward a better world, mass communication has seen to that, but in the entire history of the world leadership has abused its position to one degree or another. Eventually there may be an infrastructure in place that allows us to finally live without human leadership. In the meantime, my only message no matter if you’re liberal or conservative is let the truth be your guide and don’t get caught up in parties. Btw Qanon is a cult.
honestly i fell like most youtubers are better at redpilling people than commentors while there can be bad ones atleast they put ime and effort into making an argument than saying "your videos are really bad" even ricegum made a better argument than those people
This was one of the most concise and well put together videos on the hysteria of modern liberalism ive seen by a channel who doesn't even care that much about politics
King Zangy conservatives are super hypocritical tho “ hate speech should be allowed but burning flags should make you go to prison for a year “wtf as a lefty I can assure you that the majority of us think the only speech that should be illegal is threats of violence society will deal with the rest say racist shit you become know as a racist problem solved
@Nathan Grant I completely respect that and sorry if I got a little out of hand. I honestly kind of just had a knee jerk reaction and didn't mean to alienate you in any way.
Albino Peach search up “the greatest story never told”, the Fascifist, and George Lincoln Rockwell’s speeches. You can find all this stuff on bitchute. A lot of it is gonna sound crazy at first but just try and hear these guys out. Godspeed my brother.
@Outlaw Donut steven takes an odd approach to politics i agree with him but he is way to religious and I think that's the problem he is extremely religious and he is also really conservative
Õ_Õ Shy Guy nah I think is political views may be a bit more problematic: go to 9:10 and look at Kimmels arms. Uhh yeah that doesn’t look very centrist.
Yes but he isn't a republican. So far all I heard was extreme moderate. And I think that's what America needs the most right now. That's what the world needs. Unification and return to the center. All we have is extremes now. Can't get anything done if your constantly at war with the opposing party.
I actually just rewatched this and holy shit I just realized his views are so open on this video. I mean I dont care about it and it doesnt matter because I'm still gonna watch him. But wow he really went all out here. Still though as a leftist I was a bit annoyed with some of the talk.
I just wanna add my hat into this. I am also a leftist, and many people in this country seem to have a misconception what the left really is. When people hear the word "leftist", what come into there mind is actully the mainstream media's portrayal of the left, "liberals". Liberals arent leftists. There different. Social justice warriors, anti-white, annoying dumb fucks who cant talk, the mainstream media, your average Democrat, these people are all liberals and not leftists. The media has planted a fake misconception of what the left really is. From personal experience, I used to be reactionary in thought, and I believed that all leftists are annyoing dumb sjws who call everything racist. However, once I talked to real leftists, and watch real leftist shows (not liberal). My mind finally opened up. Most leftists I have talked to are chill people, and are willing to have conversations, (they dont just call you racist and sexist) As this comment thread showed, we have been portrayed poorly. It really makes me sad to see that these liberal late night talk show hosts are causing people to turn away from the left. Real leftists are more focused on policy, Medicare for all, UBI, workplace democracy, freeing non violent drug offenders, legalizing weed etc. These are the real main leftist goals. A good show I recommend is secular talk, which will give you a dose on how a real leftist thinks and acts. Real leftists hate Democrats and the main stream media, they are elitists who dont pander to any progressive policy, all they do is whine about how trump is racist. The furthur left you go, the less people say: Trump bad.
@Outlaw Donut Lol, an anarchist who wants the government to do everything. Anarchy is the extreme of libertarianism. Obviously you don’t even know what anarchism is.
@Luke Kiefer Anarchism is the end goal. Market socialism is what I'm fighting for.
Edit: I'm currently fighting for change that can be reasonably executed within the confines of the American system. Once that is implemented, that's when real, revolutionary change happens. I am an anarchist, but I would much rather have a peaceful revolution than a violent one.
I'd probably be considered a liberal and do consider myself mostly a liberal in the vein of a traditional progressive mindset; and I agree with more or less all the points set forth in this video. This does genuinely represent some of the biggest problems with the United States. I think a big part of it is in relation to those "liberals" and SJWs who have dropped their traditionally relatively noble ideas in favor of embracing authoritarian and borderline communist, and even racist ideals. I hate that I have to associate with these people who want to control what I can and can't say through 'political correctness' , or whether people can hold differing opinions. While the term 'regressive left' has been over used into Oblivion, I think it's relatively accurate term that shows that these people are going backwards while firmly believing they're going forward. The abundance of masked antifa members behaving like those they were originally meant to counter, the talking heads and celebrities who smugly lie through their teeth, the politicians who play the game and hold no belief beyond money and self preservation just like the way the right (be they Republican Democrat or something else) always had. Those who do have ideals have ravenous radical ideologies that resemble stalinism or something from a psychotic African warlord.
Damnable Dandy You are a hero among liberals. Come. We shall cleanse this political party with BLOODSHE- I MEAN SOAP! WE WILL USE SOAP TO CLEANSE THEM!
+Damnable Dandy I'm absolutely in the same boat and I think YouTuber Contrapoints summarizes this pretty well in her video "Pop Feminism," (at least in relation to, obviously, feminism and feminist circles) — most of what goes on under the heading of feminism is utter nonsense because it's such a large and diverse school of thought at this point.
Damn son, too many redpills in one comment. I too am sad to see these people turn to a racist, authoritarian version of "progressivism" (at this point, they aren't even progressives in the technical sense). Despite largely agreeing with liberal policies like Medicaid expansion, anti-foreign intervention, legalized weed, pro-union, freedom of speech/religion/expression, and state secularism, I have stopped identifying myself with the "liberal" label. I don't even identify with the Democratic Party anymore, most of the politicians are corrupt opportunists. When I vote, I'll vote as an Independent.
These 'SJW' types are a dangerous bunch. They are racist, authoritarian and completely indoctrinated. They are a sizeable minority, and they would disappear if the media would STOP PANDERING TO THEM. Left and Right, the media panders to their views. Everywhere you look, you see articles about "muh cultural appropriation", "muh racist cops", "muh white privilege", "muh Islam", etc.
To be fair, the media also fuels the alt-right with this same kind of rhetoric (especially when they talk about how great it will be when Whites are a minority in 30 years). Thanks to the MSM, you've got people on the left believing that we need to eliminate "cultural appropriation" and "white privilege", and censor "hate speech". We also got people on the right who think we need to create a White-only ethnostate in order to prevent minorities from destroying the lives of the White majority.
If we do not stop fueling the SJW's and the alt-right, there will most certainly be a civil war. Though that may not be a bad thing, people like you and me are in the majority, most will not submit to the alt-right or the SJW's. Maybe it is time for the tree of liberty to be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots once again.
really pladmir vutin, anywhere you look you can find extremists. conservatives have neo nazis, liberals have communists. christians have the westboro baptist church, muslims have isis. theres even extremist fucking buddhists.
my point here is that the simple fact that there are extremists on all ends and not just on the left and right shouldnt deter you from choosing a side. it's all about what you think and how you perceive the overall image of a side to be.
Damnable Dandy At this point, I believe overt SJWs are right wing agents making leftist and progressivism look bad for the sake of getting more people to lean right.
I am a long-time NRA member and a proud supporter of the Second Amendment. Even though you do not like guns and you did not like the NRA I am glad that you can still see through the bullshit correlation of banning guns and ending gun violence. Thank you for being someone on the other side who fact checks the actual gun violence in America. Keep making awesome videos dude
Chris Hutchins It's amusing how you gain more members after every single rally for gun control. I'm glad we can all see through the bullshit that the media perpetuates.
As someone who is very much on the fence about the issue, a teacher with two kids in public school (so very concerned about school shootings), and generally pro-gun, would you mind elaborating on your viewpoint for me? I’d like to be informed about statistics and such, but I’m also quite interested to hear the empirical side of things as well — how people are able to rationalize what they believe. I understand if you don’t want to waste your time writing out some long-winded spiel about how you delivered a gun baby in an elevator and it changed your life and perspective or whatever, but I thought it couldn’t hurt to ask.
I damn near cheered multiple times at this video just because you’re a rational human. I dont know whether thats a good thing or bad thing but either way I subscribed.
Too bad we don't have a conservative show that makes fun of liberals. Oh wait we do since the creators of South Park came out as Republicans and the best part about it is that South Park is actually funny lol
Ha ha. Hey, did you guys hear the one about Donald Trump? They say his toupee is still silly OR DO I MEAN HIS COMBOVER GEAGEAGEAFEafeafgea hehehehhee.....fea.f.eafa
I really like the Roseanne interview cause it really shows what's wrong with Kimmel. I mean I'm liberal myself but I hate how bad people like him make actual sane, rational liberals look. Although to be fair I feel like no matter where you are on the political spectrum that there's going to be some insane individuals that make people think badly of you
Gamerdude854 Exactly I’m a Democrat in an extremely democratic neighborhood, and there are some crazy democrats! The term “extreme” isn’t just used for Right wing
OltskuMP no I get it, it’s just a really bad meme that I have no idea how it got any traction because it is so stupid. It’s not even stupid in a funny way, I would just advise anyone to refrain from using it because it would just make the person using it look dumb. Just trying to minimize embarrassment on the internet that’s all.
@Paul Aagam Theres really nothing to "get" its a single word describing specific traits that otherwise take a paragraph sum up. The humor is a side effect-for one reason or another, often the unexpected, yet revealing accuracy of it which many people will describe seeing in certain groups. Given the strange and unlikely specificity of the meme, that humor can be powerful. EDIT: its not meant to be an insult either-just an efficient descriptor of something-an evolution of language.
I'm sure youve seen people going all out for causes or things they dont know anything about (like in college)....sometimes its hard to understand, much less describe what youre seeing with people like that-then along comes this little word thats almost magical in its ability to relate the formerly unrelatable, and from the weirdest of places nonetheless.
Paul Aagam listen buddy... you not having enough of a sense of humor isn’t our problem. Maybe if a bunch of people find it funny... it’s a good joke? Just idk, consider that.
Its hard to argue he's "towing the line" anymore. He's part of the group of talking heads that make the line now, and they've moved that line far from the actions of Kimmels past. The only reason he isn't being held duely accountable is because no one talks about it, since he's in a position to control the flow of information.
Just so you know, I'm not a big fan on talk shows, but there are some good ones out there that I've actually watched on YT (usually clips involving YouTubers that I've watched for a long time, or voice actors I'm a fan of, like Patton Oswalt and Patrick Warburton).
Jimmy Kimmel, however, is not one of the good talk shows.
Like you, Emp, I was bored and decided to watch one clip of the show on YouTube, just so I could see why it seemed to pop up in my homepage so much.
And now I want to punch that jerk in the face so hard that he'll talk with a lisp for the rest of his life.
Lol holy shit this nigga even tho he dislikes trump said most of the shit that conservatives has been saying for a while, fr dude thats so much for being more truthful and honest than a vast majority of joirnalists
Well, how are race relations still a problem then? I know that is a loaded question with how broad this supposed problem would be, but I simply disagree. Sure there is the occasional Karen where some girl flips out and starts yelling the n-word at some bystander, but other than that, how?
He used to be funny with this routine that he did, can't remember it but it was entertaining(might have got him confused with Jimmy Fallon, whoops LOL). Then he got political, constantly bashed Trump to the point where it wasn't even funny, being more aligned with Democrat propaganda. Used to watch Cobert too and I'm a Republican, thought it was hilarious mind you. There is a point between making fun of someone or something and just being completely nasty and pushing pure propaganda, they both hit that point with Trump and they became something else. And there's them being condescending too, like in your video in which kimmel basically says "We have to hold ourselves to a higher standard in respect to women so the dirty plebs can go on and harass and rape them everywhere they go" That is projecting if i've ever seen it. The fake moral superiority or piousness they try to project like pompous a holes too. I'm sick of it, everyone's sick of it. People just want to be made to laugh, not lectured.
This is a great video. The racial stuff is a little half-baked and could use a tune up, though. I hope that you don't really think the civil rights act "fixed racism" and that "not talking about it" is a viable option. Like I said though, great video.
We've been 'talking about it' for nearly 70 years now and according to the same group of people who still want to 'talk about it' even kids who have grown up recently still are infested with racism.
So either their solution didn't work and we need to do something different because they can't fix this by 'talking about it', or it isn't a problem anymore and they don't know what they are talking about so we should let the matter rest.
And if you knew about how people's perception of themselves and how they fit into the world alters how they think and behave, you'd know that constantly saying that nonwhite people are a separate special group is counterproductive to the goal of eliminating white racism.
To be honest nobody sounds funny rn. Most of the people in the crowd didnt laugh because something is funny but because they felt kinda responsible to laugh wuth everyone else. I watched john oliver yesterday like jesus it sounds so weird when he isnt accompanied by the laughter from the crowd.
I really don’t think it’s fair to put Kimmel on the same level as John Oliver as John is way WAYYY more entertaining and even during his trump era of content he openly admitted that he hated talking about him and wished he didn’t have to but trump genuinely royally goofed so many things in such a short time that John would be doing his viewers an active disservice by not talking about them like Family separation at the border and funny enough how badly he fucked up the meeting with Kim Jong-un
"I respect your views, however crazy they may be." but all she did was explain how basic democracy works and how the average american doesnt take advantage of the system if you dont like what someone does replace them simple logic

@Sptflcrw What do you mean? I am not trying to spread misinformation or bring out lies. Be specific on what information is wrong and I'll fix it, because I put plenty of links. Including my own take on the issue.
Pretty much saying "It seems voting is pointless. It seems politicians of USA won't have our best interests at all any time soon." With the rest of the links giving specifics as to why.
If your not specific or at least show how the people are wrong with evidence and present a argument. Your not giving anything to the table.

@Sptflcrw "According to the text of Article II, however, each state government was free to have its own plan for selecting its electors, and the Constitution does not explicitly require states to popularly elect their electors. Several methods for selecting electors are described" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College
If you were wondering which link the qoute is from and thought I was lying about where the qoute came from. You might argue Wikipedia isn't a great source, however their is debate over that issue. Sure you as an average citizen might be able to change the article and make lies, but the experts can reedit the wiki page to put back the truth.
Part of the pros of Wikipedia is that it has the advantages to being more up to date than scholarly books, because anyone can bring information and they can put what they know as truth in it. Plus the use of books take longer to give out info compared to writing on Wikipedia. After all even scholars miss important details as well as spread out dated info that used to be considered "true", but isn't anymore. The cons is that lies can spread from the fact that it can easily be changed at any given moment, however scholars can also edit it as well so lies in article we'll be edited to bring the truth. That isn't always a guarantee though.
You can also verify if what they say is truth by finding links to valid websites in Wikipedia. If they don't bring links in the Wikipedia page it's probably a liar or they do have links and was trying to be honest, but didn't bring enough links for a person to know for certain about weather it's true or false.
Thought Addict I’m not going to bother arguing with you. Just know that while it’s true the electoral college is stupid. Voting is absolutely important, and your vote does matter

@Sptflcrw Yeah.....Sure........It ain't. It just ain't important at all, because I don't influence what they are voting. They are the ones dictating what the actual votes are. The popular vote is more of a suggestion(even though it's not supposed to be), while the electoral vote is more of the actual votes coming in during politics. They aren't forced to vote for the candidate the people vote for therefore they can vote for someone else. They are the ones dictating who's president not us. Sure they are supposed to vote what the people voted for, but they don't and get away with it. Since electors(or representatives) don't bother representating what the people are voting for they can vote for someone else. The electoral college is where the people indirectly vote for president and the electors are the one who directly vote for the president, but if the electors can vote for someone else the people didn't want doesn't that basically make the "regular people's" indirect vote useless since the electors are the ones giving actual influence? It does. Therefore votes from people who aren't electors don't matter.
Sooo that means it's pointless and a waste of time. I am not giving real contribution in any way shape or form by voting, because I ain't the ones giving the actual votes. Sure it's rare they vote for what the people don't want, but if you read carefully again "It is rare for electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate." So they'll most likely vote for whatever candidate that's part of their party. Not vote for who I want.
If a liberal wanted to vote for a Democrat candidate, but if most electors are Republican the electors aren't gonna vote for what the people want. If a conservative wanted to vote for a Republican candidate, but if most electors are Democrat the electors aren't gonna vote for what the people want.
So no person who ain't a elector can have actual influence in presidential elections unless you convince electors to vote for a candidate you want.
It's ugly to see. The woman did say something a little biased with the "we have to make government by ourselves", without asking for politicians' accountability. Fair, lots would disagree on that point.
But when she went on to the more reasonable stuff Kimmel just kept latching onto an image of "crazy af lady, haha 🤪"
jon stewart was too popular, and unfortunately he was deft enough to seperate his incredible intellect from his public persona. now, everyone with a platform thinks they can use politics as a framework for their monologues, while not recognizing how seriously jon stewart treated the subject even as he mocked it. they don't have the same background, fervour, or reverence for politics that jon stewart had. as a result, rather than being a compass pointing towards absurdity so as to steer us towards sanity, they treat pointing to absurdity as the end in its own right.
It made me REALLY fucking angry when he just dismissed her question with "HHA HHA HHA TRUMP XDDD" and proceeded to call her crazy after her little speech.
I seriously agreed with everything she said. Then Jimmy comes in saying "lol ur wrong BUT WHAT ABOUT TRUMP, AM I RIGHT XDXDXDXD." I don't think any response has ever annoyed me like that before.
I can handle Fallon, Colbert and Oliver, but Kimmel's like that annoying mushroom guy from the Mario games. You just wanna smack him every time he shows up.
Caravaggio Thing is Fallon is authentic, Colbert is funny despite his excessive Trump bashing, Oliver doesn’t always focus on Trump. Myers is creative and experimental. Kimmel isn’t the funniest, most savage, experimental or authentic. He is always below all those other guys. This video only made things clearer for me (I didnt know the extent of his lack of vision or about blackface or pants fondling.)
agree or disagree with the state of america or this video, but i dont get it how some people can be sooooo fucking stuborn and irrational... why not actually disguss it in a normal way to make life better for everyone instead of trying to activly become the victim or talking for a group of people while not even belonging to them
The woman she interviewed at 26 min had interesting things to say, but he just made fun of her and disagreed the same way a child would make fun of about something they don't understand.
@Dildo Braggins Yeah that's Sully, and Roseanne has been famous in Hollywood for decades, she's been dealing with some personal problems recently but apparently her trump support must be blamed on that too. It's frustrating to listen to Kimmel treat her like a troubled child..
"Well since you just asked me a pointed and borderline invasive question on live television how bout I ask you the same thing?" "UUUUHHHH TRUMP BAD" [Audience goes crazy]
Sadly during Covid, Jimmy Fallon decided to hop on the bandwagon and Trump bash. Not saying it is wrong, just saying it has been done to death and he isn't even the president anymore and these late night hosts still do it.
The thing that annoys me the most about a lot of liberal comedians of his generation, is that they were happy to be non-pc back when the social winds were with them, but now that public opinion has shifted they shifted right along with it; no spine at all. It's fine for someone's opinions to shift over time, but it is obvious that they always just pander to the times and never cared about producing honest content. People can see through this and that is why they are losing to online indie creators with a fraction of the budget.
Man Show Jimmy Kimmel was probably the best and how he was probably able to fandangle some sort of viewership when he made the jump to talk show host. I agree with everything you said tho, and its a damn shame he sold out thoroughly. Not to say theres anything wrong with selling out (You, do you!) but you'd think with his background he would've been that one to be a thorn in the industry side but instead, he drank the Flavor-aid.
Much like how Chapelle thinks he can stay dark for more than a decade then come back with his holier than thou attitude. Shit stinks and I can only stomach him in small doses now (Grew up with/Love the Chapelle Show)
I mean, yeah, humor has changed, you basically have to change with the times. People used to joke about gay people all the time back in the day, and that type of stuff doesn't really work anymore now that people are more aware that homosexuals are just normal people too. We've left all the racist and misogynistic stuff behind, too, because it's really awkward to try to make fun of, say, black people, when black issues are actually super relevant and important right now.
You don't have to miss those jokes anymore, you can just let them die and see people make new material. It's fine, lol. You don't need to hide behind calling it non-pc humor, you can just say you miss the gay jokes and I won't judge you for that. They used to be really funny in 2005, but things have changed a lot since then.
@Dracocrusher It’s a fair point, I should be careful that my criticisms aren’t based on nostalgia and allow for people and the media they create to update as new thinking on social issues emerges, I feel you on that.
Part of my criticism goes, I think, a level deeper than gay jokes; what I appreciated about that era was the individualism and honesty that came with the “right to offend”, I saw the media figures that espoused it as fighting for something worthy even if I didn’t agree with what they said. Seeing many of them go back on that position in favour of virtue signaling and public shaming for unsavoury opinions makes me feel a bit duped, it’s the realization that most of the media is simply reflecting the culture and not making any statement itself.
It occurs to me that I’m not the first person to realize this, I remember older people at the time joking about how we were being sold individualism off of box store shelves, seems as though they may have had a point.
@Zorn's Lemon On the point of individualism, I genuinely think you're not wrong in a sense, but I don't think it's because of progressives or PC culture or something. I genuinely think, as much of a leftist cliche as this is, you can probably attribute a good bit of that to capitalism?
Like for example, back in the day industries weren't as big. A lot of classic NES titles were just made by like less than 10 people in a room, you'd have films mainly written by like 3-4 people, focus testing wasn't as big, etc. Like you can realistically watch the original Star Wars and attribute the successes of that film to a very specific handful of people who argued against Lucas for changes. And then everything just got way bigger, right? Like how many people worked on the latest Avengers film or on something like Wanda Vision?
And I think that's a bit of a double edged sword because on one hand it means you get way more resources in these industries, something like Monster Hunter World is clearly better made than something like Pong and it'd be impossible for a small indie studio to make a game like that work as well as it does. But it also strips away a lot of authorial intent and personality from a lot of media.
You look at something like The Evil Dead and it's made for basically nothing, there's extras in the shots, tons of things went wrong, etc. and while it's not normal for really good stuff to come from those conditions, it worked super well and those flaws became part of the appeal of the film, like you get a lot more insight into the minds of the people behind it. But then you look at any modern studio film and it's all so generic feeling. Good stuff still comes out, but everyone's having their scripts re-touched by 50 other writers, every studio's using the same type of engines for their CG and those engines are good at the same types of things, and they all have to hit the same set of plot beats with nothing that rocks the boat too hard because nobody wants to waste millions of dollars. Which also means nobody wants to take risks either, everything has to be a sequel because there's too much money involved to risk a flop.
It's all really cold and impersonal and just kind-of bland. I mean, when's the last time you walked out of a big film that got a lot of promotion and really had something to think about and chew on, you know? There's not really anything made to challenge people anymore. I mean, not in big western media at least. Then you check out a new anime and 12 episodes in people are using quantum science to bullshit about the nature of society and humanity and it's like "Oh, fuck, this is just going off somewhere wild! I need to know where the writer's going with this crap!"
@Dracocrusher Horseshit. You can joke about whoever and whatever you want, that's what comedy is for. South Park, Dave Chapelle and Bill Burr. And yes I know, they cover both sides.
@Feister Woke comedians were edgy starting out, and sanitized over time to become brand safe and have wide appeal. They're corporate husks of human beings who scold the same people they used to be, now that they can afford to be shallow and unfunny.
Basically they sold out to become the establishment, but sold their soul to do so.
@Dracocrusher No, humor hasn't changed, free speech has changed, people are now more sensitive. You used to be able to joke about 9/11, gay people, etc. And no, not all of those things are inherently racist, homophobic or an attack on minorities. I can say gay people can't drive because they can't think straight, is that homophobic? No, it's a play on words. In Indonesia, we can insult someone's mother and people would realize it's a joke, unless I go on a rant, I could do that and be their friend later, I could say something about darker skinned people, and my darker skinned friend would laugh too and insult my lighter skin, but at the end of the day we'd slap ass and mabar. Of course Indonesia is more strict on the law side, but socially, there's pretty much almost no rules on what we can't and cannot say, unless you're in Jakarta.
@Dracocrusher And that hasn't changed to in America, only in mainstream media and liberal states, when I went to America, made some black friends, I could say lots of racist jokes, and they would be fine, they insulted my normal Asian height or my country, that's fine, I'm not offended, because it's just a play on stereotypes (and sometimes stereotypes are based on truth).
@Dracocrusher It's not capitalism, it's communism in the elites. Government bailouts, monopolies, etc. And pretty much it happens when you have something too big that those people expects people would just consume it because brand recognition, in this case because it's Hollywood. Look at Nintendo, a Japanese company, pokemon sword and shield was a giant dissapointment, everything was just bad, storyline, hardness of gameplay, animation, graphics, idea lore, etc. And it's happening in anime/manga too, there are of course good ones, but there's lots of anime and manga that just BS their way in with the usual stuff, like flashy sword fights and nice art, but the story is crap, prime example is demon slayer, it's generic, and not the good kind of generic, it's executed terribly, everyone is 1d, cute fanservice, "emotional" scenes with no build up, everybody has a dead parent and in the end everything is tied up badly, but people like it because oh cool line work, oh cool art and animation. It's not, it's bad.
@Dracocrusher It's also because of how out of touch Hollywood is, they pander too much on mainstream media, while they ARE mainstream media, it's a positive feedback loop, and eventually they will fail, as long as foreign consumers stop thinking Hollywood is cool. There's so many independent artists in the west today that have talent, but it just needs time for them to be recognized and eventually be mainstream. For example, I think an anime was produced for a comic/manga made by a French author, an anime is being produced for Scott Pilgrim, Smiling friends, etc. and there's also stuff like Arcane, Into the spider verse, The northman, etc.
@Dracocrusher It's also an effect of new culture, anime is more popular than ever because it's also a brand new exciting culture. People won't see Hollywood anymore because other than the stuff before, it's also pretty much become the standard, people won't realize how different American culture is because it's become the standard, it's normalized in entertainment and people are bored, they want fantasy, which Anime gives, everything is sugar coated and made as if everything about Japan is beautiful and wonderful (until you see the reality of it, 99% conviction rate, people sleeping in the office, high suicide rate, passive aggresive culture, too focused on perfection that it's wasteful)
Grow up. There just comedians. Leave it at that. If you dont like it dont watch it. Its so dumb how people make things like comedy into politics like just let people be. Most the time they say these thing because they know people will react and want to see what it is. Dont make no political issues into politics. And if you say comedy has a impact on political views dont be so soft its a JOKE.
20:00 to be fair the UK doesnt allow guns unless you have a licence for specific use. Which is why there is far less gun crime. Knife crime on the other hand is different.
Despite no guns, UK has a similar murder rate to many US spots. If you look at the data on murder rates, you'll understand its not gun-loving Republicans that are causing the sky high murder rates. Detroit, Baltimore, Philadelphia, LA, Oakland, Chicago, etc. Take those cities out of the stats and America is actually one the safest countries per capita.
So storytime for any viewers. When the episode where Jimmy Kimmel talks about north Korea I was in the Air Force and that day I had just gone to a briefing about a possible deployment to South Korea. Shit was that hot at the time. I got done with a twelve hour shift and a briefing and went home and showered. I sat at the TV to watch some relaxing cheap comedy show called Jimmy Kimmel live only to be pulled back into the mindset I just left. That night I attempted to take my own life and failed. Jimmy Kimmel was the straw that broke my back. I appreciate emplemon putting into words what I at the time could not.
The "I was" portion has me thinking that you left the military or were kicked out. I hope that's the case, because if listening to a television host talk about current events, especially one that your job revolved around (geopolitics and potential armed conflict) almost causes you to commit suicide, you were not fit for military service. Basic training usually weeds people with a weak mental fortitude out, but some people still manage to squeeze there way through..
That being said, I hope (as a civilian) you have spoken to a therapist to get your suicidal thoughts addressed.
Holy shit is the first time in a long time but I’ve seen two people have a spat and then actually listen and respond to the other by answering with a candid and respectable comment. Thanks for restoring a little bit of my faith in humanity
@That Broke Gamer 1) he never said he went to Korea, just that he has in conferences about possibly being deployed there 2) what does the content on his channel have to do with the validity of his story? 3) What does he gain from telling a lie this deep?
It's kind of weird seeing the toxicity of 4chan leak out onto other platforms. Newfrens tend to browse the forums, see the increasing large amount of >be me shitposts, and think seeing those type of posts anywhere afterwards MUST mean that it must be an anon shitposting outside of 4chan. I doubt you'd even read this entire post considering that you had to bash OP with the sneaky "repubtard" at the end of your post, but you gotta learn to not carry such a sense of deniablility in what you read. Not everyone is out to be the "le epic troll who owns u libs with fax n logic".
@That Broke Gamer that's fine. You can think what you want, but you don't get to question my story without me correcting you. My feelings were legit. What I wanted to do to myself after watching that episode of Jimmy Kimmel and that briefing was legit. It's not something I'm proud of, but it happened.
@Khairo Aetos Hey man, I just want to tell you that you're a great person and I hope you got your life back together and you have no more suicidal thoughts now. One thing I should mention is that I really don't think it's a good idea to leave your real identity (your full name and background) out on a public comment, since a lot of people may look you up just to troll you, or even worse send you threats if they disagree with you. So I'd suggest you to delete the comment mentioning your name just to be safe!
@Rattenhoofd clearly you misunderstood. On a normal day. Under a normal set of circumstances Jimmy Kimmel would mean nothing, but we're not talking about that. We're talking months of stress with no relief coming to a head. Once again it was the feeling of not being able to escape that was the issue. Hence jimmy being the straw that broke my back. I pray you never have that happen to you, because it's an awful and embarrassing feeling.
@Khairo Aetos I understood perfectly well, I just think it's really unfair and obnoxious to chime in with a suicide-attempt story under a video criticizing Kimmel, and claim the two were in any way related, however distant. I want to clarify I'm not trying to ridicule suicide or mental illness in any way, it just doesn't have anything to do with Kimmel or late night TV in general.
@Rattenhoofd you're entitled to your perspective as I'm entitled to back myself up when you use such aggressive language for really no good reason. I shared my story, not for likes, not for warm and fuzzy comments, and certainly not to demonize Jimmy Kimmel. I shared my story for the primary reason that watching this video brought back a very uncomfortable memory and one of the things my therapy taught me was to express my feelings instead of bottling it up. I shared my story for me. Although the outpouring of gracious comments means a lot to me even years after the event in question. I still wrote my comment to get the story off my chest. To let loose and be able to reconcile with myself that what I felt at that time was very real even though reliving it was very uncomfortable. I'm sorry that it bothers you, but perhaps you could practice the old golden rule. If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all.
@Khairo Aetos I don't doubt that your motive for sharing was sincere, and I really am glad you managed to find a path forward, but there's a time and place for everything. It also seems you and especially the maker of this video aren't at all adhering to this golden rule you're promoting. Let's agree to disagree, I guess.
@Rattenhoofd my opinions of Jimmy Kimmel not withstanding. I do not blame him for covering what he covers or disliking whatever politicians he dislikes. I don't blame him covering Trump's potential peace talks with North Korea. What I've been trying to say is that doing back to back deployments, going through a divorce, finding out about shit popping off in North Korea, hearing about it at work, going to a briefing about it. Talking about it. Stressing about it. Thinking about it. Then finally trying to escape it at least for a little while only to be reeled back in all with very little time off between broke me. It would've broke me if it had been Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Colbert, Conan, or anyone. It didn't matter. That's what I've been trying to say. My dislike of Jimmy Kimmel is removed from that.
Aw man that's sad, hope your better now though. Army can be tough at times and you can't put it over your own well-being and it's good to take vacation off.
Looking at comment sections is so sad... It doesnt really matter if the story is real or not, or if its shitting on kimmel or not.
Its a story from someone be it fictional or not but somehow SOMEHOW people manage to stop, get angry, shit on it, scream and slander other people entiteling themselfs for "calling them out" Or simply just convincing themselfs they are right and EVERYONE should know they are right, because they knooow they are right i mean ofc im right...
This was such a sad and confusing sub comment section i wanted to leave this note for the lurkers who just keep going and think "oh i wonder if this is true or if this is for some agenda" And keep scrolling and forget this. Respect to you be you and dont change.
This thread is honestly hilarious. You shouldve never been in the military.
If a late night talk show host pushes you to suicide then you desperately need to take care of your mental health before signing up for a position that potentially entails you having a firearm.
@Ryan Cronwell every now and again I'll see a new comment that either misunderstands my reasoning or thinks that I was suicidal because of Jimmy Kimmel, but hey I guess reading comprehension is tough for some people, but overall I'm glad the thread went/is going the way it is. I appreciate discourse.
@Gnar Boots took a TDY there in 2016. It was fun! Like I said in other comments. It wasn't just the idea of having to go to south Korea. It was the culmination of several events strung together that really made me just want my life to end.
@Glum Sulk I appreciate your sentiment but i'd recommend reading the sum total of my comments before making a statement like that. It wasn't like I listened to Jimmy Kimmel and suddenly wanted to kill myself. It was a culmination of several events in relatively quick succession that led up to a terrible train of thought.
@Khairo Aetos I have actually had a similar issue with people not reading everything in a comment thread, but it was more annoying than sad, I mean if you're gonna put in your 2 cents at least check the total first
I am so confused by what people find wrong with this comment. It’s a comment for a reason. No one has to say anything about it, good or bad. I think the reason for putting a comment like this is quite clear. The commenter doesn’t care if you read it or not, he just wants it off his chest. Calling him weak is just selfish, to think that you could have endured the pain or never made the mistake in the first place. Show some empathy. It’s not hard. We aren’t meant to tear each other apart, we’re supposed to work together. Show this man some support, and be on your way.
12:37 I have heard people say that Hitler was a better leader than Trump, and that they would even prefer him to be president over Trump. Unironically.
Gorden Freakman This actually points out a lot of the same criticisms that socialists have for liberals. I think you and EmpLemon are actually socialist and just don't know it yet.
liberals are supposed to be open to other peoples ideas and perspectives, but a lot of so called liberal who refer to themselves as liberals aren't actually liberal and are more stuck within there progressive ideological bubble then anything. i think when people here the word liberal then think of the left when actually the word is supposed to represent the center
I identify as a progressive, and I think the US needs social democracy.
I also believe the Democratics are actually conservatives (neocons) and the Republic Party are actually rightists (yes, that word exists, it means "nationalists and reactionaries who aren't fascists yet").
Gorden Freakman that's the one thing I don't get. How can you watch your party fail time and time again in debate and ideology and watch them lose any moral standings they ever had and still call yourself a liberal. I feel like it's blind devotion. If I were a conservative and saw all of this on the right I would question the right and choose a different party... Like I did. I am independent now.
TheBudgetGunCollector I think it's more about trying to keep the ideology true to its roots and remembering it's history. I sympathize with you, I once saw myself as a classical liberal but moved more towards having social democrat ideals and I'm personally independent. We'd be better off with no political parties and voting based on their ideals and not party affiliations. Rock on 🤘
i mean we could have a true discussion online, but its either, trump jokes, "Moderates" and can we stop talking about trump now as groups, shit the man political discourse i hear is people complaining, never giving solutions, or trying to empathize with each other.
Xbox 360 E Hope you are joking dude. Communism could might work one day but USSR was a pure bullshit. I am from czech republic btw and few members of my family went to prison due to a state policy. There is no freedom in communism like that and faster than you realize you become prisoner of "everyone"
I feel that a lot of these talkshow hosts who talk about politics only do it for views since its a trending topic, especially impeaching trump. A lot of these people just say hollow shit like "haha trump bad" but making no real statement past it, just some regurgitated spew and thats all it can be described as. Meanwhile political talkshow done right "the last leg" acknowledges its bias but also makes unique jokes at the expense of things such as the host growing his beard till brexit was done because of the blatant lack of prep the country had for it (he done this from i think 2017 when they expected to leave the eu then and pusehd the date back at least 4 times or so).
I dont think its wrong to talk about political bias's when you acknowledge your own bias to a wide audience, these well known people who talk about their own perception and opinions need to better clarify that this shouldn't be something you just agree with blindly. Take the other side of things which is fox news (arguably far more dangerous for a political bias), they use a lot of framing of stories and fucker carlsons "opinions" on matters as oppose to more objective stories and push for certain agenda's that align with their lobbying stance. It works to indoctrinate viewers and has a frightening effect on the masses who absorb the political stances from the instinct of "this is my only window into the ongoings of the world so it must be right".
Tl;dr: influential people should be upfront about bias's and its their responsibility to further hammer in the idea that no one should take everything they say as pure fact and should do their own research.
"Hollywood is a place where some of the most talented people create great works of fiction , But fiction isn't real, and when you surround yourself with fiction, don't be surprised when you lose track of reality " Amen
As long as they dont physically or psycologically induce their ideas into the world, its not a problem. It becomes a problem when they harm others either psycologically or physically, like by insulting them or hurting them just because of their appearance

@miuboy That doesn't sound like it's just an opinion then. It sounds like it's an opinion that can be physically or psychologically induced onto the world, and often enough to be a problem.
@James Nnabuihe yes, but if they don't do it its not a problem, right? If you are a racist but keep your mouth shut about it, don't harass anyone in any way and are a functioning member of society, i can accept you as a friend. The problem comes when they don't. But yeah, I'd rather have a friend who isn't a racist.
Emp, a lot of gun owners don’t even like the NRA. I think that’s the one thing a vast majority of gun owners and non-gun owners agree on. And honestly, justifiably so
Exactly. It’s not a matter of “should we have guns?” We are a long way from not needing guns. It’s a matter of “do I support an organization who wants to get richer and richer even if it gets schoolchildren killed?” To which pretty much all of us should say “absolutely not.”
@Hail Ghidorah first off, nice pic and name, grew up a huge Godzilla fan.
Second, absolutely. There’s a book that I want to read called, “Gunfight: The Right to Bear Arms”, which talks about how there have been unethical practices to unarm people. It mentions the Mulford Act, a bill that the NRA helped fund and push for Reagan to sign, which predominantly effected minorities during the time. This bill was put into place by none other than the State of California itself. I’m not sure how valid that’s what the intentions of the bill were, so I hope to learn more about it, but something I’ve noticed people who are anti-NRA mention a lot.
@Hail Ghidorah Most school shooters got their guns illegally. Second of all, gun rights are in our constitution. I live in a small town, I hunt, I own a gun, I need a gun to regulate deer population because it can cause mass disease.
The NRA says it's a ''civil rights group'' when it's just a lobbying company... Like, seriously. The people at the NRA aren't providing an actual view from gun-owners, instead, they're out for money and power from republicans.
The SRA is way better than the NRA. Highly recommend all Americans arm themselves, especially if you're a minority (as you're statistically way more likely to be a victim of violence); everyone is already armed and nuts, you might as well be armed to so you can defend yourself lol
26:49 This is so pathetic that she is trying to make a valid point that should appeal to both sides but Jimmy is just treating it like a damn joke. Someone's head isn't screwed on quite right.
@Sanian38 Just because he calls himself a comedian doesn't mean he has to turn everything into a damn joke. She's trying to persuade the audience to practice their right to vote to get what they want out of the government. He's just laughing and being inconsiderate instead of agreeing and seeing the good point she's speaking.
@Sanian38 Okay man, I tried making a legitimate case but if the only words in your vocabulary are "triggered" and "snowflake" then I don't even think I'll waste the brain power trying to do so.
Roseanne: “we need to stop getting out of control and come together to fix these issues!” Kimmel: “yes that’s all well and good but how about that buffoon in the White House eh?”
@KillerKitten753 Kimmel's more interested in Trump because he has repeatedly ran that same joke OVER AND OVER. He's basically acting like that one Uncle most people have that make the same damn joke every time you see him in the holidays because he used to get noticed by those jokes.
I don't usually enjoy Jimmy Fallon but I respect his decision to not jump on the "haha Trump bad lol" bandwagon. (i say this as a person who hates Trump)
This is the best political commentary I've seen. Ever. Coming from who I used to think just made stupendously funny youtube videos. I was entertained then, and I am an avid listener now.
Here in the netherlands, we actually have a word for the kind of thing these presenters do, and it's ironically named after one of those "late night presenters". the effect is called: "The Lubach effect" which basically means that a problem only exists after a dude in a suit on late night TV said it.
@Shapshap Shapshap The people on twitter are young as well. My sister is 13 and runs an account where she mostly talks about Harry Styles, and she has over a thousand followers. And she commentates on politics. And she enforces cancel culture. And it isn't pretty.
@JGHifiversveiws No, we like it when someone who used something like cancel culture and pretends to be morally superior to others get their own shit turned on them. Jimmy brought this on himself, by A) you know, doing blackface in the first place, and b) By weaponizing cancel culture and fake moral superiority to bash others. Shit you do has a way of coming back for you, and that's what this is. Jimmy's past catching up to him finally. No one is going to shed tears karma came for his ass.
We cannot let cancel culture win. Even if it cancels people we personally dislike. Evil actions for good reasons are still evil actions. You are still tainted by your association with the evil actions.
The ends do not justify the means. They never have, and they never will.
Can all you seething leftists learn to listen for once? Emp said in the video he didn't like of agree with Trump and his policies, so quit acting like the opposite is true.
23:05 yikes😬 Emp you clearly didn't do enough research when doing this video. I respect what you're trying to say, but you might want to remaster it since it's pretty obvious it has some flaws.
Stix N' Stones comedy in it of itself has rules that separates humor. Humor is what one thinks is funny, which is subjective since everyone has different tastes in jokes. Comedy on the other hand has actual basic things that make it comedic such as a punchline, build-up, puns maybe. Comedy is a lot more than just what you find funny.
Not everybody who insult somebody gets punished, because ii is hard to prove and can be hard to talk about. The second thing is, when you talked about liberals, it's your perspective the thing you saw, there are millions of people who live in the US so it's hard to say what are there problems. But I agree with the rest great video 😊

"I think Trump's kind of bad for comedy. Most comics in the States have started to do the same jokes just because Trump is so on everybody's mind. So it'll be nice when we don't have to talk about him as much." -Dave Chapelle
It's interesting your tremendous intellect based on one supposed episode you watched. I am subscribed to your channel for entertainment. I would say you are more similar to Kimmel than most. Good luck!
"I got an idea!" "Ok, shoot, Bill." "Let's harp on Trump now, and make him look bad, so he's less likely to get re-elected!" "...Face it Bill, you just don't the sort of executive mind required for a leader." "Ok, what were we going to do instead Jim?" "Eh, idk, be liberal I guess." "Hey, that IS better! Trump can wait a few years! No wonder everyone loves you Jimbo!" "Ah, don't flatter me so much Bill...er, say that again a few times, would ya?"
Who would have thought in the span of 4 months liberals would destroy democracy, america, and from what’s happening in ukraine and Tawain, america might not even survive to 2030
I'm actually curious to see what all those talk shows look like now that their orange cash cow is gone. Not enough to actually watch them and find out tho

Conclusion: “yup, I still got it. They love this shit!”
"Blame everything on Trump exactly like Republicans did on Obama was President but this time its when Trump was President that 'all the issues' came from his Presidency because fuck accountability!" - Hollywood, Twitter, and every conglomerates plan now that Bidens president
@Bonda_Racing35 the majority of blm protestors aren’t fans of Biden but they did voted for him over trump and it was a way better reason than the trump supporters reasoning like there were protests all over the world
@Mercury the joker pfp makes this so much better. Ok to start, more immigrants are coming because of trump being out of office because he separated families and now they think Biden won’t do that. Yes what having ppl in those facilities are bad but if you’re arguing that trump is better you actually do t care about those immigrants because he eliminated the 72 hour rule that obama made that sent immigrants back after 72 hours. Trunk kept those immigrants way longer and when he did released them he also separated the families as a deterrent. Also trump bombed Iraq and Syria on his first day of office. If we’re comparing Biden waiting a month than trump in a day biden is obviously better but none are good in general. Also trumpets got rid of Obama’s drone strike death counting rule to make sure nobody really knows how much ppl are dying cause of him like Obama also killed ppl but at least he made the information known you can’t even say that about trump
@Franco Ramos The reason is that America is one party pretending to be 2. It’s the most right-leaning country in the world and any true left candidates don’t gain real momentum with Americans. They’ve been taught that socialism is the devil and that capitalism is flawless. Hard to argue with a nation that’s been brainwashed.
Man,I ain't even a Trump supporter. Heck,I am not even American but American media just baffles me. These guys are still defending Biden keeping Kids in cages. How can anyone do that?
@Jared Armstrong The happiest countries on Earth currently are all socialist. Again, you guys always confuse socialism for communism. They’re not the same.
@Stratosphere No, they employ at best a kind of nuanced social-democracy. The element of capitalism and/or free market is always present. Hell, even the motherfucker of the socialist countries, China, is like that. So you can't really call any country today socialist. Only one you can say that for sure: North Korea. I feel like this is a heavy misuse of a very well determined concept about how a country should run their economy, politics and everything else.
@Cadú Hidalgo Social democracy is a form of socialism. It values workers and citizens rights over greed and war. It values community over individualism. I’m not saying everything about capitalism is bad and everything about socialism is great, but if American’s want to see real improvement in their country they’ll have to adopt some socialist ideas.
Stratosphere no, it's a form of democracy. Whilst some western European countries are heading in the direction of socialism, none of them are there yet, and in Eastern Europe they still remember the horrors of radical left governance so they'll reject it outright.
@Kaio Zanette Liberals desteoyed democracy? When did that happen i must have missed that one. I'm an independent who greatly dislikes bith parties. To be frank neither has ended democracy. The only one that came close was the Republicans with jan 6th. I'm a fair man though, I don't think that was sanctioned by the Republicans. If I heard a liberal say the opposite of what you said I would have to argue it too. No on eis being fair. We all need to be objective and hold our leaders accountable. Soft spots are for pets and comfort foods not greedy politicians.
@Toongamer oh man. They blamed Obama for just about everything from facism to every conspiracy in the book. I wouldn't be suprised if they pinned the JFK assassination on him. They pulled everything. As an independent watching the two parties strangle eachother is annoying because it plays into the hands of our country's enemies. Places like Russia couldn't ask for a better situation.
@latina parfait isn't thst what politics is all about. That would be like shaming a bird for flying or a fish for swiming. Power requires appeal and appeal can be gained through smearing opposition. The Republican media bashed Biden and every other Democrat for the last 4 years too. It is just the business.
biden continues to ignore his past claims of calling african americans “people who deserve to be in prison”. i really don’t like either side but this bipartisan system has been outdated.
Nice to know that everyone who is against trump/ republicans in this reply section attacks these people even though none of them are saying anything against you lol some of these people in this section are annoying af
Sometimes I wonder "Gee, all these media and Huge corporations that donate massive ammounts of money to Democrats seem to really not like Orange Man; like those 70 million from Wall Street, another 8 million from Jeff Bezon/Amazon, several other millions from Silicon Valley and perhaps more worryingly, the 50%+ of donations to biden's 2020 campaign that came from donors with undisclosed sources of income. Maybe was I emotionally manipulated into hating a guy whose politics went directly against the interests of the US elites and corporations, so much that I think just anyone becoming president of the US is a laughable Idea so I supported a carreer politician who's nearly half a century in politics and has been nothing in his life except a politician?
But then I remember that I am a liberal. I am so smart. So I was told by the nice lady at the DNC building an people like Jimmy Kimmel. I even have a college degree! I wouldn't fall for such a low trick. I am SO smart!
Besides, everybody knows that Orange man was so bad! SO SO SO Bad that I... Don't even remember why he was so bad.. Don't ask me why he was so bad! It's not my duty to educate you in something i cetainly know everything about it because it was a conclusion I reached for myself, not by a barrage of certainly unbiased media coverage that only ever said he was bad! I am a liberal. Smart. Unbiased. Independent.
So good job, fellow liberals. We voted a literal dictator out of office! With the help of some nice corporations that will make sure we'll never get another president they don't approve of!
We did it, liberals! We saved democracy!
Now let's eat the celebratory bowl of faird trade, farm to table, gluten free hay and let them all hear out liberal virtues chant! All with me now. Ready? 3...2...1...
I think its funny how Lemon shits on Kimmel for shitting on Trump for meeting with Kim but in the end Trump and Kim meeting ended up doing basically nothing. Hine sight is awesome
I like the part where this is a weird defensive rant that downplays racial and gender violence in America because these are issues that Jimmy Kimmel pretends to care about
yeah it's oddly ironic how whilst attacking jimmys character for inserting his political views into his content emp is doing the same thing. I know it's an old video but still pretty stupid.
You should do a comparison between him and Adam Carolla, another comedian that is arguably Jimmy’s best friend. I for one think he is way funnier than Jimmy. (Subjective I know) but he is more talented than Jimmy and deserves more limelight.
Craig Ferguson had larry king fumble his way through a gay robot skeleton performance and it's the greatest moment in late night television. Just some food for thought.
@The Warden of Oz that’s a completely bad faith interpretation of “stop talking about it” you just gave there. Obviously race exists, people can believe it objectively exists and they can address the problem of racism whenever it is present. How does that come off as believing race to be a subjective construct?
@RollrCoastrBacon 27 that wasn't an interpretation of Morgan's statement at all. Morgan's method involves ignoring it/pretending it isn't a thing that should be addressed while so many do the exact opposite based on how they were taught. I know it's a thing; trouble is, it's simply bad logic. It is an ancient divide and conquer tactic. The only real method against it is to call a spade a spade: true biologically different races do not exist, except in fantasy like LotR and DnD and Warcraft. And ironically, even in those, the humans are always their own race. There is only one race, the human race. Otherwise, race itself is an absolute joke in reality that arrogant humans on every side of the fence push for. They like inwardly to root for their team, when technically everyone is an image bearer with a standard template and skeletal structure and genetic code that hardly deviates save for aesthetics.
Race = racism. It's bad logic, and everyone who puts their hat in it (most humans) are going to be terribly dissapointed with the garbage ideology that only divided themselves from the beginning.
So that said, I'd love to reach a point where everyone could shut the fuck up about it. But that won't happen until they accept that being a respecter of persons is like trying to befriend a many headed hydra with a sword. It will never happen when you've already divvied up everyone from the get-go and given the hydra a myriad of regenerated heads while pretending to have successfully cut them off.
@The Warden of Oz I can agree on most of that. However, even if Freeman was off-base with the solution to end racism to be by to ignore race as a concept, even if it seems impossible and incompatible with the nitty-gritty of the functions of human society, it may as well be adopted by everyone over the extremely toxic and racist societal norm of treating race and similar identifying traits as a means to gain hierarchal status seeing as that is exactly the apparatus that creates racism and racial segregation
I don’t think I need to tell most people that race, gender, sexuality and other surface-level stuff is given significantly more importance and attention than it is given the prejudice and oppression in most first-world institutions. At this point, the amount of attention these identities are given practically beg for something to antagonistic system so it can be given more importance and sympathy than the amount society and its institutions already give it
Sadly, the thing that resonates with me personally with Morgan Freeman’s solution to end racial discrimination is that it will never be implemented by the current 24/7/365 global megaphone of racial identity so it can’t actually be said if it will change anything
@The Warden of Oz I mean, "race" exists in a way like for example all africans are all kinda in the same camp. It's just that race is such a loaded overbearing term. It makes it sound like they're a way more different then they actually are. We need a word that's a step up above "ethnicity" but race is like 3 steps above that.
Emp I know you read your comments so thanks for being the one of the only people on the internet who speak the truth. Your rant about racism has aged so fucking well
Quick tip (which can actually come in useful if you are arguing with someone who does this) North Korea is not fascist, I won’t blame you as you clearly don’t have a grand vested interest in the subject, and fascism has become a bit of a buzzword. However, Fascism does not actually mean country lead by authoritarian boogeymen. North Korea is communist (unless you believe that it isn’t “true communism” but at that point I’m going to start being a bit less polite) and believe me when I say they would not appreciate being called Fascist whatsoever.
Holy shit I thought it was a joke in the comments but I actually can't tell Kimmel and Fallon apart. I still can't believe they're different people after looking up Fallon's face.
@Kurt prove to me how it is? Do white people get discriminated against for their features? I genuinely do not believe a white person has gone through half of the stuff I've experienced in America but go ahead and explain.
@Ameera Abubakr if someone is hiring or not hiring based on race, that is racism by definition. Its not racism only when you get the short end of the stick. Without diversity quotas, companies try to hire the best possible person for the job for the least amount of money they possibly can.
also I'm not saying,it's not racism if it's not me,I'm saying it's not racism. Usually there is some sort of history or background behind racism or any other kind of bigotry... And yeah racism is an ideology and an opinion,and there are probably a small amount of people that genuinely hate white people-but corporations? No,corporations push an agenda to stay in power and make more money. Their interest is not in "oppressing white people",they are trying to pander to people of color because now it's not cool to be racist. Think about,blackface,there was a market in making fun of black people...now there isn't,or at least not as obvious. As brands like unilever for example,push skin bleaching creams in places like India and Nigeria it seems like people want to be white,not the other way around. There are 100+ countries in this world and its easier to name ones britian hasn't colonized,I mean seriously,this goes on and on...and I could keep going on. can you say the same for racism against white people? white people ruined communities,countries,lives,heritages and cultures. but some how,someway,white people are oppressed and are facing race issues in America,get your head out if your ass and look at the bigger picture. this is a much bigger,deeper problem than whatever the hell you think this is. and this is not "a class war dressed as a race issue" it can be both,and for once can it not be red versus blue? this isn't about,white people today,and shitting on white people,i don't mind them...but a lot of them are ignorant and aren't seeing the bigger picture. i can't see it the way y'all see it because i'm not white,and knowing the things i know about racism,colorism,colonialism,I just don't believe this,it sounds really ignorant and then my own lived experiences,hearing this pisses me off. i'm just being honest. You don't have to agree with me,it's just how I think.
@Drew P. Weiner "a class problem disguised as a race problem" is how my UK partner described it to me early on when we started talking. Over there they had a big government initiative to look into systemic racism, and all they found was class problems (with poor white kids doing among the worst of any group by far). The UK is interesting because they speak about and recognize class issues much more than we do in North America. I think we face a very similar situation to that government report, if I'm honest (that is NOT to say that racism doesn't exist, as that's very different than systemic racism). We could at least learn from their example and discuss class issues much more than we currently do.
You are the type of person I love, sure your opinion is different, but I can respect the fact that you have the brain cells to look up and research topics.
I have mixed opinions on this video. While you did a really good job of explaining the various reasons why Kimmel and why so many other late night hosts are insufferable I feel you really understated the importance of a lot of social issues.
Statistically plenty of people who commit sexual assault will never be imprisoned whether they're from Hollywood or not with victim's often being pressured by the courts to drop cases so they don't have to deal with them. Yeah Hollywood bred an especially toxic environment on that front, but to act like it's only really an issue there is ignoring the larger problem.
Racial issues didn't just stop with the civil rights movement. The war on drugs which you mention in this video aggressively targeted black communities resulting in mass incarceration and the further poverty and crime issues that plague many black communities. Plenty of people in this country are still racist even if it isn't quite as open and ingrained as it used to be. Obama getting elected didn't automatically prove racism is dead. Also acknowledging obvious things like "Police will be much more likely to arrest someone over minor offenses if they're black." doesn't mean that nobody who is white is disadvantaged just that in different areas (especially those involving police and prison) white people have advantages over black people.
Also I think your statement on American education is misguided. Yes there are organizational issues with how we structure our education (like our obsession with standardized testing) that go beyond budgetary problems, but it feels like you present the spending on the American education system as bloated even though America ranks 66th worldwide when it comes to percent of GDP spent on the education system. In reality we absolutely should be spending more money on things like improving inner city schools that are massively underfunded and giving teachers better pay.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of your opinions on these things have changed. This was made 3 and a half years ago and to be honest I probably shared a lot of similar thoughts back then.
I'm not very knowlegable on these topics, since I'm not from the United States, but to me it seemed like Emp wasn't trying to make a political argument, rather he argued that these topics can't and shouldn't be talked about in simplified, black-and-white terms, the way Jimmy (and most people) do.
yeah i was also kinda surprised he lumped john oliver in with a lot of these other tv hosts because like him or not, his show is definitely more than just saying “trump bad” like jimmy. you can definitely tell this is an older video lol
@Ms Starlight 893 He literally said that Liberals are actually better in society when they aren't being stupid. He also said that he dislikes Trump too. So IDK what you are going on about.
Melese Ghetahun {ImpPro} it’s a good plan in paper, but the execution would be impossible, people would continue to talk about it either because there would be some instances or just because it’s taboo to talk about it
Augustus Gloop because we keep bringing it up? If we literally never talked about any difference between people with different coloured skin, many less people would have the idea to discriminate against them because of it in the first place. Some might come up with the idea that having a different skin colour somehow makes you inferior, but they would be as ostracized if not more then flat earthers; it makes no sense.
Not talking about things has been proven not to be healthy, not good for your psyche, it's not good for your health it's not good to bottle things in and not talk about it I'm not saying complain about it I'm saying talk about it and come up with a solution
Do you actually believe racism exists solely because people talk about it? Not because, idk, people are racist?

@Heal Drop Well the media started reporting on racism because it happened first, and people had the idea to discriminate way before the media reported it.

@doubleOT Exactly, reporting on trivial stuff like that is making the situation worse.
Jimmy Kimmel is FAR from my favorite TV Show host, but I will bring up his back to the future segment from October 21, 2015, that is the only cool thing he’s done.
What if... The TOP charts of popular things are really not popular, but portrayed as ? What if top songs are just decreed by corporate committee and noone actually votes for them, we are just told we vote ? What if ? Just to form popular opinion, that is, to further mold the masses how THEY want ?
A lot of people still dunked on him for the rape allegations after his death. But yea, whether or not the allegations are true, it's still in poor taste because it's tragic that other people were involved in the accident
@OK K Don't flatter yourself into thinking I went out of my way to look for every single time you commented. My point is that you left a politically biased comment in every thread on this video. Then, hypocritically, you mocked the idea of Emp Lemon putting his political bias into a hypothetical talk show. I've spent quite some time reading funny or otherwise interesting comments on this video, only to be forced to come across your comments over and over. To be honest, I got pretty annoyed by how many times you've tried to insert your own political opinions into everything, so I made a comment to mock you about it. Amazingly, you replied in seven minutes. It's funny how you can't see how hypocritical you are, being biased while calling out someone for being biased, when they call someone out for being biased. Next, someone is going to call me out for being biased, and this cycle will continue forever, eventually getting us nowhere. Also, Emp wasn't putting himself above Jimmy at all. If anything, I think he did a great job of being neutral through most of the video. Can the same be said for Jimmy Kimmel? Can the same be said for you?
So, to answer your question: Yes. It is a joke. Most YouTube comments are jokes. I guess I have to spell that out for you since you took it so seriously. Maybe you should take things more lightly, especially if they're coming from strangers on the internet. Sincerely, A Stranger on the Internet
We're on very different political sides. I can agree with a lot of your points regardless, just like anyone can.
Watching this now, it definitely feels dated. "SJW" is an out of style term for sure. Definitely didn't lead to peace lol, Trump did a lot of internal damage to our country...coming from someone who loves this country.
Happening again nonetheless, too bipartisan after that election, without a doubt.
I don't question Kimmel's existence, but I question the people who keep Kimmel employed. I forget if Reagan said it or some other actor, but they'd said something like "Hollywood is filled with commies" or "Russki Commies."
It's weird how these unfunny late night hosts are even able to compete with Colbert, who is the only one to ever get close to Letterman. Like why are they on t. v.? They're obviously not as good as Colbert.
i love trump! although i don’t mind if people don’t like trump unless if it’s for a stupid reason. however jimmy is someone who doesn’t even care about the celebrity anymore just care about the attention and the money. should do another job instead lmao.
Reminded me of when Eric Andre interviewed Jimmy kimmell and told him to make a joke, then just pretended to laugh hysterically and smashed his desk up.
Jimmy Kimmel is great if you can't sleep, just watch for 2 mins, yawn. works every time, even if I don't intend to go to sleep I may be in the kitchen and hear that drone robot monotone voice, I instantly go on "ignore this idiot" mode. This poor excuse for a "comedian" can't even fool us with his Fake emotional tears and outrage by bringing his kid onstage to use as a Trump Hate propaganda tool. and who loosened the pickle jar for KilLIARy ? Come ON ! how low can your ratings BE !?!
This is why I love EmpLemon. He speaks the truth but people don’t listen because they know that Lemon is the real deal who challenges people with facts and legitimate reasoning instead of bullshit nonsense.
To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand EmpLemon The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Emp’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about SOCIETY. As a consequence people who dislike EmpLemon truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Emp’s existential catchphrase “DOWNWARDSPIRALDOWNWARDSPIRAL,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Trent Reznor’s Metal epic of the same name. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as EmpLemon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂
And yes, by the way, i DO have a EmpLemon tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower) beforehand. Nothin personnel kid 😎
_ K I S H K E N _ I see the point that you’re making, and I 100% agree with what your saying. But everyone is crazy over the people that they look up to. For example, if I said “Fuck Jake Paul”, there would be people who would argue against me because they can’t take criticism.
I've been watching this channel pretty hard for about two weeks now, and it took a suspiciously long time for this particular video to come up in my feed.
I really thought this was going to a Kimmel like video bashing trump and republicans, I appreciate that it wasn't. I fucking died at the comparison of California to North Korea at 10:10, 3 years later and it's gotten so much worse!
Roseanne: "just chill out and take responsibility for making this government work instead of throwing blame around when you arent willing to lift a finger to make the world better"
Jimmy Kimmel: "That's insane! You're insane! Orange man bad!!"
It's sad that he was decent on The Man Show and Win Ben Stein's Money. Not amazing, but not whatever he is now. Well, I guess what he is now is proof that no good writers still work for network television.
All these shows have sucked since letterman (and Carson) retired. Conan had his moments too. For the first 23 minutes here tho, every political statement you mentioned was super oversimplified and ultimately misunderstood. Most people are dumb, liberal or conservative, but if u get your information from the journalist outlets that win all the awards, you'll be good 👍
Western entertainment never interested me anyways, not missing out much, not from this decade at least. I'll stick with my gay weeb shit thank you very much :3
I mostly stay away because I don't really care much about TV Shows or Late night shows (Except for John Oliver because he's actually educational and talks about real problems in America and the world), the media I consume the most is Music, but even that has been plagued by dumb shit like this.
Every murderer drinks water so we should just ban water. The irony is that it would actually work.

I was never a fan of trump but yeah the constant bashing of him was and Willa slash be annoying and dumb who cares what people think politically he’ll I went through my phase of being “political” thank god now I’m at the point where both sides are flawed and politics as a whole are a mess and Jimmy Kimmmell never was or will be funny same with Amy schemer for another example Love the quality videos EmpLemom
It will continue to be true until society collapses. The toxic culture persists, and with Mr. Potatohead in office it isn't slowing down. Frustrating as hell to hear calls for "unity" after Trump wasn't given 1 second of peace and cooperation.
@Pichu Flash why would we cooperate with a racist authoritarian??? it’s not a matter of petty politics, it’s literally someone we couldn’t risk abusing his power
@BeeBwakka Are you arguing that Trump incited violence or are you arguing that Trump is a racist authoritarian? To be objectively, totally honest, Trump did incite the violence. He strung along people for months on end with false hope, and the anger boiled over when the reality set in. Trump knew that Pence didn't have the authority to simply disregard ballots from the contested states, but he kept everyones' hopes up anyway. Trump didn't say "go riot," but he incited the violence nonetheless by keeping people angry even when there was no hope. So yeah, Trump is guilty of that. But that doesn't make him a racist authoritarian, make the argument for that point if you care to prove it.
@BeeBwakka Never said he'd strip the rights from minorities. Building a wall to stop drugs from Mexico is a totally fine policy. In the case of the Middle East, not wanting to let in people from a part of the world which we've bombed for decades seems totally reasonable to me. It's not like they'd carry animosity or anything, right? It's not like we were having at least 1 major islamic terror attacks per month when Obama was president, right? It's not like the europeans have been dealing with the same exact thing, right? Anyway, Trump was in office for 4 years, he never tried to pursue anything that would hurt minorities. The president has the right to create travel bans. The president has the right to maintain the country's sovereignty and safety by building a wall at the Mexican border. Are human trafficking and drugs good?
@Pichu Flash i just love how he keeps talking about ignorance while keeping details, or even straight up facts out of the argument. Trump litterally encouraged the Capitol raids, and refused to even acknowledge they were going on nor do anything about it until he got held accountable. Trump might have been treated more unfairly than he deserved the last 4 years, but the last 2 months he would've litterally be senteced to death row if he wasn't a billionaire and the president at the time. And now he's probably gonna not even be prevented from ever holding a government position again, because of his corrupt party. This guy shouldn't be let of the hook, this is like saying H!tler wasn't a bad man, because he wasn't on the battlefield.
@jucom I acknowledged that he incited the riots by riling people up for months after the election was over. I thought I was being pretty fair to be honest. The Hitler comparisons though and the fascist authoritarian comments are not fair to him, it is just an indicator of 'orange man bad' syndrome. I don't want Trump to run again, his time has passed and I want somebody who can articulate themselves better. Trump had good policies but he talked stupid all the time. I'm trying to look at things objectively, I haven't been pretending Trump is a greek god.
@Pichu Flash sorry, you facts were mostly genuine (although maybe a bit biased), i just read @elliot 's comment, and he is straight up denying the instigating insurrection.
@jucom No, it means not being even remotely edgy or memorable. When you have legit BLM supporting geniuses like Crank Lucas making skits about how people are too sensitive these days.... yeah, that's kind of insane and proves that people are way too sensitive these days.
Also, Biden not being a "PoS" is highly debatable, he's just not nearly as aggressively up-front about it.
@Slimer Magoo gas prices going up would probably have to do with the Texas power grid crisis that halted the operation of refineries in the Houston area, one of the largest sources of gasoline distribution in the country.
The only other reason gas prices could go up when you examine history is speculation of oil demand which means during economic booms, the price per barrel of oil increases due to increased demand of oil because of increased economic activity.
And the last tax bill was written in 2017. No new tax bill has been written since.
@Farhan Chowdhury Yeah, you're right. His conduct post-election was fucked up, in hindsight it looked like an authoritarian power move. He literally tried to convince the whole country that elections were illegitimate. If they really are, and there is truth to what he said, we need stricter laws ensuring real voting. At least he did a good job his first 3 years. Gas prices went to hell already with Sleepin' Joe.
@Farhan Chowdhury Taxes dont magically work like that bro also Texas doesn’t power the entire county, gas prices have been going up since before that as well nice try tho
@Pichu Flash You know there was evidence of fraud right just on small ass levels go look up rachael rodriguez i believe her name is who got arrested, there can be tampering with elections just not enough to actually change the outcome. Also the liberals for 4 years said Trump cheated and tried to impeach him, but hey, rules for thee not for me right?
@Slimer Magoo Believe me, I know about this. I followed the election fraud cases for months. I also know how unbearably hypocritical the liberals are, trust me. Preaching to the choir.
@Slimer Magoo 1. No new tax laws have been passed since 2017. So it would be impossible for taxes to be raised. Also taxes SHOULD be raised on corporations and the wealthy.
2. Democrats didn't claim the election had fraudulent votes and was illegitimate. They claimed and rightfully claimed btw that their private correspondences were hacked and publicly distributed right before the election to influence voters and it was hacked by a foerign country. All of this is confirmed by our own intelligence agencies. The claim is that Donald Trump benefited from it and possibly desired it which we can see from private correspondences between his son Don Jr. And Russian state agents in email exchanges along with the many financial ties Trump has with Russia such as being involved in money laundering schemes tied to Deutsche Bank were he has accounts for investment loans. The bank over the past decade have been fined 130 million dollars for money laundering Russian oligarch dirty money. So no, the Democrats weren't telling Americans that the actual vote count was fraudulent.
3. Every election cycle has a couple dozen humans who vote fraudulently. The reason why it's so few is because the opportunity cost isn't worth it and it's very easy to detect and is always found. Already half the county doesn't have the will power to vote and are apathetic to voting because they think their own messily vote out of millions is worthless. So very few humans would think the opputuinity cost (5 years in prison) is worth one added vote or a few added votes out of a million. It's also extremely risky. For you to successfully fraudulently.vote you would have to make sure the identity you are stealing to vote isn't going to vote themselves therefore you would literally have to stalk them and make sure they arent going to vote or else the system will detect two attempts under one registration and then will do a simple investigation. Hence why it's almost always caught and it's always just s couple dozen and never influence elections.
Donald Trump claimed that hundreds of thousands of votes were fake with no supporting evidence and riled up a bunch of Americans to believe that an illegal usurper was about to be inaugurated and that democracy in America essentially ended. Ya telling that to millions of people who think firearms are the solution to tyranny is going to result in violence
4. Texas Gulf Coast has the most refineries for gas production in the US. So when a state wide emergency in the state occurs were the energy grid went down to half it's capacity, that effects the refineries and it's output and will increase gas prices. We've seen this time and time again when the city of Houston encounters some sort of hurricane or other catastrophe. Gas prices always shoot up after those events.
@Slimer Magoo and gas prices can fluctuate from a natural disaster that limits the output of refineries especially if that place is god damn Gulf Coast Texas, the nation's regional leader in gas production refineries.
@Pichu Flash Meanwhile Trump doesn't accept his loss and tried AGAIN to overturn the results in Georgia. And the Republican Party isn't better either. I agree that both sides are shit. There shouldn't be two sides. That just creates the you & them mentality. If America had multiple parties which would have to make coalitions to have power, then politics wouldn't be black and white, but instead colorful. I hate both parties. This means if I vote for someone, I don't look at the party, I look at them and how they act.
@Pichu Flash @BeeBwakka (I don't know if youtube comments like this but whatever) This is the reason for some of the divide. Insults and bashing won't get anywhere. If we just put aside differences and stop trying to overpower others america could better.
Not really. I stand by some of Emp’s remarks on here, but now that the capitol has been raided, it’s hard to defend Trump at all, let alone the “high IQ” of the right.
@Farhan Chowdhury You're forgetting that elections were conducted largely by mail this election. I don't believe stolen votes would be enough to have such a large impact, but definitely some impact. Given how many stolen ballots were found, who knows how many went up in smoke. I saw videos of people burning ballots, but it's impossible to tell whether it's a larp or genuine leftoid behavior
@MrSisterFister you saw video of people burning ballots....
And I bet my left nut that you had zero intellectual curiosity to follow up on the video to see the context because it already fit your preconcieved narrative.
@Pichu Flash lol Georgia tried to help straighten elections up after polls showed that most people felt the election was not handled super well. New bill was put in that required ID to vote and some other small stuff like not giving away stuff at the elections because it can manipulate voters but apparently that’s super bad to the point MLB moved the all star game from georgia
@Pichu Flash hes authoritarian, and he was sued by the department of justice because he refused to rent to black tenants. literally Jim Crow housing policy. but whatever guess im just a hysterical liberal for reading supreme court docs
@Malik Shakur Dems are trying to pack the Supreme Court with 4 more justices to regain the majority. Sounds like both sides of the aisle have authoritarian tendencies. The country is taking a nose dive any which way. I don't give a shit to argue anymore. Trump wasn't the messiah, his time is done and we're still on the same track as we were before he entered office. My feeling at this point is apathy.
So have the comments. I just saw a 6 month old comment that said Biden is going to be the greatest president of the modern era. Its only been 4 months since he took office but I already know that whoever commented that has hung themselves
The idea that kids shouldn’t sit in school six hours a day five days a week when they have the internet has turned out pretty dystopian and harmful for education
@BeeBwakka Better than Trump??? We’re only 5 months in and I’m already seeing Biden voters regret on voting for him. We’re already seeing stuff like gas prices rising, hackers are hacking the colonial pipeline and just recently a meat plant, and this administration is doing nothing about the immigration crisis at the border. We don’t even have a president who can speak or think right. Trump is far from perfect and he can say or do some of the most stupidest things but he is so much better than Biden. Wait four more years and see what this country will become. It’s going to be so unrecognizable.
@Pichu Flash hey man, I know this is months after this comment thread came to pass, but I appreciate your takes. Your allegiance to the facts was noble, and it was refreshing to see someone acting in good faith by acknowledging the good and bad of Trump. I'm sad to say I share the same crestfallen demeanor you do, but at least I know there are other people out there who care enough to educate themselves with the whole picture, rather than taking a single detail and running, whether it's misconstrued or not. Thank you for taking the time to leave those comments.
I really don't like how many YouTube subs he has, 1m+ views nearly every video? Something seems wrong. Who the fuck watches him? I know this was three years ago but holy shit how is he still trending?
I generally agree with what you say. Don't like Jimmy Kimmel, yes yes. I think some of your political descriptions are not super accurate. I'm too lazy to go into specifics, but I recommend you read or listen to some Chomsky. Changes your perspective with the introduction of not well-known things. Maybe "Understanding Power"
Really says somthing when a humble actor like Morgan Freeman who's never once got on the soapbox or preached his political opinion, gives the best possible answer to ending racism.
He's one black person out of so many other black people who speak on their experiences of institutionalized racism. I can tell you that overwhelmingly black people can say without a doubt that racism does exist. Just because you don't want to confront that truth because it makes you uncomfortable doesn't make the problem non-existent.
I thought Michael Jackson had one of the best answers as well - his song “Black or White” was basically him questioning “Why can’t we all just get along?”
I don't think it's the best possible answer to stopping racism. We can't learn from our mistakes if we don't at least acknowledge them so we do sometimes have to talk about it. If not, we're bound to repeat the same mistakes over and over again
@z #37549 what i think morgan freeman meant by stop talking about it isnt racism itself but to stop focusing so much on race as what separates people. The "stop talking about it" quote comes from the interviewer asking him about being a black actor. Freeman doesnt want to be known as a black actor but just as an actor; as Morgan Freeman. Like how you would acknowledge someone as just a person and not a white person.
I don’t like kimmle, but I will say there’s a lot of moments where you just sound mad to be mad especially the sexual harassment joke..your level of hatred for him brought you to over analyzing A JOKE. you make a lot of points I agree with on this yet bringing up celebrity/pop culture shit up like that isn’t a large portion of what most late night shows since the dawn of time lean on.
I'm so curious as to whether your political views have changed since the release of this video. I agree Kimmel is unfunny, but a lot of your political beliefs seem very underdeveloped, which is odd considering your tight and engaged analysis of media in your Simpsons and SpongeBob reviews. I'm interested to know if contemporary events shifted your perspective as maybe it would put your criticisms of Kimmel in a different light.
There are actually a lot of funny Trump and Bush memes. You dont even have to be left to make fun of those people. They arent being made fun of, becuse they are conservatives, they are being made fun of, becuse their IQ is just enough to survive in a first world country.
Yiorgos Stergiannis Please provide evidence for your claim. It should be easy to prove he's broken the law is he's done so "so many times." Yes, I can't understand the second part because it's gibberish.
Yiorgos Stergiannis Paying someone as part of a NDA is common practice, and totally legal. If you're going to comment on a subject, you should really know something about that subject beforehand.
To be fair Kimmel doesnt go as hard as other show hosts which is pretty respectable. Trump deserves all the criticism he gets, but kimmel isnt as bad as colbert and the others when it comes to slamming trump
i agree w what he said ab kimmel but downplaying racism in mf America is just not reasonable. u can't act like a few generations is enough to make systematic racism disappear. in the grand scheme of things it probably isn't the most dire issue, but race has a lot to do with topics that ARE a dire issue, such as poverty and violence
Would that question or any statement made by Roseanne on Jimmy Kimmel interview lose any nuance and credibility since she made an insensitive tweet joke on a former member of the Obama administration? By the way, while I think it's stupid that Roseanne made that joke, it's kinda over the top to cancel a very popular revival show last season.
I’m glad Matt Damon is grounded as a celebrity in general and did make a movie portraying a southern blue collar worker in a good way and doing good(Stillwater).
@KingMe2002 it always happens a word that has a good meaning at first then just gets overused by 12 year olds and loses all meaning. I got called a simp once for making a girl laugh
@Scoredchicken18 the simp debate is 14 year olds arguing against 12 year olds, most of us don't have these problems with the words meaning and just enjoy it
13:07 I was with u til then, obviously Kobe wasn’t dead yet, but eh, just sum clearly not true, like Michael Jackson. Come after Michael, I’ll argue with every person
the whole point of hollywood and media in general is to polarize the world and make you think they have any expertise on politics. IMO they should just focus on what they're getting paid to do and that is to entertain me and makes some good movies...
I cringed so hard when Roseanne asked a question about Hillary, then Jimmy just awkwardly laughed and said "well...what about that crazy guy we have as president?!" [laugh track]
Crunchyscarf When people are asking you why you voted for Trump then no, she definitely needs to be brought up. But keep trying to sweep the left's dirty laundry under the rug.
Brendan Sculley I could say the same thing about everything you might complain about Trump. "What's done is done and we gotta keep going." That's reasonable right? Or is it that you just want people to ignore your own party's missteps while attacking Trump?
Sorry buddy, when someone asks "Why did you vote for Trump?" the answer "Because he was running against Hillary Clinton," is a valid one. You can't just say "Oh! Your candidate is so horrible and evil!" and then go "W-well I know OUR candidate was horrible and evil too... b-but you cant talk about her anymore cuz we said so!"
Matthew Carson Throw as much shit as you want at me but I walk the middle road of not caring about politics.Pretty hard to beat me in a sided debate when one of us hasn't picked one.
Brendan Scully Claiming to be an "enlightened centrist" doesn't give you magical powers in a political debate buddy, sorry. Doesn't matter if you're far left, far right, center, or all of the above. What matters is your arguments, and you haven't provided any other than trite like "we gotta keep going" which I've already rebutted. Maybe try another angle next time.
Matthew Carson My point being you really don't need to debate everything to get through life,I never once claimed being a"Centralist"as you put it made me better in this debate,and you seriously don't need to be this judgemental in the comments of an emplemon video so get the hell off your soapbox and do something productive.
Can’t we all just agree that kimmel tries so hard to be funny that it’s actually sad? I mean seriously, who likes jimmy kimmel? No one? I thought so....
Lacie Hinds Ah, another enlightened centrist joins the conversation to give their intelligent and insightful input of "Both of you guys are stupid lol." Such an amazing and revolutionary revelation. I'm shaken to my core.
Marquis Hill Since when has Alex Jones endorsed the "Jews own the world" conspiracy? I know leftists like to lump everyone to the right of them together, so I'm gonna have to ask for a citation.
Marquis Hill A stupid, shitty, slanderous joke. Yeah I agree. I understand why someone who doesn't like Alex Jones is fine with making disingenuous attempts at associating him with neo-nazis. But as someone who is neutral towards him I find it irritating and despicable that people try to dishonestly slander him all the time like you did, often without even knowing it.
Matthew Carson i think you're taking it a little to seriously it's a unfunny joke written in a youtube comment section. It's pretty much trash piled on trash that nobody will care about
I love How Rossanne was actully being smart and was just saying how maybe if we don't bitch and moan all the time then it won't be so bad and nobody said or did anything. But when jimmy would go "AHHH CAPTAIN WACKO...BAD MAN BAD ORANGE MAN AHHHHHH I'M SO PC AHHHH" the the rest of the chimps went on with him instead of actully listening
Goldstar Bishop Roseanne: (brings up reasonable criticism of Hillary and asks for Kimmel's opinion) Jimmy: uhhhhhhhhhhhh but WHAT ABOUT THAT CRAZY DRUMPF AMIRITE?! [LAUGHTRACK]
@Purple Angry Zmurf except if you look at the presidential elections presidents usually do 2 terms then a president of the other party comes in so it's pretty even 🤨
Saying that he steals content with malicious intent is giving him too much credit. I think he and his writers just look at what's popular and add it to the show.
There is a crank yankers sketch where he encourages his young son to sexually harass a librarian over the phone. He's a Disney puppet with a star on the Hollywood walk of fame.
Holy fuck, another 30 minute rant from EmpLemon. I fucking love your music choices, man! Also, everyone should tweet this at Kimmel. Also, the last 4 minutes of your video I agreed with so much.
@hockeycox07 "When you surround yourself with nothing but fiction, don't be surprised when you start to lose touch with reality."" - Fandoms in a nutshell.
Jimmy's stance on guns can be represented in the Piers Morgan/Ben Shapiro debate. Kimmel does stand on the graves and accuse you of attacking victims if you attack him or question his values
That whole "standing on the graves" argument is fucking stupid. Would I be standing on the grave of holocaust victims if I used them as an example to denounce nazis?
J L I’ll give you that but I think that Jimmy wilfully ignores the fact that violence will always occur between humans. Also most countries with guns legalised dont have such a high gun murder rate, its reallly cultural and a result of isolation and divisiveness.
Millionaire celebrities can hire retired police as bodyguards who have special federal level concealed carry they can take in any state and carry in places joe blow working class cannot. Obviously demand is very high for the limited few who can skirt all concealed carry laws, so these bodyguards can charge a high price. It is extremely disingenuous to champion for the rights of the working class to be taken away while a second set of rights is preserved for the wealthy elite. When I hear millionaire limousine liberals champion for "common sense" gun control, I never hear them champion for rules that would affect THEM.

Before this video was recommended to me, I had no idea you had such a warped view of people who don't buy the false narratives peddled by Fox News and the anti-SJW movement.
Also, as bad as Kimmel's show seems to be (even apart from differences of political opinion), what he said was not that you have to be smart to be a liberal but that intelligence implies liberalism, which is closer to the truth (insofar as smart people who are conservative or authoritarian are also surely malevolent, but not ignorant like a typical right-winger).
Also, wanting to pay lower taxes is the major motivator for the GOP's donor base, but social issues are more important for the voter and activist bases; it seems like the "flaws" you saw in Democrats and their activist base amounted to failing to roll over and play dead for Republicans.
Race relations have been a serious problem in America for your entire life, even though you may have been shielded from that until the age of ubiquitous smartphones; there was hope that Obama would usher in a post-racial society, but we quickly saw that that wasn't going to happen during his Presidency, and even though IMO relations have been trending better, high-profile incidents from 2012 onward showed that there was still work to be done.
I use the mini player on Hella videos but on this one it doesn't work and I feel like that's not a coincidence and youtubes out to get him,almost every other video works
I figured it out. It isn’t that he doesn’t want to, but maybe he can’t. Jimmy is a liberal face. He used to be heel but his face change requires him to play this part. Just like Vince got it wrong with Roman Reigns, they got it wrong with Jimmy Kimmel.
Kimmel - He's nothing more than an example of medieval jester, in the court of Hollywood's condescending monarchy. He's currently employed to advance the militant left's demagoguery of our young kids . This same... old... ongoing... dialogue of common satire, in my opinion, is a great example of why Will Smith lashed out at Chris Rock at the Oscars! Will and Chris didn't have a microphone between them, but there is a microphone between Kimmel and the world. Kimmel = medieval jester in a suit sad!
I don’t get why emp doesn’t agree with banning guns they aren’t the root of all evil but it’s stupid to not acknowledge the accessibility and ease of use guns have. Also the guns used being handguns and most gun deaths being suicides doesn’t make guns any better. I don’t understand what emp did there. Emp basically said society bad not gun bad. Guns being banned wont fix everything. Who actually believes that? It’s still urgent to restrict gun use so we actually have time and resources to fix other things. Banning guns is pretty much a temporary magic fix at the moment.
classy cool principal It hurt to see him say “nevermind her foreign policy”, it just goes to show that these people care more about surface level shit than actual country relations. Ask any of these people why they’re liberal and they’ll say “orange man bad, racist republicans bad, war bad, abortion good, trust wamen”.
That gun violence section was so apt. Switzerland has a vast storehouse of armed weaponry, yet close to 0 gun violence crime rates. Seems like guns aren’t actually the things that kill people, but people with their conscious brains do……
I used to be a “liberal”, but then I realized how other people in my group act, and I stopped because I didn’t want to be associated with these people. I now identify as more independent in terms of politics.
Not gonna lie. Dropping your political viewpoints because of the impression it leaves on you is a pretty dumb reason to do so. Change your political views because they benefit you, align with your moral compass and prove things to yourself factually. But disassociating with your friends was a smart thing to do.
Godzilla McDolan while I didn’t do it just because of that, that was a huge factor of me changing my opinion, as well as just me starting to think differently.
That's the problem with America. The only two parties that have enough voters to be taken seriously are the DNC and GOP and to be honest, they're both mostly equally dumb and useless in means of actually practicing democracy. America runs on it's biggest corporations and the money that moves between said corporations and the government. There should be more parties that have a chance to make a change and so that people with different political opinions can get a representative in to the government. I mean you can't expect for 320 million or so people to only choose between two opinions on things. The less parties, the less power actual citizens have and the more power the 1% has.

I used to be a liberal...then I learned how to stand up while I take a piss.
I’m a Democrat, but when comedians make too many jokes about Trump, it gets annoying. I totally disagree with everything Trump says, but I don’t go around bashing him
American politics scare me. Theres literally only 2 sides and both sides only strawman the worst aspects of the opposite side. Im glad I live in europe.
It is. It's just not the issue that should be overwhelmingly used as a talking point. Especially from government who could have far more effects on other serious issues.
And he replies with some pretentious holier-than-thou bullshit, completely ignoring her point in the first place. I love her humility throughout the interview.
I like trumps policies and voted for trump this last election and I’m really curious to see the ratings since he was basically their golden goose. Like he was a ratings cushion for talentless hacks and since that cushion is removed I wonder where things will go, especially for corporate comedians like Trevor Noah who is tragically unfunny
@Barra NZ One things for sure that race relations thing did not age well. Probably shouldn't use a youtuber who talks about memes dictate your political opinions. This goes for both left and right leaning opinions.
Reading the word “politics” in modern day could best be portrayed by if there was a scene in the movie They Live where looking at the same thing with the glasses that let you see subliminal messages just said “avert your eyes” or “get a headache”.
the thing about sexual assault though is that 1/4 men commit sexual assault but 90% of women experience it so either way its a pretty massive issue and you probably know lots of men who have sexually assaulted a woman.
I like how EmpLemon has the balls to talk about politics, given the US public. I will admit, I’d never seen Jimmy Kimmel directly, so I didn’t have a real opinion of him, and even after what EmpLemon said, I technically shouldn’t have an opinion on him. However, this contextualizes the situation, and EmpLemon hit it on the nose with his idea that Kimmel, or his type in general, destroys our sense of reality. Honestly, I am ashamed that morality is held in the hands of these people.
Image if instead of slamming the opposite opinion people tried to talk and understand the other sides opinion, even if you don’t agree, so you can respect the person for basing their opinion on facts
I never watched JKs show, but after his bout of making fun of people who watch games on Youtube (across several episodes i might add) just so he could have a quick boost in ratings , that pretty much solidified my decision to not watch his show ever.
I mean, i dont really care for Jimmy Fallon's show either, but at least hes not a total douche to his audience.
Sad Platinum2021-11-09 23:29:46 (edited 2021-11-10 23:39:08 )
Hey Emp, big fan of your content, but I just want to issue one correction at 10:15. I’m a Berkeley student, and a Political Science major at that, and like, our education isn’t nearly as political as people think. Some professors talk about their political opinions on Twitter, and yes the general student body is largely very leftist and engages in protests frequently, but in the actual classroom I very rarely hear professors talking about their political opinions. If they do, they usually preface it by saying “this is purely opinion” and then they usually offer counter points. I understand why people think Berkeley is political propaganda university, but it’s a good thing to remind everyone not to conflate the general student body with the actual curriculum. And of the opinions I’ve heard, 9/10 are very safe centrist takes like “This is bad, but hey, it’s worse everywhere else, go America.” Maybe once in a blue moon there’ll be an anti-America take, but it’s usually about something historically where America was objectively bad, like Japanese internment or Native American genocide.
TLDR: California colleges don’t actually teach anti-American propaganda, that’s just the pre-existing opinion of many students the majority of the staff don’t even really agree with based on the seldom opinions they do share. As a third year Cal student I can confirm that’s just a common misconception. There are even pro-Trump student clubs lol. The rest of your video is completely on point tho
Also wanna note that according to FBI stats, it’s estimated only 0.5% of rapes lead to convictions. So like (and I hate agreeing with Kimmel on this, the guy fucking sucks fs), but it is right it is a wider societal issue, not JUST something with the rich and powerful, though obviously they do have that problem much worse, and Kimmel acting otherwise is despicable
@Taylor fair point, the way it was worded made it seem like it was only something rich men get away with rather than it being something nearly all rapists get away with
I mean, there is a lot I disagree with here (which could be said about EmpLemon in general), but he does raise some pretty good points and I don't think most people really would care enough to really criticize Jimmy Kimmel which I do give him credit for.
Trump jokes would be funny if people didn’t constantly make them. It gets old and repetitive as it’s the same joke over and over again. It’s like forced memes. Something that was once funny is now toxic thanks to several unoriginal normies.
SeanG Plays I used to hate comedians that made jokes about bush because the punch lines were always the same. It’s just low hanging fruit. With trump though it’s been dialed up to 11 everyone wants to get their jab in even though it’s same punch every time.
SeanG Plays I once saw a clown who had a puppet and he said that he had lost the puppets wig and I kid you not he pulls out a fucking Tampon and puts it on the puppets head We need more puppet wig tampon trump jokes
As somebody who is slowly losing their hair line, I've never found the Haha drumpf funny hairline jokes to be even remotely amusing sweet because it just lets me know that once it's all gone I'm an open target that's allowed to be made fun of because haha funny drumpf hairline joke. and while I have a very strong liberal bias on most issues, I was called a trump supporter for a very long time until I decided to tow the line and go haha funny hairline joke
@Cucker Tarlson I remember that Mysterious Mr Enter said something about this subject, it went something like this: "Ones Trump is out of office just imagine how much bad comedians will lose their job"
if there was any country that we shown' be at peace with, its NK. Their behavior and rhetoric is one of the only things you can unironically compare to the holocaust. The country needs an intervention from outside forces and the only reasons that hasn't happened yet is because they are good freinds with China, arguably the worlds most powerful country, and they are extremely isolationist. So there is not much reason to assume they will just attack other nations even if they have the technology and ability. NK would much likely stay in its own bubble where it can manage and control it's people easily. Any attempts at imperialism would only weaken it's grip on it's own people and give other countries a reason to step out of line with it's never ending bow to China.
@Violence Is Fun I mean, we are speaking about it right now. The reasons people aren't allowed to speak about it, in any respect, is because it would negatively affect any business entangled in china. which would include every big business. It has nothing to do with being politically correct, its about every business not wanting to piss off china and lose profit from them.
Okay, but you do have to remember that not all liberals are bad. And not all conservatives are bad. The way you make it sound makes it seem like everyone that’s liberal is obsessed and bad, which isn’t the case. I do agree with a lot of other things you mentioned though.
One criticism: when you say liberal you should instead say left or progressives cause liberal is actually supposed to be a label of the center, North American countries just have been using it wrong for so long.
Referring to people with the political opinions he referenced as “left” would be too broad of a title. The way the USA uses the word “liberal” is a closer representation
I really dont see how, he spent first 5 minutes using unfunny as a factual point against Kimmel which is completely opinionated, then spent 10 minutes bashing Kimmel for inserting his political opinion into his show while EmpLemon inserted his own political opinion in the video the whole time. I swear this guy hates Kimmel cuz Kimmel remind him of himself. I don't watch Kimmel but this dude just shows an extreme lack of awareness of his hypocrisy.
Matthew Mallon that's exactly what I meant you've got it he is fairly annoying, the maker of video. there's really nothing to say about jimmy dont know what the point of this video is, he just doesn't think he's funny and doesn't agree with his opinions
I like... something like 50 to 60% of the Simpson Ever ever video, too exagerated at the end, but ok. Im not this Kimmel guy fanatic, Im consider unfunny too, but, your opinion jump too fast from "he is not funny" to "He dont desert to live for talk crap about my Lord Trump".
He literally said he doesnt like trump and disagrees with a lot of his beliefs. But you liberals probably see it as "oh, he's not bashing trump? then he must be worshiping him" yall always think in extremes
The worst part about it is they think that these "teams/sides" even matter. Realty is nobody is even on your side its sad so many people have fallen for all this deep rooted propaganda on both sides.
Bro, your literally doing the same thing as Kimmel mixing in your conservative views into the video

23:15 It is refreshing to see that some people still know what things to focus on in society. Emp lemon just seems like someone who generally cares about wanting to make things better in the World. Whether it is meme culture, censorship om YouTube or just representing an unpopular opinion. You gotta respect a person like this. Emp lemon has to be one of the most real youtubers I have ever seen.
I try to imagine what sort of person is just online "trolling". I think it's weird, but if that makes you feel a bit better more power to you, I suppose lol.
@JJ I wouldn't know, as I haven't done so . I imagine it would help about as much as going into YouTube comments and trying to invoke some sort of response so that you can have the feeling you had some sort of minuscule impact on someone's life
About Jimmy FALLON, I am amazed how staying away from politics hurt his ratings, I thought it would help him keep half his audience. Are the ratings taken from the same source as voting polls?
Yeah, good video and all, but the rant in the middle was really weird. You have to realize that both things can be true -- late night talk show hosts can play the Trump roasts for views and overkill the joke to no end, and sometimes they can be right. To say "Trump could cure cancer and they'd turn it into a bad thing" is really disingenuous in my opinion. You let your bias show here.
This is top notch content my guy. I don’t care about Kimmel... I watched this whole thing cuz you’re genuinely entertaining and intelligent. Teach me the ways of the Jedi.
It’s because the media is stupid, literally all of it. No matter where you go, Fox or CNN they portrait themselves and the other side as extreme as they can. Not every Democrat goes crazy about someone who owns a gun. Not every republican hates LGBTQ rights. A lot of the political portion of this video looks at the media, but not the people the media “Represents”
@kemp10 LordVega is probably the master of editing on YouTube, but his content can be pretty tedious. Sometimes it doesn't matter how great your video looks; if there's little substance, it won't hold an audience.
sense of humor is the only thing keeping people sane enough to not kill each other, why I generally don't side with leftists since they tend to get triggered instead of laughing when a joke is told, its just horrible to imagine what kind of person you'd have to be to get mad at seemingly everything
i saw a picture of someone shooting a basket from in a hellicopter, it was just titled kobe. was funny, i laughed, joke police hauled me away five minutes later.
@Nicholas Dante Maybe his downplaying and mishandling of the COVID-19, his withdrawal from the Paris Accords and environmental efforts, numerous instances of highly questionable behavior, and of course the recent shenanigans, idk man
I just wanna say; Thank you. You summarized every problem I have with today's liberalism. Seriously, you took the thoughts out of my head, and put them into words when I couldn't.
8:42 The rating ,, lmao !!! U MEAN Nielsen Ratings!! LMAO !! WAHT A JOKE THAT COMANY IS !
Nielsen sound like a candy bar !
listen , I had this in my house when I was a kid/teen s , and Our house of 3 ppl , counted as 70k to 120k ppl , FROM ME WATCHinG 1 SHOW ! 1 show is = to 70k+ !! i can tell u now , if Nielsen gives a number , take it with a gran of salt !
I side more right/libertarian in terms of politics (despite what my profile pic may suggest, lol). However, I think you hit the nail on the head with this vid. Our differences aside, I firmly believe you to be an incredibly rational individual who sees through the BS that goes on in our current socio-political climate. Bravo!
I'd like to apologise on behalf of the UK for imposing James Corden on you guys, who is equally obnoxious. A lot of people think he was so successful that he moved to the big leagues in the USA but the truth is, most people in the UK can't stand the guy and he'd never have found the success here with such a vacuous TV show.
I’m an American who lived in the UK for a period of time and spending time with Brits, I knew that Corden would not be appealing at all to you guys. Brits can tolerate Hollywood celebrity culture only to a certain extent and Corden has pushed its limits. His personality is far too gung ho that would be more appealing to Americans than Brits.
If you want racism to stop being spread, stop giving it attention. Bitching and moaning about it brings it to more people's attention, which increases the amount of people that convert to that ideology
Nice rant video Lemon! I also hate Jimmy Kimmel. I'm glad you're around to inform us of bullshit in Hollywood. #EmpLemon4President. EmpLemon has me on the EmpLemon fan side of EmpLemon's fanbase. Wait, Kim Jun Un? You meant Kim Jun OOF, right? Heheh.. Also, EmpLemon + TheGoldenKoopa76 = TheGoldEmpKoopLemon76 666. However, like the person above me, I too think there is more to complain about Jimbo.
Don't worry about pissing off liberals. I'm a bleeding heart hippie and a card carrying democrat myself, and I'm sick of "my team" being frothing closed minded divisive maniacs who can't see disagreement as anything but genocide. My only complaint is the first 5 minutes is a little too much you being like that kid calling you a smelly stupid-head, but it's not long before you're out of the hyperbole and into the facts. Well done.
The people asking that are, as you said in your “YouTube has been on a downward spiral” video, completely fine with watching an hour of someone playing Minecraft or Fortnite, but not with listening to a well-structured argument worth fighting for

i dont mind you make great points throughout the video and its really entertaining and because it long you might miss some things the first time that you can repeatedly watch the videos and hear something new or understand something differently the next time around. Keep up the good work Emp.
You probably don't mind the hate, and you shouldn't. These video essays and rants are very well done and are probably the most unbiased and well articulated videos on what most people are trying to find the words for. I feel like you genuinely gave him and his actions a judgment anyone would get if anyone else was accountable for them. I recently felt like fantano, another somewhat unbiased creator was slowly encroaching a liberal bias in a random video of his, but instead of writing him off altogether, I questioned why he and I would differ in opinion. And I think you know there are unknowns we can't answer, saying we don't have a solution (or "it isn't a problem" ) is probably the hardest thing to admit when delusions and feelings feed the dogma we live in (see communism for an example)
Whatever I just wrote a thesis on why I admire you, notice me senpai
I completely agree with your arguments, hopefully this will be on the Trending tab. Oh wait! It won't because people don't want to hear arguments that challenge their own thoughts and opinions.
This is a remake of a comment some jerk got it taken down
Emperor Lemon, My respect for you is very high and it is at it's highest because you are lampooning a man who deserves it once again, and I really advocated #tanktherewind by sending many far in wide the #tanktherewind messages
EmpLemon also while rewatching the video I found out that trump managed to get North Korea to stop testing nuclear warheads I have to commend that, and I don’t even like trump.
I love your video, Emporer Lemon, but I just wanted to say that the vast majority of greenhouse gases are produced by cars and other machinery, not livestock.
I just realized that ytps fall under that category of compilation and reaction channels in which "people take something and claim it as their own", is that why you stopped?
The jokes about Donald Trump's are so nasty because they have so much hatred towards Republicans that the harder jokes the laugh at are Republicans then then Democrats
EmpLemon You missed the time Jimmy Fallon had Trump on his show and didn't treat him like garbage, and liberals lost their minds. And Sarah Silverman appearing on a late night show actually dressed as a Nazi soldier. Kimmel also exploited the near-death of his own newborn child to attack Trump on a budget issue. He may be a hack and a loser, but he's a corporate asset, and that's why he's there.
To your credit the Behind the Meme guy was just doing his own thing. I think you might be impressed with his recent antics or at least get a kick out of his "Depression"
As of ten months after this comment was made, about 50% of the replies are the cancerous half of EmpLemon's fanbase (I like the Emp, though, so don't get the wrong idea).
No joke dude, my facebook was so full of politics I was pretty much constantly taking notice of politics. I dropped facebook and my happiness has bumped like 20%.
I'm near that point. I enjoy seeing my friends and family grow, but it's all politics or trying to get people pissed about something otherwise. I rarely see any good memes which kept me on the site. I think YouTube and Snap are about the only socials I'll keep.

I WONDER if it's just conditioning at this point... they've just been conditioned to laugh at Trump so much that they find it hilarious whenever someone says anything bad about him...
That legitimately pissed me off. Not that I like Trump (I don't) but the complete dismissing of someone's else criticism is, in part, why we have such a huge divide. Follow that up with him calling her ideas crazy and I wanted to scream. The south park episode about people in SF sniffing their own farts is so appropriate for the current political/social climate in America.

Young MC Roseanne has said some pretty stupid shit in the past but seeing Jimmy trying to ignore her question to make jabs at Trump legit pissed me off.
I honestly think that this EmpLemon makes really good videos. He is extremely level headed, makes educated, intellectual points, and provides the information in a simple, yet deep and meaningful way. I think that EmpLemon's videos of this type should get more veiws, but don't, because he makes ytp's and "complains about memes". If only this way of thinking was in modern media. (btw, I'm not trying to be a butt-kisser or anything, I just think that he brings up extremely good points.)
It stopped aging well the second he said it lol. Just a straight up insane generalization to make no matter the year, especially when you have a big platform and are trying to make professional, well-researched arguments
@lankey01 I hope not either. It's worrying that he doesn't comment on it because I would be totally ashamed of this vid if I made it ahahaha. But we can only hope
Who else will we talk about? We've been hating him for so long we don't know what to do now. It's become what defines Americans. Trashing our own fucking president. If we change now, who will we be?

@incinium z i hoped so. For example I watched snl scince i was in elementary and loved it but as it continued it got harder to watch a show that constantly mocks your own views. So I stoped watching it until recently. I hoped it can get back to how it use to be but nope it is still hard to watch. Also I don’t mind jokes about trump or stuff on my own views but when it is every single skit it gets frustrating.
@TN Colbert is absolutely the worst with politically charged bias. He wasnt like that when he did The Colbert Report. But when he switched to primetime or whatever one could call it, half of his show was just anti trump content for over 4 years. I completely quit watching his content because of this. He changed alot.
The guy is no longer in office and is irrelevant to the current state of affairs yet quite a number of publications have yet to put down reporting on him in an obsessive manner, almost as if they can’t think of anything else to write about. Who cares about him, just focus on the here and now
@PoisonBannana Damn whoever programmed you NPCs forgot to add any other insults other than “trump supporter”, kinda sad your grasping at straws and assuming someone who opposes your opinion as some one who supports trump
@Unknown Entity You spoke for two people. Lol you forgot to address that part. Also, you still didn't answer the question. Are you a trump supporter? That in itself is not an insult, but funny how you perceived it as such. Probably because it's common knowledge being a trump supporter is laughable. Anyways, are you a trump supporter or not? & Why do you feel the need to speak for OP and myself? Do you normally try to redefine reality to fit your terms?
@PoisonBannana you’ve replied to multiple responses with “trump supporter” and have been condescending in doing so, so it’s not to far of a stretch to think you use it as an insult for people who disagree with your politics. I don’t care much for trump, he’s not great but not terrible as a president. And where did I speak for you or OP? The first response wasn’t aimed at you, also why do you feel the need to respond to my original joke?
@Amberphylaxis trying to facilitate your safe space i see. Just mute/block me if you're offended by facts and logic. Or, do what your kind do best, and pretend facts are fake news. LOL
@PoisonBannana I haven't seen you present any "facts or logic" just insulting people who don't agree with you in comment threads. It's honestly pretty sad and pathetic. Also assuming I'm a trump supporter or anything else of the sort just because I pointed out you're making yourself look ridiculous is a pretty big leap there bud.
@Amberphylaxis What facts or logic do you require to satisfy your confirmation bias? I would assume anyone that sensitive and quick to want to facilitate a safe space would either be a trump supporter or just plain ignorant.
@Amberphylaxis Like the fact that Obama was out of office for 4 years and Trump was still talking about him? What facts do you need?
4,500 lawsuits and counting?
25 sexual assault cases? (1 with Jeffery Epstein)
Tax evasion?
Numerous federal/criminal investigations?
withholding evidence and witnesses in court?
Openly wishing the death and execution's of 4 African Americans who were innocent because he wanted to make sure, "just in case" that they weren't criminals?
Lets get into the spicy bits, like the entire leaking military secrets and meeting with monarchs and tyrants? Allowing N Korea to continue Nuclear testing, and causing the Hawaii scare??????
The leaking of US troops in Realtime to Russia on National TV? The knowledge of bounties on US troops?
@shritan "this reply section is so stupid" try not to get involved into conversations you had nothing to do with. And then lie about not saying anything.
@Cup Ramen I know right. All the colleges that are controlled by the elite capitalists, teach everyone with degrees and any form of education with Marxist communist doctrine, in order to threaten all those rich elites money after all.... Right???
Like the democrats are defunding the police so they can take your guns away with the defunded police ...
@Kirk Bupkis lol " old man smells kids" meanwhile trumps multiple sexual assault cases since the 90s. Not to mention the allegations, one with Jeffery Epstein and trump as defendants vs a 13 year old in 2016. Lol
@PoisonBannana Dude, its been 4 months since you started all this. Just walk away from the computer and go outside. Take a bike ride or just get some fresh air, I dont care what you believe in but this is just sad man, you're wasting away your time arguing with people online. For four months.
@PoisonBannana Not trying to be hostile here, trying to point out that you're wasting a LOT of time on here, and you're on a hair trigger it seems. You can go on about trump, that's fine, you're entitled to that. However, I'm telling you that you should seriously reconsider your time spent. Read a book for all I care, just spend your time in something you find actually enjoyable.
@PoisonBannana I don't know, could be for you. Though, I find it ironic how you posted earlier about having a discussion and people being close minded, now it's all about taking the piss. Do you really wanna continue this and just stamp over the message you tried to preach for the sake of a quick laugh over and over?
@PoisonBannana I'm just gonna leave one last comment because I'm not trying to be hostile, I'm just trying to explain that there's a better use of your time. Me posting in a 30 minute period now and again on the same day while it's the dead of night is not comparable to four months of head-to-wall-bashing. Sarcasm doesn't breed conversation, which you wanted to stimulate as previously stated, it just leaves everyone just hating each other more. I hope you have a good night or day wherever you are, just please consider your time well and how little we have of it on this fickle earth. Don't waste it away on this, troll or no troll.
@Cup Ramen well besides your deflecting and blatant lack of comprehension, your comment is about talk show comedians talking about jokes on popular figures. Yet, it still goes right over your head that trump still believes he won the election he clearly lost... You're still avoiding that. 😂
Venusian Viking It's relevant because it highlights and brings to public attention the UK's abhorrent free speech laws. Something is not made irrelevant just because you say it should be.
This video misrepresents liberal ideas and downplays real problems. I'm kind of disappointed because there are things I agree with in this video but then it goes into hating an entire party
@MyaTheGrandma who believes anything on FB? That whole shit is fake, from the friends, to the posts, to the "news". Apparently we older generations only watch the news.
@Tom Maclary You’ll be surprise! I shouldn’t have generalize older generations like that but this is based off what my own experiences with both my grandma and even my own parents( who are millennials) get a good chunk of their news from Facebook and believe in really wild conspiracy theories to the point it’s making them paranoid. But like I said social media is cancerous and the only one I can stand is YouTube. Also I agree with you that my generation is definitely swayed by social media more than the MSM.
I like your content, and I think you make a lot of great points. But sexual assault and sexual harassment IS common. Just because your own experience doesn't fit with something doesn't mean its wrong. That's called bias. There's plenty of things wrong with how we handle it, and #metoo is a great example on how not to handle it, but the issue is there and needs to be addressed.
i’m all for bashing jimmy kimmel but you sound like you interact with normal people in the real world about as much as he does. this could’ve been a focused takedown on the guy but it goes on so many bizarre uninformed tangents that sound like they’re just crafted in response to libtards on twitter.
I think you over-looked why politics / Trump were talked about so much - ratings. Though, it does make me wonder why Fallon didn't have higher ratings by picking up all the republican viewers wanting to watch late night shows since the others were so anti-Trump.
Also, at the end you grouped most liberals as having toxic beliefs, which is basically the same as what you are raging on them for, grouping most conservatives as racists. It made your call for rationalism disingenuous. Generalization rhetoric like this fuels separation and combative mentality, but maybe that was the goal for views. ;)
Emp didn't group the Liberals to having toxic beliefs. He was talking about radicals. I think he could have specified. I think he didn't specify enough. I feel like you are kinda upset with this and this makes the statement "but maybe that was the goal for views. ;)" seem petty. Even if he didn't specify on purpose, you cannot deny that many of his other points were not fueled only for views. If you did create this comment out of rage, i have one thing for you: nice cherry picking
@I still cant think of a name It seems you agree with me. He had a small disclaimer, "it's not all, it's many", but then went on and talked about liberals as a homogenous group with the whole party now having warped, toxic ideals. He never said radical liberals.
My comment about the views was showing the irony about how Emp points out the late night talk shows bash trump & conservatives for ratings, Emp calls for rationalization, but then Emp does that very same thing at the end, but in the other direction for his own "youtube ratings" (views). This isn't cherry-picking, it is a straight 3 minute segment of his video.
I would say I'm more disappointed than upset, because I hate this all "republicans are racists" and "democrats are antifa" thing going on in the US, and was initially happy to see Emp point it out, but then was sad to see him fall in line with the same rhetoric at the end.
side note: What does upset me is when people take tweets and use them as evidence to prove a point about what people are thinking. EVERYBODY does this. What do I care what Manny, Juice, & Asexual God say? For videos like this - whatever, he's a youtuber not a journalist, but when it's MSM doing it - that does cause me rage. You are giving voice to the few crazies out there, not to mention trolls, bots, & the online disinhibition effect. As a society, we need to start pointing out this lazy, biased reporting.
gives a laid out reason why trumps not an issue and some people wishing death and hiding their own flawd but showcasing others is awful audiance: ... jimbob: Thats nice but Trump sucks! audiance: uproars
Then again, liberals and conservatives these days are just two sides of the same toxic partisan coin anyway. If neither of them could come up with something worthwhile besides attacking each other for their oversimplified principles and cancel everything that's so ever so slightly offensive, be it a fairy tale adaptation or something far more mundane, nothing changes.
If I say it out that the live-action Snow White remake will be bad because a Hispanic actress is in the lead role, chances are I'd be shut down as racist, but racism isn't my motivation for criticising Disney's actions; I feel that the casting is just as racist as the racism Disney and so many others have pledged to stamp out. I'm not saying that Rachel Zegler is a bad actress in her own right either, but just because there are calls for a more inclusive society doesn't have to equate to tacking on various ethnicities into remakes or adaptations and make a lot of buck for making a (pretentious) statement. Disney could just get away with producing a film that celebrates Zegler's heritage than remake a seminal animated film in the most cash-grabbish way possible.
I feel nothing but pity and disappointment with anyone who is still picking sides in our current political landscape. What's the point of picking sides when nothing ever changes? centrism isn't even the answer either but picking a side when literally everything is just deep rooted propaganda created for the sole purpose of manipulation and division doing nothing is honestly more preferable.
Great video! Just the gunlaw stuff is maybe no the brightest thing you said. There is a huge link to guncontrol and shootings. Im german. In europe we don‘t have that kind of stuff happening. And believe me. We have bullying and a lot of sad kids!
Guns do more harm than good and the benefits do not outweigh the harm!
It’s almost as bad as when Jimmy Fallon made fun of Roger Water’s schizophrenic best friend on live television and Roger had to tell him “it’s not a funny story”.
Syd Barret: Had severe mental problems, like schizophrenia, took lots of psychedelic drugs especially LSD, had to leave the band entirely, among many other terrible things.
I’m so sad that Colbert isn’t funny anymore. The Colbert report was so good, and now I just pretend he died when he left the show. While John Stewart went on to be a well respected liberal political and social commentator, Steven Colbert went on the recycle negative trump info, now he doesn’t really have anything to say. I am not a trump fan by any means. It’s just sad to see someone you were a fan of slowly become irrelevant. Colbert should have takin a page from John Oliver’s book. And picked what was actually important to him instead of his late show, which fell into obscurity for me quickly from day one. RIP Colbert, RIP.
Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are both awful talk show hosts. Watch an old Carson or Letterman and you’ll notice the complete lack of wit and intelligent conversation In today’s talk shows.
@NCR Trooper You still have a point here tho. Her statement had some truth in it, but propably not the way she meant it. The change she wants to see in the US is disgusting. But one really should question why people voted for trump and how to avoid such nonsense. After the storm on the capitol everyone should see that there has to change something or your country will die
@Ray Covid has a 99.8% survival rate, it’s definitely been propagandized to hell, and it can’t be that bad if an entire medical frigate in New York’s harbor has gone completely unused and nurses have the time to do TicTok dances of all things. As for the election, I refuse to believe that anyone genuinely voted for that vegetable, and apparently the recent audit in Arizona agrees.
@Slender Man 186 lmfao Believe what you want to believe, that just doesnt mean its true. Trump said its fake if he loses, thats just the definition of a bad loser. He couldve taken action to prevent voter fraud but didnt. Seems like a bad president to me
@Ray “a fair election” Didn’t CNN just get ousted for spreading propaganda? And didn’t Time also release an article admitting to propaganda and said “the election wasn’t stolen, it was fortified,” which is basically the same a saying “we didn’t steal it, we borrowed it without asking?” And why are they so scared of the audit anyway? If there was no fraud, there shouldn’t be anything to worry about.
@Slender Man 186 did they? Do you have a source for both? As well as for the death rate of the corona virus. Pretty much the whole world, including the US, has a very much higher death rate, so I'm quite interested to see your source :)
@Slender Man 186 You are clearly not willing to give any proof for any of your claims - which is fine, since I know they are in fact wrong. But I hope you're recognizing that none of what you said is based on facts. I would never postulate such a number like 99.8% when I'm not 100% sure its true :D I really hope you're not doing this anymore
if you care enough to comment and ask someone for numbers to try to prove them wrong, youd care enough to find out for yourself, unless of course youre just doing it to try to make someone look bad and not to actually learn
@MR. Fodder thanks mate. »However, we can be almost certain that the survival rate here is not as high as 99.8%, because of the sheer number of people who have already died.« Thats exactly what I thought, the 99.8% are a wrong statement he heard from some stupid website or Fox news and then continues to spread throughout the internet
Besides: »Also, Covid-19 is not just dangerous because it kills people. The effects of “long Covid” are not well understood, but it is expected that Covid-19 will reduce the quality of life for some people who contract and survive the disease.«
@MR. Fodder I dont want to try to prove him wrong, I know that he is and dont give a damn about anyone elses opinion here. I want him to reveal his sources, since I expect them to be completely biased. As you see, he's making stuff up like "I'll get deleted if I post them here".
If someone claims something is true, its ALWAYS up to them to prove this and not to the others to google the result and check if it is BS or not. Otherwise I could claim 9/11 was an inside job, the US has never been to the moon, etc. And if you'd google it, you'd find results that support the claim, but all of them on bullshit websites. And it wouldnt be you job to go through all of them to see if anyone has a good point here - which they obviously dont, since both statements are wrong.
I think thats obviously the right way to handle facts. If anyone claims something is true and just tells you to google it, dont believe them.
@MR. Fodder thank’s dude, my comments get removed if I post links, I think my profile is blacklisted or something. I recently had a comment taken down for linking a .gov article about employment rates.
@Slender Man 186 jup, being wrong by 3% is huge. Even being wrong by 0.3-0.5% is huge. It means for the US a difference of 900.000 (if you're wrong by 0.3%) and 1.800.000 deaths (if you're wrong by 0.5%). Just calculate 300.000.000*0,002, 300.000.000*0,05 and 300.000.000*0,08, and look at the difference. This is pretty damn important in a pandemic. And obviously you have the claim from some weird website, since its a common false fact
@MR. Fodder now to Charlie chester. Why should one believe this? If you're searching for his name, the first article I see tells me to be sceptical of the "proof", that its not even clear if this guy ever worked for cnn. Is THAT really all it takes to convince you of something, no matter how false it may be? Grow up man. There are also a lot of things I wish to be true, but everyone who is older than 14 should know how to find trustworthy sources for their claims and not believe everything just because some website told them its true. This of course includes cnn aswell. Dont take all the things they say for the plain truth. But believing one side and not the other just because its more comfortable is not the right way. As an adult one should know this.
The source of the claim is "project veritas", which gets money from the trump foundation. It doesnt seem very unbiased, does it?
@Akiraspin no one is saying they got him elected. They interfered in your election and tried to help him. This has been proven, even by your own judges
Maybe Jimmy can talk about how 1/3rd of Congress are passport-holding citizens of another country, a non-extradition country, and it's always the same place.
Big boi Jimmy: so basically, orange man Crowd: *GASP!* Big boi Jimmy: Bad Crowd: *Applause* Haha Jimmy Kimmel do the big funi because orange man is bad
Meanwhile on the right: "In essence, Ocasio-Cortez, is a COMMUNIST." Crowd: cheers . "Wait there's more, Bernie Sanders is a COMMUNIST! They all are!" Crowd: cheers . "Tune in for when we talk about ABORTIONS! GUNS! And why this president is the best in the history of the Universe"
@SAVAGE TUNER Because what's what it is??? "What you think doesn’t matter it’s funny to me.What you think doesn’t matter it’s funny to me." Exactly my point.
That's another thing that's frustrating, when the audiences of these "comedians" clap over shit that 95% of Hollywood celebrities say, even when there's nothing remotely original.
@Fandom guy at least that's true. She continually pushing garbage socialist legislation, from her "green new deal" which was more socialist agenda than environmental solutions, to her brand new proposal to grant all illegal immigrants full welfare benefits, no questions asked.
Meanwhile, you cannot point me to any legitimate reason that "orange man bad." Questionable things, sure like his brilliant 'video games cause violence' and his support of red flag laws and his absolutely genius vape pen ban.
@Fandom guy hannity and Tucker Carlson aren't late night shows, those are editorial segments on fox new... So, try again. Conservative radio shows? Um... Ok... The left has those as well. And nearly the entire podcast market...for conservative comedy shows, we have Steven crowder, that's about it. And YouTube demonetized his entire channel despite them stating he hadn't broken any of their ToS.... Yet Vox REEEEE'd loud enough and YouTube dinged him anyway.
Your vid was so entertaining for 8 minutes suddenly shifted the tone when you inserted your “Anti-Liberals” radical views in a vid about a TV host not about a politician !
Weird that Jimmy Kimmel (host of The Man Show - a show that had a literal segment before the credits to slow-motion women bouncing on a trampoline) is now one of the champions of "respec wamen". Have the seething hate-mobs NOT heard of this?
Matthew Iler By him going to jail, you set a precedent for the fall of free speech. He is also not a Nazi. If you watched the video or any of his other ones you would know that.
Tribalism is what's wrong. We should be better than just agreeing with our pack. That's what makes it so easy to overreact. The tribe has done the thinking for you.
Tbh Roseanne completely demolished him in the debate.
“I didn’t change, y’all went so f*cking far off and lost everybody”
“Just chill dude. Just chill!”
And he laughs it off. Like she genuinely just told him how to be rational and his best response was “lmao you’re wrong. Orange man bad” applause from fake audience
@Everything Is Burning Like Fire I think you misspelled "man", or youre trying to be edgy or funny or something, and if thats your goal, please improve on comedy
If you think that Jimmy Fallon is the best late night host, you are lost. I mean, none of these shows are very funny. It's boomer humor but Jimmy Fallon has never been funny.
I usually consider myself a liberal, and once in a while I do need to get slapped in the face to get brought back to reality about certain ideas. I hate Trump, but I know that he's not the epitome of "Hitler Satan" the tv tells me he is. What I'm trying to say is, Thank you, EmpLemon for making me laugh and think with your quality content.
Deathpie24 Goop26 He's definitely not stupid, he just wasn't fit for being a president. Dude had no previous political experience. But I think he's getting the hang of it. Still is an ass though, but hey, we're not dead, so at least there's that.
I'll give him this..he's really good at making money. However, I wouldn't call him intelligent..at least not the current him. When I hear him speak he seem to ramble on and repeats himself constantly! Almost like he's at a loss for words. Maybe he's just old and the noggin just dont work as it used to. Still, its evident he knows whatever he says will be rejected by the people against him and taken as gospel truth to the people that support him.
there are a bunch of vids explaining just this, and why trump does that. So basicly, why he said all those controversial stuff during the republic primary was to gain attention. The media gave him 2 billion dollars worth of free advertising. Thats why he won the primary, cuz he was just everywhere (and the ability to call everyone differen names (lying ted, weak Jeb) crooked hillary, etc.)
Also, why he always repeats the same things over and over is because he follows this simple doctrine : whats gets repeated gets remembered. So thats why you always see all those mcdonald ads EVERYWHERE. the first few wont convince you, but as you see hundreds of ads about its delicious (not) burgers, your brain decides to go there. So when he makes these very very simple statements (which the media reports) after seeing it for a kabillion amounts of time, some people believe him. there are a bunch of other stuff, im just too lazy to wright this. Here are the videos:
I just hate identity politics. I think we need small government. Few and smart regulations and minimal taxes and handouts. I don't think you need to be a genius to enact those beliefs. Its hilarious how people label me as a facist, but that involves a large overcontrolling government.
The fact that I actually consider myself smart in America is depressing. It hurts my head to see how worthless and just embarrassingly stupid so many people are. I really hate it. It would be so much easier to not be even slightly aware of the true problems of society while millions with far easier lives about how they have the answers when the average adult pig has more of a clue than them. It’s really stressful.
Ignorance is bliss. What I'd give to be a braindead, non self-aware drone who just does what he's told and believes what he hears. Because it sucks seeing through a veil of half-assed lies and having people claim I'm the weird one for pointing out when things don't add up.
I'd be real curious to see how all these late night shows have plummeted in ratings since papa Joe got in office. Now that trumps gone, their audience is gone (i.e. skin head lesbians.)
I've actually dispised celebrity culture for such a long time. Yet, I could "tolerate" it because it never seemed to pollute the wider society in any substantive way. I think people can like whatever they want as long as it does not negatively affect others. However, especially after Trump's election in 2016, celebrity culture, (funny how he actually comes from the same culture), and by extension, the mainstream media seemed to latch onto his incomitance in a parasitic way: driving themselves into a similar madness. These absurdities have compounded in academia, which often produces a generation that pits itself against the very governmental and economical principles that allow it to exist. Finally, causing America to instigate political polarization that rivals the 1850's. This situation seems hopeless when we only address the symptoms of the issues instead of pondering their causes. Most true intellectuals can't even discuss solutions to this problem because of censorship, sometimes more explicit than others. Summarized: we're fucked unless we can open ourselves up to uncomfortable discussions and ideas that go beyond reductive stereotypes of the "other side."
Yeah I believe that if we start to see the other side and actually get uncomfortable with how things our this toxic fuckin culture just might change. Rn it feels like I’m being scrutinized for anything I might say or do or think just cuz one side thinks that I’m a fuckin idiot for saying something they don’t like.
I remember when the MAN SHOW came out and I was a young teenager....even then he wasn't the kind of man I wanted to be and his cohost was even worse about EVERYTHING you describe. I think that's how he skirted by almost, folks like...well he's not that guy
the amount of times you subtly use jewish coded villains as graphics when talking about people taking advantage of someone or something makes me uncomfortable. example in this video occurs @ 5:19
I think the core of the argument stands, but in the end too much of it is just that - arguments. presented as sole facts. I guess what Emp thinks 'liberals' are so terribly guilty of.
I love guns and support the nra, that doesnt mean i hate you for disagreeing emp. The problem with america is nobody can agree to disagree. I love your content and dont think less of you just because of your opinion
lambda gaming They also can't just partially agree and disagree with someone on separate topics. They try to make everything black and white which just isn't how the world works. They think emotionally instead of mentally.
@DALX. & ADNAMA Media not in a few months. skimmed through the video and all I can find is him shitting on Kimmel and some stuff about liberals being big mad about Trump. Genuinely curious, I might be forgetting something
Yeah, that was pretty uninformed of him to say. North Korea matters to American geopolitics exactly as much as the USA cares and not an iota more. The country only exists as a hedge for China and America to play chess in Southeast Asian geopolitics, and previous administrations at the end of the day refused to meet with their leaders as that would legitimize their petty Dictatorship on the international stage. You don't treat a yelping Chihuahua to a seat at the table. The fact remains that Trump didn't even get anything out of it after all that fanfare, not that NK exports anything of value.
In case that wasn't clear, Trump got outplayed by fucking Kim Jong-Un. Let that sink in.
I doubt it, at least at this point. He seems to be pretty anti-capitalist. I mean the dude built his channel dealing with Viacom’s bullshit. Maybe when this video was made he was.
Network tv is garbage. As somebody who follows comedy those shows are where comedians go to die. Most of it is writers jimmy gets paid by the network to say whatever they want same with Trevor Noah, Colbert etc at another time maybe it was different but for the most part these shows are advertising and propaganda.
Jimmy Kimmel, while not my cuppa tea, is not as bad as Fallon. Seeing him scramble to protect Amazon from John Oliver, to stop people knowing how repulsively they treat workers was actually cringe inducing.
wow Roseanne actually sounded extremely reasonable and I find it funny that the media created a storyline that she was mentally unstable during this period
@Shadi AlbissThere is a legitimate use for knives in household. F. e. to cut meat. Guns are only used to kill. Guns are also way more dangerous because they allow the shooter to stay out of range and are deadlier.
@Seriöser Name that is a prime example of why it’s a complicated because on one hand it can be seen as a dangerous weapon and you are right but at the same time the fact that it is a dangerous is the best form of defense because tension comes in fast and help comes so slow.
Emplemon, I’m curious what you think about the situation you addressed in this video after four more years of, not only the same issues, but the considerable increase in the level of madness exhibited by the Lunatic Left.
So, it's like Soloviov in Russia but who don't like president of his time? Wow that means both Russia and USA have pretty the same instruments! Who can imagine that
@Danale Milloy idk wtf you're talking about. Cassie Anthony the most KNOWN case in the USA, the mother that murdered her child in the eyes of the public, was not convicted and people still harass her to this day. Why you gotta make it a black thing?
@Danale Milloy can I be real Cosby and R.Kelly I defend up to the point there was too much proof to keep it up. I still defend O.J. As for the white dudes you talked about I can't say how I feel and what should happen to them because you would have to report me to Law enforcement. With that said I hope you and your family are safe and you are making in this crazy world we live in today.
@Christo Bobbo Oh yeah, a documentary! A medium known for overexaggerating and outright making up information for the sake of making the story "more interesting" and "hooking" the viewer more! Guess that makes the man 100% guilty without a doubt!
I love how unbiased you are. I support Trump but I'm fine with you not liking him, because you're completely unbigoted, and you don't hate him for no reason.
@I’m with English I implore you to read the works of philosopher Umberto Eco and his "14 common traits of fascist ideology" I will list them bellow,
co is firm in claiming “There was only one Nazism,” he says, “the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls “Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism” down to 14 “typical” features. “These features,” writes the novelist and semiotician, “cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.”
The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”
The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”
Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.”
The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”
Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”
Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”
Machismo and weaponry. “Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality.”
Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”
Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”
Was thinking of subbing for a while but once I saw the end if this video it was a no brainer thank god you aren't another braindead npc you have earned another sub sir do great things!
@bert been tryna think of a response when I realized "oh yea this is the internet, who cares what this bert guy thinks" but then I also thought why in the first place you wrote this comment, then I realized......
Your actually the main character and this entire reality is your dream and we are all just npcs expect for you bert, that's right bert you are the azathoth of this plane of reality. Oh bert your absolute god opinion just triumphs over all!
I know this is a 2 year late comment but allow me to thank you in full EmpLemon. I know these videos take a really long time to make and is even harder to post because some of your current audience dislikes the “political videos”. Anyways thank you for sharing your very vital standpoint in that Jimmy Kimmel is truly a tumor to our political society. You have once again have entertained me and have opened my eyes to a pest on national television going by the name of Jimmy Kimmel Live! All I can do right now is say thank you for your efforts towards true entertainment and helping us all learn a little something while at it.
Honestly, I don't like Jimmy Kimmel but I also can't agree with having him cancelled for past mistakes. Even if they're big fucking mistakes. That's about the same as happened for James Gunn and I doubt anybody would say him having lost the role as potential director of future GotG movies over old tweets was a good thing. Oh well, just the liberals tearing eachother apart.
@Obama Gaming The difference is that James Gunn never put himself in a pedestal as the greatest fighter for social justice. Nor did James Gunn lecture us peasants on his movies on how we should think.
@Obama Gaming "I can't condone a guy being arrested for a murder he committed in the past". Interesting perspective. Absolutely wrong, but interesting. Shit you do has a way of coming back around. Especially if you're pretending to be morally superior to others, and have a spotty at best past.
@Ahuman I don't think it should be a wrong that can't be righted. People can change from racist mindsets (wow who knew).
It's not like murder where you take away someone's right to live, and pay for it with your own. Specifically, racist jokes doesn't tread on anyone's rights, it's just ethically wrong.
How can people grow if we don't let them learn from their mistakes?
I agreeed with a lot of your points except for the fact that “only rich men get away with sexual assault”. That’s statistically false, most rapes are unreported and therefore the men get off Scott free.
If they're unreported whose fault is that? Of course they get away with it if it's not reported. He's talking about rich people getting away with rape that has been reported.
Lemon, I just want to say that I think you`re onto something with where you`re taking this channel of yours.
While I first noticed you because of your old YTPs, you first caught my eye in this particular manner with your "best memes of 2016" video. There, you explained how the "TRIGGERED" meme, as well as some others, was a symbol of the growing influence of the internet`s private culture as a sort of counterbalance to the outside "mainstream." Now, I think your channel has become the primary symbol.
While the vast majority of YouTube channels stay in their own little private world, you are one of the select few that have actually used this channel to critique subjects and media outside of this website. In fact, your mention about Kimmel being "mainstream television" is what inspired me to write this comment. What other channel would even think of doing a thirty minute video on something like this?
I feel like you are sort of a forerunner, or a tester, for the hidden culture of the internet to slowly reveal its power and actually interact more (for better or for worse) with the mainstream. You first discussed how memes were being used as political commentary, and they (in your infamous BTM video) exposed a very potent threat to an accurate outsider perception of meme culture. We are slowly becoming brave enough to interact/critique "the other side."
Your channel may very well be foreshadowing a sort of mass-realization in the near future that there are two different cultures that have formed in today`s world. I`m not sure where that realization will lead however - I really hope it leads to a calm recognition of each group`s sphere of influence, rather than any sort of "culture war." If used correctly, this sort of bridge of recognition could be used to achieve a peaceful relationship between these two worlds.
In any case, I would definitely say that you are ahead of your time, whether you realize it or not.
16:04 I agree Kimmel's point was fatuous but 'the rest of society doesn't sexually harass women'?!? That's one of the maddest things I've ever heard. Sexual harassment of women is still a huge problem in every culture to varying degrees. I had no idea how bad until it started being reported more and I asked the women in my life about it - they all had a scary amount of stories.
He said “most” men don’t sexually harass or rape women. There are definitely some but those guys don’t give a shit what is right or wrong and there is nothing we can do about it besides throw them in jail
@Shadi Albiss He didn't say 'most'. Another quote, 'the only men who sexually assault women who get away with it are rich powerful men'' - absolute nonsense. Men from all walks of life get away with this every day, and the vast majority do not end up in jail.
@Puny Pixel he said the “vast majority” yes there is assault obviously I’m not denying that for a second I’m just saying it’s not as common as it is implemented. I’m sorry to hear about the women of your life.
I love Emplemon, even though he disagrees with what I agree with, he still puts respect on to the other side, and not support his personal side of the spectrum. Dont know if this sentence makes sense, its been a couple months of isolation
oooof, that didn't age well. "after Trump embarrassed the democrats in the 2016 election" LOL yaa, in fact he's so good at doing that, he got carried away utterly humiliated himself and the republicans in the 2020 election. Although Kimmel isn't funny, certainly the least funny of all the late night hosts. He has a weird pacing and nothing really lands.
Yeah and he lost the 2016 popular vote! How old was this dude when he made this? This isn’t so much about Kimmel and more about Trump. I was expecting stuff about The Man Show for sure.
@William Fryer remember how Australia's suicide is the same, crime rate is falling at a similar rate, and spiked after the gun buyback? I remember, cause it proved that the only thing gun control does is create a crime spike, and then business as usual.
I’ve mostly stopped trying to talk about my political opinions because I’m sick of trying to have intelligent discussions with a bunch of people who think that it’s perfectly justifiable to insult the character of another person over a petty political disagreement. Too many straw men arguments to try to work around. The majority of my friends are liberal (my own fault for being the rare case of a conservative who is interested in the performing arts) and I’d prefer to not lose friends just because people can’t handle the fact that just maybe, not everybody agrees with their ideas.
Liberals have gone insane but the right wing hasn't?? You sound libertarian. You also are confusing liberals with leftists/socialists. They are diff ideologies.
They at least pretend to for money. It's just TV's click bait. You get both sides all worked up in hopes they watch more. I'm sure a lot of these people know what they're saying is dumb, but do it for the FAT stonks.
@Elio You liked your own comment and of course, the person with the anime PFP is the same guy who thinks Trump is the worst president ever. The dude improved peace relations with multiple countries in the Middle East and Africa, he opened up jobs, made peace relations with North Korea, made Space Force an actual thing, etc. He did a lot that is good.
well I mean when someone is running the country, it's fair enough to take it personally because it may effect you. what's not fair enough is to do it in a boring ass manner like these talk show hosts do
@Full Metal Theorist no, the job decline started as he was elected. Looking at charts from before covid, you can still see pretty heavy decline. Even if it was because of covid, saying he made lots of jobs would still be incorrect
@Scott Riggleman ? I used only statistics and confirmed links, if you can disprove them with legitimate sources I'll happily change my opinion

@KindaKaon your statistics are trash, unemployment was at a record low before Covid, mainly because companies that exported their labor to China were taxed higher, encouraging them to build factories here and hire American workers. Also, The Guardian, really? This is what Emp is talking about, they’re biased media.
@Full Metal Theorist Gotta say, I'm in the LGBT group and never in my life looked favorably on Ellen. Just that weird feeling that she was an unpleasant, unkind, unbearable being. Didn't have a reason so I kept it to myself. Of course it was pretty satisfying when people started to expose her as a raging...you know. Kinda bummed that she's bounced back.
I think the video fell a bit victim to the same behavior it criticizes jimmy for. Especially by the end, by picking out the most extreme and problematic liberal views and attributing it to the whole party.
yeah I only disagreed with around the end when he said stuff like representation doesnt matter and yt priveldge isnt real, it felt kindof reactionary and way to emotional rather than giving actual points, it's like smaller social problems cant be advocated for or theyll be compared to way bigger ones like war lol
Jimmy Kimmel sucks. But I'm really disappointed in Emp and some of the stuff he said in this one, like the comment above says. And implying California teaches.. hating America in their schools? Fucking yikes dude, college and the classes they teach are voluntary, and I personally believe standing up for freedoms against tyranny and oppress shows you LOVE america. This.. is disappointing.
You could legitimately become a major politician with a few years of education and a degree in my opinion. You’ve got a political mindset already, straight away, you have a large following made up of (out of the ones who regularly watch your videos) mostly moderately intelligent people, and you great communication skills. But most importantly, you truly care about the wellbeing of the people who follow you. It’s proven via this video and the ones you’ve made that are similar in structure, which encourage them to go out and thoroughly research a topic before forming a strong opinion; and they succeed in part due to you showing your new strong opinion through a well researched and produced video on youtube while sprinkling in a few meta comments that ensure the right message is brought across.

16:22 It actually is a serious problem and many people do get away with it. You realize how often it happens once you get close to many women and all of them admit to have been sexually harassed, many admit to have been sexually assaulted, and a few have them have even been raped. It has been getting better over the years but many people do get away with it because it can be very hard to prove that you were raped in court. Especially considering that many times the rapist is someone they’re in love with, they become traumatized and conflicted and by the time they come forward its far too late.
Edit: I would like to say that obviously its a much bigger problem in hollywood, but at the same time its a much bigger problem outside of hollywood. I’m a bit more worried about the millions of women that deal with sexual harassment/assault and rape than the few thousand that do in hollywood.
"It's like they're so out of touch with real people, thanks to their inbreeding of ideas, that they have no clue what's actually going on in America." Wow. Deadass describes my community and school.
How was this pro trump, he was pointing out that the late night shows were fixated on Donald trump during his presidency, he literally says “and I don’t even like trump and disagree with a lot of his policies” just because he says one good thing about someone and points out a obvious hate for him, doesn’t automatically mean he likes trump
Even if he DID watch it. He would just shove it off as being conservative propaganda or some shit like that, blame the whites and talk shit about trump.
16:05 it's incredibly ignorant to claim that sexual harassment is only a problem in Hollywood and not prevalent in workplaces and educational spaces. It's actually exceeding common and men frequently do not get proper punishment for it. It's very easy for men to ignore this problem as a whole because it doesn't effect them and they don't hear about it because it's well hidden by other men in positions of power. It's not just a Hollywood problem
It's a Hollywood problem because celebrities have a perfect combination of popularity, power and money. Very few people in workplaces and educational spaces have all 3 of these.
@goodtimeglory Never said Trump wasn't bad but when every fucking talkshow is orange man bad 24/7 its gets old quick and is nice to see someone avoiding that and doing something original instead
Jimmy fallon the one with no personality that laughs about everything and looks like he is afraid that he gets beaten up by his guests the whole time? K
I respect how you talk about political issues in America and don't claim to have all the answers like so many people that make this kind of content do.
And I have shared the same opinion of Jimmy Kimmel for a long time. He's is an unthinking, untalented, and unoriginal waste of people's time and hurts the current state of political discourse in the US.
4:15 - Let's just take a moment to consider that the same smug liberals who endlessly lecture everyone else about racism, did a sketch entirely based around "Laugh at the foreigner with his funny accent".

Dont think anyone actually cared about jimmy. Hes obviously a better host than a comedian. The dad jokes are just that. Dad jokes. No one cares about that stuff it's just filler waiting for the next guest.
G D A T I mean I don’t like the NRA cus they’re very clearly biased.
During the 70’s they partnered up with the California state government to restrict open carry law’s because of the activity of the Black Panther Party.
But nowadays when people are actually getting shot and dying on the regular they’re all pro second amendment.
Where was their enthusiasm when black people were trying to stop police brutality?
"This cant be prevented" says only nation where this frequently happens

Criminals don't care about the law either so basically if you take guns away then your just going to have innocent people as sitting ducks because criminals will always find away to get a hold of what they what. The dark web for example sells all sorts of guns and other crazy weapons so they can still get them. Like another comment said too it's like how trying to make laws against drugs doesn't help prevent them at all.
If you pay attention a lot of criminals are taking advantage of no gun zones now because sense nobody at those places has a way to defend themselves it's an easy target.
I don't like using guns myself because using one makes me really nervous but I can understand why a person would want to carry one for self defense and they can come in handy in dangerous situations.
@GinkgoPete Yeah, except it's not about something prevented. It's about whether that prevention costs freedom. Adolph Hitler prevented domestic mass shootings by banning guns. Stalin prevented mass political protesting by throwing people in gulags. Pol Pot prevented crime by killing dissidents.
Americans, or what's left of a dying breed of them, understand that a dangerous free society is better than a safe totalitarian one.
Surprised that in Switzerland you are required to own a weapon. And yet, no mass shootings happen there. Its not about the law, but the people. The people, or person, may be going through a period in their life where they believe killing the problem is the right solution. This can be linked to Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, even the US finds that killing the problem is the solution. But, back to the person. These people are some of the most sick and demented people on Earth. Instead of finding out why the person, or people, caused the shooting we assume that the law is to blame. Our right to bare arms is not just about self defense, but its about another topic looked over. If the US falls under a government take over, the people have a right to form their own militia and end it. Just like how we united in 1776 to fight against the Tyrannical British Empire. People ignore the right way (finding the source to what lead to the person's mind thinking that it was a good idea to obtain a weapon and eliminate the problem) and go for the wrong way (Blame the law we made hundreds of years ago and had no problems with until our modern day). I live in this nation, and I am afraid to live in it any longer. Thanks America for making me fear my own Nation.
@C compare the consume pf alcohol (a legal social acceptable drug) with lsd (an ilegal one) or even tobacco (a legal but in the modern time kinda no social acceptable) Wont solve it, but it would help to only sale hunting arms to normal, sane hunters or other guns to, for example, security guards that assault rifes to everyone that wants and of course it would help.
So, I live in U.S. Kentucky. My particular county is so full of mdthheads, pill addicts, and clinically insane bastards, that we genuinely feel fear. I have had a shotgun in my room for over 10 years, yet I've only fired it twice, both times were to check it worked properly when I first bought it. Many people here hung for food because our medium wage isn't enough to pay any more then average rent on an apartment, so we fish, gather, and hunt to supliment our diets. I have seen a man shot, with what I later learned was an illegal .38 revolver as a child. He was shot during a meth deal home wrong. The only thing that saved my family sitting in a car was my mom calling on the phone while having a gun in her hand. The guys looked at us and almost attacked us to tighten up loose ends. I wasn't even ten. I'm white, southern male, and I support guns, because without them, I would've been dead from a drug deal gone wrong because we happened to pull over at a convenience store because my baby brother needed a diaper change. Fuck ignorance that leads people to think not having guns would stop violence. Violence will happen regardless, guns are just an equalizer that allows old folks and children to defend themselves against middle aged criminals who would kill them indiscriminately otherwise. Learn something, instead of being ignorant to those that think guns cause violence.
@Joshna Frank yeah do you realize that banning guns works both ways. Like yeah criminal could in theory still get guns illegal but for example in europe is almost imposible cause of how hard regulations are. Criminal in the us always have gun cause you can get assault rifles in the supermarket sorry to hear that you live in a bad hood but that doesn't make owning guns so easaly a normal argument if guns were limited for example to a hunter only hunting guns after very hard medical and background exams or to security guards it will not be that easy to anyone to have a gun a commit crimes with it. Crimes would still exist but it woyld not be as rare maybe it work for you one time to have a gun but next time it might not be the same and im prerty sure more criminals kill other peoplw that gun owners kill criminals in self defense
So the8 best strategy is to do nothing until by magic or miracle the perfect specific solution comes to the problem? Yo have the whole world to compare yourself and see how many shootings are. And it wouldn't be total banning if you are a hunter and you pass a very specific test and background check you can own hunting weapons, not military or handguns. And if you are a security guard you can own a pistol if you a qualified. It't not like that simpsons episode where the zombie cowboys take springfield there would be guns, to the people that should have guns. And yes crime would still exist and criminals could still get to own a gun but it wouldn't be as easy as today and you wont rank the first world crounty with murders and school shootings
@brc You don't know much about U.S. if you think we can buy a gun in a supermarket that's fully automatic. Also, learn there is more to an issue then extremes. It's a very complicated issue that won't be easily solved, so the answer would be extremely complicated and need a lot of support to work, which is why there is no current perfect solution to it, cause there will never be a perfect solution. I'd rather not discuss this further, because I doubt either of us will gain anything for talking about it like this. Have a good one.
My last comment on this because I realize you folks forget there is a person behind these comments who actually thinks and had a brain instead of a terrible 2d joke from Facebook or 4 Chan or wherever you go to look at stupid shit. Ok. Regulations are good, bans are bad. Guns can be bad, but aren't the reason behind the violence. There are countries where they are embroiled in chaos and bloodshed because of guns and drug trade being rampant, but the guns yet again aren't the reason for why the fighting actually happens, unless someone shoots a guy to get the gun. There are also countries who have slacker gun control and manage to have little violence or bloodshed when compared to outher countries. It's not something that is easily solved because people are people. Each country must tackle the issue differently due to various factors. Stop comparing U.S. with other countries, because our culture is so vastly different that an answer the EU or other Organizations might've cooked up simply won't work. You can't fire .38 bullet from a .22, so why do you think an issue the .22 has would be solved by an answer that was used by a .38? Comparing a monkey to a fish is unfair, for each has their own beneficial points. A fish can't climb, and a monkey won't swim as well. I hope this answers your critisms enough, because I don't want to be a fool attempting to convince the entirety of the internet's userbase in my ideal or opinions validity. Tl;Dr: It's not a simple issue with a uniform answer, if it was, we would've fixed it by now.. Worry about this complicated issue and others on your own homefront first. Once you find the answer to world peace then come sharing and preaching, but for now. Goodbye and have a nice day.
Robert Gaudet while I don’t really take a position on the NRA as an organization, I find it disappointing that the NRA even needs to exist, given that if politicians actually respected the constitution, it wouldn’t need to.
@GinkgoPete He's saying that if the governmement can take away guns, who's to say the government can't take away everything, and then people will be unable to stop the government because they have no means.
To be fair imo, if you were to somehow be politically neutral while still making fun of presidential controversies, there would be significantly more content from Trump since that dude is a lolcow on par with Chris-chan
I love how even though you gave a warning that you were gonna talk about politics/Trump people still disliked immediately lmao people suck, they hate on anything or anyone if the media talks about it enough. (not trying to offend anyone but i'm talking about liberals) and please don't cancel me i'm not on either side, i'm independent and just giving my honest thoughts.
You know. I don't find Fallon all that funny, even though everything is a riot to him, but I respect his decision to not stoop to the Easy source for ratings
I’m at the part where he is taking about sexual harassment against women and while it is a problem I still think it is a problem that it isn’t talked about when it happen to men because “they always want sex you can’t sexually assault a man” which isn’t true and it infuriates me
great work, thank you for finally exposing this guy. Like, I really thought I was the only one that thought he was a hack. It doesn't come up much in conversation but anytime someone makes me watch a Jimmy Kimmel video I wanna go into it. Keep up the quality content
not only is Jimmy Kimmel not funny but he acts like he's hilarious. It's quite cringe inducing and was where Stewart was heading near the end,(probably one of the reasons why he decided to retire when he did).
EmpLemon: I cannot stand Jimmy Kimmel. Jimmy Kimmel is one of the most insufferable individuals I have ever witnessed. I have a theory that no one actually likes Jimmy Kimmel. I think at most people just tolerate him. I find really hard to believe that there are any die-hard Jimmy Kimmel fans out there. Jimmy Fallon: You clearly never witnessed me yet
I remember going on vacation to the United States about 5 or so years ago to Chicago. I remember the content on TV being really bad. And the news wasn't any better. It's all just making things more dramatic than they actually are, and always assuming the worst case scenario. I've never really watched a late night host in that time, but after looking at this video, I think that as a European it's safe to assume that national US television is garbage.
My theory: traditional box or flatscreen TV is practically dead, and is being replaced by the internet. Why pay for TV, when you can just pay for internet and get the same things you can do on TV, and more?
It's more that drama and sensationalism gets more views rather than intelligent, ration, and nuanced speaking on a subject matter, or at least the US entertainment establishment thinks it does.
late night shows now are just socially acceptable forms of bullying. Whether it be under the umbrella of politics or just making fun of celebrities or whatever, most of the original content they produce is just making fun of others, and apparently that’s top notch comedy.
it pains me that this guy has so many guest stars I care about on his show. if you want an example, I Don't Know How But They Found Me or Mark Rober are people I actually recognize. unfortunately I would always have to sit through Jimmy.
I agree with the points made in this video about Jimmy Kimmel and how shitty his show is, but there was a legitimate reason to criticize Trump's meeting with Kim Jong-Un. Every president before Trump avoided meeting with him or any North Korean leader to avoid giving diplomatic legitimacy to North Korea's tyrannical shitty poo poogovernment. I love this video lmao, but every time I watch it that point just bothers me.
There are better examples of Trump doing a not bad thing and the media ripping him than that.
So ignore the problem and pretend it doesn't exist? Or is it better to start laying a foundation for discussions to take place and possibly change things in the future?
I remember listening to Kimmel spin the Las Vegas shooting into a political commentary completely ignoring the families hurt and destroyed. I personally didn’t agree with Trump and the FCC and Net issue really pushed me further away. I however thought it was super fucked that Trump got shitted on 24/7 and the only ones that didn’t shit on him were Fox and well it’s Fox sooo. Late Night shows are “cultural tumors” they’ve become so derailed from comedy or anything remotely sane.
When Kimmel was on the man show I didn't mind him and when he started in late night I still didn't mind. When he fully leaned into politics I couldn't stand him anymore. These people should really learn to keep their opinions to themselves
All the parts about Jimmy Kimmel are great, really shows how ridiculous his political mindset is.
There were definitely a couple misses like at 28:45 implying that helping poor and sick people are good but helping gay and black people is somehow bad. You can... do both?
Also the whole idea that race relations aren't a problem in America, as if the civil rights movement somehow cancelled racism. In 2017, 61% say the country still needs to make changes for racial equality - even today there's things like African-American people suffering hiring discrimination and significantly longer prison sentences, or things like the bill in the Texas senate that, if passed, will strip the teaching of MLK's speeches and remove the teaching that the KKK is morally wrong from the school curriculum.
Anyway, it's been 3 years and your political opinions have likely developed, just thought I'd give my 2 cents.
facts bro, it shocked me too when he said race relations aren't a problem. I also thought it was weird that he put a picture of Barack Obama to justify what he was saying
I don't think race relatipns are a ptoblem either. Black americans face lots of big problems most notably the high single motherhood rate which causes much more problems down the line. I thinj that people recognise blacks face tgese problems but they misattribute whats exactly causing it and many people assume that a group of people are causing it. So people think white people or rich people. Now that white americans are facing bigger problems now due to the higher single motherhood rate theres a group of white nqtionalists blaming their problems on minorities and rich people that are traitors. All the problems facing these groups are very real i just think you and many others are mistaking whats causing them
What he was meaning at 28:45 is that being black or gay is a superficial difference from white or straight. There is no difference and they should be treated equally. And he meant that we should help the people who are actually in need instead of focusing on the ones with labels that change nothing
I liked his whole thing with Matt Damon and Sarah Silverman. That whole thing produced some actually funny content. Can't say I've enjoyed much from him since then
While I do agree with a lot of points you made, I will disagree with you on a few things (ie microagressions and race relations) but overall, good vid.
Yo as a minority in nearly every facet of my "identity", tell me how things that yall consider "microaggressions" do any harm at all? Theyre not oppressive, not malicious, and are even LESS harmful than actual intended insults. Like when people go "lol watch out hes a lil crazy" in reference bc i have a psychosis illnesses, or "so whats your real name?" bc im trans, or "shouldnt you be good at math?" bc im asian- its literally just people wording things wrong or not having a broader scope of understanding. It doesnt pose any real problems, and if anything, "microagressions" are just weak points in the deliverers perception that give you an opportunity to be like "yo i know you didnt mean nothing by that but you couldve worded that better/yo you do realize that stereotypes dont apply to everyone in a group even though they do have some relevance to a portion of it, right?"
And as for the "race relations" its a problem manufactured by the media like Kimmel himself, who paint one side as the sole aggressor and the other as the perpetual victim. If media promoted self accountability and provided aid to help people instead of putting all that money into creating division, the imaginary problem that only exists because people say it does would ✨ fade ✨.
And the things i provided are even consider more harsh than "microaggressions" by most rabid leftists, who consider "be a man" to be a Real microaggression, instead of just being a traditional saying that focuses on gender roles in our culture rather than insisting that every gender HAS to fit those gender roles (depending on how its used).
i disagree with you with race relations but i respect how you were still able to understand and enjoy the video even though you disagreed on some parts
Thinking any sort of agreement with the North Koreans is worth the paper it’s signed on is… remarkably naive. Dunno why both parties feel the need to do it.
Jimmy Kimmel is such a hack. And the way certain people harped on everything Trump did and try to spin it as bad was ridiculous, and made me lose respect for a lot of people. Just because someone is a piece of shit doesn't mean you have a free pass to make thing super or deliberately misinterpret thing about them.
Of all the things you could have used to make fun of Jimmy Kimmel, though, this was an odd one. Everyone thinks it's good for us to negotiate with North Korea, but the generally accepted deopolitical wisdom is that it is not good to give rogue leaders the prestige of meeting directly with the president of the US when they haven't been living up to agreements.
People were making fun of him meeting directly with Kim Jong Un and also proclaiming that he would personally get the guy to change his tune. You send professional diplomats for that, for a variety of reasons. Trump absolutely should have been made fun of for that, and the fact that you don't seem to understand that really made me think a lot less of you, emperor lemon.
I had no clue they were putting more money into education, as my school is still broke as hell. A lot of kids can’t even get to school, because the bus drivers keep quitting due to low wages.
I feel like your argument that liberals have gone to the far extreme is also easily said about conservatives. The problem isn’t the extremism of one group, it’s the polarization of politics as a whole
Exactly. Everyone wants to say “ewww being a liberal is bad and you guys can’t think!!! Republicans are so smart.” Republicans are just as bad. We’re liberals mad when Trump won? Yes. What they do? They cried and complained, that’s a completely normal response if someone you don’t like becomes president. What did Republicans do when a Democrat becomes president? They call all the voting “rigged” and then storm the capital because the votes are “rigged” and the election was “stolen.” Honesty both parts of the the far left and the far right are absolutely atrocious and toxic. I feel like this video and it’s political stuff contained is completely outdated. In this video it tries to paint being a liberal “bad” and being “crazy” when in fact nowadays it’s completely flipped after the capital riot. Being a Republican now is considered “bad” and “crazy” due to the nonsense they spew out till this day about the “rigged election.” So ya the stuff stated about liberals in this video is completely flipped and is now labeled on the Republican Party it’s honestly the funniest thing ever. They hated far left liberals so much they literally became and act like them rn except they’re Republicans. That’s politics for ya lmao.
The only reason why he focused on liberals is because it's a video on Jimmy Kimmel who himself is a liberal If Jimmy Kimmel was a conservative and did this he'd say the same things
Because yes no matter what side of spectrum you are you DON'T go around asking ladies to guess what's in your pants and disguise it as "comedy"
@Joseph Huang he literally just showed Jimmy Kimmel asking women to check his pants though, and Jimmy used it as a "comedy skit" That's disgusting and unacceptable no matter what side you stand on so no it's very much relevant
@Joseph Huang but he's got the literal video proof of Kimmel putting politics into nearly everything he does... so what's the problem? Not to mention Jimmy shut down and flatly dismissed a very reasonable response regarding the unending onslaught talking heads covering politics from that woman in her interview calling her crazy
Look he even mentions how the conservative side does it too when he gave the example commonly said by the conservative side:
"Oh you don't want to spend millions of $ on the military? Well then I guess you want America weak"
The point he is trying to make is that due to the ceaseless political coverage on all sides we've been conditioned to use misinformed reductionist arguments that don't actually solve problems, they just tear at the opposite side creating divisions
And I'm sorry to say but yes, Jimmy Kimmel had contributed to this just as much as the whacko Alex Jones, it's just that Jimmy calls himself a "liberal" so whenever legitimate criticism is levied at him other liberals come to his defense
Me? I'm liberal in the classical sense of the word and I still agree with the majority of the criticism this man gave, he could do one on Alex Jones too and given this quality of video as proof he'd do an excellent job at that as well
We have got to stop blindly running to the defense and attack of individuals when legitimate criticism is levied simply because they are "one of us"
As someone who doesn't even like Trump, hearing people bitch about him 24/7 gets old, fast. The president, has barely any control over half the stuff people bitch about anyway. He's the president not a fucking dictator lmao.
Jimmy Kimmel wouldn't be the only TV show host doing the ol' "let me show you someone elses videos of them doing stupid stuff and then comment over it" There's other shows like Tosh.O, that E! show with Joel McHale, then the more family friendly ones like AFV and worlds dumbest. You'll no doubt have some genre of audience if you follow this format of comedy. Basically the "vine/tiktok/whatever compilations" but for boomers.
26:15 this reminds me of when morty asks Jerry an actual question on Pluto that Jerry doesn’t know the answer to so Jerry replies with, well what were you thinking when you pood your pants 10 years ago
Got my wireless earbuds in, left my phone on the counter and went into another room right when the "guess what's in my pants" part started. I ain't even gunna back the video up, just hearing that was gross af.
Huh alright, now I know the couple of times I watched Jimmy Kimmel it wasn't just some bad episodes or me not being a nativ speaker. He is just not entertaining, but annoying.
18:59 Jimmy Fallon is so unfunny it's unreal. I don't really agree with him being funnier than Kimmel. I would honestly put him next to Kimmel in terms of comedic value.
Yea all of entertainment has been on a downward spiral and there’s a huge decline in quality. I agree with everything on this video except the Kobe thing, he didn’t do anything to that girl. Good video overall 👍🏾
Tbh your points are all valid but you are also massively hypocritical and INCREDIBLY selective in the evidence you chose. If that was your goal, great job. Very subversive
There's been people who confirmed that politicians paid writers to make political jokes that make them look like the good guys. Since that moment, I've never been able to enjoy any late night show. It's just a big political advert disguised as comedy.
some years ago i watched Clips here on yt because i was interested why those host were everywhere...and yes of you drugged you can find some stuff funny but most stuff is more like torture
This was Alt-right af. I agree with a lot of what you say. I really do. But, you obviously haven't lived in the same environment I have. I've seen rampant racism and I'm 23. In a way you minimized some very real issues through this video.
You used a Morgan Freeman quote. So, let me use a quote too. Riots are the language of the unheard. You aren't hearing the people that are STILL actively subjected to racism. So, you're minimizing it. Maybe it doesn't affect you. Maybe it's not as bad as it used to be. But it is real, it's still bad, and it's ongoing.
do you even know what alt-right even means? Just because it has right in the name doesn't mean it is right-wing. The alt-right is closer to the left than the right.
This is the most unsubstantiated criticism I’ve ever heard. He’s not obsessed with race therefore alt right. And your whole argument is a giant case of anecdotal evidence and has no validity
You should do a never ever will there be a late night host like Craig Ferguson ever again

While I don't love Jimmy Kimmel, I've never heard anyone talk about how bad he is until now. Late night tv is made for older people anyways, trying to intellectualize how 'bad' it is seems counter intuitive.
Also, you are taking about Jimmy Kimmel as if he does everything. It's a whole writing team and staff
Good work on the video, but the message is bad. You are trying to make these giant sweeping and generic philosophical statements based off .... Jimmy Kimmel....
I see where you're coming from, but I think you are misunderstanding some things. 1. While Jimmy is the main focus, the theme is more about Hollywood's elites' hypocrisy and their spouting of uneducated, emotionally-driven arguments, not just Jimmy himself.
2.If you want to argue against that, fine, but Emp argues that someone who has had a sketchy background should not be taking the moral high ground, not some "Grand Philosophical discovery".
Kimmel is a complete hack. He is only rivaled by Seth Meyers. Seth was OK for a while on SNL, but his show is so insufferably partisan and uninformed in all they ways you describe.
I just got a message to my reply on a comment from YouTube that my reply was "an invalid argument". It flashed off before I could screenshot it and my reply then went through. Is this happening to anyone else?
WOW, this aged terribly. I get it, politics are complicated and the world is full of nuanced problems, but EmpLemon just goes for so many really bad political takes like "The Left acts like white people can't be unemployed because of privilege."
Yes, Emp. White people can be unemployed. Do you think when people talk about white privilege it's because people think ONLY good things happen to white people? It's an average. Unemployment isn't as high for white people, police brutality is lower, there are mountains of stats showing this that EmpLemon very conveniently forgot to mention just to boil everything down to "White privilege isn't an issue because homeless people". Just because homelessness and unemployment are issues that doesn't mean fighting systemic racism and trying to stand for human rights in other ways isn't ALSO an issue that deserves attention?
We can all agree that homelessness is bad. But the reason people make such a big fuss about trans rights and stuff like it is because we DON'T all agree that transphobia is a bad thing, so if the people who want to protect the LBGT+ community don't speak up then the people who want to oppress them win and they'll control the narrative. And that's another thing, no, just 'shutting up' about racism won't "magically" solve racism or something, that's not how things work. Ignorance and hate always spread in the absence of information. If you don't fight the fascists then they WILL take over and normalize things until suddenly we're seeing the return of Jim Crow laws.
That might sound like an exaggeration, but people on the right literally believe an unproven election fraud theory that lead domestic terrorists to attempt to BOMB AND ASSASSINATE politicians! These people are fucking dangerous when you let them spread misinformation because crazy radical morons exist!
Yes! Hillary Clinton had a lot of downsides and problems. Who cares how she feels about Russia when the insane dipshit that won over her is busy trying to bring the military in to stop protests over yet another black guy being murdered by another scummy cop! Is it masturbatory? Sure. Will it change any minds to keep saying this stuff? Probably not. But I don't want to live in a world where one person asks why Trump is bad and the other guy isn't able to say anything, because this guy was constantly doing shitty things that fucked people over and the only reason why things weren't worse was because a bunch of people on the inside kept actively going out of their way to stop him and talk him out of shit.
Sure, as Emp says, just banning assault rifles won't solve all gun control issues, but nobody expects it to. Doing any of this crap people talk about is just a step in the road of solving way bigger problems. You say banning assault rifles won't fit the problem? Sure. I agree. But what the heck is even the alternative when mass shootings continue to happen?!
But nahh, forget about all of that, here's some morons getting angry at a dog. There isn't a problem here, it's just a perfectly normal circus clowning around as usual. Do not question the clowns, just let them do their fire juggling act as the world burns around them.
@Giga Chad Might as well start with gun control because Id also brought it up even though Youtube didn't ping me for that reply for some reason.
Because here's the big thing.......... The entire idea of a 'good guy with a gun' solving everything is an absolute myth that has basically never worked practically. There was actually a really good example of how bad this works not super long ago on January 25th, when Johnny Hurley took action and killed the Colorado Shooter before getting shot by the cops, himself, because the officer on the scene just saw him kill a guy.
If everyone's trying to shoot at a mass shooter and nobody knows what's going on then that just makes things harder for the actual police on the scene. It doesn't matter what theoretical idea you have in your head of someone cleanly showing up with a gun and having just one person solve the situation really neatly and orderly. The reality is that people panic and jump to conclusions when there's actual gunfire going off. And if even the police, who are actively trained for this, are making huge mistakes, then what chance does your average joe have of calmly stopping to assess the situation?
Say there's 100 armed people at the mall and one of them starts a mass shooting. That leaves 99 other potential idiots to start getting confused and shooting at eachother BEFORE the police even get involved! You're not going to just have the one lone guy who solves the problem and calms everyone down, you're going to have 10, 20, maybe even 40 people freaking out and opening fire on anything that feels even remotely threatening, including the other armed civilians who are also looking for a shooter when they don't know what the guy looks like or how many of them there might even be.
No country with strict gun bans has this problem. But, conversely, I've never heard of any nation EVER solving gun violence by overly arming the population because it's just a terrible idea. Like a lot of problems in life, the solution isn't reactionary, it's preventative. Limit guns overall and suddenly people can't shoot eachother in the face nearly as easily.
You try to cite this whole slippery slope fallacy of "But if we remove guns then what freedoms are next", but the entire idea behind America is that its laws can change and adapt with the times. And we are MILES away from the period where an armed group of individuals with muskets could overthrow a corrupt government, like the Second Amendment was intended to allow us to do. Heck, it wouldn't even be the first time an amendment was removed, if you know anything about Prohibition.
Even if you do think gun control is a non-issue, the solution is still obvious and if you want to stop the problem then you've got to actually move towards that solution one step at a time one way or another.
Let's see... does that cover pretty much everything on this topic? This comment's getting long so I'm going to split up this reply into multiple parts because we've got a lot to go through before I can really say I've answered for everything.
28:44 I live in Texas so reading these bad shit insane, psychotic and actually racist tweets is one of the most insulting and anger inducing things I’ve experienced in a while.
I'm not a fan of night shows since they're not funny as they use to be as the only night show I recommend to watch is Conan O'Brien. Too many try hard comedians in my opinion. Craig Ferguson and Geoff Peterson were a hilarious duo that always made me laugh because CBS cares. Yes, I did watch Jay Leno, David Letterman, and Johnny Carson (I was a baby when his time was ending but still his show was great).
Thats not a very nice way to talk about that turtle Watching the fucking turtle is more humorous than that show.....fucking....r/funny and twitter joke

I didn't like Trump when he was elected. It was all the celebrities, talk shows, and constant media bashing that made me think "no one could be this bad". So I started doing my own research. After a little bit of that research I actually became a Trump supporter. All the constant Trump bashing actually drove me in the direction of eventually being a supporter. Funny enough out of my 15 closest Friends who were all liberal except 2 only 1 or 2 voted for Trump in the last election. Honestly I was surprised when he lost in 2020 but me and my friends accepted Biden as our new president. I hope Biden does as well as Trump.
Ps: I say 1 or 2 because I have one friend who didn't want to tell me who he voted for and I didn't want to pressure him.
Nah, some criticisms could have been made nowadays and it would still make sense, but then again if this video was released nowadays it would have gotten a lot more backlash
I watched Conan and Fallon, but completely stopped when they started the Trump b.s. I didn’t mind an occasional Trump joke, but the whole show became one huge skit, with the sole purpose of bashing Trump. All roads lead to a Trump punchline. If a show would’ve stayed normal and just kept to the occasional Democrat and Republican joke it would’ve been alright. Once you make it clear that you’re bias though; the jokes are just that much worse.
I'm surprised it doesn't get old and repetitive since he cant go one episode attacking Trump. I honestly think Fallon is better than Kimmel because even if Fallon talks about Trump he's not as bad as Kimmel since I think his show is garbage at this point.
UnderRep I like Trevor Noah and John Oliver but there are times where I get sick of their Trump jokes. I don't watch Jimmy Fallon that much so I can't really say how bad he can be with his Trump jokes.
I'm generally very left leaning in US politics, but what Jimmy Kimmel says about politics is so basic, for lack of better words, that it makes the rest of the left look so bad.
Why do you say that? I've never really suspected as much, but I can kind of see where you're coming from, given both groups' tendency to lie to people and consolidate their power.
I made the mistake of watching this video.....in front of my family and they gave me a big speech about how you're wrong and i shouldn't watch this video as it explains politics wrong. My mistake.
@MooGoblin Oh, wow you seem to have it all figured out huh? So could you explain to us "right wingers" how this doesnt show the insanity of liberals virtue signaling for made up problems in the media?
I wonder if you actually listened to what your parents had to say or not? I'm just saying maybe they had a legitimate grievances with the line of reasoning presented in this video or maybe not.
MY PARENTS DID THEY SAME THING, i said that none is exempted from critizism and they brought up the " well what has this person done" and "this is just bullying" when the person your fucking defending is doing the exact same thing, it's so annoying.
@Justus the righteous Ok, but a guy go into the restaurant with a gun, with the intention of getting to the basement, when there was no basement and the only other door was a small closet
I meant when I viewed this Infront of my family, they thought I was agreeing w/ every point (which, completely misses the point of political videos, like I disagreed w/ a bunch of his statements, but that only goes to show I was listening) and then labeled me a republican ( I'm Irish, the republicans are the good guys, but ok) and I blindly agreed to that sentiment because I didn't want to be labeled as a liberal
Jimmy. Jim, James. Now lemme tell you something. Talk shows are big people things. Also, I can't believe Rossane, Fallon and Morgan Freeman are the few competent people in Hollywood.
Fallon will say whatever mathematically makes the most people like him. He has no real opinions or individual ideas. He’s just a switch-hitter who follows along with whatever stance is most popular for the time being
Well Amy Schumer is also referred to as a "comedian" even though she has never said or done a single funny thing in her life. The barrier for entry has never been lower! Why do you think comedians like Jerry Seinfeld have basically given up? Because you can't be sharp if your audience just wants safe and predictable "current issues commentary"?
THANK YOU! there is so much i hate about the whole outrage culture for lack of a better word issue, and i really appreciate this video as it took a lot of my thoughts and helped articulate them. let me start by saying that i'm democrat, because for the sake of a oversimplification I care more about social issues than economic issues (social issues being ACTUAL issues like the flawed systems not being updated like prison system, environmental issues, etc not the bullshit. but theirs a lot of shit that my parities doing that should be nutty bonkers but is now normalized, and tbh i think you summed it up perfectly, but i'm going to elaborate. I think this started when the news (the news is a problem for another rant) realized they could rile people up and hence get watchtime and ad revenue by taking a fringe group of hyper extreme lunatics getting mad about something unreasonable and broadcasting there complaints to the world, what happened was the news realized it was possible and continued taking absurd narratives that villanize groups for actions most of then never even did and cut out any grey area, but they contuined taking these narratives and publishing them cus they riled ppl up and hence made them tons of ad money, then commentary people online realizing how nuts this shit was tried to fight it by saying such, which worked for the majority but everything this cycle happened more people joined the nutty causes since the more you hear something the less absurd it becomes, and the more reasonable it sounds, anyways repeat this cycle for a few years and we get to today. moreso this isn't the over arching problem, the news has been spouting whatever nonsense scares people into watching more of the news for years, while intentionally keeping people in the dark, theres a reason most of the news is buzzwords and theirs a serious lack of any proper explanation besides a impulsive emotional agenda they want to mouth feed you to rile you up. it also doesn't help we have political news channels aimed to specific parties which only convinces the people watching there party is this beacon of truth while the opponents are all evil lunatics, which yes both sides have evil lunatics but the majority of ppl no matter the side are just normal chill people with there own opinions, thats why i hate the "all republicans are racist" bullshit, like i'm democrat but most my friends are republican and none of them are racist, infact i think most republicans just hate the outrage culture bs but have nothing against any race for being the race they are, like they don't care if your gay, but they don't want gay people screaming at them and calling them homophobes, And tbh there not perfect either as alot of them don't like gay people who kinda shove it down your throat, but tbh i think the messsage most of them me inculded agree on is it doesnt matter what you are, idc if your gay for example, just don't put yourself into a box where i have to treat you diffrently and walk on this ice and if i make a small mistake you'll yell at me for being a homophobe, and tbh i think most gay people find the nutty minority within the minority who puts them in a box and yells at everyone calling them homophobes more harmful than helpful. so yea i think the fact we have poltically oriented news channels that suck people into there wormhole makes it so they assume there sides the only sane poltical side and hence refuse to have discussions with the other party/ hear them out, which is sad cus just listening to our enemies reasoning and finding a soultion by working together could solve most the worlds problems, after all most wars are fought not even knowing what the person your killing's motivations are, and after all were all human, don't get me wrong there are some awful shitty humans out there, but were all human and if we took time to understand eachother and listen the world would become a much less problematic place imo, anyways if you've read this far, thanks i really appreciate it, and i don't want you to make my opinions as fact but instead read them and make your own decisions :)
I don't blame Jimmy or think he is the sole reason for the downward spiral of society. I don't like him AT ALL, but I think the internet is the actual problem here. On the internet you can put your opinions no matter how bad they are online for everyone to see and people can listen to whatever they want and block out anything they dislike and create echo chambers.
Before the internet, you mostly just shaped your beliefs by your own interactions with others and since you weren't anonymous any hot takes can be critized and your reputation could be tarnished.
TLDR; the internet was ready for us, but we as a society wasn't ready for the internet. Just think about it, society was fine until the internet became readily available for the general public and it's only been getting worse since then.
@Dharc So, assuming you're somehow right (you're not, but let's entertain the thought for a second) and it's entirely the internet's fault, what's your solution? And before you say it, the Genie isn't going back in the bottle no matter how hard you try.
Why you're wrong: Hollywood and elitist culture has always been a hive of delusion and pseudoscience going back to the tenth century, "The emperor's new clothes" was a parody story ABOUT an elite's delusional obsession with wealth and his own moral upstanding such that reality itself no longer applied. More specifically, the mainstream media has been pushing outrage culture since 9/11, long before the mainstreaming of the Internet. Why? Because some executive at CNN or MSNBC saw the sky high ratings they got during 9/11 and said "If we could keep pushing content that causes that much of a stir, it could make us rich! How do we do that again?" All the Internet has done is made it easier for people to take notice and call it out.
@Dharc I don't think freedom of ideas on the internet is our problem. If social media companies had an ounce of integrity and non-partisanship, echo chambers wouldn't be so easily created. All the social media companies that deleted Trump's accounts have doomed themselves to become liberal echo chambers (take me for example, I deleted Twitter 4 days ago). Any social media sites that don't outwardly discriminate against republicans are becoming Republican echo chambers. The issue is that two non-compatible realities have been created by the Democrats and by the Republicans. I personally believe the Republican reality is real, not in small part because of the pretentious hacks like Kimmel and the huge corporations that collaborated to kill anti-Biden information and effectively "steal" the election from Trump. When all of the established, elitist corporations rally against you, you must be doing something right. Literally everyone possible in the entertainment industry went against Trump. Really makes you believe they are getting orders from higher-ups. And that plays into conspiracy theories of puppet masters.... You can clearly see where this leads. The Qanon stuff was false when it came to the election and Trump being revealed as the winner, but the sick stuff about human trafficking and Hollywood are undoubtably true. To save society I believe Hollywood culture must collapse, among other things.
@Doodguy The blank it makes me sad to think about. we as a species set up our own demise and so far we've accepted it. i mean i'm not a boomer or anything like the internet is actually good for us right now, but the way people are as of now is basically putting the last nail in the coffin. if Hollywood falls, it would have to be due to some HUUUUGE conspiracy or something like that. i mean, i think its on its last legs as of now tbh, but it'll stick with us for awhile.
Don't speak so bad about Korea, you literally said north Korea is fascist that's literally the opposite of the truth and you did it to make a point and isn't this what you are against?
while fascits may not be the correct term, totalitarian hell hole certainly fits the DPRK.

15:30 holy shit the transition from him talking about sexual harassment to asking a random girl to squeeze his pants was so fucking strong I almost swore someone slapped me
Emp lemon let me say you are a brave person for standing up to these type of people and these types of movements in this day and age. This video made me picture you way differently. You are absolutely correct through the entire video, and you don’t even have any bias because you said you don’t really like trump’s policies yourself, which is amazing. I’m glad I stayed subscribed after your “downward spiral”. Your new content is surprisingly interesting and I always find myself watching to the end of each video
Nick Nave What sucks though is the fact that not enough people see the problems that he is trying to show in his videos since most people would be turned off vybthe fact that his vid is half an hour long and most people recognize him as 'that guy who made 30min video on memes'
Jimmy Kimmel : Trump is Racist Also Jimmy Kimmel : Hey i make fun of foreigners because they can’t speak English well, also I have a Mexican for comic relief, I also once gave everybody gift cards but a black guy some Lebron’s
masterxitra do you know that saying an NBA player’s name indicates I’m referring to Lebron’s signature shoe line? Or Lebron’s for short? Are you familiar with what I was saying or you were just trying to sound smug? What???
@cNightly OH no i didnt mean to come off as rude bro. i didnt know Lebron's had a shoe line tbh thought only MJ did. sorry if i came off as smug was just joking around with you dont take it to heart bud i didnt mean any ill will towards you.
masterxitra oh ok, sorry I started to go on the attack, I think I misinterpreted what you said and thought you were one of those 8 year olds who corrects a plausible statement, no hard feelings
I cant believe that I'm living in a universe where a woman who screamed the national anthem at a baseball game sounded more reasonable than a tv host. Actually everyone sounds reasonable than the tv host
3 years later, Trump's not even president anymore, Kimmel's still unable to stop talking about him. GEEEZ! I can't even watch for 5 minutes, and the only reason is bc it comes on after the local news.
I have the same problem with SNL. I used to enjoy it, but now every cold opening/ every other skit has to do with some of the most souls crushing unfunny “commentary.” I remember Rich Evans from RLM describes something like this as a “Non-medy.” Essentially, it’s a comedy or a joke that is so bad, stupid, and unfunny that it sucks the soul out of you and just makes you feel tired and defeated
Totally agree. Sucks because I actually like a lot of what snl does and they are capable of making good skits, but when they try to force a political stance into everything it entirely kills my desire to watch it
I never found SNL consistently funny. Was it funny sometimes, yes, especially specific actors. But MadTV was more consistently funny and did political skits better.
I remember watching SNL with my father on a tiny black and white CRT with bunny ears. It only got one channel, which fortunately aired it. Back then I remember nearly every skit being a laugh riot, comedians like Will Ferrell, Tina Fey, and Jimmy Fallon were in their prime and even when a skit was bombing, they'd be having so much fun you laughed anyway. Remember when they did Weekend Update and the jokes were funny enough to make them break composure and crack up sometimes? Now they are just saying "Trump bad!" and the canned laughter sells the joke to you without any wit whatsoever.
Okay so 27:23 has me fucking rolling. She’s like “WHAT IF, now hear me out, WE ADDRESSED THE ISSUES REGARDLESS OF WHOS RUNNING THE PLACE?” And Jimmy’s like “YOURE INSANE 😂😂 (laugh track bs)” Holy shit.
This video did feel a little polarizing at first, but the more I thought about it, it was really well done. I think it represents me and a very actually large part of the population that don't like Trump, but also find the mainstream biased liberal media to be irritating. I am one of those people who watched Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, but really just cause I wanted a satirical format for the news I got. But as the video mentions, I don't really enjoy it all that much. I was just there to get my intake of news, but it's not really news, and this video opened my eyes even more to that. It's always biased towards one side, and never positive on the other. I honestly want to stop watching Kimmel and Colbert now; I'm so sick of them talking about Trump. Colbert wasn't for a while and even had a running gag about NOT talking about him, but now he's circled back to making him the center of his monologues. I don't know what it is, but I just wish there was a better, less biased, and more varied source where I could get news in a satirical format.
Still my favorite video of 2018 because, honestly, not only do I absolutely agree with almost everything you said and almost all the points you brought up, but all of the points that you've made yet I myself have been thinking for at least a year or more about are absolutely dead-on perfect. Hats off to you, Lemon.
he did make a few arrogant statements, like trumps tweets leading to "peace" with north Korea, that just turned out to be flat out not true. He sounds really young though, so for his age, I commend his knowledge.
He's not all that young, but yes, a few of his statements were a bit uninformed. But in the span of a 31 minute video, he did make a lot of statements. So I don't think I can blame him all that much.
@Jaden Van Hess Yeah, but I believe it was also caused by King Jong-un's own motives. Trump's tweets alone however, definitely weren't the only reason that North Korea is cooler with us now.
@SusNightBox the thing with north korea is what they do is, they act like they're on the verge of war (such as launching missiles into the sea, then they start doing other things, then they act like they want it to be more peaceful (thus talking to trump) and at the end of the day everyone thinks that they were successful in stopping an all out war, but it was just a ploy for NK to get what they wanted. I got this idea from a video along time ago, and seems to be accurate
Dr Hans Volter: Doesn’t Emp kinda fit better though? He makes money from leeching of others’ success and fame? He uses their name and image to garner views?
Alex Bennet yes, but Emp spends lots of effort on his videos, that's why they're so long, he tries to not only make his point, but keep us entertained along the way
Kemo_Meme: But the exact same could be said about Jimmy Kimmel. I don’t have a problem with Emp’s style of content, but you can’t call Kimmel a “parasite” without understanding that the exact same criticism applies to Emp.
I sort of saw you as immature for ranting on about BTM and memes, and making such a big deal out of it. But this video made me see you in a more positive light. This is an excellent video which explains the impact and delusion of the liberal media, and how people like Kimmel are just pushing their ideologies rather than giving actual coherent political commentary. In fact, your political commentary was far more coherent than Kimmel's, and you're a YouTube Pooper. That's astounding; it really shows how the Left have become so trapped in their little bubble that they just call anyone who doesn't agree with them a "Nazi" or a "racist". And powerful leftists are bested in terms of political knowledge and overall common sense by some random YouTuber who likes memes.
America is getting worse because of people like him. It’s so important for a country to have things we can all enjoy no matter your politics. Something we can all rally around whether that’s music, talk shows comedians or movies. These public figures coming out so political and calling half the country retarded has created a divide that may never heal. Even when a famous person tries not to be political they get harassed by the far left saying that if you don’t come out against trump than you’re allowing racism to exist. I feel like the country is screwed.
Lotta bad responses to this question, so I'll give it a shot. Emp takes the fact that Jimmy Kimmel is a bad pundit and uses it to say liberals have gone crazy. I can't say everyone who disliked did for good reason, but having watched the whole video, I disliked because of the bad arguments.
Bahhtleborn The Sheep Some do, and there are reasons and good things that could come from it. Most land was just claimed years ago and passed down and sold between a few wealthy individuals. Also, private property is different to personal property, which is often ignored and overlooked.
@TFrills lmao take a break from youtube and read a book or an actual study. Yall think youtube videos are a credible source of knowledge. Hate to bust your aluminium hat my guy.
honestly emp I would LOVE to see a video about the education system like you brought up at 23:25 seriously, people wonder why millennials are so angsty and can't sit still when we waste so much of our lives having information crammed into us that we could otherwise learn from the internet right in front of us.
Because the internet is cheaper than school. Meaning less money for the people pulling the strings on education. Some people become teachers just because it gives them money and benefits, while online teachers are way more passionate at their job.
Fat Stacks of Cash I've never heard that before, but if this is real, do you have a source where I can read more about online teachers caring more? I'd love to learn about this.
Astavyastataa He got exposed for wearing “blackface” like in the early 2000s. But I don’t feel for him because he is on the side of the people who cancel others.
@Mavis Beacon It really does depend. Cancel culture has done some good, outting, and removing pedophiles, predators, rapists, abusers from positions of power, harming their ability to victimize more people. However, on the flip side, it also can get carried away and target innocent people, including kids. So full-blown adults can go from being outraged about abusers to become the abuser themselves. I think it's too vague and broad of a topic to just paint it all with one brush. So context matters here. Jimmy had no problem when other people were being canceled, and has legitimately done some fucked up things. I'm not going to shed a tear that the mob he directed at others finally came for his ass. Cancel culture really can be boiled down to people taking a stand against things they find scummy. And just like anything else, that can be perverted, twisted, abused, or wrong. But that doesn't mean its also done no good, because it has. So for me, it depends on the context, and just what they're accused of, and how much evidence exists. If there's a video of you abusing a kid, yep you deserve people's outrage at your action. If there's no evidence to substantiate a claim? Probably not a justifiable thing to 'cancel' someone over. So I can either like it, dislike it, feel nothing, and so on. In this case, I think it's just karma coming back around on him.
To be honest, Kimmel just seems to be nauseatingly pandering. He says the most popular thing at the time and doesn't seem to feel anything. If racism is funny, that's what he'll do. If calling Black Panther oscar worthy will get a laugh, hell yes. If worshipping ants becomes popular, I promise you'll be able to see him saying "well I for one welcome our new overlords"
Jimmy Kimmel is just so boring, He just complains with whatever The internet agrees with, The people in those tweeting Roasting videos can agree with the opinons, also watching Jimmy kimmel Fight with politics is just so Digusting its so bland.
Andy Blanton2021-06-22 01:20:27 (edited 2021-06-22 01:48:26 )
Correction: Jimmy Kimmel represents everything wrong with late-night, and late-night represents everything wrong with American Entertainment. I do agree with the entire rest of the video.
I’m going to be genuinely honest here, I typically identify myself as a conservative, but I feel now after this video I’m probably more down the middle than I thought. All I’ve heard in the news (only fox since I’m most exposed to it) we’re just bashing the left for the stupid things that they did. I will agree the left sometimes does stupid things, but they never talk about the good part of the left, the sane people, not the radicals. I think the left is more of a try hard in a somewhat good way, while the republicans don’t try as much to change but think more logically, or don’t take as many risks. But I’m just confused to why politics got so toxic recently, I don’t remember ever being a point in time (besides the civil war era) that the left and right bashed each other this inanely. I’m just so sick of it to the point that I’ll never watch the news again. If it’s just negativity than what’s the point. All it does is make me more miserable. If your a kid out here who hasn’t explored the hellhole called Politics, I strongly encourage you to stop. I don’t want our future generations to live in a toxic world. As they say “Always look on the bright side of things” but you can’t really find any bright side about politics.
Same with me, I'm more in the middle, but on the right side, but the way I see modern politics is just a toxic mess. I feel like people getting into an argument on the playground when I was 5 made more sense than half the things that are argued about in politics.
as someone who seems to lean a little more to the left, I feel your statement completely! All politics is in the modern era (in my opinion) is a tool to get clicks on their garbage websites. It's quite sad to see, honestly. There could be some very interesting conversations to have between both sides on social and economic issues, but it seems that people would rather scream at eachother than just sit down and TALK!
I think it's probably like this because people who have or pretend to have super far left or super far right views are often seen more because they gather more of a reaction, albiet negative. Plus, the shield of anonymity people have on the internet means that they tend to be more harsh to people with opposing views when they wouldn't in real life.
Also, a lot of things I feel that shouldn't be politics count under politics for some reason. It is my personal view, though, but I feel a lot of things I think are generally agreed on (i.e, "M.A.P."s shouldn't be seen as politics, everybody unless they are a child and don't know better or people who legitimately need help think that they aren't okay and need help.) Unfortunately, things that shouldn't be politics but are are the reason why I've been somewhat pushed into politics, despite being somewhat young myself. Oh well.
I've realized a lot of this after talking to somebody with views I don't typically see where I live - pro-gun, anti-abortion (although not completely different, they described themselves as a centrist) while the town I live in is more leftist. They provided pretty interesting arguments (specifically about abortion as we didn't talk much about guns.) It was completely respectful, they didn't fit the stereotype of people who aren't leftist seen a lot in leftist spaces, and we actually agreed on quite a lot (for example, with abortion, we agreed that people should be able to have easy access to things like birth control so they don't have to kill what is or what could potentially be a living being.)
I think that if people realized that most of what they see online of certain views aren't actually what people generally think, politics might be a little bit of a better place and hold more interesting discussions instead of people just hurling insults at eachother.
The reason why politicos seems much more toxic recently is the internet and larger entities trying to adapt to it. Everyone nowadays has a voice that can be easily heard and reverberated to hundreds, thousands, and tens of thousands of people. From the far extremes to the center, however people remember the extremes better than the middle, and so the culture feels much more toxic than usual.
the idea is that conservatives want to maintain things the way they are or possibly revert to tradition and liberals want to change things and adapt the system. Both are necessary for equilibrium and it's why young people tend to be liberal.
Bipartisan 2-party politics will do that to you. When there's no opportunity to play the middle, nobody has the ability to have real complicated discussions about the morally grey middle that exists in all facets of the political sphere.
America has turned politics into black and white, easy TV drama and it's impossible to be down the middle. Even when you say you are. You are one or the other no matter what you say because at the end of the day you still gotta vote black or white.
I feel like a centrist more than anything else and I understand you, I take bad ideas from every party without looking at these things, small people know how to be reasonable, they are high-level politicians or famous people who represent a lot of the childish side
In the US anyway, it’s because a) there are only 2 parties and b) both parties are roughly equal, so they don’t actually need to compromise with each other, which leads to ‘conversations’ between the sides just being each person trying to look good for their party and make the other look bad
And of course people who try to get both sides to agree or at least cooperate are called fascists or communists/socialists (depending on which side) because of how social media has turned political discussion into a battleground or echo chamber, where if you aren’t with me, then you are my enemy
yeah it sucks that liberalism is considered a leftist idea in USA because the DNC is the only large opposition to conservatism. its like choosing between being punched in the face or kicked in the balls
@The Thinking Sloth I disagree immensely, I would much rather try and convince a lib that college should be free than convince a trump supporter that a vaccine is safe
@Mackle pronouns shouldn’t be considered a political thing. They are the terms that correspond to whether we are a male or female (you can also just use a neutral pronoun too). The only people making pronouns a big deal are all those white girls on social media that put their “desired pronouns” as part of their bio. Pronouns never needed to be fixed because they were never broken.
As much as I'd like to call myself a Republican I feel this root goes deeper then mearly Liberal/Conservatism... It's often I feel the most secret of information is actually hidden in plain sight. It is easy to determine where a wave is going to go if you put your hand and move it yourself. Same goes in the realm of politics and word slight of hands. If we really want to find a solution demonizing each other isn't the way, it is what surely higher powers want us to think...it's the only way they could allow "Freedom of Speech" without the speaker fearing the feds will bust through your door and kidnap them if its all under "Conspiracys"
@trash It’s hilarious that you think conservatism needs opposition 😂. If anything, we need a party for more economic and personal freedom! Not more socialism/communism/nanny-state BS.
"Pronouns never needed to be fixed because they were never broken."
So here's the thing, right? Pronouns are fine generally for like 99% of people, and that's generally good enough. You're born a man and we get the deal. But there actually are trans people who don't identify with their pronouns at birth which complicates things. So they're perfectly fine... IF you don't include trans people, which we didn't for a really long time. Now that we do, it's still fine 99% of the time, but every now and then someone will request different pronouns and they have a right to go by them, and you know what? Fair enough. I feel like almost everyone would sensibly agree with that, if you're not sure but they say they're a He, then why not, right?
The reason it's a political thing is because most pretty normal sensible people can just accept that and it's fine. But specifically people on the right sometimes just go ape-shit over it because it's different from what they're used to, right? So that makes them panic and feel under attack and they just freak out. Sometimes just reflexively, but also sometimes because they genuinely hate LBGT+ people. So because people on the right tend to hate this stuff a lot of the time, it HAS to be a leftist issue now. Because you're going against specifically the conservative party, right? So it HAS to be political now by its very nature.
There's more to it like how our understanding of sex is way more nuanced and how our understanding of gender has changed to be more performative and stuff, but big point is, everything's fine as long as you don't just decide to be an asshole to a random trans person or something by intentionally misgendering them.
@waxdood Yeah, you know, a democratically run workplace? It's this whole economic theory where it's like everyone who works at a company votes on major decisions together. And because everyone's jobs are on the line, they can choose the things that are best long-term instead of focusing on the financial quarter to appease management and stuff like that. It's basically a way to take back the means of production, right?
@waxdood What are you talking about? If you're in a democratic workplace then you'd already have a job. If anything, it'd make it easier to keep your job because you couldn't get laid off out of nowhere to shave finances for the fiscal quarter..
@waxdood You literally can't imagine the potential pros and cons of voting on workplace decisions as a group? That seems like more of a you problem than anything else.
@waxdood But we're just talking basic workplace socialism, we haven't even touched on real Marxist theory yet- No, wait! Please! Come back! Stop running!
@Dracocrusher I have a question as someone who doesn't understand the whole 42 genders thing, why don't trans people just use the pronouns of the gender they identify as? As in, why doesn't a woman who realizes that actually they identify as a man just say "I'm a male" instead of that they're specifically a "transgender male"
@Riah As far as I'm aware, that's generally how it works. But if you you're, say, doing a youtube video or something where you want to talk about something related to being Trans then it's really useful to make that distinction. And there are other times when it's useful, too, like when talking about their medical history and stuff, because there are differences to consider when, say, talking to a doctor or whatever, right? And then there are cases where someone doesn't feel like they pass well enough as their preferred gender to just say "I'm a man" without people pointing out that they're Trans or something so they just address it ahead of time to avoid that whole conversation.
Basically, there are situations where the context can be useful overall for one reason or another.
@Riah first off, we usually just use the shortened term trans. second of all, transgender and cisgender are just descriptors. you don’t “identify” as trans, you ARE trans by nature. we HAVE to use that because . there are cis-passing trans people and sometimes they hide it in fear of being outed. non-binary people can fit under this umbrella, if they choose to be considered trans or not. trans- essentially means that you don’t identify with the sex you were born with. I am non-binary and trans. I struggle with gender dysphoria unfortunately, but not everyone who is non-binary does so.
Normalizing “pronouns” is a net positive. So we could make way for a even more accepting world. Unfortunately, people like me get called names just for wanting to exist normally. There is this massive stigma perpetuated by people that think we are lesser than and should be like them. People hate differences. People have superiority complexes and are too afraid to admit they are being bad so treat us like we are the ones in the wrong instead. To be honest, that’s every marginalized group…
@josie Yes, but also, it's kind-of crazy just how many logical fallacies and terrible arguments EmpLemon shoved in back to back just to justify his argument.
So much of that segment is literally just the "Starving kids in Africa" argument, where someone will bring up a problem and someone else will be like "Why are you worried about this when there are starving kids in Africa?" It's a complete fallacy that ignores the original problem completely.
Like for example "Why are we worried about systemic racism when white people are homeless?" is one of the points he brings up. And that sounds really hypocritical... until you realize that addressing one issue doesn't keep you from also caring about the other one?
I think it was cringe and kind of hypocritical to be honest.
A lot of this video is dedicated to how “if you disagree with liberals, they’ll simply call you [x]”, but then the last section of the video is spent reductively saying “liberals are very simply [x], and they just believe in [y] and [z]”.
It’s a very juvenile understanding of politics. Lemon likely never talked to any liberals in the making of this video to, in good faith, understand where these supposed arguments and positions come from. Hence why you see him ascribing things like “liberals think all white people have it better than all black people simply because of their race” onto them. This isn’t a position anyone with legitimacy believes in or espouses, it’s a straw-man conservatives impose onto liberals for fear-baiting purposes. If Lemon actually talked to liberals in good faith to make this critical video, he wouldn’t have included that.
Speaking of race, Lemon talked about the war on drugs as if drug use was what led to mass incarceration, not the criminalization of drugs; and also that it was not influenced by racism even though it absolutely was.
This is in conjunction with his rather simplified understanding of school budgets, implying that we keep spending on students with no good results. Forgetting that school budget is heavily influenced by the wealth of your local zip code, not the wealth of your state, or the country overall.
Granted, this video is over 3 years old, and I’m willing to bet Lemon has changed his view on a lot of points mentioned here.
@Joshua Salem It also made me feel some type of way when he said the instead of caring about the poor or the sick people care about the ‘blacks and the gays’. Unless he said that in a kind of ‘people are pretending to care about black and lgbtq causes’, it was a little odd.
i knew there was a reason why i avoided clicking on this video... "the BLACKS" took me tf out.. idk why ppl r out here parading this video like its good in the comments bc its really not
This was genuinely an even handed and well researched breakdown; it’s difficult to find open-minded and non-biased political commentary. Thank you. Jimmy Kimmel honestly wishes his content was half this good.
The North Korea episode was not a good example of Trump being unfairly attacked by the media. He was self-evidently not equipped to handle the situation. And what happened? Exactly what everyone predicted would happen: Kim got a summit with to the US president which gave him legitimacy and cost him zero concessions, and our allies in the region were left hanging.
There are probably a few people who wanted Trump to fail. I think that is not really the case with most people, though. Most people who opposed Trump (in the media or otherwise) just understood how utterly incompetent he was. I never got the impression that Kimmel was in the first category.
i love how we have a whole generation of people who simply let everything he used to do on his late night show THE MAN SHOW simply because hes a massive liberal on network TV now. so his earlier work has nothing to do with his character..... oh wait. that only applies when the person in question fits the narrative or your political party but when its the other way around people scream for them to be cancelled.
I think the only true way to defeat these type of guys is to simply ignore Them.

When it comes to the political stuff, Colbert does it better. When it comes to the lighthearted stuff, Fallon does it better. Bill Maher is smarter, Conan O'brien is funnier, Seth Meyers is 10x more relatable, and John Oliver does actual deep dives into his topics. Meanwhile, Jimmy Kimmel just sort of.... exists.
He's the talk show host for viewers who don't have a favorite song, band, or even genre, and just listen to whatever's popular on the radio. He's TV pablum. Milktoast.
Just an observation. When I was 10 years old my Dad took me to the local fire dept. for a gun safety meeting by the NRA. I was taught about gun safety in a very understanding way for a child of my age. As a result of that I not only became a person who owns guns but I have taught many other people about gun safety. I even became a firefighter from that experience at the fire dept. To this day I don't understand it when I hear someone say" I don't like the NRA". Every experience I've had with the NRA has been very civil and easy going. I guess when one is convinced to hate something or someone it just doesn't matter if that something or someone is good or bad. Just my 2 cents. Ha, I'm not even a member of the NRA.
I always disliked Jimmy as a public figure, I remember watching him for laugh but everytime either I didn't wanted to see more or I started feeling angry about his highly political statements.
I’ve never liked kimmel for some reason. He just always kinda bugs me, the way he talks to people is just irritating, the way he talks to his guests and asks them questions and such. Whereas someone like Fallon doesn’t ever really bother me from what I’ve seen, and is actually pretty funny. I don’t actually watch either show tho lol just occasionally see small parts of them
I agree with mostly everything except on your remarks about the civil rights movement. the civil rights movement didn’t instantly fixed the issues black men and women experience… If anyone in the comments would like to have a discussion about it then please go ahead. I don’t want to fight but i want all of us to come to a understanding. Please don’t turn the replies into a shitfest and please be respectful to everyone.
Yeah, that is true. The civil rights movement was a big step, but not an instant fix. There are still issues in society overall relating to both groups. But also to be fair he never said that it isntantly fixed anything and he more said that the movement has changed to a more insane version of itself that doesn't really help those who really need it and that instead of fighting real issues that they're more fighting stupid things. And it was more aimed at liberals in America than the civil rights movement overall.
@Kurt What? I'm talking about groups that don't get represented enough. I'm talking about minorities, where did you get that I was implying that being a straight white dude was hard?
@TINGMING Xiy I think what they are trying to say is racism isn’t as large of a problem as it used to be, there is no doubt it’s a problem but poverty is an issue that can’t discriminate as well as other social issues so now we are at a point where there are bigger problems that need to be adressed more urgently than the racism problem; which would also be improved by improving the other problems.
We aren’t in the times of 40+ years ago where the biggest problem was racism because it was creating the other social problems and preventing them from being fixed because discriminatory laws were everywhere.
Now everyone is struggling a lot with a variety of social issues yet some people still believe racism is a bigger issue than the rest, it’s not.
@DrakeTurtle or racism is the biggest issue for those who are a target of it compared to those who aren't. Clearly. We know. Also sorry but your devil's advocate doesn't work for him. He's clearly a racist. Like an in your face one 😐
considering i couldn't find any negetive comments even in "newest" section confirmes to me that the dislikes were poeple who were like "no jimmy kimmel is great me angry" disliked and didnt bother watching the vid in the first place and honestly thats sounds about right for his target audience
Both parties agree I’m hope we can come together and accept each other even though I had people literally push me away from friend groups but I’m alright keep it up
This isn’t particularly related, but in reference to the “can you guys think positively”
I hear that a lot, some seem to mean “look for the silver lining”, others are blatantly using magical-thinking that helps nobody, including themselves.
You can think positively and still acknowledge unfortunate truths, but what’s better than blind positivity? Rationale

You make some good points in this video, but I just want to point out, that going vegan doesn't really do anything (24:10). This video explains it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGG-A80Tl5g
Love your content, but youre deff wrong about the only men who get away with sexual assault/harassment are the men in the entertainment industry. "Cases reported" is different than actual instances, and even when cases are reported, justice for SA victims still isn't easy to obtain.
The problem with SA is that proving it one way or the other is really hard. From what I've seen it usually devolves into he said/she said scenario that's impossible to prove one way or the other with boths sides being suspect of lying for different motives. This makes it impossible to really know how much of this sort of thing is actually happening.
His approach to the DPRK is a disaster, he lowered sanctions, almost got an ally of the USA attacked and did nothing to improve relationships between the 2 countries.
The DPRK didn’t come out looking good but they came out with a better deal than when they entered.
Watching this in 2021 makes me realize just how intense the changes in society that were happening in this video have gotten. Like I’m scared to say anything even barely related to race in case it offends someone.
Him and Seth Rogan are the two celebrities I used to like up until the past few years, or when Trump was elected, they became two of the worst "woke" offenders and that's really a shame
29:10 I think you misread that one, it's specifically saying that white people can have difficult lives. I still don't agree with it but it's coming from the right place
I love how at 28:55 one of the articles is literally just “26 white people”. Nothing specific about what they did or their relation to anything, just 26 random white people 😂
Reminder Jimmy Kimmel had his taint tickled by his son. He was an intern on Eric Andre's show, and talked about it during an interview with Larry King.
I think a better point would have been that Kobe's allegations were unproven, just like Trump's, yet Kobe still got better treatment on the show than the downright slander of the president.
@iSay Hi If you call investigations that led nowhere "impeachment" I guess I agree with you. Then again Kobe being accused also doesn't warrant any additional respect. It's about treating people you don't like similarly, or preferably the same, as ones you do.
@Kurt genuine question,where you trying to sound like the most passive aggressive person in history or was that an accident?i never said trumps broken the law(atleast not any notable ones).I geuss I can see where you might have gotten the idea that bye guilty I meant guilty of committing a crime,even if the context doesent even suggest it,as guilty of a crime is basicly the modern definition of guilty,even if I'm pretty sure it's not the official definition.i made my comment because "Trump is guilty of nothing" genuinely sounds like a sentence that's the result of actual brainwashing.although based on what I have to go off I think the oversimplification theory is more plausible.
@131 VER Well how many times has Kobe been in court, or paid a settlement with a nice NDA to keep something out of court? Now how many times for Trump? What does that pattern tell you? You know the old saying, Fool me once shame on you, fool me dozens of times over, and we're letting the powerful and wealthy buy their way out of criminal prosecution...yeah that's it.
May I ask something to fellow 2021 viewers - what does he mean when he says that preventing mass shootings is incredibly complex? I'm italian so I'm a bit out of your loop, but we do have gun control laws and have close to 0 mass shootings per year, so I know for certain that they work. This is not a loaded question btw, I'm genuinely curious to understand what are the difficulties in implementing a similar solution. I do have a feeling that some people confuse gun control laws with gun banning laws, however.
Most americans have guns, and when you threaten them that they will take the guns then thats a threat. Lawmakers are banning ar's and smgs right now, so not really "control laws" i doubt they will go after the main hunting guns and protecting guns like pistols but if they do all hell will break loose. When you let people have guns for 250 years and take them away oh boy oh boy. And about the mass shooting part. they. will. never. stop. Its sad, i have no clue why people will do it, and the gun always gets the blame and not the owner.
@Svech37 Wait, I haven't seen any (serious) discussion on banning hunting rifles or guns for personal protection, or am I missing something? I've mostly seen suggestions of controls over gun owners, to check if you're "sane" and reasonable enough to carry a firearm, much like we have in italy.
"And about the mass shooting part. they. will. never. stop." ...wait, why? In italy we have close to 0 mass shootings, and it's just like this in any country with gun control laws, why would you say that?
"i have no clue why people will do it" there are very strong clues as to why people do it, almost all mass shooters have some sort of mental illness / instability, which to me seems like a fairly strong signal as to why gun control (rather than banning) would work well in preventing these disasters. A counter argument could be "someone being mentally ill doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to mass shoot, so you would restrict someone for no reason", which still seems like a farily weak argument, since we all already agree to do similar controls in other scopes like airplane driving, or any other situations where other people's lives can be at risk
@jackbot1992 i say they will never stop because of like what you mentioned people have messed up minds, they arent banning hunting/pistol guns only ar's smgs, might i add in only some states. not the full country but they are working on it. I dont know much how itatly's gun law is but id assume you guys only have pistols and standard riffles, not Assault Riffles and submachine guns blazzing
I love guns and hate the NRA. The NRA doesn't give a shit about gun rights. If they had their way, we'd be like the UK where guns are kept at clubs and ranges and only used for sport and hunting. The NRA would happily trade away your right to own a gun for a little more power and money.
And as for Mr. Kimmel's statement on guns, I'd love to own an M60, an RPG-7, and a fully imported AK-47. But I can't own any of those because they're all banned for your average citizen. To get the M60 and RPG, I'd have to pay thousands just for the right to own it before the thousands I'd have to pay for the gun itself. The AK is just flat out impossible to get here in the US (legally) unless I found a collector with a pre-ban willing to part with it for sane person money, which is about as likely to happen as me voting a liberal into office. But Jimmy here thinks I can walk down to the nearest 7/11, slap a wooden nickel and some used bubblegum on the counter, and walk away with an armory (only in a perfect world. . . ).
9:37 I’m actually from saugerties where the family you’re talking about is from, and it’s far from suburban. There are a few neighborhoods that wouldn’t look too out of place in suburbia, but it’s mostly rural
dove too deep in the comments section, deeper than I've ever gone before. I don't know what purpose this comment serves, since the video is 3 years old and I even saw a few comments claiming that emplemon doesn't like this video as much anymore. But there are a few points that were made in this video, that I feel were less nuanced than they should have been. It's 2021, which means I have the luxury of speaking about this as a thing that happened in the past, and also with all the knowledge of the three years since this video was posted. So firstly, did I hear correctly that he was claiming race relations and/or racism weren't a problem because obama was president? That almost sounds like someone trying to start crap with other people. While it's true that no man wants to be seen as guilty of any kind of sexual assault, and most men if approached will loudly proclaim their disgust at the thought, there are still numerous accounts from women all over different parts of the internet, who've had an experience where a man made them feel unsafe in public, or in private, or touched them inappropriately, or coerced them into sexual activity. There are too many stories about people with lots of evidence against them still getting out of any charges or consequences. Sexual assault, in all its forms, is still an issue many women have to deal with. Not to mention male victims. I really have never heard anyone say that white people are evil, or can't have problems, but those are claims I hear from people making slippery slope arguments about how the criticism of how white people act sometimes in relation to people of color will lead to white people being silenced or some garbage. You had to have edited that clip right? The one where Barr says to vote if you want change, and then Kimmel supposedly calls her crazy? There are other points in the video which come off as an oversimplification, like talking about how all liberals are crazy, where you seem to define 'liberal' as anyone who is trying to talk about social justice issues.
Yeah, I literally just did the same thing you did because this video's political slant is terrible. I hate Jimmy Kimmel, but this shit was so out and out bad I became more invested in the bad politics takes from Emp over the Jimmy Kimmel hate lol. It's just so naive. Like, who tf thinks race relations would really be solved if we stopped talking about it, or that since we had a black president racism was no longer a serious problem in America??? That liberal media is actually what keeps race being a huge issue, not racist laws being codified into the fabric of America's legal system. Or the idea that #metoo was a Hollywood problem, when it was started by a black woman outside of hollywood, and the stats show women are accosted in any setting, and that most rapes go underreported, undercharged, and unsolved.
Or that "peace with n Korea" was ever on the table lol. N Korea got to legitimize itself by getting that meeting. They had no intention of disarming or rejoining with S Korea.
Or even denying that Trump isn't a proto fascist who would totally seize power if he could, as we saw on 1/6.
This is the type of shit you say when you're 19, and you think you've got it all figured out and actually both sides are bad, and I'm gonna stay in the middle because that's actually where the truth is. Someone else in the comment said it best, even though they actually meant it as a compliment, that this video is better at redpilling people than most conservative commentators. And that's probably something he did not intend.
I'm glad I found your comment, considering the rest of the comments here just praised the video and said it "aged like fine wine." Nah bro, the video was spoiled the day it came out. Only accurate thing in it is that Jimmy Kimmel eats ass.
I went back to this video because some people in a megaman 7 ost video said you used it in this vid. Ima keep my ears pitched 6:42 thats it there it is, the reason I am watching this for the 3rd time 8:48 wow you like junk man this much?
That Kobe joke didn't age well, but neither did Biden. Roll on snare

12:44 Actually Communist but yes both systems are equally awful (Oh yes and I’ve had to go Bisexual one because it’s honestly how I am, and two just to be accepted by half of America’s people)
Yeah I'm not a republican I'm a Democrat and I've always agreed with a lot of liberal views in the past when it actually meant something you know like African Americans and white people sharing bathrooms and they're not being segregated schools and they're being peace for everybody and love and respect for your neighbor but Jimmy Kimmel is pushing along with his pals is pushing this country into a true downward spiral
I don't think politics should be mixed with these sorts of programs. Fallon had the right idea. I will say thst it isn't fair to generalizd the liberals as some sort of huve mind that attacks all that trump does. What do you think the Republicans did every second of Obama's administration. Arguably, they went down a similar route of radicalization through different means. I'm an independent and for that reason I like to argue for what is fair and minimally generalizing as possible. This isnt to say that there is a lot of liberals who do this though. God knows there are some who mindlessly fire at every movment he makes. However, it is a slippery slope to say all do because some times he does do things thst warrents resistance.
But, Idk about the stuff you claimed at the end. Conservatism doesn't per se oppose change, just change that disavows and disregards fundamental and conservative principles and ideals.
I just think a lot of people want a break from politics and try to watch some tv and that’s all you see now. There is no escape from politics now and that’s why people hate all of this.
I agree about the celebrity thing. They do some messed up stuff that needs to be considered before promoting them on the show. To be fair though. What they do and what trump allegedly did in his past aren't of the same importance. When you choose to be president there is a higher moral standard put on you. Clebs should follow that too but no celebrity has more influence then the president. A hollywood star being seen doing questionable things is one thing but the president doing it is something totally different. Honestly, if it was one thing i think many could look the other way. Like with Clinton. Many wanted him to be reprimanded but not removed. With Trump, the problem is that it is a large amount of really questionable things. It makes it so it is hard to ignore. We have women growing up who need to have a moral leader to look up to who at least pretends to respect them. If I had a daughter I wouldn't be able to explain why trump, the person who should be their role model, is allowed to lead.
I know I'm 2 years late with this response but I watched this video when it came out and this is the 2nd time I'm watching it & I always kinda had a problem with your point about race relations. Disclaimer: this is probably gonna be kinda long & I'm mostly gonna talk about antiblack racism because I'm black and I can't speak for other experiences for POC. Listen, I don't expect Jimmy Kimmel to have a very deep and expanded understanding of racism in America. His understanding is pretty much: Trump bad, diversity good (diversity is good but that's not the only solution). Even if he did have some sort of deep knowledge of it, he'd probably just be censored as actual leftist politics could probably jeopardize someone's career in a place like Hollywood that has just now changed to a center to barely left image.
Anyway in the video you give the impression that racism isn't a big problem anymore because of the Civil Rights movement and Obama. I dont know if you actually belive that but thats just how it's portrayed in the video. Just because the Civil Rights movement happened and Obama was president for 2 terms doesn't mean that racism is solved or not as prevalent. Racism still exists, it just has a different face now. It's covert. You don't see people in KKK uniforms being praised by the public anymore, everything is kinda like dogwhistles now. An example would be that video of the racist woman in the park with her dog & how she threatened to call the cops on the black man recording her because he said dogs without a leash weren't allowed. She doesn't flat out say anything racist but the way she acts and speaks in the video is very coded. She knows that the cops would most likely take her side because she's white and also a woman. This is also why microaggresions are very much real and prevalent now. It's just very light and/or coded racism because like I said earlier, it's not trendy to be overtly racist anymore. Microaggresions that I go through alot are people telling me: "I talk and act white" because I don't speak in full blown AAVE (African American Venecular English), dress alternative, and don't only listen to rap. Or very weird comments about my hair not being the "good texture"
Also, systemic racism is a thing. Racism has been around for a very long time so in turn it affects every institution, system, etc. For example, have you ever thought about why black people tend to live in poorer conditions or not have as much money? It's because of systemic racism. I'm not saying that no black person can ever be rich or something. I'm saying that there are systems in place that make it harder to do so if you're black.
I agree that there are other problems in the world that isn't just racism but in the video it seems like you're diminishing just how big of a problem it is. We can still talk and find solutions for more than 1 problem.
It's been like 2 years so idk if you've changed your stance on this but I just wanted to make a comment about it. I agree with some of the video as some of it is still kinda relevant. & before someone asks, no I'm not a Democrat or liberal.
@Liar With A Gun @Liar With A Gun @Liar With A Gun I agree that the systems that we live in effect everyone and it's not just a racism issue. there's obviously still classism, mysoginy, homophobia, etc. But I was specifically talking about black people and racism because I felt that it was the main point I could really speak on since I'm black and it's just what I wanted to respond to based on the video. Systemic racism is the source for a lot of black peoples problem but it's obviously not the only one and it's a much more complex issue. Also, I didn't mention too much about white people because I'm not white and can't speak for white people.
I would say im more trump then non trump and honestly i never saw the jimmy kimmel thing until just now but I would say that that was worth a chuckle i actually found that funny. Like May? hes not gonna last till may lol.
Why is every single one of your videos completely accurate and well-made?
I used to be subscribed, then I unsubbed after not watching for a while. Recently I watched a couple of your videos and realized why I subscribed in the first place. I'm now subbed again with all notifications on!
god the thing about politics is so. annoying. Ignoring everything else I think about this, the second someone like Jimmy Kimmel's taxes actually get raised from what he's saying he's almost certainly going to backpedal.
Its nearly been three years since you've made this video and watching the ending right now is kind of disgusting.
You're roasting some liberals pretty good, ngl, but the way you're generalizing all of this when its clearly not even the majority of democrats is just not healthy for your democracy. You have one party that needs to have a better focus on politics. But the other party nominates people who believe QAnon and doesnt allow their politicians to say the simple truth that trump won the election. Thats far worse than just some stupid liberal saying on twitter that only black people are poor. Its killing your democracy and you should recognize this. Your whole system nearly collapsed in the beginning of 2021, yet your still not able to see what caused this - and its not just Trump, he just put gasoline in the already burning fire and showed everyone how dumb the average republican is to think this election was rigged and how far they'll go to hold on the power.
Liberals were joking 4 years about trump after "they" lost. A lot of republican voters tried to kill all of the politicians who simply accept the truth that trump lost. Thats a huge difference, objectively.
What I want to say is: be angry about stupid liberals and try to change their party - which certainly is possible. But dont forget that they are the far less evil in this country. The republicans are beyond change. You cant even say the plain truths without getting cancelled there
I think discussing Jimmy Kimmel is an important topic. Why is he so revered enough that he can host prestegious award shows and so many other important media assets?
It's his reputation. He had a very down to earth comedy career two decades ago and although they are all niche, they resonated with people as unapologetically artful and lowbrow, but quality in the sense they did not compromise like what Holywood stereotypically is known for.
Because of that reputation, Hollywood has been trying to use him as a surrogate for quality, but of course the grime of tacky commercialism is slowly killing him anyway.
Oh my gosh, so I usually watch you while eating my breakfast in the morning, before I go to school. Today I was watching this video, I just got to class, and the first thing my teacher put on is a Jimmy Kimmel video about politics. I CANNOT RN.
If there are idiots saying that Black Panther is the first superhero movie with a black actor as the main hero and must be praised because of the fact that there are black people... Then what about the Blade trilogy? Did people forget about Blade? Because he was a much more badass superhero than Black Panther.
Better question: are they now racist for forgetting about Blade?
Black Panther matters more than Blade ever will because it shows that a movie can be commercially successful even if it's cast is 90% black. It gives young black kids around the world role models that look like them and the inspiration that naturally follows. Blade didn't really do that until Blade II, and even then, it wasn't a contemporary setting with things that kids could truly relate to. It's true that Blade did well commercially, but it never came close to having the cultural impact that Black Panther has had.
Will Howes Wtf are you talking about? Blade is one of the most popular Marvel characters of all time. The ONLY reason Black Panther did so well was because of the recent trend of emphasising black people in the media (BLM) to the point that anything involving them cannot possibly be bad, otherwise you're a "racist".
The main reason that the Blade trilogy did mediocre at best at the box office is because the movies weren't that good. It also didn't help that they came before the MCU when most marvel movies outside of Spiderman 1+2 were subpar and didn't have the appeal they do now. If Black Panther was released in the early 2000's I'd guarantee it wouldn't do nearly as good as its done, its really more of a time thing than what race was focused on in the film.
Blade is a cool character, I would really enjoy seeing more of him. Though, Hollywood would probably have an aneurysm and over hype the shit out of him.
Tracer Blade may very well have been incredibly popular in the comics, but teens growing up today are reading far less comics and watching far more movies and TV shows. Even if the blade comics were great, the movies didn't do him justice, and the depiction of the African American struggle in those movies isn't nearly as well done as it is in Black Panther. You can dislike Black Panther and not be racist, anyone saying otherwise is an extremist and, regardless of what it's related to, extremism is never good. People love Black Panther because the movie serves as a reason NOT to be extreme, that's literally the plot. The majority of people aren't freaking out the movies critics because they are "racist," it's just the extremists who take it that far. Ignorant people are often the loudest. Anybody telling you that black people can do no wrong is incorrect because all people, regardless of race, have the ability to do wrong. I don't know what media you watch to get the impressions you do, but I'd like to think that the media is less so trying to say that people of color are infallible, but rather that they aren't the only ones commiting crimes. I could go on about institutional race issues (disproportiate mass incarceration of non-violent low level black drug offenders despite equal usage rates among all races), but that isn't the point I'm making. My point is that Black Panther has made a cultural impact greater than the Blade franchise was able to do.
I'm an old-fashioned liberal and my core belief is that we should try our hardest to make every living creature happy. but today's liberals are like something out of the twilight zone.
@locusarete tbh that ideology alone isn't what made them like that and I'm sure there's more reasons. America feels like it's gotten more sensitive and edgy at the same time and there's a big divide so the other side just fuels the other
I truly think most liberals aren’t like what you see on the news and on Twitter. I’m a liberal but I’m not socialist, I don’t like Trump but I don’t think he’s the worst president ever, I like Biden but I don’t think he’s the best democrat candidate we could have gotten, and I have both conservative and centrist friends. I have a feeling most other liberals are like this, based on what I see in my daily life.
@Master of Disguise Yeah you are definitely right. Most of what we see on media is the extremes, to be honest. There's a ton of extreme Democrats and at the same time there's a bunch of extreme Republicans, but neither of them should define the party.
@clerp please be quiet. The media just reported the votes, there was almost no bias there. Even for organizations like CNN, they still reported the votes to the best of their abilities and very rarely would one see a bias in the projections.
@Master of Disguise Media also called the election even though they've no legal right to do so. "almost no bias"; right, lol.
Very rarely? Leftists cried about the last election having Russian bias for the last four years, and now you want people to trust the voting process despite the media predominately leaning to the left? Funny funny.
@clerp they have every right to call the election, it’s not official of course but it’s practically guaranteed that Biden will win based on the lead he has in key states as well as the trend in incoming votes much preferring Biden.
@clerp in 2016 there was actual evidence to suggest vote tampering. It was investigated, and it was actually shown that Russia interfered. Not enough to change the votes in Trump’s favor, but there definitely was interference. This year, there is absolutely no evidence of any major voter fraud going on, the Trump campaign is only filing baseless lawsuits because they lost.
@clerp I would be totally okay with an investigation, if there was any evidence to suggest mass voter fraud. There isn’t any. They should concede, and if any evidence comes up to suggest fraud, then it should be investigated.
Mission: copy the link to EmpLemon's video and go to the video I linked to and in the comment section of that Jimmy Kimmel video spam the hell outta that link yo emp's video get this message to everyone so we can have a win for the war against the normies.
Ikr it's because we've been trained to not engage in discourse anymore instead we just bash back and forth
And worse when someone legitimately tries to offer genuine criticism like this guy and this video, it's so ingrained in us to view all criticisms as attacks and we just flatly dismiss it It's that reductionist arguments that both sides use: Liberals: "what? You don't want to give black panther 5 star reviews? You're a racist!" Conservatives: "what? You don't want to spend millions on the military? You hate America and want it to be invaded!"
Why would you care when you have televised Conservative talk-radio via FOX News supporting virtually every action or statement his administration demonstrates?
I tend to support... facts and credible sources, but late night personalities are more satirists than journalists.
;)
I mean, I remember with Trump actively sought the passing of the AHCA while publicly praising the Australian Healthcare system. If Jimmy Kimmel is insufferable, I can only imagine how much of a joke Trump is when the entirety of the UN assembly laughed at him, lol.
kimmel used to be on a show that ended with women on trampolines. now he's preaching to america about treating women with respect. and his monologue after the vegas shooting was full of SOOOOOO much false information about gun regulation it could be considered as nothing other than propaganda.
I personally think that no body has all of the "cure all" answers in a political system, but instead everybody has a peace of the puzzle that they need to bring to the table. When we distance our self from each other it brews indifference, and that indifference makes us forget that whom every it may be has a peace. If anybody can prove this idea wrong then I would be genuinely supersized
bob bob the bob Facts. The political and financial elite benefits massively for the people being divided, which is why we're constantly pitted against one another, leaving them free to pull off any shenanigans they want. We should be united and work together, but sadly we're getting further and further away from each other
While I dislike Trump, I think Emp is on to something when he points out how far some liberals have gone. It sucks that there's no middle ground in political parties.
middle ground just seems like saying "its complicated" and never thinking anything through to the end. everyone knows the "facts" but you can probably draw an unlimited amount of different conclusions from these "facts", centrists just draw none. i mean how can you even be a centrist?
@They call me Andres. Because it's my name. i just want to add, that there is nothing wrong with not choosing a side, and just doing/supporting whats best for you at the moment, i just don't think its in any way morally superior to do that.
daft mell it’s like in Witcher, “Evil is evil Stregobor, lesser, greater, middling... If I am to choose between one evil and another, I rather not choose at all”
@daft mell I don’t really side with a political party bc, to me, issues being “complicated” means you should be able to support individual political beliefs rather than having to support every belief of one ideology or the other
@uranium54321 but that doesn't mean that your beliefs are centered.
the difference is that peoplr that play as a team and support their party or ideology win, even if they don't agree entirely, unlike lone wolves that pretend that there is no ideology or idea that doesn't match their ideas alteast 90% of the time.
daft mell that was actually from the book first so checkmate, but the point is if you don’t believe on either side, don’t choose and whatever happens isn’t up to you
Don’t refer to yourself as a leftist, say liberal or Democrat leftist implies a wider range of views of which Democrat is one of the more moderate ones
Um... No sane rational person refers to themselves as a "leftist." That's a fictitious term (I use the word loosely) made up by fringe right-wing media to label a broadly centrist to liberal leaning people and beyond. Xenon stop trying to impersonate.
XenonMax leftist is the people that complain about insignificant problems like which bathroom a transgender should go to and are triggered at everything
@Noah Jacks the guy I'm replying to said that 'leftists are the ones who complain about insignificant problems like which bathroom a transgender should go to." I'm just correcting him that 'leftists' don't complain, they're trying to fix stigmas and remove hurtful rulings, and in fact, the people that complain about this are the right, not the left.
You shouldn’t be ashamed but you sure as hell should be mad that there are people in the same political area with you, twisting everything you believe in for there own personal gain
@Chris Li I use leftist as a way to seperate the irrational left leaning people from more moderate ones who I call liberals (in the modern American sense not the classical liberal denotation of freedom).
@lingojac, as much as corporatist hawk Democrat types like to think, some people DO characterize themselves as "leftists." I know socialists and progressives who want to make sure to separate themselves from the term "liberal" because that represents the current neo-liberal DNC.
20 years ago I considered myself basically progressive: anti-war, pro-free speech, etc. now I consider myself more libertarian though because so many people call themselves progressive but advocate for bureacracy and authoritarianism.
To me, yr basic neocon or neolib is pretty much interchangeable. BASICALLY whether it's Clinton, Bush, Obama or Trump, they've all eroded the 4th amendment, bloated the military, rolled back constitutional freedoms and utilized literal concentration camps like Guantanamo bay.
I love how Jimmy Kimmel can make fun of a foreign accent, but if someone else that (I kinda hate that I have to say this) is slightly right of center would have death threats.
"The Roast of Donald Drumpf" should be the new name of "Jimmy Kimmel Live" either way he calls himself a SJW even though he harassed women and commited black face.
Jimmy "Jimbo" Neutron and Jimmy Fallon > Jimmy Kimmel
As a liberal, I feel offended by Jimmy Kimmel and how he misrepresents most liberals.
lol i live in the states and i couldnt tell the difference between them. if i'm honest, most famous people who are b to low a-list celebs look alike to me.
nice video! but on the point of carefully using your influence, this video currently has 2.5 million views. rich men are not the only rapists out there. I believe you pushed that point too far. claiming that the only people who get away with rape are rich powerful people is very ignorant.
Yes, friends. I agree. Jimmy Kimmel is also my favorite talk show host. And also the only one I watch. I especially love the part where he makes fun of Drumpf. (Insert laughing emoji) #OrangeManBad#Resist
Loritorinco Can-cervatives? I do not yet have this insult, adding to list.exe. NPC meme is dehumanizing you should only use it to describe deplorable nazis. You should have talk show, you are very original. I would appreciate to hear more of your human talk about the bad people that like orange man. #orangeisthenewbad
Jimmy is a fake. It doesn't matter who you support you *DON'T INDOCTRINATE POLITICS INTO FAMILY-FRIENDLY SHOWS*. I'm thinking many of these syndicalists would fit-in better with North Korea.
I was gonna say the opposite. this video aged bad and sounds like typical cis white guy on a weird pedestal. the kobe joke, random prince death shot, talking about NK as fascist without any mention of american fascism, etc. i'll stick to the spongebob videos from now on where i get less of his bias and aggro white guy frustration "but what about libs??" talk
@julian they literally cannot. Their arguments only work on Facebook when they can be performative and pose like they’re touching the third rail by saying RACISM BAD
@QWERTburneracct do u seriously think people’s viewpoints are mostly based on their skin color and gender, because if you do, what kind of reality are u living in? By that logic, every single woman is a feminist and every black man supports BLM, which is far from the truth. Here u are getting triggered about a white person reasonably criticizing kimmel and liberals for being absolutely crazy nowadays. What’s next, you gonna send me a reply in all caps if I say there’s technically only two genders?
@julian i mean, I've already stated exactly what I didnt like about the video. I didn't just say "hes white so its bad". You guys are the weirdos saying "what does race have to do with anything" and im not teaching you about the implications of race in America lol
@Liam McGuire lmao go off Liam! You guys tried to tell me race and gender has nothing to do with it, I said it totally does because I live on the planet earth, and you turned that into "peoples viewpoints are mostly based on their skin color and gender. All women should be feminists and all black people should support BLM." If nuance isn't your cup of tea thats not my issue. I stated several things I think aged bad about the video and you got triggered by the words "cis and white", focused there and projected it onto me. Im sorry that your background matters and I know it would make your internet arguing a lot easier if we pretended these things dont exist but... they do :/
@QWERTburneracct not really I’m not saying they don’t matter, I’m saying that those are factors that don’t or barely even factor in to people’s views. Like EmpLemon said in the vid, liberals nowadays don’t treat people like people. They look at others and act like their race and gender is their defining trait when it is not. Their tactic is to fight racism . . . with more racism. And I applied your own logic against you in that “by that logic, all women and should be feminists and all blacks support BLM”. The point of that was to show how faulty saying a person’s gender and race has major influence on their sociopolitical views
@QWERTburneracct Bruh you literally said “cis white male bad” as if him being a black trans wahmen would make his opinion more valid. If you want a place to hate white people just go to a BLM rally
Those two things are just easy answers that people throw out when asked how to reduce gun violence. They don't work, but they've been repeated so many times people believe it without questioning it.
Well then, what does work? Cause I've heard some arguments (Fox) stating that what America needs to stop gun violence is MORE guns, which is just stupid of course.
Australia pretty much banned guns back in the 90s after a mass shooting. Haven't heard any news about shootings there since then.
Doesn't it stand to reason that Less guns = less gun violence?
@Nico Legasto This is gonna be a long post but a few things link together and it gets complicated so please read all of it before responding.
There are three types of gun deaths.
1)Suicide. This one makes up about 1/3 of the deaths, and while tragic, it can't be blamed on guns. Yes it is the most effective way to do it and there's no turning back, but guns are not the actual issue in these deaths.
2) justified self defense. Pretty self explanatory. These are instances where a gun saves a life.
3) murders and assaults: these are the main argument against gun ownership and what I'll be focusing on.
4) accidental. This one's pretty easy. More education. Maybe replace sex Ed with firearm safety classes? God knows sex Ed doesn't do anything.
Ok let's understand who what and where the shootings occur. The overwhelming majority of (non self defense) shootings that take place have 4 things in common.
1)They happen in low income neighborhoods. Usually ghetto and the projects and typically turf for gangs.
2)The people involved in the shootings are part of a violent and illegal organization. Gangs, cartels, etc.
3) the shootings occur with already illegally owned guns. Whether that be stolen, built or bought on the black market.
4) The overwhelming, vast majority are done with pistols
And that third and fourth point is where I argue more guns laws will do nothing to stop gun violence. We HAVE laws that stop it. They are already being broken. The people that walk into a gun store and buy a rifle commit murders so infrequently, that it's a statistical rounding error. And pistols, are by far the most heavily restricted gun. The majority of states require you to be 21, and pass two separate background checks before you can buy one. But that clearly isn't working, because again, pistols make up the overwhelming majority of murders.
The guns are getting stolen, and used to kill people, bypassing any laws that stop people from buying them. And with this many guns and owners in the US, it's not exactly hard to steal one. And don't believe any gun owners are willing to turn them in. Research buy back program success.
So my solution? There's not a perfect one. But a great place to start is funding lower income neighborhoods and community programs to keep people off the streets.
But I can say for sure more intrusive gun laws won't work.
did you watch the video? he literally states the reasons why, you also don't understand that most guns arent sold legally and therefore no background checks can occur and sure, laws might have a slight effect but it isn't worth buying back the guns when many of them are illegal (and yet again they're illegal so impossible to track or run bg checks)
@JoeChemo so what Emp said was “they want more legistrations, legistrations don’t work, even if you ban guns there’s still going to be gun violence” like yeah, no shit, but first: No one is asking to ban all guns And second: That argument doesn’t work, yeah there gonna be crimes, it would be like saying “why male drunk driving illegal? There’s still gonna be drunk drivers!”
I live in Czechia and I have the US screaming that their leader is an evil fascist while suffering no consequences for saying that on one side, and Turkey and Ukraine burning to the ground from real fascism on the other.
I am completely against Trump's policies on many fronts, but I will say the far left and right are taking things a bit too far. America's political fabric seems to be ping-ponging between one extreme to another, and I think most of us in the middle are just hoping everyone can calm down. I mean, "A house divided against itself, cannot stand." -Abe Lincoln
George Washington was vehemently against political factionalism, “However [political parties] may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."
It's time for a bit of common sense folks, we are a nation, not democrats or republicans.
chuckfish6 _ Ping-ponging between one extreme to another?
The United States has been dominated by two parties, one that ranges from centre-right to moderate right, and another that ranges from moderate-right to far-right, and both have been moving rightward as time goes on. Like, the mainstream Democratic Party is vehemently opposed to Bernie Sanders because they view him as too far left, despite the fact the man is a damn moderate, a Social Democrat.
Prior to Sanders, the last time the United States even had any political movement that was left of centre was when MLK was talking about how the United States needed to take a revolutionary step away from capitalism and towards socialism, way back in the 60s, and it didn't even have a party to represent it. By comparison, MLK was to the left of Sanders.
The United States, as a nation that is safely in the hands of two right-wing parties, both of whom do everything they can to maintain power in the hands of the rich and already powerful, doesn't have a problem with factionalism. Both parties are on the same side.
Americans largely don't give a fuck about celebrities anymore, at least not in the way it once did. Hollywood is falling apart. It's so bad that the Golden Globes were canceled this year, not wanting a repeat of the Oscars flop.
@That0neGuy ignoring decades of lazy opportunistic comedy bits that relied on easy down-punching.... but being concerned that the real problem is when lazy opportunistic comedy poked fun at a sitting president. Which for one isn't punching down, for another should be assumed of basically any broadly aimed nighttime comedy show as a staple. Also if your analysis ends up making favorable comparisons to the even more vapid comedy of Fallon as a better direction, you've truly missed the mark.
Emp, you should realllllly stear clear of politics. I like your content, but the liberal bashing and Trump worship just serves to limit your audience. And it just seems off brand anyway.
Except there hasn’t been any ISIS attacks correlated to the Syrian airfield bombing. Most ISIS attacks post-bombing were not around (or in) the cities that were bombed. That’s the point I’m trying to make.
The word bigot would imply that Trump is intolerable of people who disagree with him. He would only be bigoted against a large amount of Left-leaning news outlets if we’re going textbook here.
@Mustardy Boi You don't understand. The attack on the airfields affected the entire Middle East. Assad was on the verge of defeating ISIS, and the bombings allowed ISIS to recover. They regained their strength and continued attacking towns all over the Middle East.
The first Emplemon video I really dislike. Not for the Jimmy Kimmel bullshit, idc about that. But he's just wrong about of stuff and is actually doing a lot of what he's complaining about. And obviously this video didn't age well.😂
I hate every single late night talk show ever. I respect Conan and I liked Colbert when he was on a show that fit him, but every single one of these shows are boring, fake and vapid. It's like eating a block of matter. So glad I never watch TV.
Also I honestly think Jimmy Kimmel's agenda is more about what will get him views and what the "safe" opinion is. That's why he never talks about real issues because those are harder for the average audience to swallow.
You sure about that? Even the North Korea thing, Trump was oh so tough on twitter, but then had the spine of a wet spaghetti noodle and said "he fell in love with Kim Jong" Of course 2 nut ball ego maniacs who both feel completely above the law and rules of society, were bound to fall in love.
This was a fantastic video I didn't expect after watching your current content. I just want to watch entertainment without a lecture and was so glad to see ratings on sports dying while trying to be political.
I am genuinely surprised that Kimmel has been around so long. Putting aside that he is now a puppet for pop movement advocate Disney, He is so completely void of talent its annoying. I don't think he has noticed that while he's been running the same jokes that were never funny for over 4 years, his ratings have got worse than the jokes. What a muppet.
2015: “trump, am I right? ”. 1,000,000 viewers: 🤣 2016: “trump, am I right?”. 500,000 viewers: 🤣 2017: “trump, am I right?”. 250,000 viewers: 🤣 2018: “trump, am I right?”. 125,000 viewers: 🤣 2019: “trump, am I right?”. 62,500 viewers: 🤣 2020: “trump, am I right?”. 31,250 viewers: 🤣 2021: “trump, am I right?”. 48 viewers: 🤣
Conclusion: “yup, I still got it. They love this shit!”
I really can't help but feel sympathy for Roseanne Barr, and I don't typically do that for people I've either never heard of or don't really know, but it's actually heartbreaking to see Jimmy invite her onto his show to just absolutely bully her infront of a live studio audience. It's absolute shit that he was just allowed to do this and get away with it. Especially since she wasn't that far from the truth. He just brought her up on this pedestal so he could make an ass out of her infront of the entire country so that even less people would take her seriously, effectively silencing the competitive viewpoint that she offered.
I mean this video was cool and all but that unhinged rant about liberals near the end was so cringe. Literally just parroting straw-man arguments from 2016 from people who don’t understand what most of the words they say mean or have any kind of political literacy outside of “SJW bad”. Ironically enough, you’re basically doing what Jimtard Kimmel does with Trump, but just replacing Trump with liberals.
There's a reason Jimmy Kimmel is always the last in the talk show lineup. He persists only via inertia. That being said, I'm a libtard and I quit watching talk shows a long time before they became the trump twitter hour.
Although Steven Colbert and John Oliver almost never compliment Trump, they actually try to talk about other things, and make an effort to be entertaining, unlike Jimmy Blackface over here
If you internalize that people are rich, successful, happy, or content because of x, y, z that you can't control, you just gave up on your own independence because you just accepted that no matter what you do you are completely incapable of satisfying yourself. I think pushing scapegoating is disgusting and pacifies the public (the scapegoat and the escaped goat) from actually believing in themselves or taking responsibility for their life. It makes it harder for people to take themselves seriously and make something of their life by trying to name away their problems. Regardless of whether it's true that society is jaded against you for some discriminatory reason, don't let that feeling of helplessness get to you because you have to believe that you are capable and DESERVE to be content and accept yourself independently of what society, or culture, or anybody makes of you. At the end only you have control over your own motivation, work ethic, and attitude, so why not choose to have a mindset that will keep you growing and pushing forward rather than settling that it's impossible for you to meet your own expectations? There are fucked up people in the world who make life harder for others but if you take yourself seriously, you might actually have a standing chance at demonstrating that what the world, society, or anyone says about you doesn't define you. Make the choice to define yourself.
25:32 I feel like if this video was made nowadays, one of the things on the list would be "Trying to get rid of "problematic" things." I.E. Elmer Fudd's gun, Mr. Potato Head, Pepe Le Pew
To think this guy got to host the Oscars but Kevin Hart who is very successful and talented lost his opportunity over a very old joke which he told because he is a comedian is just unfathomable. I've always mistaken this guy for Jimmy Fallon because I had never seen his show and they look similar but man I regret that, Jimmy Fallon is a lot compared to this guy.
Jimmy Fallon had to eventually hop on the train of bashing Trump. I seriously don't think it was something that he wanted to do but, had to do to keep the ratings up. Hating on Trump eventually became pop culture. Even after his presidency it's still mainstream to bash him. I'm cool with making fun of politicians as long as it's not one sided and is the entirety of the bit. It just gets old real quick and becomes unfunny and annoying. Comedy is subjective though
The only time I’ve ever heard someone compliment Jimmy Kimmel, they had him confused with the guy who slaps his desk all the time. EDIT: Desk-slapper’s name is Jimmy Fallon
This might be my favorite YouTube video. It's always the first place I go to whenever I need to just vent out my frustrations on how far the left has fallen.
You lost me at your gun control argument. Not that my piddling opinion matters. Yes, Jimmy uses tragedy for personal gain. However, your take on gun control is garbage. The simplistic side of the gun argument ALWAYS falls on the gun lobby. They have the same pick and roll routine:
-Too soon to talk about guns. People are mourning. -If you change any gun law, GOOD LAW ABIDING gun owners are punished and nothing changes. -The best cure for gun violence is a well-armed society. -Therefore, concealed carry and open carry are the only answers.
Yes, the gun argument is a lot more nuanced. But that nuance is not allowed, and you are perpetuating that lack of nuance with your horseshit take on a problem that is unique to the United States. For not liking the NRA, you sure seem to be carrying their water by turning the OTHER side into screaming extremists. What crap.
Yeah but from what I’ve heard he talks about trump now, but idk if it’s true or not. Plus he kinda talked about trump by making trump jokes here and there, but not nearly as much as the others.
Still a brilliant video, but one of the few things I disagree with hard is the idea that so few americans are blatantly racist, because as someone who live in a semi-rural area, there are racist asshole EVERYWHERE, much of my family included. The point still stands though that there are more pressing problems and most race issues can be greatly helped by fixing class issues in general
Jimmy Kimmel is a show I'll watch if the remotes across the room. It's not bad enough to get up and get the remote but isn't good enough to watch if I had that goddamn remote!
Innovation follows a similar process to evolution, meaning that there will be plenty of products and ideas that will fail due to being useless and redundant while others become successful due to being revolutionary and useful. This process of course, is driven by the competitive free market.
@MyCure049 so how about that innovation with Internet Service Providers, where other countries have internet that is 7x faster than ours (South Korea). Or landlords who literally buy properties to raise the price of property to be too high for average Americans so they are forced to rent and spend vastly more money on borrowing a house they can basically get kicked out of any time than they would on their own home if land lords didnt exist. That's some real innovation right there.
Lizzy Trip The first example, that being South Korean Internet providers, shows innovation as they are out competing they’re American counterparts through quality of service and pricing. The second example could lead to innovation if other landlords provide lower costs and higher quality of service in order to outcompete their more stingy counterparts. However, if there is a trust or a monopoly of sorts in that part of the market, than yes there won’t be any innovation since there isn’t competition. Remember, I’m taking about a free market, not unrestricted Capitalism.
Lizzy Trip Well there you go then, there is no innovation because there is a monopoly. Monopolies hinder the free market which limits competition and thus innovation.
I know it might seem like no one actually likes jimmy kimmel himself, but I saw the comment section for a compilation video of him crying and... I just totally lost faith in humanity. There's MILLIONS of people liking and commenting, praising jimmy, saying he's a Saint, it was baffling.
Not sure if this aged well post-Covid. The Trump presidency was every bit as bad as the deranged liberals insisted, if not necessarily for the same reasons. I think a better tack to take was Kimmel's long history of latching on to trends for self-promotion. His Man Show was essentially Trump philosophy on television.
People like him are the reason why I'm a far leftist. I hate centrist libs more than conservatives; at least conservatives don't pretend that "both sides" can work together lol, and think they're enlightened Centrists
"gun violence in america is an incredibly complex issue with no definite solution" Just go Australia's way or something like that? gun licenses? I seriously do not understand the argument that it would not almost / completely remove gun violence. But that's just my view. Good video overall though, i agree with most of your arguments.
(I don't like free and un-vetted gun ownership! I'm saying this now to remove all doubt)
It's difficult because unlike Australia the right for access to firearms is written into very the foundation of the country
Australia never had such an privilege granted by its government to the rest of it's citizens become a right therefore it was easier to put the restrictions
Rights are guarantees from the government that it must provide to it's citizens, a privilege is something that you are offered in good faith
That's why it's so difficult to offer up changes, there has only ever been one change to an existing amendment (the 18th prohibition) and even then it was extremely difficult and time consuming
So you can imagine trying to downgrade a right into a privilege will be met with intense scrutiny and criticism from all sides
My number one thing a job application should never ask about race because why does that need to be asked. No one deserves to be treated different because of ur race RACE SHOULD NOT MATTER
Does anyone else remember what that Stormy Daniels controversy was about? All I remember was it being another case of Trump’s supposed infidelity. I honestly met some people who liked Trump more after those allegations came out.
The thing I find most puzzling about this video is the "this is why liberals keep losing and why everyone hates liberals" line as if liberalism had become this overwhelmingly unpopular thing. It hasn't aged well now that Biden won by basically being not Trump, but even in 2018 it's not like liberals/Democrats were being consistently dominated; it's just that there was currently a Republican president. And that president didn't even win the popular vote in 2016. Liberals are the majority in the US, not fringe extremists.
Yeah, his video made a lot of good points. But, ironically, he's missed some very key points. Several of my family members and people I've worked with through the years have demonstrated blatant racism. Like just horrible things. To pretend it's not an ongoing issue is ignorant and regressive.

The point on educational spending is just plain wrong. Yes, the spending per pupil has increased. But corrected for inflation, it actually has gone down.
@MK Gaca In North Korea, people are propagated with anti-american values, and general hatred of the United States. In California, professors are often Marxists (communists/socialists) who call America racist and often teach that the United States is terrible.
@Western Ohio Interurban History California and North Korea aren't communist? North Korea's Juche is closer to fascism(although it does call itself communist to make the lower class complacent) and California is just liberal to the core.
@Western Ohio Interurban History I think you're confused about the meaning of "think about it". Liberal is not the same as communist, by a long shot. and North Korea is not communist, nor were any of the Soviet block countries. Autocracy and forced collectivism are not really what it's about. But yeah, it's always cool to throw "Marxist" into the conversation.
@Western Ohio Interurban History It might have. However, my point is that these two things run orthogonal to each other. And there are many liberals, many of which are not as vocal as the ones that are referenced here. I just find it ridiculous to pretend like some very loud people are supposed to represent the majority. It's also ridiculous to pretend like criticizing certain aspects of one's country makes a person into North Korea level propagandists. Or that "the left" (again, a very broad stroke there, but oh well...) sided with North Korea. Nuance is missing from many a conversation online.
11:43 I disagree this has any meaning because it makes it out that everything is biased but you have to remember that negative news gets more attention this is a misleading statistic
if you rounded up all the male TV presenters that appear on YouTube, you could make the most average middle aged white male movie where they play golf and listen to Neil Diamond
@Dirty Bong Water Yeah, but when over 100 000 people are protesting racial injustice all over America, I would say that race relations are a bit strained rn
@CheapGlass I guess that's true but in practice I haven't seen any of it IRL, then again I live in Texas. The media is really trying it's hardest to promote division amongst us though, Martin Luther King would be pissed, that's for sure
@Dirty Bong Water I never really thought about it like that. Since I live in Liberal Canada, most people talk and support the riots. I just assumed that everyone thought and talked about it the same.
I KNOW!! I WAS TRYING TO HAVE A CIVIL CONVERSATION WITH MY SISTER BC I SAID IT'S NOT VERY FAIR TO JUST SAY "wHiTeS Are privileged" AND SHE CALLED ME RACIST!! WHAAAAT, look honestly I can't have a political conversation without being called a racist!! I know a openly racist anti semitic man and I have had far more respectable conversations with him, it's insane the point we've gotten to
Put an ethnic sounding name on your application and apply for the same job you have. You're 60% more likely to not get a callback. While saying you're racist for not understanding how the average white person gets a leg up is far over exaggerated, saying white people have no advantages is inaccurate. Though the real thing that is disadvantaging most people of color is lack of- and denial of intergenerational wealth. (Another note- poor white people are also often hit by the same things that disadvantage communities of color. Racism isnt as much of a problem as class divide.)
@Gabe Lipsitz Well when media pundits make it seem that way, and it influences others to take on this mindset. I'd read stuff from Colin Flaherty and Brett Weinstein for actual factual perspectives.
With hindsight referring to anti trump movements as "angry" and "outraged" when the other side can't accept he is lost and attempts a coup. Tbh America needs to grow up
Look, I don't like trump and all the stuff he has done, but I also don't like hearing and talking about the guy I don't like. And all this "so and so won and now so and so people are mad" can be said for both sides. MSNBC, Fox news, they are both contributing somewhat to the divisions of these current times. This sort of paranoia is the effect on 20th century war and how no one wins in a war. The cold war is a major time when Americans started to become more paranoid, but the full effects of decades of war started I 2016. When the election tipped the Americans of the cliff of separation and paranoia. These news channels and TV shows are the people who help divide us and profit off of it. And I think emp lemon's political opinion towards the trump side can show how a man who tries to show facts instead of opinion could half of Americans liberals or racist. I don't really get butt hurt over what a random dude calls me, but the comment section of this video is just a battlefield of red vs. blue, "racists" vs. "liberals" it's just a mess how f#cked up the American people have no trust with one another, "I mean why would I trust my president if I can't even trust my local Karen to wear a piece of fabric to stop a BIOLOGICAL WAR."
I agree with most of the sentiments in this video, but the comment about representation is the exception. Representation of minorities in media is important because we're fucking sick of media pretending we just don't exist. It's nice to actually see a character that we can relate to rather than the same exact straight white people as always.
@Boy Yoi Yes, there is. Barring the obvious physical differences, there are also cultural differences.
On top of that, I'm not only talking about racial minorities. I'm trans and it's fucking infuriating that popular media still acts like we don't fucking exist. I'm a generally lonely person, so I really enjoy media in which I can see myself. That's made so much harder when there's so little representation for people like me.
@Boy Yoi Again, it's not that simple. There's a difference between a person's gender and their sex. Gender is a part of a person's identity while sex determined by chromosomes.
It's unwise to make such definitive statements on things you don't understand. You didn't even know what transgender meant and now you're saying it's made up. If you don't understand it, do some research instead of just writing it off.
Alright, if in my favourite film, there is no blonde hair blue eyes guy, am I being misrepresented? Don't you think, that there is a problem, where media tries to shove minorities just so they are there? I honestly dont have a problem, when for example a fact, that a character is gay actually changes the story.
Nope, theres a difference between tokening and actual representation. Representation is: Black panther. Black green arrow characters. Tokening is: Adding black characters for the purpose of only saying "hey we've got a black character".
Nobody needs representation, we need to shut up and get along.
@Potto Dude, what are you saying? The first part is exactly what I said and then you immediately contradicted it. You said there's a difference between representation and tokenization, which we agree on. Tokenization is bad, representation is good. I don't see what the issue is.
@Elijah Jacobs that’s exactly what I’m saying. You’re born a certain sex and you’re born a certain gender, sometimes they’re the same some they’re not.
Agreed on most part but just think you down paddle on most of your statements. "I don't like (insert thing here) But-" keep to your opinion and don't back peddle it makes your points weak and hold way less wait. I am republican if that matters.
Same. I mean I fell in and out w/liking Fallon but now I can honestly say I like the fact that he’s politically neutral or silent about it on his show.
Exactly, Kimmel is just so hypocritical. I really didn't like how he used his son for political reasons. Yes, I do feel bad he is suffering, but that's not the way to go about it.
It was never about helping the Poor the sick. It was about giving them crumbs so they could stay in their ghetto, welfare, sanctuary cities, and away from suburban and upper middle class neighborhood. Try being a minority moving in to those gated communities, and see how the restrictions get much more difficult. Those are your democrats paying your ebt so you stay away.
STRIFE_45 The gated community part, sure. But they're trying to make sure that every single neighborhood has a certain amount of "diversity". They want the Ghetto to spread into the middle class neighborhoods.
@Chris Li I mean, I would say it's a fair point. Politics is always to some degree involved in our daily lives, and affects pretty much everybody. The thing though is that I just wish that things weren't this divided. I wish that we as a society are more able to act like rational adults than just blame everybody else for our problems and divide families divide relationships divide people all for the sake of their ideologies. I'm sick of any division, I'm fucking sick and tired of every ounce of this bullshit and either way if I vote I would feel that I would be outnumbered by a million fucking dumbasses on both opposite sides of the spectrum and that I would be caught between cyborg lizard cthulu monster in human flesh Hillary or sort of brash and isolationist Trump that really ain't what I want either. It's like "Do you wanna die by every nail and limb on your body slowly removed until you slowly bleed out or would you like every bone being trampled on my elephants?" either way it's fucking painful. Idk if I rambled, I mean I'm pretty sure I did, it's just point being that it's getting mentally exhausting and I don't know who to trust anymore. It feels like every one of them could be lying on either side.
@Sans Spiritus yeah I read it when I was 13. Great book. Sometimes a think a dictatorship is exactly what we need. Ignorant brainwashed "voters" can't be trusted for shit. Even if the democracy is genuine, the process is far too slow and the problems we face require swift action. I believe there is a time and a place for various governmental structures. A transition can be made back to democracy once our immediate problems are addressed and the system is fixed. Might take several decades before that though.
@Vox3l-Gl1tch WRONG. Very few people are capable of understanding my higher level of perception. I see life from a holistic view. If you could truly see things without bias, you would agree with me.
@Vox3l-Gl1tch I try not to talk about politics in my everyday life because very few people understand. Here's an example for you. All the presidents have been puppets, handpicked by the puppetmasters - owners and top management of multinational corporations and other members of the 1%.
Secret societies with ancient roots have persisted to this day and have planned and orchestrated every event in our nations history as well as events around the globe. They consolidate power and wealth and are the source of our income inequality, especially here in California. They control politics with their wealth and influence.
Voting is a joke. They control the whole voting pool. No party is trustworthy. The masters won't let anyone into their political administration who isn't a verified, handpicked member of their group. I doubt they would even be allowed to run for office if their views were too extreme.
These are my theories on the US political system and the reason why I don't vote.
@Vox3l-Gl1tch I'll be honest with you though, I voted for the first time last year for the California governor. My grandmother really wanted me to. It was Gavin Newsom vs John Cox. Newsom didn't write anything on the voting book, but Cox had an incredibly moving and inspiring short essay that blew me away. Being stoned at the time, I vibed with it so thoroughly that I wept. I felt like the illuminati had read my mind. "How could this be?", I thought. They had to be using big data collection systems that have been collecting over the years to try and pick candidates that are more aligned to the target demographic they are trying to reach and manipulate. I'm actually a digital marketer, and the similarity between marketing and politics is disturbingly similar.
Either way, i voted. And I voted for State and local propositions for the first time too. I will NOT vote for president though.
@Vox3l-Gl1tch BTW you'd be surprised how many business owners actually agree with me. And if they don't, I know when to shut my mouth and just play the game. That's how I thrive as a professional without compromising my beliefs. I just slowly feel things out. One business owner thoroughly agreed with me and even showed me evidence that 9/11 was perpetrated by the US government.
@Vox3l-Gl1tch Isn't it obvious? For an excuse to go to war. The middle east is a pivotal location for modern resource extraction. It's becoming more of an international trade zone as China looks to build the silk road project. Saudi Arabia and Israel are also key partners that expect support from the United States, but the obstacle is the democratic system, which they manipulated.
@TFrills You're the one quoting things from people who don't know or care about you. Do you also like repeating common phrases to prove your points? come on. Have an original thought.
@C Only person who cares about me is my grandmother and she's close to death. I know no one cares. The trouble is, I care. I care about the whole planet. I care about future generations. I have love for humanity that humanity doesn't deserve or show me back. Sure, I'll curse at people and call them idiots, but I still have love for them in some form. There are very few people I actually hate.
By the way, every story has been told and there are no original thoughts. At least I don't blindly listen to the mass media. I come up with my own fucking ideas. There isn't a single person that I fully agree with or base my views off of.
The kobe bryant thing was a bit of a stretch and you know that. It's clear that something did go down in 2003 in that hotel room and that the media brushed it off. But kobe is the only person accused of rape to give out a formal public apology the way he did, and it's clear that his statements which are against what any lawyer or advisor would suggest are well intentioned and honest.Of course it all comes down to whether you personally take it as truth or not, but you can't just throw that in there as a point against Kimmel. I hate all late night television shows, and I like this video and most your vids but dont sneak kobe in there like that. RIP
You make some great points, but I just have two complaints. The first is that you don't have to be rich and powerful to get away with sexual assault, in fact I think most people do get away with it, depending on how mild. In addition, race relations aren't not a problem just because Obama was elected president. There are still a lot of issues as to how people judge others based on their race.
@Richard V. Lmao, I'm so emotional. That I'm here defending my idol to death because a stranger made fun of him on the internet.. LMAOOOOOOOO that's you btw.
@Richard V. Bragged? Rubbing it in your face and bragging are similar but they aren't the same thing lmao. Then again. You are a trump supporter. Things like this get passed you, Quite often too i'm sure. Lul
@puppy dog thats a bad thing when it comes to anti gunners, they'll just keep saying the exact same thing louder and louder until people start to agree. When you call them out on neglecting details or flat out lyingthey will just cite "them crazy hill billies think we're tryin to take their guns away" or "did you know there were 355 mass shootings in 2016" (which is based of a source from reddit that news outlets picked up for some reason and the parameters where 3 or more people being injured)
Guy with gun: hey guys, check this out >bang All three: ow, my ears hurt, that was really loud CNN: today there was YET ANOTHER mass shooting leaving three injured but in stable condition
legalizing drugs worked juusssssst fiiiiine in Canada and nobody is dying from opiods so guns will definitely not kill people either </sarcasm> honestly no wonder you're circling the drain if you think throwing fire at fire will work if your house is burning down...
@Noah Jacks yea you guys are totally alight arresting comedians and fining people for make jokes and banning a person from entering the country because it might upset some muslims yup you guys are totally fine
@Nicholas Heilig and kids can take their parent's car when they ain't looking. it is still illegal in both senses. do we take away what people can have or assume good parents are responsible enough to keep kids from doing this?
at some point, laws are ineffective. gun control is no different (unless you want this country to collapse quickly, like me, then please, go on). go be an authoritarian somewhere else
I don't understand why gun fetishists have this idea that unless a solution 100% abolishes all gun crime forever across the nation, it's not a worthwhile solution. As if such a solution could ever exist. Like, yes, obviously people would still find a way to get guns if guns were banned, but the vast majority of mass shootings are committed by legal gun owners, who did not go crazy and buy guns to kill people but rather decided to use them since they had immediate access. It's unlikely that they would be willing to risk buying guns off the black market if that immediate access did not exist.
To say that a banning of gun sales to ordinary civilians would not reduce the number of mass shootings per year in the country would be absurd and patently untrue. Factually, yes: there WOULD be a reduction. And that's all people are asking for. It's just not the solution that you want, because it takes away YOUR privilege. Ask yourself which is more important: helping to prevent the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of innocent people every year including children, or being able to own such a tool of destruction yourself, for the sake of "the safety of your family"? (Hint: You don't actually care about that. You just want a gun because you like guns, guns are cool, and you get off on the idea of being John McClaine.)
Don't get me wrong, gun violence IS a complex issue born out of all the things EmpLemon mentioned, but solving all of those things would take a complete societal restructure. It would take probably 50 years to solve things like gang violence and poverty, and that's being extremely generous. But banning guns and taking guns away from civilians who don't have a hunting license, and aren't/weren't military or law enforcement? We could do that overnight.
@Justyn HaLl I understand your frustration. You can cure it with a bucket of water; stick your head in it, and once the bubbles stop, you'll be relieved of your frustration, guaranteed <3
Definitive Dubs People have suggested banning any assault rifles. Many people
So I’m sure not many people are just going to give them up. That leaves felony contraband within the hands of millions of Americans... then people will start copping felonies for having illegal firearms. Prison ain’t cheap
Police would have to dedicate more resources to this errand. It could turn into another war on drugs scenario
@Definitive Dubs "But banning guns and taking guns away from civilians who don't have a hunting license, and aren't/weren't military or law enforcement? We could do that overnight."
Doing that in America would be a very, VERY bad idea. There are many thousands of Americans who expect, not fear, expect the government to turn tyrannical at any moment. How do you think they'll react when armed police turn up at their doors demanding they turn over their guns?
@Other Gopher You said "banning guns does nothing". Australia proves that wrong. Who the fuck cares if they're an island nation? The point is less people are dying. Their homicide rate has decreased tenfold since the ban. Don't sit there and pretend that gun crime would not go down with a gun ban, because it factually would.
@Other Gopher That would be because they border with states with very lax gun control laws and so we have gun trafficking across state lines. If you actually look at the data, 2/3rds of guns recovered from those states were actually acquired in other states. Maybe do a little research before you start throwing bullshit arguments into the open.
@[Elephant Ghost] there are more guns than people in the US. It wont turn into another war on drugs scenario. Who is going to confiscate them? The police? In the eyes of many the police wouldve just become enemy agents working against the bill of rights and the constitution. How do you think those people will react? 100 million gun owners in the US. If just 1% of them decide to fight back, well now they have an army equal to the 765k state and local and 115k federal police with arrest powers. Whose morale will break first in that situation? Cops arent robots, theyre living human beings with families who didnt sign up for that. Eventually theyll just quit or outright refuse to do it. Then what? Will anti gun supporters be the ones to force them to give them up? Like physically force them?
You use the military on US soil and then it becomes a civil war. Thats illegal and youre using the military against the american people en mass to violate the 2nd amendment, which was put in place to allow the people to fight back. The number of gun owners fighting back would be well over 1% at that point. Not to mention that most military would eventually betray the ones telling them to do that, since many of those who understand the importance of guns were in the military.
All that tech would be useless. You cant enforce a police state with drones or tanks, youd need soldiers on street corners to do it. We ran into this gigantic issue in Iraq and afganistan.
Lets not even get into the logistical and geographical nightmare that would be. The US is very big and very spread out.
A lot of gun grabbers fail to understand the absolute number of guns in the US and the mentality of many gun owners. They fail to understand that enforcement of those laws requires people and theres a limit to what those people will put up with. There is no more well armed group of people in the history of mankind than the US citizenry. It isnt even close. Even the most well armed military on earth, the US military with about 3 million guns is still outnumbered 100 to 1 in terms of total weapons. They might have better weapons but they have much fewer numbers and theyd be stuck in a situation where they dont know who is civilian and who isnt.
Molon labe "come and take them" is the mentality many hold
"You and what army" is the truth of the matter. Are YOU going to go up into the woods and root them out?
I dont want that to happen. Banning guns would kill way more people than it could ever save.
It's presented as an option when it never was an option to begin with.
Daniel von Strangle you americans are really funny. You really think either everyone is good or bad. Sometimes its just gray. Not every single imigrant is a terrorist. Some of them are and its concerning but you cant just label everyone as a terrorist. İts like saying every white person is racist.
They shouldn't be banned but it should be harder to get them. A 18 yr old who has autism can get a gun in less than 2 hours in America. If someone likes guns they should be able to get them but they should be harder to get.
@0g0mogos EPİK World we don't think everyone is a terrorist but it seems the rest of the world just sees us as bad people. He clearly said he doesn't want his tax money going to immigrants not deport all of them because they're all terrorist.
Can some americans tell me why do you think your country has so much gun violence and why do you like guns so much?, I've always been fascinated by how much you love your guns, never seen it anywhere else (in the developed countries at least).
@Matias Araya it's due to how our nation was founded. We had to rebel against Britain to gain independence because the british government was tyrannical. Americans feel that if we don't have weapons to defend ourselves with, we won't be able to fight back against our government in the event that it becomes corrupt and tyrannical.
@jsweeney7359 Damn man, wasn't your Independence on 1776?, I think it's time to get over it, I don't think you could fight your government unless you were able to buy a tank.
@Matias Araya we can't buy tanks to defend ourselves, that's why we desperately want our guns. It's really the only thing we have to defend ourselves with
@jsweeney7359 I feel like the gun problem in USA is a consequence of collective paranoia. You Americans are paranoid about too many things. It's not really the people's fault though, more like the media and your government, and religion a bit.
@Matias Araya the media is terrible here, the news is very political biased and they exploit mass tragedies to support their political agendas. Talk Shows also have the same problem. The problem in America is that the media is political biased, (both rep and dems) which leads to a them vs us mentality, which in turn leads to extremism. AKA, nobody compromises in this country and its hurting this country for the worst. This would normally not be a problem because the mainstream media is dying, but for some reason silicon valley companies like Facebook, Google, twitter, etc. bend the knee to the media.
Well I’ve hardly hear of mass shootings in Europe where guns are banned. There’s a difference between banning guns and banning alcohol and drugs- there is clear short term positives to using those substances! With banning guns it may relocate crime to another location eg knife crime, however this will be far less catastrophic than gun crime. Thanks for listening to my tedtalk X
@My Dog’s Name is Lucy Is it? Criminals will always get their hands on what is banned to the public: guns, drugs, alcohol, etc.
I don't know if you support banning guns, but lets say you do: that means you would try to disarm law abiding citizens, maybe you will get some criminals but the majority of the later will just slip through the cracks. So, you are just endangering the common public and cutting away their rights just to push your virtue signaling.
@Picture Of A Cat I don't support banning guns. The idea that making it harder for guns to get into a criminals hands won't don't anything just doesn't make sense.
@Picture Of A Cat Obviously gun violence will never fully stop but the scare tactics about gun laws doing more harm than good are delusional. Multiple countries can attest to this. We Americans just simply love our damn guns too much let's be real.
People who want to completely ban anything know the least about that thing. Period. They just sell themselves that it’s bad and they never bother to do research.
Ah yes, US citizens guns would surely work on military-grade equipment! Also, people act like the US Government going tyrannical would happen in a vacuum. They seem to completely ignore the fact that the UN exists.
@Definitive Dubs thats exactly what would happen no citizen or hell even police officers in some cases could do anything to stop gang lords from taking over if theyre the only ones to have guns
@Xera 51 thats rare most are commited with pistols you know like the ones some of you dont want to ban... now that i say this youre going to want to ban all guns if you didnt already
@Auramaster 206 What are you even responding to? I said that the general US population could not defend against their government, no matter what guns they had. However, if you could give me a source to what you just stated I would be delighted.
@Grugg Remember how the states surrounding Illinois have some of the most lax gun laws in the country, or the fact that with Illinois as the sole outlier the states with the highest gun violence rates all have less gun regulation?
Sofia Arango considering prohibition was mainly supported by women who were getting STDs/being beaten by their husbands coming back from brothels and bars, at least that ban helped some people.
The alternate universe already banned memes here in US, people completely went apeshit, 2nd civil war happened then it turned Mad Max then sooned it went so SO bad that THAT alternative universe ceased to exist. So that's why there's no such thing is alternate universe in real life.
Definitive Dubs Its not just a privilege, it’s a constitutional right. And yes, guns are bought to protect. I’ve had to use a gun to defend my girlfriend myself. It’s a Ruger GP100 .357 Magnum. And the question is not “ask yourself which is more important, people’s lives or your fetish”, it is more toward “do you want to defend your right to bear your arms or let the government who we just so graciously trust (sarcasm) overrun us.” We could just ban all people affiliated with Islam too. Offended? Well why would you be? It would save many lives at the expense of Muslims living here. I’m not saying we should, I’m making a valid point. And I would love to see whoever you refer to as “we” taking away others guns like it’s soo easy “overnight”. It would be the the biggest outbreak of civil war this country has ever seen. Why don’t we ban cars? Cars kill people more than anything ever right now. “Ohhh maybe we should make people get a license” yep, we have laws and regulations now and the fatality rate is still higher than guns. You think that if you do the same, it’s gonna help a lot? Again I don’t agree with banning cars either but it is a valid point. And why do you trust the government so much? Law enforcement? Seriously? And the whole purpose of the right is to defend ourselves from the tyranny of the military or law enforcement.
@Noah Jacks yeah theres been like 100 stabbings in england this year and in australia there are still mass shootings by fbi or cdc (i dont remember which one) definition and as a son of a not too law abiding citizen of australia i have seen him and his friends with illegal guns but this was a while ago.
It’s a bit different, people don’t need to use guns everyday. Many countries with strict gun laws have no issues from those laws, except less deaths and massacres. Or is that what you meant?
Here's the problem with the whole "We just restrict who can get guns" argument it's impossible to tell what someone's going to do with a gun or anything else for that matter, the whole thing with the current gun control laws in the US if I remember correctly, is preventing the mentally ill and those with criminal records to get weaponry as easily or in a lot of cases at all.
@Blackman JPEG You mean the police in Europe who won't investigate grooming gangs or punish violent crime perpetuated by a certain demographic because they're afraid of being called "racist".
@Grugg Remember how its super easy to get a gun in the states bordering Illinois? Yea its not that hard to get guns into Chicago because the of laws OUTSIDE of Chicago. And most people aren't making the argument to ban guns. IT SHOULD BE HARDER TO OBTAIN ONE. Theyre to readily available. Theres more guns than people in this country. You want a gun? Fine, it should be licensed just like an automobile. Theres many common sense gun laws that can be put into place.
Banning guns in the US isnt going to do jack-shit. It doesnt matter if it stops SOME shootings, the problem isnt the guns. The problem runs much deeper than the weapons.
@Declan Stoeckel 1. Maybe I'm crazy but I'd rather a shootout than an execution.
2. And I'm sure Phil would appreciate the same critters in a small town not killing his chickens/ducks/geese/calves/any other small animal susceptible to coyotes or the sort. Probably also be glad to not have their trash shredded and their feed wasted by raccoons, opossum, and other varmints.
3. I can also agree here, hunting isn't as much of a necessity these days but ruling it out as some ancient technique that's useless is just ignorant. There are so many more lessons that people can be taught by hunting. It's a timeless practice and one that shouldn't be discouraged, as long as it's legally performed. Definitely some middle ground to be reached here.
4. Guess you never heard of how the US started? British soldiers, British king overstretching his rule on British citizens, overly taxing British colonists, firing upon British civilians... yeah it's what sparked our country to be what it is so writing this off as well is just ignoring history.
5. I'd say the people with self esteem problems with guns aren't the ones to fear. It's the ones who do anything illegal with them, the ones who don't follow laws. And efficiency depends on the gun, I mean what's more deadly - a baseball bat or a .25ACP pistol? Shoot me with the .25 any day, I'd rather a wasp sting than a clobbering lol Okay, immature mode over, sorry :P
Yeah I completely missed that when I watched this two years ago. There's a couple other "haha Jewish people = bad = funny" jokes in here. imo puts him on the same level as Kimmel. At least Jimmy's shitty orange man bad stuff wasn't rooted in the attempted extermination of "inferior" people.
@Ollie Does Art yea think most of his audience was like on the “right-wing, liberal destroyed, Ben Shapiro wannabe” when this video was uploaded. It was 2017 after all and most of those edgy teenagers seem to ether have change or left after a lack of political videos
Regarding 30:18 , while I see where you're coming from in a lot of things, don't confuse the importance of how fiction can influence the real world. Writers and directors, animators and audio designers have to take into account culture of the times with their movies. While Jimmy Kimmel is basically Hollywood's biggest rectum of commentary, remember that that Hollywood often hires many more much more culturally tuned and SMART people to the stories that hit the big screen. Jimmy Kimmel is just one of many dickheads in the bunch, don't screw up his commentary with real commentary in fictional movies.
To me it makes sense to rip on the president for threatening nuclear war, but I agree that people should've come up with something better to do than constantly talk about Donald Trump. I think that he's an incompetent oaf when it comes to being a world leader, but like him or not, try to do something other than echo the words of people who agree with you back at them and be an arse to those who don't. This is a good video.
I just found this video, and wow, shit's changed. My dad actually works for JKL, and I've met the guy. He's like any Hollywood personality out there. Seems really detached and doesn't care when you talk to him. Never really bothered me, it's Hollywood. He wasn't funny, though. He just made some shitty joke about something I can't remember.
It's weird, because he and my dad both share this anti-Trump hatred. There's no real logic behind it, either. It feels like this sorta situation where it's just "trendy" to hate Trump. That's modern television. Colbert has ran into this same issue where his jokes are just based on Trump. What happened to comedy? Why is everything so goddamn political?
I've had this on my mind for a while and I felt like bringing it up here. Incidentally, my dad also wouldn't stop parroting everything Kimmel said. He'd record every episode on DVR and I guess he just listens to him (also to see his own work on it which I guess I can't blame him on).
I don't speak to my father for personal reasons, but if I ever do end up talking to him again, I'll probably show him this video, lol.
Because to people like Kimmel and Colbert, it's what the people want. It's the "in thing". You know how YouTubers kinda keep doing the same shit over and over and get loads of views because of that? That's the same effect we're seeing here. Trump gets made fun of because he's a brash President who isn't afraid to speak his mind.
I have to say, this entire video hits the nail on the head with everything here. I agree 100% with it. Like EmpLemon, I'm not even a fan of Trump, but people aren't willing to give the dude a chance when he actually does something within reason and logical. Because it's Trump, they wanna make fun of him because he seems to be some sort of poster boy for "hate speech", whatever the fuck that entails.
I've lived around shit like that for years, I know exactly where that was going with it. Like my dad and Kimmel, who would praise Obama and talk about how amazing of a president he was, wouldn't ever get as angry or as condescending about Obama, but for Trump, that's out the window. Why be tolerant if he's a bigot?
On that note, too, it's especially weird how Hollywood seems to chastise you if you have even a remotely conservative opinion/praise for someone like Trump.
It's an industry of flip-floppers who will do whatever they can to bring in financial restitution. Huh, sounds a little bit like current YouTube now that I think about it.
Spencer Whiteway I 100% agree with this. There actually are really funny jokes and shots to be made at during this current presidency but all anybody says is “Trump is an orange” or “Trump is stupid” when there is potential for SO much more than that.
Its only trendy to hate trump cause there are tons reasons to do so, new ones coming every day. Colbert also has consistently made fun of every president and his writting isnt as bad as Kimmel.
Jale The Village Troublemaker Nope. We ended up having an argument about Trump last time we did talk, though. I quoted this video a fair bit, just didn't really have time to show him it, lol.
I agree with the video so far, wish you’d mention that Kobe was found innocent of his trial though. Kinda seemed like you were implying that he was a rapist. I get your overall point tho
So who asked for your opinion might be an informative video but alas I am wrong again Well count yourself lucky I didn’t make it more than a minute into your video before I commented and turned it off good job
So the first minute was just Emp saying Jimmy Kimmel is terrible. Well unless you watched further, we found the world's only die hard Jimmy Kimmel fan.
Jimmy: By May? He's not still gonna be President by May!
Well it's May now Mr. Kimmel and guess what... Trump is still the commander in chief. So just keep complaining all you want in your attempts to change this country, because sadly it's not happening anytime soon.
I don't like Trump either but yeah Bender's right. All you and these other late night hosts ever do now is complain.
I think you would be surprised at the ammount of sexual assaults that go unpunished. I have heard from several female friends that it is almost a common occurrance. I happens on buses, malls, partys, bars, resturaunts etc. It doesn't have to be a rape or attempted rape to classify as a sexual assault. If a guy intentionally touches a woman in an innapropriate place without their consent then that is sexual assault and unfortunately it is very hard to identify the culprit on a crowded dancefloor for example.
I've been scrolling through the comments for a while because there were a few things that he brushed over that just didn't sit well with me, and I wanted to see if anyone else had picked up on them. I have absolutely read enough anecdotal accounts to have reason to believe that sexual assault is a bigger problem than just powerful men in entertainment and other fields.
His show is awful. He’s not funny. He has zero chemistry with his guests. He comes off totally fake. I feel this awkward cringe feeling watching him interact with guests. Conan, Fallon, Letterman, Colbert, Stewart, Maher, etc. all have real personalities, and interact with the guests in a way that feels like a genuine sit down over a beer or a glass of wine. Everything Kimmel does feels forced, and imitated, and it makes me feel uncomfortable. It’s like he’s only put there bc he’s the only guy willing to push whatever message or agenda they use him to push. He just comes off as this gutless robot with no mind of his own.

im not sure how if you say "orang man bad" you automatically have a phd in political science
@Stepladder yet they feel harmless, they don't actually do illegal things and spread misinformation, thier weirdness is detained only to themselves and people laugh at them yet, somehow, these people are very well be the safest and tame among others
I massively respect what Roseanne Barr said in the 26:00 clip. It’s so moderate and nice. Only ideological zealots would want anyone to fail the nation. I wish more liberals would come back to her level
I'm glad there's someone out there who sees through the B.S. Keep us fighting with each other so we're too distracted to point the finger where it belongs. There's a two party system for a reason, and it's merely a means to an end.

You know those kids from the Halloween Candy videos who say Jimmy Kimmel is dumb? Yeah, they’ve got a point
Over here in the UK, we are blessed we do not have the saturation of guns, and it is difficult to attain a gun, though criminals do succeed
One problem we do have in the UK, is a massive issue with knife crime.
If all the guns in the US were taken away, I am fairly confident what would happen is human aggression would shift from gun crime to melee weapons, knives, machetes, etc.
In a way, this video is just as bad as Jimmy is. We are being told or convinced to dislike this person... letting this 1 video decide your opinion of him makes us just as bad as the ppl watching him. I, for one, appreciate the info in the vid. And will keep it in mind in the future when I see the stand up bits from these TV entertainers
it is absolutely bonkers to think of all these americans going crazy over someone they have never met and no next to nothing about. it is a self centered attitude. me me me it is all about me me me . they just want to go tell all their friends that they were wityhin 80 feet of some famous person , as if that is something to be impressed about
I remember really loving Jimmy Kimmel growing up. But I think that was more because he was a better complimentary personality to others like Adam Carolla. Kimmel was great at being the sensible everyman in those bits, and seemed to be more along for the ride than commanding the show. But over the last two decades, he hasn't had anyone to play off of. As a solo act, Kimmel just isn't that funny. I figured his late night show would end just a couple years in, but, I'm about as surprised as everyone else who grew up watching him. It seemed pretty obvious just how much of a downturn Jimmy's quality took when he made the show mostly about himself, those of us already familiar with his potential and brand of comedy were eagerly awaiting his inevitable boot from a format that didn't fit him at all.
But it never happened.
So now in his effort to clamor for credibility among a new demographic of people, he's taken to grasping for sanctimoniously condescending bleeding-heart pandering. The very uncouth humor that made him a household name was now easy fodder to paint Jimmy a smarmy hypocrite, effectively killing his standing among those who created his television legacy. By refusing to die a hero, he became an embarrassment.
Rosanne was, is, and will always be boss af. Nobodies perfect and everybody makes mistakes, but she's a fucking bad ass and she's been spittin truth for decades.
This guy watched 15 minutes of Jimmy Kimmel and makes a 30 min vid on how he represents whats wrong with America lol...for real though Jimmy is unfunny as it gets
You can tell at 27:15 that the liberal audience was either not listening or they were sleeping because there wasn't any standing ovation like when they give it to Kimmel when he released carbon dioxide
I feel like this separation of "liberal" issues vs "real" issues, as you put it, is kind of a false dichotomy and is a bit class reductionist. No, more diverse representation in movies won't lower the sea levels, but nobody is saying it will. It's more of a "why not?" issue, since it doesn't cost too much, and at least IMO, racism even at the most subconscious level is directly tied to the class division issues. Corporations love using racism to keep the masses divided and to give them a "slave" population they can exploit in the prison industrial complex. While stopping microaggressions won't stop this from happening, it's just one more cultural shift that we all conscientiously take part in with little cost to our lives.
@The Frubblewarrior I'm saying that it's one mean the elite uses to keep us divided instead of uniting against our common enemy which should be one of our primary objectives.
“Corporations love using racism to keep the masses divided.” I think you answered your own question to “why not?” When you make it a selling point, you’re creating more division. Support good movies, not pandering.
So but this is conservatism, if I slightly disagree with something I must go to the complete other side and defend them to death just to not say that I was wrong
ik this video is old, and I do agree w a lotta points u make. I just gotta point out the hypocrisy of saying "trump bashing bad" bc it's lazy and not funny and then go "hahah liberals bad" treating that like solid comedy. I don't fuck w either party, and as a leftist I, too, love licking on liberals, but don't feel like u have to appeal to people by shitting on others, especially in a mostly logical video.
You're probably too young to remember his Man Show days or Win Ben Stein's Money. He was funny then. Once 2012 hit the SJW's started gradually holding comedy hostage. Now comedy's dead including Jimmy Kimmel.
Jimmy is so anti problematic that his personality is dull and fake, it's like he's a talking robot who's programmed to be basic. This statement applies to both T.V. Jimmy's
Anti racism / transphobia / whatever is achieved through hard work and vigilance, not by painfully unfunny privileged talking cable TV heads. Well, at least John Oliver remembers to be funny.
I was thinking more about how while both sides of the political aisle still suck and have definitely gotten worse in regards to corruption and partisanship, it's the Trump stuff that hasn't aged quite well in my eyes. Sure, I agree with the sentiment that one should support their president no matter what party they belong to, but when said president has done so much to erode my trust in him, I think it's reasonable to speak out against him.
As an example, there's the January 6th riot. Now, while I don't think Trump's main goal was to incite it, he was definitely neglectful in the sense that he knew he had a rabid fan base and should have worded his speech more carefully to prevent it from happening. And the fact that he didn't say what they did was wrong showed me he was either happy or apathetic that his followers attempted to prevent a basic democratic process from happening.
It should be said though that I fucking despise Jimmy Kimmel and his Trump-bashing is annoying as hell. Plus, I agree with the fact that late night hosts were very leech-like with how they jumped on the hate Trump bandwagon. But the message I got from this video was that any criticism levied at Trump is bad, which I don't agree with.
I agree. I think race relations are still quite an issue and, while I think some examples are still preachy, virtue-signally drek, my opinion on representation in media has softened a little bit, so I disagree with this video in some areas NOW. Back when it was made, however, I think it was completely relevant. Also, all the “real” issues Emp mentioned are totally still problems and he’s right on the money about how labels are worsening the problem.
Also, congrats on having a civil comment chain. This is what it should look like.
You sound like a young dude I don’t know if you would remember Howard stern but Howard stern holds a ton of weight in Hollywood and beyond him and a few others endorsements over the years drove jimmy Kimmel to the top where he turned on his entire audience and now he does what you say horrible propaganda bullshit artistry
“Those who ignore history are damned to repeat it”. Prohibition made so many more people drink. If you ban guns, it’ll do the same. It’s easier to get stuff when it’s not tracked
lol I dont like the guy either, but boy practically every woman I know has been abused and harassed (yep also my mother and sisters)...but none of the guys I know is an abuser (?) mmm...fear exist you know.
Definitely interesting. I think declaring that race is no longer an issue in America is, um...bold. I think you're headed in a good direction trying to focus on meaningful policy rather than the most surface-level social justice. However, I think you're a bit too intent on the internet's liberals than how left leaning people actually are.
It's also a bit upsetting that you downplayed the amount of racists in our nation while hyping up what appeared to be aNtIfA and saying that there's FAR TOO MANY of them.
Again, I see what you're getting at, but there are some less than ideal conflations going on in the fine print of the video.
And one more thing, claiming that you aren't promoting an ideology does not exclude you from politically-based criticism. The majority of the content of the video is political and potentially incendiary in nature, so it's not fair to just say, "But don't @ me," and expect that to invalidate any oncoming critique.
Just a few thoughts to consider, and I do wonder what your thoughts are on the video now two years later. All the best.
Remember when in CHAZ antifa shot a guys car for trying to leave, which was forbidden, then they called him a fascist, then they rolled down the window and saw a black teen with 2 holes in his head. The father had to go to FOX news of all places, because the other news stations wouldn't accept him because it dosen't roll with the narrative.
I don’t fully know your political opinion but I would say only liberals that are 30+ actually started watching late night shows because of politics. I get that these people are what you probably think of as all liberals they really arent
even tho im a "liberal" and i don't believe in cancel culture
but we gotta cancle the fuck outa jimmy kimmel and the people in his audience that guy would admit to shittin in the shower (nothing wrong with that just an example) and the audience would laugh like it some good knock knock joke from the 4th grade
That'd be due to the coaxial cable acting as an "Over the Air" antenna of sorts, you could unironically use a length of metal wiring or coat hanger and receive some form of signal reception if it's in the right sweet spot areas for local TV stations.
Effectively the more favorable thing is that you happen to be within one of these "goldilocks" zones that still exist in 2021, as many over the air signals now require at least a preamplifier to continue to receive a signal that just ten years ago they would have but no longer can due to the broadcasting and rebroadcasting services/stations slowly going away year by year.
Over the Air still has a good number of unique broadcasts that won't ever really see the light of day on the internet even in this day and age which is crazy to think about.
I see your point when you talk about liberals swarming to channels bashing Trump because I was one of those types of viewers. I realized that just taking in negative information or getting stimulation from people who bash Trump is not healthy viewing. I personally don't like Trump but I'm not going push that personal belief onto others because it won't change anything. I see people supporting Trump but I'm not gonna bash anyone for supporting him because it's not my business to do so.
They also apprently forrgot that anyone can assault so when it gets brought up they point at men and say you have to stop because your the problem even tho anyone can assault someone
I'm going to be honest, I fully agree with the majority of this video except the bit on sexual assault. As a women I can say that women do get sexually assaulted in society quite regularly and often the individuals who commit the sexual assault go unpunished. You need to talk to your female friends and ask how many have been groped on nights out, every women I know has been at some point. Its not just rape that is considered sexual assault.
While I agree with much of this video, especially in describing Jimmy Kimmel's lack of originality and humor, there is also plenty about it that doesn't sit well with me.
It's just my opinion, and I don't expect many to agree with me, but what this video feels like is a way to use Jimmy's shortcomings to poke and prod at a political philosophy that you don't agree with. This just about stopped being about Kimmel mid-way through the video.
Political agenda is the ugliest, most cringeworthy topic to discuss anywhere. Because for those of us who just want to see this country prosper, it's impossible to align fully with one side or another. It's more "pick the lesser of the evils" than "this person wants to help us become better".
That said, political discussion is something American citizens won't ever be able to shake, that will continue to be divisive among the citizens, and that will never be met in the middle.
The fact that Kimmel harps on politics so much is cringy, but so was hearing a rant about our country's increasingly divisive viewpoints and the finger pointing at one side or the other being the problem, in a video meant to point out one man's flaws.
Not one of my favorite videos from you, respectfully. But again, this is just my opinion.
You make a good point. I am not American myself, but I would think that Jimmy Kimmel and other late night show hosts have a bit more impact on politics than the average individual does. To me it felt like Emp was describing much of Hollywood's liberal elites rather than just Kimmel himself.
Again, I am not American, so I might have less of an authority on this than you or Emp. I am just explaining what it felt like to me when I first watched this.
He's not even memable at all. At least other idiots on TV make for good meme culture but honestly this guy is too cookie-cutter to make a good meme out of.
@HenryBoi Animations well duh but looking at the democratic side its alot worse plus im supporting white supremacists high taxes athiesm and im not like that
I think the most respectable is what I call "public centrism". It's basically: don't provoke political discussion and be as objective as you can, but if there is a political discussion, go all out with your beliefs. It makes you practically resistant to any pigeonholing.
Emp ends the video asking, "Do you wanna know why liberals keep losing in America?" Liberals lost one election because of the outdated Electoral College. Why does Emp continue to say liberals keep losing?!? Liberals lost the popular vote only once in the last 32 years, so I don't think they need lectures from Emp on how to stop losing!
"Let them be racist, it's just an opinion" is probably the most white privilege thing I have ever heard. Yes you bring up good points of other major issues affecting society but racial inequality still massively affects society, especially in america. Go watch the latest Vox "Glad you asked" series if you disagree. You just play down so many major issues just because large progress has already been made in them. Guess what there's still so much more to do with equality.
And you don't wish to group all conservatives as racist ignorant etc, which I agree with you, but then just groups liberals as all being ignorant. There is a lot of good from this video but with some extreme lack of knowledge in some key areas that makes you lose credibility with your arguments
Im sure you think it’s nice attacking an ethic group. Just replace white with jewish.
And I like how to don’t elaborate on this “racial inequality” you just say it and hope it’s true. By the way, the Alt - Right loves you saying white privilege because to them being white is a privilege.
@GreenMarine yeah. And those alt right people literally built the systems we live under currently. For example, did you know the likelihood of getting a loan from the bank is based mostly on your zip code? White nationalists built a system called red lining that keeps many poor/ethnic people poor (look it up; it's hard to summarize accurately). Did you know that police are more likely to shoot black people than white? Did you know a majority of poor people in America are people of color? Did you know the likelihood of being highered drops ~20% if you have a stereotypically black name? Are you really, seriously, trying to claim that someone point out that white people don't face these issues/face them less is the same as persecuting a religious minority who were fucking genocided?
I love your arguments and I think they're very well laid out, well until you said that racial tension is a non-issue because Obama was black LMAO. I mean you bring together so many ideas about the problems facing Americans and how it could better be addressed. It's just so ironic that you would expand on this so greatly right after pulling the "uh we shouldn't talk about race because we had a black president duh." is so reductive and, well, sad.
Why does politics have to be divided with red and blue? Why can't republicans and democrats get along and work together? Does this division come from one of the sides or from both? I believe all these questions should be answered before this country can truly be whole.
@E This is why the USA needs an electoral system which would allow more parties to get in: No single party would get the majority, and some compromises and agreements would have to be made.
I'm extremely bothered that there aren't any popular celebrities who share your ideas and values. If there was just ONE person in power who shared your values, and who didn't get pushed down by others in the process, it could potentially reverse all the craziness that is going on right now. The only thing I could see going wrong is that someone like you lets all these issues frustrate you to such an extent that you don't seem like a reliable source, but you really are more than reliable. Might as well sub to ya :3
shesmine19 Well, I really meant they should share all his values, not just the "not hating Trump" one. But yeah, I guess not hating the president is a start xD
What I mainly meant though was that celebrities shouldn't be people who only appear to be good. They should all be genuinely good people, and all they should focus on is improving themselves and consequently their image, not the other way around. Of course, with that ideology, the chances of getting famous to begin with is pretty slim, which is why I commented what I did.
EmpLemon was mainly showing the huge contradictory and hypocritical aspects of Jimmy Kimmel and other celebrities, and how much he believed it all to be wrong and shameful. That's the main thing I'd like other celebrites to know. If just one influential person could realize this and not act with hypocrisy and trend-joining, maybe people would be more inspired to treat each other better :D
Unfortunately if there are (I have to believe someone is smart enough to see through the facade), they are afraid to come out and say it. They'll be ostracized and cannibalized (not literally) by their peers. The industry they are in is one of the ugliest and most disgusting industries in America while also being self-serving and self-fellating. Look how long they kept rape and abuse victims from coming out. Anything that would shake the system is seemingly beaten back as much as possible, unless they can spin it into something that benefits them (to be fair most Corporations do that). I am sure there are people who really did care about the abuse victims, and credit to them for standing up for the victims, but when I see a movie coming about Weinstein just a few months after the revelations I stop and question what are the motives. Unfortunately it feels like its another pat on the back, look how progressive movie we are (same with The Post). Blah.
TrueLegendaryStatus Well, I guess it's even more terrifying then, if there are other celebrities who are aware of the severe problems with Hollywood, and that they can't do anything about it...
I hope one day people start to realize how absolutely shallow it is of them to idolize people who are more popular than them. Then again, I'm still in high school, so there's a huge chance that people have realized that already as adults lol But anyway, yeah, Hollywood is seriously too screwed up and gossipy to leave as is. But anyone who knows and cares about these problems are just completely ignored unless it's someone from within the industry, and even then there's still an extremely low chance of being heard. I don't know, this seems like quite the impossible problem to solve :/ I actually don't even know that many celebrities, though, since I mainly steer clear of movies and TV because it never really appealed to me, so I'm mainly just going off of this video to base my opinions on xD
Okay, I thought of a solution. The very idea of celebrities should be a meme, and any effort at making certain people look better than everyone else should be turned into an absolute joke by the masses. That should totally work xD
ChordsBoy I guarantee you there are an enormous number of people who think like this man. Problem is, you can't actually say what you think in this society, otherwise you'll lose everything. Especially if you're in Hollywood.
ChordsBoy It's going to take the younger generation coming together in spite of their disagreements to get through this and make change. People thing other people are the enemy, but in reality this country was fought for and formed by the people, for the people. All we really have is each other when our politicians, who we are deciding to elect, fail. Of course, the corporations are a big problem, too, and that requires people to support locally rather than buying what's cheapest. All of it is such a massive issue, and it gives me anxiety nearly every day, but, again, if we can stop pretending there are barriers between people and just work every day, together, have meaningful discussions and reasonable debates, it is possible. A lot of people just aren't even trying to thing for themselves unfortunately, and that is another contributing factor to the situation. But hey, at least you and I could talk openly and transparently despite being so detached from one another on the internet. And that has to count for something.
JNK117 Well said, man. Us reasonable people gotta stick together to hopefully enlighten others on the dangers of hate and detachment. I hope we can all do that, as a community :D
But those are some serious problems you mentioned. Big corporations have a sort of semi-monopoly that only happened because of brilliant ideas that eventually devolved into money making machines. YouTube is such an example, and it's pretty unfortunate that they decided to mainly appeal to advertisers, and not the content creators. But that's besides the point.
This is just my opinion, but I really don't think that you should feel anxiety over the state of the world. All the chaos and societal issues should inspire you to change what's wrong! I try to do so online by attempting to be super positive about things that people talk about, and encouraging peace in those interactions. Don't get me wrong though. There are certainly times where I'm completely unable to do anything about an issue that frustrates me, but just getting the message across to try to make people more aware certainly makes at least someone think.
Also, just a side note, but your description of people's perceptions of each other definitely apply so much for me in high school. It seems to be an especially big problem with teenagers, but I still try my best to make friends xD
EmpLemon, i love you. I am European, and bashing americans is like the most common thing around here. It is said that people have voted for a racist, narcisistic and stupid president, because they are all racist, narcissistic and stupid themselves. It's such an arrogant mindset to have, i now realize that much more.
We all can see a clear trend in the whole world: The separation of society. In a good discussion, it should not make a difference who brings the argument, instead all the points should be brought on the table and out of those points, a conclusion should be made. But in the world we live in right now, it doesn't matter which point is brought to the table, just WHO the person is that said it. This totally paralyzes any kind of healthy discussion, because the other side can always say "oh thats obvious that YOU would say that, since you are *insert political position here*. Guys like you also want *insert most horrific political statement you can think of someone of your political side has said before here*. The result is that you are standing still. Nobody is talking about the real issues anymore, so the problems keep beng unsolved. And as the problems keep being unsolved, the dissatisfaction of the people increases, and opens the way for radicalization.
I want to encourage everyone who is reading this to have more political discussions again. And with that, i dont mean spouting strawman arguments in each other's faces. Please sit together with your family and friends, and ask them how they view the world, and let them speak to the end, even though you might not be their opinion. I have the strong belief that communication prevents separation. Also ask yourself if you have blocked people out of your life because they have certian opinions about certain topics you don't agree with.
What i wanna say is that it is so easy to lose yourself in the bubble of agreement that you completely lose the understanding for everyone who does not share your thoughts. Try to keep that in mind.
they just say that to right wingers until the conservatives actually listen and give way to whatever demands they have - it's so shallow and spineless of a tactic of the left to do this, but the problem is that unfortunately it actually works sometimes, and when it works enough, our current state of blindingly left-biased u.s.a. media and this 2020 election is what happens as a result.
@clerp Lets be honest here, they all do that to some degree. Donald Trump and the conservatives have not done their best to solve that separation problem either and i have the feeling like it got much worse in the last 4 years. Come to think of it... many politicians seem to have unlearned the skill to discuss and make compromises in general, and just switched to blaming the other side and call it a day. It is not only an american problem either, i can observe this in austria as well, and it annoys the hell out of me.
@Jack Farns I think it boils down to some core points most of us just do not get (please correct me if im wrong with anything, im not american obviously): - Public Health Care: Not even the rightest of our right winged parties argue that it is a bad idea to have a public health care system, and it has proven as a good concept to battle inequality in many countries. Americans seem to have a strong dislike of this kind of system. - Guns: All kinds of guns are banned here. If you want to legally have one, you have to go through a long and expensive licensing process. Getting one illegally is possible but pretty hard. I am sure this gun problem is complex, but by looking at gun violence statistics i can see that countries with less public gun possession have less gun violence, surprise. - Two Party System: To have only two major parties sure leads to some problems, in my mind. Society is much more complex than just "left" and "right" and if you only have the choice between two sides, they can basically do whatever the want to, just because they are NOT the other side, and there will be a bunch of people sticking with them for only that reason.
@Derpeon ok, imma respond to this with my more right leaning American perspective.
Public health care: I think we will eventually have a system for this, but right now, I am concerned with how we would pay for it. In addition to payment, wait times in a lot of countries result in some deaths because of a lack of treatment. Also we are concerned that our standard of healthcare will go down, as I believe if you have the money, you should be able to pay for better healthcare and quicker times. That being said, a baseline free healthcare for everyone would be fine with me as long as it was done smartly, which I don’t trust our government to do. It also could deincentivize people to remain healthy. In addition, healthy people would pay more to get healthcare for unhealthy people, like if someone is super fat and cannot move or work, healthy people would be paying for that persons healthcare, costing them more than it would otherwise. I don’t really have a problem with it if it’s done in a smart manner, but I have little trust in our government.
Guns: I see absolutely no reason not to have guns. Violent crime actually increases when you take out an armed populace, as they cannot protect themselves. Also some of the areas in the US with the strictest gun regulations also have the most gun related deaths. I don’t even own a gun; but I’d rather have an armed populace than an unarmed one. If you remove guns totally, gun violence goes down, but knife violence and other stuff would increase to fill it or even have more.
Two party system: if we didn’t have a two party system, the multi parties would likely still split among the same lines (conservative and liberal), although a more specialized group would have more control. However, the two party system I agree is bad. I don’t know what to do to change it though as they have a stranglehold on politics.
I’d also like to point out many of our politicians are corrupt and they don’t care about us, like McConnell, Pelosi, and Kamala Harris.
What are your thoughts on Universal Basic Income and the lack of free speech in many European countries?
This is just my opinion, but to me it seems like Europeans bash us while not understanding the full complexities of our situation while having many of their own problems in their respective countries. We are looked at as ignorant racists, but not all of us are. We are probably no more ignorant than any European populace and maybe more racist in terms of laws and systematic oppression, but I do not believe the people themselves are more racist.
I would love to hear your responses to this and offer insight about how your public health system works, as I think it could work.
Before Trump became President, Oliver did a segment on how Trump marketed/branded his name. He goes on about how the name "Trump" sounds strong, stern, etc. He then explains that the ancestral name of "Trump" was "Drumpf". Drumpf means dim-witted or some shit like that. Oliver ended his segment, urging his viewer to refer to Trump as Drumpf and to _"Make Donald Drumpf, Again". Oliver then provided a link to a google extension that changed any word of "Trump" on the browser to "Drumpf" You can say what you want about Oliver, but it was the ultimate troll.
@khyron2010 I'm sorry, you sure that is what's happening? Because I see the left wing complaining they feel used, and the right wing yelling "WE TOLD YOU SO!" while also still trying to defend our way of life.
@ryguy That’s not all BLM, that’s Antifa and general anarchists. BLM demonstrations are mostly peaceful until one of these two show up, or the police can’t control a situation and resort to anti-riot tactics, and because the police can’t tell the difference between peaceful protesters and anarchists...
...because sometimes, it’s genuinely tough to tell the differences.
“90% of the BLM protests were peaceful, quit generalizing them.” 👇 “The capitol storm was an insurrection attempt by only Trump supporters, and Conservatives were raging about Trump losing.”
@Weeb Generator Trump supporters were at the capitol doing that. I didn't say all conservatives supported that are defended it. but there were notable people who did
May Kobe Bryant rest in peace, but remember that this is a video that proves a point about Jimmy Kimmel's hypocrisy (as mentioned by @SpriteLite). Although I'll admit, the segment here that Kobe is mentioned in (13:03) feels quite a bit ironic now...
I still stand by my words. Pardon me for not clarifying: I used "irony" to refer to how peculiarly odd (and somewhat hilarious) it is that Kobe's past trial conflicts with his globally renowned status. They're not supposed to go together. It's like a "paradox" to me, in a way
Still gotta say that Conan is probably the best late night show... but that’s like comparing the experience of eating Taco Bell to the diarrhea you get 3 hours later.
this vids pretty good but if you arent seeing the clear conservative bias i dont know what to tell you. hes right about hollywood shills but he then goes and conflates a bunch of shit about progressives and liberals and leftists into a sargon strawman you would see in 2016
Antiform true but at least he is high quality shit :v ... but I'm a fan of Stephen and I like how he made fun of the president but so far from my perspective, he knew where to draw the line and like I said he praise the president if he did something good. But sometimes I also don't agree with his opinion like Star Wars case.
I've got to admit, I was a little hesitant to believe your points about Jimmy's Soapboxing until that moment at 27:19. Holy shit. He's not even discussing the points she brings up. He calls her crazy even though she was saying reasonable things, and doesn't give a reason as to why. He uses is as an offhand comment, as the butt of a joke. Because he doesn't WANT to have a conversation. Because that's not what these shows are about. If you have a conversation like that, you're not playing to what your audience wants out of their entertainment. What they want out of their entertainment (in this case) is to sit down after a hard day and just have a good time, which I think is reasonably. The problem is that now people have started to find so much enjoyment and pride in what they believe politically that now all you need to keep someone entertained is stroke that ego. And it's just a vicious cycle, because people want that ego to be stroked so they watch those shows again, and get even more entrenched. You see this with both sides of politics, people are just getting so entrenched into what they believe politically that they aren't willing to have an actual conversation or even come up with their opinions themselves.

The first time I watched or even really heard of Jimmy Kimmel was when he bashed YouTube Gaming without really understanding it (probably 2-3 years ago now).
I don't watch others play video games often (usually only do it if I want to see if a game is worth a purchase), but holy crap... Kimmel has such a skewed view of the millennial generation it sickens me.
He's not the only one either. I can remember a bunch of other people like Rachael Maddow bashing on things like Pepe the Frog as a white supremacist symbol when they really did not understand what the hell they were talking about.
Also on a side note, does anyone miss the Colbert Report? Stephen was usually decently or pretty funny despite shoving liberal viewpoints into everything and this was all before the days of Trump politics. Same with Jon Stewart.
By your own admission, this vid is twice as long as the amount of time you watched the show before declaring it the "worst you've ever seen" and the host a "cultural tumor"....doing so with complete 100% self-assured rightousness that, since you didn't enjoy the 2 segments you watched, you can't possibly imagine that anyone anywhere could find it entertaining ever.
Way to hold back and not jump top any bold conclusions, bro.
It’s his opinion he never said that no one likes jimmy Kimmel it was only a theory and it’s quite ironic that you bash him because he only watch two segments yet you are here leaving a hate comment clearly not watch the full video
@Jasiah Please punctuate, that was barely legible. I watched his entire video, and none of Kimmel. I don't like him based on what I've seen here, but I'm not gonna go around calling him a "cultural tumor" and assuming all of his intent is bad. By that same measure I should assume Emp is a nazi for using imagery of anti-jewish propaganda
@Obama_ Yo_Mama Calm down, three is not excessive lol
An opinion piece yet with the tone of objective analysis, that's what I'm saying. And yeah I expected his opinion... about Kimmel. Not half the video devolving into irrelevant political grandstanding lmao.
@rejvaik he “hates” trump but doesn’t seem to show any liking to the other side. Just cause he’s not a fascist doesn’t mean he can be very ignorant at times regarding politics
As a "liberal" myself, I agree with this video in every part, although I believe most liberals aren't as extreme as you make them seem. The extreme ones are the outspoken ones, which makes the rest of the more moderate liberals (the ones that don't talk about politics as much) seem toxic to the right. This is also true of the right: KKK members vote for Donald Trump and the left absolutely loses its collective mind; it's not all or even most Republicans but the left still sees the most outspoken ones as representing the whole party. I strongly oppose the riots that are happening at colleges and such and I really wish people would talk more about the real issues like the ones you brought up in the video. Also I've never watched Jimmy Kimmel but I'm pretty sure he doesn't care what he has to say as long as he gets what he wants... Just like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton imo.
McBandit Hope And the right has control of all three branches of the government. You've got people like Arthur Jones, a literal Nazi, winning a Republican primary. You've got politicians, including the president, endorsing Roy Moore, an accused sex offender of several minors. You've got Mike Pence as the Vice President, who pushes for homosexual conversion therapy. Don't even get me started on abuse of power.
There's problems on both sides, don't pick and choose where it suits your sensibilities.
Royal Potato did what is it like 250 actual KKK members in America they were started by democrats anyway liberal citizens I just bamboozled lemmings by the racist Elite who own both parties Trump is anti New World Order and he is trying to put this country back in action for its people
The issue is that the US society is way to polarized. There is no middle ground anymore. There is only left or right. The conservatives act like fucking six year olds and the liberals like 14 year old brats. There needs to be a big, stable political party that covers the middle ground and it needs to be agreeable for most people, but that also means that everyone needs to be able to make a compromise, but it seems like thats impossible nowadays.
Youtube User There is a political ideology whose members still believe in the values that made this country great. The problem is you call them Nazis and claim they want to murder children. And then you pretend like you're willing to talk.
ExecratedPlays what values are those that make this community great? Casual racism/sexism, no welfare so poor/sick/injured people are fucked, giving corporations way too many rights, so they can exploit people? Do you want me to continiue?
Youtube User That's exactly my point. You hurl insults like a six year old, all while claiming you just want to talk about how to improve things and attempting to blame everyone else for being unwilling to compromise when you're not even willing to consider dissenting opinions. You screech about Nazis, and then you march in the street in support of Nazi ideals such as the suppression of free speech and the banning of firearms.
ExecratedPlays Hey, hey, hey, now, let's not call each other Nazis like six-year-olds, claim to want to talk about how to improve things, and attempt to blame everyone else for being unwilling to compromise when you're not even willing to consider dissenting opinions. You'd also better not screech about Nazis and march in the street in support of Nazi ideals such as institutional discrimination and warlike tendencies.
ExecratedPlays I did read your comment(s), as a matter of fact, most of what I said is taken directly from it. The problem isn't that people are unwilling to argue, it's that no one actually knows anything. The truth is so bogged down by skepticism that no one has any idea whether they are right or not. Donald Trump may not have started this debate but he definitely brought it to the forefront of politics. Now anyone can say anything they want and get away with it under the phrase "biased media."
Royal Potato Is it? You didn't seem to think so when someone who agreed with you called all conservatives "fucking six year olds," but suddenly it's unacceptable when it's repeated back to you? Thank you, by the way, for proving my point about the Left being unwilling to even consider dissenting opinions with your claim that conservatives are marching in the street in support of "institutional discrimination."
ExecratedPlays The comment you are quoting chastises both sides, whereas you're just cherry-picking the conservative half to try and play the victim. You haven't "proven" anything because to say that I alone represent ALL liberals in the ENTIRE COUNTRY is, guess what??? Discrimination.
Royal Potato I didn't chastise any side in my reply to your friend. Rather, I pointed out his hypocrisy. Due to the tribal nature of the Left, you rushed to his defense while ignoring his having attacked first. And I never said you represented all Liberals, but your actions, in conjunction with the actions of your friend, are proof of the hypocrisy of the Left.
I expected nothing less, or more, from you and other liberals in the comments.
ExecratedPlays Oh, but wait... You rushed to the defense of conservatives when someone said something bad about them.... hmmmmm it's almost like you're a hypocrite hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Royal Potato I didn't rush to the defense of anybody, I simply pointed out the hypocrisy of you and your friend. And just because you're a hypocrite doesn't mean everybody else is a hypocrite.
Royal Potato I'm defending myself against you, yes, but that isn't what you said. Again, my pointing out your hypocrisy doesn't make me a hypocrite.
Liberals do support Nazi ideals, and do march in the streets to promote. You oppose Freedom of Speech, Freedom of Assembly and the right of the people to defend themselves against tyranny.
The left's unwillingness to discuss important issues, such as those I just mentioned, and their screaming of NAZI at anybody that disagrees with them is not a superficial problem.
My Let's Play channel? I don't have a Let's Play channel. I think you're becoming unhinged.
Royal Potato I can #NotAll it if you want, but it's not going to change the fact that huge swaths of the Left, likely constituting a majority, support politicians and activists when they talk about confiscating guns and silencing dissenting opinions. The Left wants speech codes, hate speech laws and a disarmed populace. If you oppose those things, why do you support them?
ExecratedPlays >I don't like Donald Trump >I'm gay and at least half of all conservatives discriminate against LGBT people (yeah remember how marriage equality is less than ten yesrs old? Conservatives were the main pushback to the whole thing). >I don't want to ban all guns, just make it more difficult for people (especially mentally unstable ones) to get an unnecessary amount of them >Furthermore, more than 25% of ALL Americans suffer from one or several mental illness(es) and there is a huge population of those who remain undiagnosed because mental health (awareness, treatment, etc.) in this country is trash. >Therefore, I believe this country is extremely far behind in important things like universal healthcare, and that Obamacare/ACA needed to happen (source: my mother is a nurse) >I believe conservatives are being tricked about global climate change; it is a serious threat that should not be ignored. Debates should be about whether we should spend more money on research and alternative fuel rather than its sheer existence. >for hate speech: calling a black person the "n" word may or may not be offensive, it depends on who says it and in what context; I don't believe the word should be banned, but it should be met with more scrutiny when conservative politicians call black people "negroes" or the other "n" word. And yes, I know it is only a slim minority of people that say that in public but that doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye to it. We also shouldn't go overboard, obviously. >Children that are born in the US to undocumented immigrants and grow up wanting to be American citizens should have the right to be (some people feel very negatively towards illegal immigrants even if the children had nothing to do with it). >Women have the right to abortion. >I support the separation of church and state. >Tax cuts for the rich is fucking stupid >Conservatives don't support paying more taxes on things... and although a lot of their voters come from the deep south, a highly impoverished region, most of them don't benefit from state-run organizations that are designed to help them like food stamps and whatnot. >No one is even discussing infrastructure issues; this is an issue on both sides but conservatives tend to dislike spending tax dollars, which means it would take even longer to finish any infrastructure work. >Russia hasn't been playing very nicely with anyone recently. >Marijuana should be legal for medicinal and other practical applications (I think I even saw where it can be turned into paper with like one tenth the cost of paper made from trees). Recreational use can be based on state, that's a whatever kind of thing. Oh yeah, MJ is also less addictive than nicotine so there's that. >I think it would be cool to see what would happen if handguns were completely illegal in one state (a pilot study, if you will) just to see if it is as successful as it was for the UK and Denmark, which have less than 10% as many murders than the US combined If not, they should definitely be illegal in most parts of cities if they aren't already because they are a major problem in those places. The idea that all liberals want to ban all guns is ridiculously misconstrued. >One more thing about guns: they're fast. If someone pulled a gun on you, you would have no time to react to it and pull out your own gun before you would get shot, especially close-range like in most cases with robberies and murders, so having one is completely ineffectual. >We need to better the education system in a way that doesn't involve puking money at it because that's not working. Now consider Denmark, in which teachers are on the same tier as doctors as far as public respect and education go. >Speaking of education, the idea that we can somehow miraculously bring back coal and other factory and industry jobs is ridiculous and we need to focus more time on individualizing education. >The thing that gets me the most is that a lot of the things I mentioned earlier have already been implemented in Europe and are doing really well. The standard of living in the US is leagues behind the rest of the civilized world and we're all scratching our heads as to why. >Bernie Sanders was fucked over by Clinton's shenanigans so I wouldn't say I'm pleased with the DNC or a democrat, just liberal-minded.
Did I cover everything? I'm not saying conservative-minded people have dumb or completely invalid opinions, not even close. Obviously, they wouldn't even exist if Republicans were completely wrong in literally every way possible.
Tl;dr you asked me my reasons why I am a liberal, and I gave them to you.

It’s not as uncommon as you think for women to be harassed in the same way hollywood stars harass them. The power dynamic that allows assault and rape exists outside of hollywood. So, it is more of a men’s issue than hollywood issue. However, i’m not saying it’s a men’s issue and a men’s issue only, for this power dynamic can apply for women in states of power, that situation is more unlikely, but not impossible and shouldn’t be overlooked. I understand what you were saying by calling it a hollywood issue but saying that women outside of hollywood don’t get harassed or assaulted is just incorrect.
What? He didn't deny it exists outside of Hollywood or the power dynamic. In the context of a video about a Hollywood guy

@SuperSaiyan Zero 15:55 - 16:20 basically belittles the situation by saying that it’s not something that happens/is common which is ... untrue. edit: i get what he was trying to do but the execution was incorrectly-worded, that’s all i’m saying. it’s not a big deal, relax.
THANK you for this! 8:42. All the smoothbrains on YouTube whine that Jimmy Fallon is not funny but he is funny and the guy tries to maintain an actual place for comedy and not low-hanging-fruit-political-bullshit. Thank you for showing that he deserves a little more credit.
I actually used to watch late shows a lot, I loved Fallon for awhile but Seth Myers and Kimmel made me stop watching cable TV as a whole. It was "Orange man bad look orange man funne" every night and one night I got so pissed and tired of hearing about it so thanks Jimmy Kimmel, you saved me from cable TV.
Modern political arguments in a nutshell: -If you're a liberal, you're an idiotic SJW snowflake! -If you're conservative, you're a racist ignorant old guy! -If you're a centrist/non-partisan, you're not taking action and are part of the problem plaguing America today! -If you were offended or disagree with what I'm saying, then you're an awful person who starts arguments randomly! -And if you do start an argument in the comment section, you're also part of the problem because you're an awful person who gets triggered easily!
I agree with what you’re saying about kümmel. He’s not funny. At all. And I agree with you on the politics, he shouldn’t talk about Trump as much as he does, it’s not even good points he makes it’s just “Trump bad”. But it would help sell your point more if you didn’t make your own political remarks. It’s kind of hypocritical.
@friedkimchi its not that, instead of saying Youre a black man Youre a white man You just say You are a man, the very being of labelling on color was one of his points, it isnt just "ignoring" the bad.
@Maxdud idk if just closing your eyes will make a problem go away, even if people stop complaining about racism, racists are still going to exist and will just exist without backlash
Christ yall are basic. The whole idea of “stop talking about racism” is that stat quo good. This mentality infers that George Floyd wasn’t killed out of racial motives, because racism doesn’t exist, so if we just ignore the problem it’ll go away. That’s a luxury you can only afford if you haven’t been harassed by cops before. Your solution is that people should stop complaining about things because they’re already fine; if everyone sticks their head in the sand then the problem goes away.
Not to say that the avg liberal’s pretty lazy when it comes to pushing stuff like better education in poor neighborhoods or decreasing the length of drug sentencing in america. Changing those things would put a lot of people born at a disadvantage more leeway and opportunity to move up in society and not end up in prison and become a second class citizen. A lot of people stop at reposting a black square on instagram or pushing for more representation in media.
When people push for petty easy to agree with rhetoric and blow it out of proportion like it’s the biggest problem, people will start to think it’s the biggest problem. The worst problem with gay people in america isn’t representation, it’s gay + trans people getting lynched and kicked out on the street for what they choose to do with their bodies. It’s massively influential people like Jk Rowling manipulating people into seeing changing one’s gender as a disease that must be purged.
@Tymera does being a father set you free of all legal responsibilities? Certainly not, if it did a large portion of people receive a get out of jail free card
@Slender Man 186 did you watch the trial? Or not cause during the trial it was proven by 3 different medical examiners that he didn't die of a fentanyl overdose but ok bud just keep ignoring that and you can literally search online there's no report that says he died of fentanyl so idk where you're getting that information from
This is the best video I've seen on YouTube. Over my near decade of viewing this is just the best view on the media and how people don't actually look into what's going on, what they gaslight and what they don't talk about. I would comment more but this video just explains it all. 10/10 GREAT STUFF
As a socialist, Kimmel embodies the ‘smug liberalism’ that I think may be the core of why liberals are so easily hatable by standard people. He just makes me angry, to the point I want to bitch slap him live on stage. Best part is, I haven’t seen any of his content. The closest I came was ads on YouTube and a teaser in the back of a New York Cab.
I'm a centrist, considered too left for the right and too right for the left and I completely agree. There's just something about it when people on the left get smug that makes them so damn unlikable. That's not to say the right doesn't have its fair share of unlikable people though.
Jimmy fallon may be basically a default character but that isnt all bad lol. I find him somewhat funny. And I immensely respect not having a billion political jokes shoved down my gullet
The 10,000 dislikes are from the people who didn’t watch the full video, or ignored all the logical talking points Emp made.

I only disliked because of his rant on liberals. I hate jimmy kimmel, but emp saying that "white privilege isn't real" is something I don't agree with personally.
@Crouching Tiger There is no LAW suppressing minorities, but the issue of white privilege is still present in society. The disproportionate amount of black people compared to white people who are wrongfully incarcerated is one big example, the majority of white people are less likely to be racially profiled than a Black/Hispanic/Asian etc. .And also, wtf do you mean by "The reason why African Americans have a lower average income is because of the culture they live in and they grow up in." How is the way we live affecting how were at a disadvantage? I would love to have this not be attributed to race but that's the unfortunate truth.
@KENSETH ROBB believe it or not people have control over their destiny for the most part, if instead of a culture that glorified gangs, drugs and flunking in school they would be going to post secondary and getting proper jobs but instead they choose to live in poverty. And this is not a race thing. White people who live in those areas tend to do bad as well
This video has aged like a fine wine. I hate most conservative media, but if nothing else the majority have shown that they can take a loss by not following the broader trend of "my side lost, time to complain about it for the next 4 years" or producing their own Kimmel.
@Kurt besides the comic relief and the immese pleasure I get from knowing I was right Trump was a con artist. Hating Trump has made me laugh the hardest I've ever had in my life. 4 years of non stop memes. Trump has gone down as the worst president in history.
@Kurt pretty great. How's your relationship with your sister/wife? You have alot of deflection for someone who's unable to cope with the world changing, yet stifles to jump on youtube because you need to come to trumps rescue. Lmao
A large portion of conservatives, including Trump himself, went into total denial that Trump lost and spent months doing everything possible to overturn the election results, up to and including storming the capital. This was encouraged by major conservative media outlets like Newsmax and One American News.
And your takeaway is, at least conservatives showed they can take a loss? Incredible.
@Eccentriastes Case in point? Mate, if you think that was "storming the capital", you should read up on history and see what an actual "coup attempt" looks like.
@Eccentriastes That's a loud minority of conservatives. Try talking to people who don't spend their life being angry on Twitter and you'll find that while most don't like the results and even think it's possible they were rigged, they still accept the way things turned out and even will speak against the few conservatives who honestly think we should forcefully overturn the results. You're deluding yourself in thinking that dumb internet/tv people even slightly represent the bigger picture.
@man with long nose "You're deluding yourself in thinking that dumb internet/tv people even slightly represent the bigger picture."
Isn't that just what this video is doing by focusing on Jimmy Kimmel as the symbol of American liberalism? Even if it is just a minority who were actively trying to overthrow the election results, that's not problem we've had before in living memory at all. By any reasonable standard, the conservative reaction to Trump's loss was worse than the liberal reaction to Clinton's loss.
@Eccentriastes He never said that Jimmy represents all liberals, he said that he represents the upper crust of liberalism. Big difference. Also, election results have been being manipulated by both sides for centuries, check ya history.
@Kurt I don't have to give you any reason. Especially just so you can pretend it's not good enough. Lmao. You're see through. It's pretty obvious. If you want evidence. His approval rating is a good indicator.
@PoisonBannana You've yet to actually tell me (and anyone else watching) why Biden is a "competent president". Instead, you keep lingering on these allegations of "sexual assault" towards former POTUS Trump which means nothing when it comes to discharging the duties of the office of the President of the United States of America.
So, stop taking potshots at Trump for a second, and tell us why Biden is "competent".
Also, your hostile attitude is irrelevant. Please try to be civil, insulting me proves nothing.
@PoisonBannana Where's the deflection, where's the lie?
I keep asking you a simple question, to show me where Biden's such a good "President", and you've done nothing but insult me and tell me how bad the Orange Man is.
(Also, Trump isn't my "idol", that would be a certain USN Commander.)
@Spooky Ghost Near me too, but look at the bigger picture. You'll find them scattered in the more rural areas of America, but it's a very vocal minority of people who are unintellent enough not to realize that Trump's chance has passed.
@Spooky Ghost My favorite is the "trump 2024, and the Trump 2022" as if he's gonna magically step back into the lime light as if people magically forgot he's garbage.
How am I not seeing a comment about "The Man Show?" Jimmy Kimmel wouldn't be able to come back to TV if people made a deal about it. Trump said his grabbing comment and Kimmel acted like he never hosted a show with women called "Juggies" jumping on trampolines to end every show.
I have no idea how that's skipped entirely. I feel like the moment the winds change for Kimmel, he'll get cancelled for something regarding the man show.
We try to spread awareness for factory farming and suggesting you go vegan, BUT those SOME people make us all look bad. Trust me, we're not like them. We actually like posting vegan recipes and cute animal pics (wildlife, farm and pets). That's all.
he has the right idea about hollywood lib types but he goes off the deep end in generalizing leftists with liberals and showing a clear lack of understanding of any of these issues by boiling them down to irrelevant. hes really close to getting the point but he misses and goes back to the conservative crazy libs anti sjw sargon shit.
At least i laugh a lot at the jokes of Fallon. Although i'm biased since he was one of my favourite in SNL. But both are now absolute eyesores. Also, Graham and Conan too. Just don't like talk shows any more.
"I don't believe that anyone actually likes Jimmy Kimmel" he said in a video with 10700 dislikes as of now I think there might be some people that like Kimmel
YouTube is better than TV anyway. I'm personally an English left winger (which is like super left in the US) , but grew up with 4chan so I can see the arguments put forward with Kekistan and there's access on here to reasoned argument from right wing sources as opposed to the bullshit echo Chambers on Facebook. The dichotomy of identity politics vs class politics is the biggest debate in the academic left and think you got it spot on. Theres a decent philosophical insight on the Society of the Spectacle and the recuperation of social justice movements in pop culture which essentially incorporates the counter culture into the mainstream for profit, which actually devalues the ideas and makes them look hypocritical and preachy. I think this has a lot to do with the alienation of a lot of people and the idea that left wing views are being pushed on people. Great vid.
When we go on holiday to America and we get excited about the novelty of late night show and get disappointed every time except when we are watching James Corden
Honestly I feel the same about it but the only thing I like from the Jimmy Kimmel Show is Guillermo, inky when they make him do shit thought cause it can be funny sometimes but ay that’s just my opinion
You clearly haven't seen the best AFHV has to offer, its 1000 times better than anything kimmel has ever said. Also im pretty sure thats not a comedian but a show
@sam 9786 S yeah last I saw it Carlton from fresh prince was just making the corniest, most repelling jokes I’ve ever heard over some fail army videos.
The rape thing doesn’t make a lot of sense because you used statistics in something that is known to be something that can’t be perfectly quantified. We can’t pretend we don’t know a lot of women don’t report their rapist, and sometimes are too scared of consequences. I’m not saying it’s the majority, because that’s what people like to say to side-step this, but it’s a significant enough amount of people to where you shouldn’t make ANY over-arching decisions or assumptions about the subject without also completely acknowledging and accepting that.
And the uhhhh.... “the only men who get away with it are rich powerful...” thing. yeah like, I know you’re trying to be somewhat reasonable and make a level-headed argument, but that was too much hyperbole . It’s just being ignorant. Like you can say he’s adding nothing to the conversation, or he’s being detrimental by even furthering the stereotype and making it “the norm” but, to say he’s wrong is bullshit.
This is genuine criticism, your video is entertaining even if I don’t think you are considering a lot of different factors that allow you to have certain points of view.
The problem is that media heads from either side focus so heavily on the most extreme example of their opponents (like blm rioters and neo nazis) and refuse to admit that the other party is not entirely composed of irrational cult members
Lol THANK YOU, idk why people are saying that this video aged well, I think it aged like garbage and while I really hate Kimmel, EmpLemon makes an ass out of himself throughout the whole video too.
He's right. He isn't getting triggered over nothing like "liberals" (I don't think that is the right word to use, leftist is better). These people are deranged and calling them out is fine.
I like EmpLemon, but man, his views on politics are stupid. LMAO. Going on about how Jimmy Kimmel doesn't know anything and follows that up by spouting a bunch of "le both sides" bullshit. Made this video too hard to watch.
Edit: Reading these comments too... he definitely attracted a certain crowd with this video.
Youtubers are people too, And politically speaking, just as emp lemon said. "Celebrities have no room in politics" while defending the TV star Trump." I'd have to agree with Emplemon, as he too should not be involved in politics whatsoever.
What we have here is a case of hypocrisy. He's a lesser known celeb, punching upwards. Just trying to hit the algorithm, while spewing his BS about how Kimmy Kimmel represents everything bad in America.
Ngl, he is alot less funny than Colbert or Meyers and I feel like he shares way too much of his personal life. That and he low ki humiliates people like his dude Mario or guests and in general is cringe.
@BritishYankee lol. authoritarian... Trump got closer than the left ever has when he made a large group of followers storm the capitol to instate him after he lost a democratic election.
I just hate these late night "comedy" talk shows anyway. They feel condescending. Then they all feel the same. Late Night with Seth Meyers. The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. Conan. Last Week Tonight with John Oliver. They all feel the same, just preachy leftist "clap because I said something inspirational" BS. One good thing about Trump winning was people realized how pretentious these shows are.
@Gatitoszuaves5 it has been two years and i am a changed man. for example, i would absolutely be willing to lose a leg or two for jpegmafia to spit on me i mean what
That was a dope video man. Kimmel, Colbert, Myers , etc are all examples of people who don't care much about actual comedic effort but would rather rely heavily on ham-fisted jokes about Trump, I know that's not the main focus of this piece but it's an important element. Good job.
Politics make everything worse, it can only go into certain projects without feeling like pandering or even manipulating. Something that nobody understands these days.
Politics is fine if everyone involved keeps people and their ideologies separated, and makes sure to understand someone's opinion before bashing it. Which never happens. :/
@Ryan Tosh The old internet was pretty damn close. Despite many communities being homophobic, some were not, and a select few gay people were considered cool enough to stay in some of the homophobic forums. But once Twitter and Facebook killed the forum sites, they were forced to go to war for safe spaces.
This could've been a good video, but it's sadly colored by Emp's own biased and selective views. He presents issues like gun control as being overly complicated and that it's not as simple as banning guns, then waves away complicated topics like racism and north korea(trust me, there's a reason NK has heavy anti-american propaganda, read history) and essentially shames or essentializes ideas who espouse otherwise as having some liberal bias or whatnot.
Also that segment with Kimmel telling women to feel what's in his pants, yeah I gotta admit that isn't a good look at all, and that even if it's not rape, it is still abusing his position as a celebrity. But what doesn't sit right with me is this is framed to make him look like a hypocrite after the harvey weinstein thing...sorry, but these two things are not at all equivalent in severity. It's just not the same.
But regardless, even if you 100% agree with Emp's views and 100% disagree with mine, that's fundamentally not the point in the first place. If the premise of the video was framed such that Kimmel is wrong because he's a dumb libtard and I'm right, then it'd be fair. But what Emp here did was, argue about Kimmel inserting his own bias and lecturing into these political issues, and how out of place and insufferable the presence of that may be in a late night show...but then while framing it like this, he attacks Kimmel's argument head on as if the premise was instead that the problem is Kimmel's ideas themselves are bad. It's frankly disingenuous and subtle manipulation.
You're essentially trying to say, "he is bad because his arguments/ideas are bad" and yet also "he is bad because he brings these topics when unneeded and lectures on them", this allows the former to be fed to the viewers while they are under the illusion of the latter, letting their guard down. This whole approach is wrong. You have ironically actually argued against your own point in doing this, because what you expect out of Kimmel, even you are unable to do so. Can't take this seriously.

@Lúzia A Morta buddy, you just keep saying "both right and left are dumb lol" while adding NO USEFULL IDEAS TO THE CONVERSATION, that is what a centrist do.
the situation is shit, WE ALL KNOW THAT, but at least voting and pushing for liberals is going to make it easy to future change, the civil rights movement was (no joke) a socialist movement, but used liberalism (which was and still is the most popular political ideology) to push the fight agaisnt racism, MLK sided with (racists) democrats because he knew that in the future that move would make it easier for blacks to keep pushing their goals, not because democrats are the good guys.
@Fco Omega i hate the fact that the two party system is dividing america and only causing problems to be blamed on "the democrats" or "the republicans'
@mechanicalruby first of all, americans are not divided, democrats have a HUGE advantage in votes and BY FAR more people in general that support their message, the only reason why republicans are still relevant is because Trump transformed the party into a death cult that now is slowly dying becaus their followers are too cringe for this world.

@Fco Omega oh no im turning into a strawman. Noooooooo lol. People should wear mask. I dont complain about wearing a mask. Until my giant hands snap the string and i have to get a new one. How clumsy I am. Lol
@Luna Y Sol then what is your point here exactly?, i mean, everyone here just tell me "lul you triggered" while been totally uncapable of defending conservatives for their stupid behaviour of this last years.
@Fco Omega Well not all conservatives think the way you want them to or what you imagine them as. You made a terrible generalization and a strawman you attacked when it wasnt necessary. You're constantly getting baited and cussing showing you care about something. Hell you just got baited and used a strawman, showing you still care. Conservatives are human. Now most conservatives are either tolerant and ignore or condemn the openly racist conservatives. Who is it to dictate which ideology is morally right or wrong. Of course liberals will think conservatives are morally wrong and vice versa. Now factually right is mostly liberals and some conservatives. But factually right in what subject? Depends. Either way you put these conservatives in a box that they all probably dont fit in. People are politically diverse in economics, immigration, war stance and all that. Now you argued and bashed on Centrists but they dont take a side but take a standpoint. I do wish I knew what the centrist was saying so I can collect on whos right and whos wrong (in my eyes). Your constant usage of insults really makes your argument look unintelligent and the strawmans you use makes it look worse. Some Conservatives do hold a view that pushing minorities as tokens is unnecessary and some liberals feel the same. Thats something good. Still I dont think you understand why theyre calling you triggered. Its because you constantly reply, cuss, and insult. You show to a degree that you do care.

@Fco Omega also you ask whats my point. Well I just wanted to comment because your arguments hold no ground on the original comment and is divisive and I wanted to call that out. Also some conservatives do believe in helping the enviroment. "Rake up the forest" was referring to cutting down dead trees which are fuel for wildfires. Nuclear energy is environmentally friendly and gives off zero emmisons but like the red scare and zepplins it has a bad rep. Some Conservatives do think about the enviroment but differently than Liberals. They dont like the green new deal cuz it'll cost a whole lot and we're already in debt. Some liberals say think about the long term, yet thinking about the short term is just as important. I think the green new deal will bring a great depression (especially with our economy right now) and it's transcontinental bullet train would be just like the hoover dam. History doesnt repeat, it rhymes. I do agree with some of the green new deal yet I have an understanding on how these expectations could be implemented, yet the document doesnt show how. Also cow flatulence is 5-10% of methane produced by cows, cow burps are 90-95% main source of methane. AOC got that wrong. Also Bernie got credit cards and Apr wrong so that does make people skeptical on his economic plan. Either way some Conservatives do have a different viewpoint of environmental protection yet still do care.
Edit Conservatives and Republicans I'm referring to. Not all Republicans are conservatives and an example is me.
@Luna Y Sol also, THIS ARE NOT STRAWMANS, people on the republican like Trump denied that covid would damage the country since march, republicans were the only ones who protested agaisnt quarentine because "its comunism" or something, they were the only people that voted AGAINST THE STIMULUS, i didnt made up this shit, you can see it in any decent newspaper.
If you cant undertand it, i dont care, i will not lose more time with someone who cant use his eyes.
@Fco Omega "an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument." You have been using strawmans the same way Conservatives strawman liberals. I havent at all denied anything you said that Republicans or conservatives have done, I know 130 Republicans and 2 Democrats voted against it, sadly. Yet you're making it seem like it all applies to me and others and you generalize. I get that strawmans come from somewhere (stereotypes and constant outrageous arguments). Some Republicans use strawmans and I call them out on it becuz they're insane. Now I cannot deny that detention centers have turned into concentration camps. It's Reagan to Trump's (and the presidents and Senate in between) fault for not ending them. Its sad what happens in them. Also democrats did have a Kkk leader in Senate. Kind of bonkers. I criticize my party alot, especially the trump supporters. I dont want fascism or another brink of war so I voted for Biden, the lesser of the evils. Also thanks for making this more productive. Still some flaws, but tolerable enough to have a peaceful ending discussion. Also I think liberal policies are better than democratic ones. Just depends on the Democrat though. I'm happy trump lost, so I dont have to get flooded with news about him and finally done hearing "orange man bad" jokes. What I as a Republican want my party to be is the liberal one, the Radical Republicans so we can work together with progressive democrats and not conserve the evils in the status quo. Like I have said before, stay safe, have fun, and have a great life.
@Luna Y Sol my guy, if you vote for people doing stupid things repeatedly, you are responsible for the stupid things, even if you think they are stupid things
@Fco OmegaFor a liberal you're not particularly tolerant of other people's views. You're falling into the same trap of pigeonholing all conservatives as Shapiro devotees who think Covid is a hoax whilst simultaneously complaining when they insult you in a similar way. How on earth are you going to convince other people that you're right if all you do is insult them and tar everyone with the same brush?
See, there’s certain people very close to me that I’d love to show this to, but there’s certain points you make that in fact I would personally disagree with, but I’m 100% with you on the spirit of the video and general point being made, but I know that someone who’s drank the kool aid for too long would be almost completely incapable of looking past the minor disagreements on certain points and would just dismiss the totality of the argument because your tone insults them, it just pisses me off how there’s so many people around which we all have to step on eggshells now
23:30 I can tell you why they force kids to waste 6 hours a day 5 days a week 180 days a year to sit in a place they don't want to be when the internet exists. It's because most families need to have both parents working in order to make ends meet. School is pretty much a glorified babysitting/daycare service.
Kerm They should be but I'm not sure if most of them can be trusted to educate themselves. Since high schoolers aren't considered adults until they're 18 supervision is still deemed necessary.
Kerm All the money in the world won't help kids who aren't being taught in a way that is compatible with the changing world around us. People are so accustomed to the old way they simply don't know how else to approach it. There are alternatives to modern education that already exist but they aren't well known or implemented in a large scale.
Tony Arcieri That's mostly at college which people think they need for a good job. College doesn't guarantee a good job like it once did, it's like the new high school and it's full of Marxist professors and left leaning bias. People only get manipulated if they let it, or they'll just pander to the professor's left leaning views to pass the class.
Exactly. Now, to be fair, there are some things I think people should know the basics of each subject with more in-depth classes as optional things. Kid's don't hate learning, they hate school. When I was a kid I was facinated by animals and picked up any book or educational show about them. I still do; but, I can almost guarentee you that if I was taught the stuff I knew in typical school fashion I would probably hate it.
Klutzy Ninja Kitty I think they should find what the child is already interested in and nurture that interest into expertise in order to give them a leg up on the job market. But instead kids are taught the basics of various subjects so they aren't an expert in anything and thus are unprepared for life outside of school. We need to help kids with skills, trades, and work experience, as well as teaching them how to navigate adult life, social skills, family, finances, etc...and adjust the curriculum based on individual needs instead of emphasising rote memorization of irrelevant topics that they'll promptly forget as soon as the class is over.
When I say the basics, I meant things like arithmetic, reading and writing, economics, and government (specifically how it works.) Maybe some earth science so you can get what's happening around you. I definitely agree that just beating facts into peoples heads isn't the best method and that things like finances should be emphasized. Social skills seem a bit shifty as with a government-mandated program I can see it opening the door for tons of problems. I mean, if it's stuff like 'don't hit' or 'don't steal' that might be effective, assuming the kids will follow it anyway, but I feel that should be up to the parent and child to decide. Society says that being an asshole is wrong; but, there's no legal way to stop you. That's a matter of the individual deciding how to act. Also, my major concern with things like unschooling, which lets the kids explore on their own, is that some of the kids might never want to move out of their comfort zones and try new things. Not only that, but it can also help to have multiple skills. I might be an awesome author who doesn't want to get into a publishing house, so it'd be important that I'd know some aspects of business. Maybe the right answer is to just teach kids how to learn and then feed/encourage curiosity before setting them free.
Klutzy Ninja Kitty Regarding social skills I mean what is expected of you, shaking hands, etiquette, reading social cues, etc... I'm not saying school should tell kids what to do and exactly how to act but guide them towards making friends and making connections with people. That is if it's needed, if a kid is socially awkward or having trouble making friends such a class might benefit them. Like I said it would depend on the individual. I agree we should encourage kids to go outside their comfort zone, but it should also have focus. There is a skills gap where there are a lot of jobs available but not enough skilled workers to fill them. We need to let kids know early on what is available, find out what they're good at, and give them a leg up on gaining expertise in a field so they'll have a good job lined up when they graduate. And if they have skills in multiple fields we can help them develop those as well. The emphasis should be on obtaining relevant skills but we should also teach kids other subjects that are important for general knowledge and brain development. And I completely agree that we should teach kids how to learn and nurture their innate curiosity. I'm not exactly talking about "unschooling" but changing the way schooling is done and what the emphasis is on.
I wish I had more focus and guidance growing up so that I knew exactly what I wanted to do and how to do it before I graduated and most kids need that. There are kids out there graduating high school without knowing how to read, woefully unprepared for adult life and modern expectations. People are overwhelmed and don't know what their options are, that is a problem. Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure the powers at be want to change that, perhaps they prefer a dumbed down and easily manipulated population that doesn't know how the world works.
There were some interesting points about Kimmel raised, but using Kimmel as a jumping off point to go after all late-night hosts who discuss politics is misleading since most of them aren't as bad as Kimmel. It also seems disingenuous to disguise personal political viewpoints as criticisms of Kimmel's content, ironically trying the same Pavlovian conditioning Kimmel is accused of.
It was a joke equal to the level of a teacher dabbing because it’s ‘hilarious’ nowadays, despite the fact that is was a normie idiotic thing years ago.
It absolutely is. There are tons of problems we need to solve in order to get the world to a 'good' point now, especially thanks to the virus and the lockdown ruining the conventional social sphere. Talk show hosts, however, barely touch on any of our real problems and they certainly have none of the solutions.
Functioning human: “No matter who the president is, the people as a democracy have an obligation to fix the country.” Kimmel: “Real sense...not! Lol, get the fuck outa here!”
I consider myself democrat/liberal, but the party has just completely gone right off the deep end and I hate what's happening with it. Sadly, only the crazies get heard because they yell the loudest, and calm, rational people aren't heard because they aren't willing to sink to the level of people who are screaming instead of having a conversation
Uhhhh you had me until you said most people who commit sexual assault are punished and the ONLY people who get away with it are rich men - appreciate the message you’re trying to send but that is just so, so wrong
28:42 this makes me absolutely enraged, I live in Texas, and haven’t come across a single racist person. We are just fine here, these people are scum for assuming this.
yep yep agreed. im a liberal and i agree with 90% of stuff here. actual equality is where you dont divide anyone into groups. and that you dont treat anyone in thode groups differently. no overly positive or overly negative bias to any groups. i think i worded this a little wrong
Wow. Love this video. Great work. Always disliked this guy, even though I could never truly put my finger on it. Since I never watch him, I obviously hadn't ever seen the Rosanna interview. When she asked him that honest question of, 'how do you feel about his foreign policy?' and he couldn't even engine her in any meaningful way short of 'wacky evil orange man, amiright!?!?!?' I was completely floored. Absolute garbage of a talk show host.
i understand what you mean however, i believe what he is talking about is the excessiveness that there is to bashing trump, i can say "haha biden forget things big funny" or all i want but its not going to ever be as excessive as having shows dedicated to bashing trump or caring so much about what trump does that you make him eating pizza a certain way a main headline while on the side bar you could see "43 people dead in car bomb explosion" or something like that, and even after he isnt president people will still do this though as i said i do agree with you that they do the same to biden and hillary to a degree
@Dante's Inferno actually, he didn't get cancelled. Because orang man bad liberal good. He gets a pass bc he is a liberal and that shouldn't be allowed. People who deserve to get cancelled, deserve to get cancelled
They change as society changes. Political Parties are an expression of what certain believed and valued at certain time.
More specifically the Republican Party became the party it became today when Conservative Southern Democrats (AKA Dixiecrats) left the Democrats after JFK created laws making segregation illegal and promising equal protection of African Americans under the law. This created the Southern Strategy that would give the GOP political control in southern states
@Colin Mcgrath So after the civil rights movement basically, in the 50s and 60s? How come the "Racist south" didn't start voting Republican until the 70s and 80s?
1. The Trend began in the mid to late 60’s. I never said it started in the 50’s. Also during that time there were Republicans who supported Civil Rights, such as Nixon
2. Did you think all politicians did it out of the kindness of their heart? While some do, many saw that getting the AA vote would be a good move for them in long term.
2b. While what Johnson said was terrible, we have to remember he was a product of his time.
2c. I don’t even really like LBJ as I am anti Vietnam War.
@Colin Mcgrath I don't think he means all parties changing is the point he made. I think the point was that "The Democrats and Republicans switching who is racist is bullshit." Which I agree with. Democrats became so unpopular that they basically had to suck up to black people and lie that, "They were the only ones that can help them" despite being the party of Jim Crow Laws and the KKK. Those kids that had to be escorted to the school by the national guard due to the governer ordering the police to prevent it? The governer was Democratic. We forget that it was only a mere 60 years ago that the "last time" Democrats were allegedly racist. I say "last time", because I still do believe they are racist. They treat black people like helpless victims that always need their help and can never pick themselves up, they say openly racist things against white people which if you switched around and said about black people would instantly be called racist, and rightly so, and they seem to bring up Jews and Jewish conspiracy a lot more than, "right-wing Neo-Nazi, heteropatriarical, cisgendered, racist, republicans."
@Big Jay The parties swapped swapped around the time of Nixon. Prior to Nixon, the Republican party was progressive, and the Democratic party was conservative.
You can see this when looking at the elections prior to Nixon and the candidates' party alignment. South voted Democrat, and North voted Republican. That doesn't happen today.
So your saying political parties do not change and the Republican party of Theodore Roosevelt aka the “Trust Buster” is the Same Party of that brought as Reagan?
Did David Duke vote Republican or Democrat in 2016?
Also Anti White Racism isn’t really. When your a political and social minority and face police brutality regularly, give me a call.

@Colin Mcgrath If you hate a group of people because of the color of their skin, either it be black, white, yellow, brown, any of it, that is the textbook definition of racism. Like, what mental gymnastics do you need to perform to see otherwise? And who the hell is David Duke?
@Colin Mcgrath the south started voting republican because industry moved south, and northerners followed it lmao.
Anyone with a grasp of American history knows that. The parties didnt change at all. One of those racist democrats was a kkk AND Hillary's mentor, dude.
@Colin Mcgrath In a way I suppose. But they don't treat them like little children that need handouts. They treat them like adults down on their luck, who need jobs and family cohesion, not free money.
@Big Jay It’s easy to say “just get a job”. But like it or not African Americans have a harder time getting a job than White people on Average. For example, People with “Black Sounding” names are often passed over for people with White sounding names even if both people have the same credentials. (If you want a citation, I can give it to you, just ask).
It also doesn’t help that education in black communities are often underfunded and lacking. So often these kids are metaphorically shot in the foot before they even leave high school.
Also Right wingers do treat their base like children. The immigrants are both taking their jobs and taking away welfare money that should go to them. Instead of Republicans telling poor whites what they tell poor blacks, to toughen up and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, they are shown preferential treatment by telling these people that they were wronged and that those jobs should be theirs, and that Democrats don’t care about the “working class”.
@Colin Mcgrath Don't worry, I've seen that study too. I believe that hiring should be a meritocracy. Resumes should only have accomplishments, unless the job requires a certain physical description. Problem is, meritocracy is somehow sexist. A company did experiment like what I just listed, only hiring based on accomplishments and managed to hire more men than women, so sexism.
Speaking of education, are you for or against school choice? This would basically allow parents to choose which school their kids would go to which would make it highly competitive for schools to improve. It's not entirely and underfunding thing, it's a, "schools aren't encouraged to improve" thing.
@Blue Typhoon2017 "The parties switched?" The video you sent me literally talks about how the people, and the South, switched, not the parties. Did you even send me the right video?
Doctor Jones I went back and rewatched the video, and it mostly explains why the parties switched, can you explain why you believe it talked about the people and the south switching?
@Big Jay I do not mean that. Johnson's actions were a catalyst. In fact most historians say the switch happened between 1860-1936, three decades before you claim it occurred. "...pins the transition to the turn of the 20th century, when a highly influential Democrat named William Jennings Bryan blurred party lines by emphasizing the government's role in ensuring social justice through expansions of federal power — traditionally, a Republican stance." Both parties were trying to satisfy disenfranchised voters in the West and thus adopted social justice platforms, slowly the Republicans would stray from those ideals, but Johnson's aggression and cold heartedness can be seen as a catalyst.
Good piece. The parts about minorities not so much. It's more of an outrage today because y'all have never fixed racism ever since the civil rights movement. And any time minority issues come up you start listing everything else that's wrong except minority issues. So keep up.
Trump was dumb, but we don't need 500 shows telling us about it. I'm glad he's out not just because he was dumb, but also because comedians have to actually come up with jokes.
What's worse is the dozens of movies that are going to be made about him that are going to all tread over the same material we all lived through already. He's finally gone so lets move on instead of keeping him in our minds constantly.
“You wanna know why liberals keep losing in America?” ... That didn’t age well. Also, white privilege is a real socioeconomic phenomenon, not a personal judgment of your character. Chill. Your political opinions aren’t all that informed.
He meant losing in general, just because you’re in power doesn’t mean you can’t lose and also white privilege doesn’t exist, you should probably do some socioeconomic research on it
I'm 16 and Ive already tuned out the media (every sane person has) and its safe to say I wont ever go back to watching shows like this again, too much cringe for me to handle.
Thank goodness. I am 54. I used to watch Fox news and wonder how they could get away with it. Fudging statistics, cherry picking, fallacious arguments all over the place, hyperbole, repeating false misleading statements over and over until people just assumed they were true. Every trick in the book. Finally the left caught up and now employ the same tactics on CNN, NPR, MSNBC....the left, and the democrats, whom I used to support whole heartedly, are now a bunch of hypocrites. A word that used to mean something. Now our politicians just shrug it off. Once you realize they are just peddling controversy, and people are getting a hit of righteous dope every time they watch the news, or crap entertainment like this, it all becomes clear. How much money they make all depends on the ratings. Ratings drive advertising placement. It's a competition for the ad dollars. The more advertising $$, the more you can garner in salary. Controversy = ratings = advertising $$ = salary. Good for you for tuning it out. Until we publicly finance elections, we will get the politicians that are paid for. Currently, our system turns our politicians into whores.
@Orcinus1967 honestly i dont agree with some of your other comments but i must thank you; you put into words this strong annoyance ive felt for so long regarding the news media but been unable to articulate
@Orcinus1967 I just can't wach any news anymore...
As a kid you have this notion that the news is this beacon of Truth put out by smart adults who are passionate about putting out the truth,
But as you get a little older you reallise it's just for people who want to push out their agenda, and or make money by selling fake, fear mongering, and sensational stories...
@Samuel McL. Thanks for saying that. It wasn't until I read an article about the radio wars in Philly where I grew up, that I came to understand. "Howard Stern entered national syndication on August 18, 1986 when WYSP in Philadelphia first simulcast the program. In the 18-plus male demographic, WYSP rose from eleventh to second place in three months. Stern began a rivalry with the number one host John DeBella of WMMR, and was determined to beat him in the ratings. He achieved his goal in April 1990, and held a celebratory "funeral" for DeBella on May 10 in Rittenhouse Square which aired live." (Wikipedia) The article pointed out WHY it was so important to win the ratings war. The money/ salary from the advertisers is completely driven by ratings. I didn't come up with that on my own. Controversy sells. If it bleeds it leads and all that. Just recently I came up with the 'hit of righteous dope the talking heads are pushing" concept. Its pretty preachy in and of itself. I get a rush out of being righteous and pointing my finger too. Stimulating is what it is. Peace love and understanding is not as stimulating. Nor does it make as much money. "As I walk through this wicked world Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity I ask myself, "Is all hope lost? Is there only pain and hatred and misery?" And each time I feel like this inside There's one thing I wanna know What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
And as I walk on through troubled times My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes So where are the strong and who are the trusted? And where is the harmony, sweet harmony? 'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away Just makes me wanna cry What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding? So where are the strong and who are the trusted? And where is the harmony, sweet harmony? -Elvis Costello https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssd3U_zicAI
@Orcinus1967 Yeah I remember when they interviewed the father of one of the teens who got killed in CHAZ, it felt so disrespectful against the father since the interviewers were constantly making reactions to boost their agenda. I am not saying that CHAZ was a good idea by any means, it certainly wasn’t when it resulted in the deaths of teens, but the interview gave me a gut feeling that made me feel bad for the parent. He clearly had nowhere to demand justice for his son’s death but FOX News.
Left-leaning independent here to look at the other pov. Still disagree, but still. It's safe to say that everyone who religiously affiliates themselves with a political party think's they're "holier than thou" and that goes both ways. It mostly applies to Trump supporters now, but it has in the past related to the party I most agree with. I am seeing a lot of "holier than thou" bullshit everywhere here. "the left" this. "the left" that. Shut up. You're just as bad as you say the other side is. After all, I think we both know that no president is a saint. Ever.
The different topics aka talking about real problems in America is something John Oliver does. Really good content about something abstract like the post system to the high political stuff.
"You have to be smart to be a liberal." Right. Ask a "smart" liberal to define that word from a historical perspective. Hint: It has nothing to do with clamping down on free speech, nothing to do with worshiping the State, nothing to do with giving more of your earned income to the bureaucracy. Ask a "smart" liberal if they know who John Stuart Mill or John Locke are. Hint: They are the fathers of liberalism. The fact is the libertarian philosophy is the closest analog to historical liberalism. And the modern left hates the libertarians as much as they hate conservatives. Modern "liberalism" is closer to the Bolshevik Party than anything else

Emp on Democrats: "For a party with such brilliant people, you sure do lose a lot" How is losing the presidential popular vote only once in 32 years losing a lot? Emp shows Trump winning one election and the narration says the Dems "sure do lose a lot" - how does Emp expect anyone to take him seriously with such disingenuous commentary?
He didn't mean just the presidential election. Republicans had the majority in Senate at the time too. So it certainly isn't just one election.
Also, popular vote literally doesn't matter. There's no proof Hillary or Al Gore would win if it came down to the popular vote, as candidates would campaign completely differently. For example, Trump had no reason to campaign in California to get better popular vote numbers. If popular vote mattered, he'd probably campaign a lot in California. Similar logic applies to Hillary, which would likely end up in the election results being very different. We will never be able tell who would be the winner if the 2016 election came down to the popular vote, as we've never got to experience the reality. That's a fact.
Wish this was the first video I saw from you, so I never watched any of your other videos.
So many things wrong with this video. Showing a graph of SA falling to downplay the reality of SA, and then trying to act like it's an intellectual take? "Things use to be worse, so they couldn't possibly be bad now." Christ dude. And showing a picture of Obama as some sort of proof that racism doesn't exist in America? I enjoyed your other videos, but you really showed your true colors here. Not even because it's opinionated, but because your justifications for your opinions are so incredibly stupid and it's clear that you just wanted to have a temper tantrum about those nasty liberals. You could've brought up real points, about how Kimmel used to have a show that was incredibly sexist, and his lectures about SA now are hypocritical. But no, that would take actual research, instead of 30 minutes of emotional, biased yelling and dog whistles. I hope you've changed in 3 years because this is just embarrassingly bad.
This is exactly what I was thinking. I was waiting for a more objective take the whole time and it just didn't come. I guess you can't really expect that much from someone who makes multiple NASCAR history videos.
thank you for lecturing me several times about how bad liberals are, that really did keep me interested in your video about jimmy kimmel it's fine to have your political views, and obviously those views are going to be made obvious in a video about jimmy kimmel live, which is a political talk show, but can you not rant about liberals for five fucking minutes emp
They need to be called out. It’s been Republican this and Conservative that. Not saying that Republicans are great but still. Liberals need to be called out more. They always get away with things but whenever Conservatives do sometimes bad, people still rant about them forever. Liberals are not what they are anymore. They don’t help or stand up for other people. They only care about themselves and judge people by the color of their skin (Mainly white straight men because they’re bad am I rite?)
@DUCKBRINGER and as you said jimmy kimmel live is a political talk show and he's countering the fact that he goes overboard when bashing trump, there is much more to the video than just talking about liberals and i dont understand how you think 5 mins of talking about liberals compares at all to the other 20 or so minutes that he talks about other problems with the show (valid points i think)
@Ronny Donny's Cream I understood that Jimmy went out of his way to bash Trump when he said "he goes out of his way to bash Trump", it would be better if he gave some examples of Jimmy going out of his way to bash Trump, but five minutes of "he goes out of his way to bash Trump" isn't any better than one

When a person uses repulsive behaviors such as fear and loathing (in Kimmel's case, insults and snobbishness) to get to a certain goal, whenever it's making a statement about some sort of belief or call to action, the person as well as the action or belief is seen itself as repulsive. This also happened with Trump as well, which served as the fuel used against him. This is also why some sites on social media have begun to go against mainstream media.

8 likes@Billy Perry Right? I think it was Kurtis Conner's video on "The Man Show" that I first saw it.
12 likesAmazingly put together video that I can't help but revisit every now and then, but I happen to disagree with two major points:
43 likesThe rape point was quite jarring to watch as it felt more feeling inclined then actually researched; I agree with Hollywood being a disgusting cesspool of like mindedness for rape culture, but a big consideration is the fact that sexual harassment is still a huge issue outside of Hollywood. You acknowledge that there is a long way to go, but promptly disregard it again when you say, "The men who do [sexually assault/rape], get promptly punished and ostracized for it," demeaning your point in not wanting to "oversimplify the situation to oblivion." Majority of cases are not followed through; rape is a nightmare to deal with in court because of how hard it is to prove (most of it being 'he said, she said' play), so many cases are not accurately punished, and thus sentences are lighter then the 25-30 years (depending on whether a child was involved). As well as that, saying that you and most others wouldn't ever do such a thing feeds into the 'oversimplification' (namely the prevalence of rape culture in teenage and young adult male populations is a massive worry).
Another point is towards the end: I hold the belief that race is still a major issue that plays into what is happening around us. I guess I can say this due to it being 2022 with current events like BLM, but regardless, race links with social-economical issues. Issues of these sort are always interlinked, and although easier said then done (since that's what internet sjw do), we should focus on adressing both of them so that they are acknowledged.
Apart from those two points, fantastic video! Definitely sparks discussion and the details regarding Trump were spot on!

2 likes1. I believe "well calculated assassination" means: Although it did not impact his fans (if you believe they exist), it showed viewers of Emp Lemon who were not fans (maybe some fans, that is if they exist) that Jimmy Kimmel (the persona) is a scumbag. Personally, in my opinion, a mask is something you wear and if a mask is not comfortable, you probably are not wearing it (as shown with Karens). I believe (not confirmed just my opinion) that although Jimmy's mask is not him, a small portion of him (maybe big) is truly reflected in his mask. He used his political viewpoints on his show. So, idk him irl much as a persona i hate him but a persona, at the end of the day, is a reflection of you (maybe not a perfect one, but its definitely a murky one).

What is your country of origin (I am genuinely intersted)? Was your country based on slavery and racism? There are countless examples of white oppression and privilege that any sane person would collapse under its weight. And it started with the arrival of white men on the North American continent.
34 likesIt's actually the opposite. It is the fact that we are a multicultural nation that causes people to be obsessed over race relations, rightly or wrongly. If 99.9% of people in the US were white then we wouldn't be worrying about it at all.
121 likesAs for why we still care about it nowadays, well you could ask a thousand people and get a thousand different answers.
IMO, I think it has to do with deep seated ideological and identity based reasons. So a person of a particular skin color grows up and learns "This is 'my' people's history in th US so that's how things are." when that might not actually be true and is just a holdover from over 50 years ago or longer.

Race has absolutely nothing to do with privilege and I'm fortunate enough to live in a much better town because the government subsidized my single mother's rent. While what people did to Africans and the Native American people was an atrocity, that is in the past. Basically privilege is BS.
109 likes@diane ridley Its just untrue that USA was based on slavery and racism. Remember the south lost the civil war. And it was because the slave holding south was a regressive parasitic tumor that was a roundabout economy that relied on slaves. The North was more industrial, higher population and a higher economic value. Oppression and privilege is literally unavoidable when there is a majority and minority country. There is a reason why the balkans are the balkans. Also if you conflate the presence of slavery to the country being founded on it, then you could say that about most muslim, african and asian societies.

3 likesReligion & politics often make some people lose all perspective and give way to ranting and raving and carrying on like emotional children. They either refuse to discuss it with reason, or else they prefer argumentum ad hominum, which is a hell of a way to conduct a discussion. Well, anyhow, not long ago, I was talking about the elections, and how the campaigns were ignoring the issues, and sticking instead to invective and personal crap that had nothing to do with the substantive problems of running a government, which is all true, as you know if you followed the speeches and so-called debates of the candidates. Anyhow, one of the guys I was talking with said not a word in the whole conversation except at the end when he suddenly chuckled and said we were all full of shit, and why didn't we go live in Russia or China if that was the way we all hated the United States Of America. Next thing you know the whole blooming discussion was more like a brawl, And the epithets flew thick and fast, and the noise was incredible. Someone said "son of a bitch", and I think he said "bastard". I couldn't be sure, it was all so confusing. Well, anyhow, I was attempting to get it all back on a rational level. I tried, for example, to talk to the one who had started it all, and I asked him just what did he mean we were all full of shit. Was he making a statement of fact as he knew it, and where was his documentation to back up his claim? I think Socrates would've been proud of the way I refuted his argument. That is, I tried to refute it, but all he could offer by way of rebuttal was more of the same about how we were all full of shit. But he wouldn't say why, he just kept on repeating it, that and the part about Russia and China and communist dupes, and I'll have to confess that I got a bit angry and told him to stuff his ideas up his ass, which you don't have to tell me is hardly a way to convince anyone in an argument. Then he got salty and threatened to give me a punch in the mouth if I didn't shut up, and I really got hot, and the others did too, and we all beat the shit out of mister conservative. And, after all, he had only himself to be blamed. This is still a free country, And anyone telling a fellow like me, "Brother, you're full of shit", better be good and ready to answer politely when asked if he'd care to say why
@Certified Intellectual: James Taboo Ah yes, because the fact that other countries have it worse automatically means that America is exempt from any and all criticism.

If any country was “Based on slavery and racism” it is Brazil and not the US
Something else is the problem. In Brazil slaves, europeans, asians and indians interbred, we have a highly mixed population but that was not what happened in the US leaving division and conflict to grow from this segregation
@diane ridley The United States wasn't based on Slavery or Racism. I don't get where you're coming from but I think you need to go back and do some digging on the revolution again. However, I'm Native American and White and I live paycheck to paycheck. I don't look Native American as I have fair skin. So I don't know where this "white privilege" is coming from.

7 likes@GloriousHotWingsJr Playing hockey and watching Hockey are 2 completely different experiences. If I watch hockey I can barely stay awake. When I play it. It feels like an out of body experience and I'm pushed to my limits. When i watch other people play video games it's either cause I'm interested in buying the game or I wanna see my favorite streamer/youtubers reaction to a game. If you had read your comment out loud you would see how foolish this entire comparison is.
30 likes@Cryo Judgement you literally said nothing to make me sound like an idiot. I know I that playing sports is more entertaining than watching it, I never said otherwise. But playing video games is often boring and watching someone play video games is just depressing. You literally said that watching someone else play video games is unentertaining and then said I was foolish for saying that. You admitted that you only watch people play a game for you to see if you like it or if it is a streamer you like. For sports it is the same if there are players or a team that you like watching or that they are just talented players and that’s why you enjoy watching them.
0 likes@GloriousHotWingsJr with that logic if I watch sports I must be morbidly obese or a paraplegic. If I play sports I must be an athlete or superstar. For each person their experience with watching videogames/sports and playing videogames/sports is different. If a person who doesent shower and only knows people through videogames watches others play videogames for social experiences than that is sad, if I watch a youtuber/streamer to see them play a game for their take or to see the game itself that's passive and societally accepted. Watching someone play sports while obese and not being physically active whether because of a disablliltiy or you not being fit is sad. Watching someone else play sports while physically healthy and as entertainment is competetive and societally accepted. Each person's experience is different. You cant just categorize an act as objectively sad/boring/stupid because to that person it might be joyous/fun/inspiring. I could look at someone core apple's in a field all day and call it boring and stupid but to that farmer who uses those apples to feed a community it's important and fun. Not everything is governed by your view of what is right and wrong, fun and boring, stupid and enjoyable. Each humans experience is different when experiencing something. Its part of the human condition.
15 likes@Cryo Judgement Again you fail to understand me, I said I it is depressing I didn’t say that if you watch people play games you are depressed. Those two things are different. And I guess all that nonsense you just wrote could be summarized as agree to disagree? I am not sure it is very difficult to understand you. But I still know that watching sports is very different to watching someone else play video games. I personally like playing sports more than watching it and I enjoy playing video games much more than watching someone else play it.
1 like@GloriousHotWingsJr goes were talking about 2 different things because I fail to see how that doesent answer your comment but to summarize. Each person has a different way of experiencing things. You and I have drastic views on this subject so neither of our views on these actions matter because each person sees their actions a completely different way than another person does. I find watching people play games fun, you dont. I find watching sports a waste of time, you dont. I get your point about people watching sports for more talented people and the competetive nature of it but you speak in absolutes and word it such that your opinion is objective fact. And the adjective "depressing" means that it makes you depressed, or it makes an impression upon a solid Surface. I'm assuming you meant the first.
10 likes@Cryo Judgement so you started a fight just to say we will disagree no matter what happens.

@clerp I believe that nothing is off limits, but context matters. It's as simple as that. There's a wrong time and place for literally everything and people need to learn to read a fucking room before making edgier jokes.

1 like@Aria Jacobs and the line gets kinda blurred when your black friends are extremely edgy in humor.
0 likes@Jarred2200 That's true. But if someone says they're not okay with a joke, there's your answer. In the case of black face, there is literally no context where that's okay because of it's history and what it represents, especially from a celebrity who is showing it to an entire country. Imagine if Bill Gates dressed up as Hitler and mocked Jews on live television. Not funny.

I mean maybe Robert Downey Jr is probably the only one that had some interesting commentary when it comes to black face.

1 like@Jarred2200 We already know it's a sensitive topic and most people can understand how shittily Kimmel did it, so I don't think those were waters that needed to be tested. I imagine it could become commonplace, but I highly doubt it ever will, which isn't necessarily a bad thing.
2 likes@Aria Jacobs Offense can be taken to anything though, because it, like humour, is subjective. So unless you wanna have even more comedy police, I think people just need to get thicker skin and quit being offended by everything.

1 like@Aria Jacobs At some point, we have to take into account people are able to control their emotions, so we don't end up always justifying someone being offended at a "ur mom" joke. That's how all this [overly PC can't joke about anything] shit got started.
0 likes@clerp What you're doing is trying to invalidate the feelings of others. Other people are allowed to feel offended by jokes, and instead of telling them to stop being offended you should take their feelings into account, try to understand why they feel the way they do, and attempt to resolve the issue. Maybe they're just not okay with that kind of joke, so don't tell it around them. Of course, it's different on the internet, so the most you can really to is apologize for any unintended offense caused and move on. You don't have to retract the joke, but at least understand that the people getting upset have the right to be, just like you have the right to tell the joke in the first place.

The problem with America is that unlike South Africa where the racism is open and bare faced, America's racism is subtle, they do stuff like this for shits and giggles but in the end if you attempt to do something even similar to blackface then you're downplaying the seriousness of racism and you're being racist yourself for condoning or being apart of it.
0 likesHumour isn't always subjective or inanimate it can be an expression of people's true feelings, the KKK can call black men and women atrocious things and laugh about it but that doesn't make what they're saying and doing not objectively wrong.
Dark humour and the structure of jokes similar to that genre is meant to not make light of a serious topic but to transcend whatever pain, misery and suffering that was there and turn it on itself, showing the absurdity of the human condition and all the bullshit we've done to ourselves. Black face isn't dark humour, it can't be counted as such because its a physical act of expression, that expression is the open opinion that you think black people are joke, that they're animals, that they're not human, it's making fun of their features and mimicking then because you personally find it hilarious but objectively that is wrong, because you're doing it because you hate black people and you want to make fun of them. That's black facing, that's the definition of it so stfu.
TL;DR Black face isn't a joke, it's plain racism and you have no understanding about how jokes or the structure of humour works in the context of modern society you bozo.

2 likesI enjoyed the topic of this video, and I myself am not a fan of Jimmy Kimmel, I also enjoy most of your videos on your channel, but the point you made about race relations not existing is completely false. I don’t believe jokes can be considered racist either, but you used Obama winning the election of 2008 and 2012 as being a reason for racism no longer existing. Which is unfortunately an extremely common misconception that has dwelled for years, there are several instances of people of color being killed by police officers due to their skin color and stereotypes often associated with them. And also you claimed that racism is just an opinion, yet that is an extremely ignorant statement, racism can lead to violence and bitter hatred towards people, that can no longer be excused as just an opinion. When Obama had won the election people had assumed racism was a thing of the past and people tried to stop talking about it ( like Morgan Freeman had suggested) however this has still lead to several killings towards minorities. I think you made good points throughout this video, however that was one that wasn’t entirely backed correctly.

Also, this is just an assumption, but I can guess you are against cancel culture, which benefits from taking actions or statements made by people years ago, and try to wipe their career away for that, yet you are using Jimmy Kimmel’s blackface sketch from years ago as an example of why Jimmy himself may be racist currently.

0 likesHe explicitly said that racism exists and is an issue, but just not nearly to the extent that people think it is. There is a fraction of the population that is racist, but it is a fraction that is very hard to come by. People are so devoid of meaning in today's world due to a terribly successful secularist movement that they have to create and project problems for them to solve just to give themselves a purpose and something to work towards in life.
3 likesAlso, you said in that paragraph that calling racism an opinion is ignorant because it can lead to violence. You have to have some short-circuiting up there to actually believe this. Religion is an opinion: religion causes bitter hatred and violence (al-Qaeda, ISIS, and Christian Crusades to name a few). Politics are opinions: politics cause bitter hatred and violence(literally every war, oh and don't forget Twitter). Whether or not you like a movie or not is an opinion, and guess what? That opinion can cause bitter hatred and violence too(I lost a friend by saying I hated Star Wars and thought it was a stupid franchise).
Also, I forget the correct statistic, but it goes something like cops are more likely to kill unarmed white people than black people proportional to the amount of violent crimes they commit. Also, I can guarantee that I can rebut ANY "racist cop" story you can come up with besides OJ Simpson and Ahmaud Arbery.

1 like@Austin Kilgore Most states are already ignored completely. That's driven both by the electoral cycle and the distribution of votes in the electoral college. So it actually makes the problem of ignoring states worse.
2 likesUnfairness is giving some people votes that are worth 100 votes of other people just because of where they live. You don't get to complain about states having excessive power, when that is exactly what the EC causes. Whereas there is nothing excessive about proportional representation. Not being excessive is literally in the name.
States are not people. What's good for people is what matters. And how can something be good for a state and not people anyway?
If you're going to talk about "What’s best for" some states not being "what’s best for the rest", then you don't get to pretend that it doesn't apply to the current system. Which, while we're on the subject, does not work the way it was originally designed. Nor were the Founding Fathers superhuman geniuses that could see the future. They also allowed slavery for a reason.

I tolerate Jimmy Fallon and have even considered that I enjoy watching his show: but it's a sort of shallow and measured enjoyment.

Anyways I'm going to watch your analysis because even though you sometimes lead me places I definitely find disagreeable, you put a lot of effort into your videos and I enjoy many of the references you include. You've got the same appeal as Angry Video Game Nerd, but way more abstract.

142 likes@B. At least I can spell.
131 likes@B. I don't see a need to call him names. I did look further into it and I do believe he is wrong and that George Floyd didn't die from an overdose. I believe that the reports both noting the drugs but concluding that it was the choking out that directly caused his death don't have any obvious reasons to doubt said conclusion, and that the claim that he had enough fentanyl in his system to "kill three grown men" was at best a mistake. I actually read the autopsy myself in the middle of my search to check for any mistakes in reporting and while I'm not qualified to give a detailed analysis I did note that the level of fentanyl in his system was as reported and although while spending a few dozen minutes reading up I confirmed that fentanyl is an insanely dangerous drug, I also learned enough to reasonably agree with experts that Floyd's autopsy doesn't really lead to an overdose. Even in the potential case that it compromised his cardiopulmonary system to the point where without it in his system, he would have survived Chauvin pressing on his neck, then it's still murder by excessive force. Also since it's plausible that getting your oxygen supply cut off for that long could kill a perfectly healthy man, I don't believe it's fair to call it anything but murder.

I personally don’t like trump very much, but Jimmy Kimmel is just a little obsessed, it’s like when you make a mistake in your wording and that one friend keeps bringing it up and laughing.

As a left-leaning independent, I could not agree more with this statement. Bias in the media is a topic I've been watching ever since Trump won the election, and it truly is something to behold. It really sucks because there really isn't anything wrong with having internal bias and beliefs, as long as you don't impose these beliefs on others or let said bias impact your actions. The hypocrisy of this industry is evident because they constantly emphasize that republicans are loud-mouthed and emotionally immature and lack empathy, and yet they project their beliefs and feelings onto their products and criticize anyone who disagrees, despite the fact that they just said republicans never listen to anyone.

You can be a leftist and still make fun of the non-substantive mistakes Trump makes, but I don't think that that really should be at the forefront of anyone's mind.

3 likes@Tony Dai I think there are two types of leftists, the ones that actually know what they're supporting and do research on the topics. and then there the ones who just watch main stream news and has little knowledge of politics, but voted Biden anyways because the media said so. Biden is not an accurate representative of the actual left. He basically is Trump 2.0. In less than 2 months there already has been thousands detained at the border, US warships sent dangerously close to China on purpose, Syria getting bombed for no known reason (we defeated isis a long time ago) If you were unaware, you would think that was being ordered under some militaristic autocrat.
8 likes@BIG MAK well liberals who feign advocacy for socially progressive politics but still work to keep elite politicians in a position of power over every actual worker in the country are not leftists.

People believe communism and socialism are the same thing, completely shattering any chances of an actual left representative to win.

Trump, like many political figures, did terrible things and repeatedly proved their own inability to run a country, but the media became hyper focused on things that didn't matter, like him having a comb over or a bad fake tan.

@Mesotolioma been 4 months but basically today’s politics is like baseball if their was only two teams, you pick your team and you die on any hill defending them under any circumstances. Lefties will grandstand and claim the moral high ground, while while conservatives try their best to tie their shoes in their own in the morning. It’s all nonsense really, it’s always about what side does what or how another side acts, it’s never about policy or solutions, it’s all just constant whining and moaning from both sides about the same bs they’ve been complaining about for the last 4 years.

278 likesCarlin's opinion of Tantrum Trump would be pretty much the same as Slick Willie: At least he's honest about being full of shit.
@Antiform well said lol. You must be libertarian like I am haha. Although the primaries definitely were not rigged against Sanders. Sanders was too early. Americans are sympathetic to Socialism, but they are still uncomfortable with it. That was proven two years ago. But they will not be come the 2020s, and the US will eventually become a poor man's USSR. One disagreement, and that is that no election is rigged. They are rigged 100% of the time just because of their existence. Because who wins in any election? Certainly not citizens. But the state does. Each and every time.
20 likesYou gotta just sit back and laugh at it all, really. Obombya and Tantrum Trump are following the path that Neocon Dubya blazed for them. A new path will be blazed soon, probably by a younger version of Sanders. That's when things are gonna REALLY suck. Well they'll be alright for a few years but then its just gonna bite everyone in the ass. Just like the USSR and most of Eastern Europe from the 1940s-1990s. There will be coups and probably a 2nd revolutionary war. Not something I want to be a part of. 3rd world Southeast Asia may have more statism, but at least things are cheaper there and I don't have to worry about wars being started for no reason at all.
I also disagree with the Bushisms being unintentional. Although he was one of the worst US Presidents in the history of the nation, many things he said and did were instructions from elites to make people more sympathetic to the left. Since the 2000s, the US has begun deliberately making anyone who leans right sound stupid in the media to get people to trust leftists more. Its the same tactics that were performed AGAINST leftists until the 2000s, tbh.
9 likesDid Donna Brazile not crack the whole Bernie thing wide open? Was she proven wrong at some point? The podesta emails also implied he was never going to make it to the end.
14 likesPersonally I always got the impression Bernie was 'scripted' to step down and direct his userbase over to Hillary, whose election was part of some rapidly accelerated NWO plan. Trump on the other hand was "not part of the simulation", so to speak, and as a result his candidacy was never taken seriously even at zero hour of the ballot, and his chances were downplayed against all evidence or statistics to the contrary.
As for Bushisms, I was thinking more of stuff like "Fool me once, fool me ... well you won't fool me twice", those kinds of idioms.
Oh no. Tantrum Trump, Comrade Bernie, or Lizard Queen Hillary, the elites were good with ANY of them taking office. Its just who the elites trusted the most, which happened to be Trump. Let's face it; 8 years of Obombya followed by 8 years of Lizard Queen and people would have noticed something.
7 likesIts Libertarians who the elites want to make as uncomfortable as possible, as they knowingly understand that only the state wins in an election. AnComs (aka Marxists) understand this too, but aren't as supportive of free markets as Libertarians. So the elites aren't worried about them.

9 likesAntiform: Where are you getting your information from? Because I’ve heard that this extreme degree of separation where children are held in cages is a very recent policy of the Trump administration (which was announced in April actually). After doing some research, it seems that the Obama administration was heavily criticised for detaining families for a period - I found nothing about him splitting up families though.

0 likesI just feel the need to get this out there. I'm not going to pretend that I know what's best, but I'm going to say what I think the best plan of action is for cancel culture, and how it's used in relation to that. For one, I think cancel culture should exist. Say what you will, but it's ultimately necessary to keep a healthy balance on what content is socially acceptable and what isn't. Now, that mostly regards the present, but history being dug up, if verified and deemed unfavorable to an extreme degree, I think it should still count. Blackface? Borderline sexual assault? Political Bashing? Each of those instances could be deemed forgivable on their own and considered separately, but this has been a practically constant stream of bad and offensive content, and while I won't get into it here, I also think society has grown a bit of a thin skin when it comes to being offended. Jokes that legitimately discriminate against and affect a demographic are what should be deemed offensive, in my mind. When you personally disagree with an opinion or give your own, I adopt the ideology that it should only be offensive when it threatens or begins to affect you in a real way for reasons other than your capability to respect the human ability to have an opinion that conflicts with your own. Kimmel is a good example of this, as he reinforces sexist humor, politically skews the audience with no regard to how impressionable they are on the other side of the screen, and performs the very definition of racist comedy, which only serves to further the modern strain on the relationship between black and white Americans, and all of these collectively reinforce radically unacceptable behavior in the rest of the country. Cancel culture shouldn't be used to get rid of someone who disagrees with you for that purpose, it should be used to get rid of people who are legitimately offensive to the point of affecting you in a real way that stems from something other than your intolerance of an opinion separated from your own. If anyone feels the need to add to this, by all means, feel welcome to. This is just what I see as the best way to use cancel culture as a tool instead of a weapon moving forward. To the reader, have a good day/night.

0 likes@Quantum Physics "Cancel culture should exist to some degree".
0 likesI used to think like this too back in 2016 when YouTube drama was at its peak. But it's precisely because of this thinking that it's escalated so fucking much over the years.
We used to cover vegan gains calling someone stupid over the internet, now we're covering racism and rape. No, cancel culture was a mistake. The legal system exists for a reason, it may have flaws, but it's designed to be fair, there is a due process.
The reason why cancel culture is flawed is because it operates on guilty until proven innocent. Anyone can say anything about anyone else, and the general public because judge, jury and executioner.
Sure, maybe Kimmel deserved it. But where does it stop? YouTubers? Instagram influencers? Reddit mods? Until recently, I've seen regular-ass people get cancelled on Twitter. People who work a 9-5 and have zero support from any kind fans, because they're just regular people. It only hurts the people who can't get back up after falling. Whereas Jimmy? Where is he now? His reputation is somewhat tarnished, but how about that guy I knew? He's 23 years old and his job opportunities were revoked, they didn't want him anymore (employers check your social media now), his new girlfriend is now his new ex, and several of his friends have seenzoned him. What did he get cancelled for? His previous girlfriend called him a sexual offender because he was pushy about sex one time.
Cancel culture is toxic, it doesn't even work on the targets it was meant to take down. The only successful times cancel culture worked I guess was I'm the smash Bros community a few months ago, but there were casualties there as well. A guy and a girl were both black out drunk and she accused him of rape.
@MsDestroyer900 I'm sincerely sorry what happened to those people you mentioned who were falsely accused of heinous criminal acts. However, that's not what I mean when I say that cancel culture should exist. As previously implied, it should be based off of things that have actually happened and have proof behind them, such as with Jimmy Kimmel and the bits I mentioned that are less comedic than they are outright negatively polarizing. I've never supported false accusations, especially in a manner that abuses the fact that women who falsely accuse men of rape can ruin their lives with the connotation of that crime even if those same men are proven innocent. That's not what I see as cancel culture. What I see it to be is that nothing illegal was done, but it still, within reason, needs to be monitored. Take the bit about Jimmy with blackface. That was not illegal by any means, there is no law prohibiting that, and the same could be said about the bit about women feeling his pants and the obnoxious political dissemination. There definitely is something wrong with false criminal accusations, especially those of a sexual or predatory nature towards a man, because these cases, even though false, can permanently stunt their ability to provide for themselves and those they care about. It can tear apart families, homes, and could even cause suicide to be considered as an appropriate response. Once again, I'm truly sorry about what happened to those people you know and see casually tossed aside and shunned by society, but what happened to them isn't based in cancel culture as I see it, rather, a gross misuse of Judicial bias and lack of coping mechanisms won out against logical reasoning. To answer another question you posed, I think it should stop at what happens on television or the internet. What happens in the physical world and actually affects or threatens us nearly always has proof behind it and can be made into a case in the court of law, and unfortunately, that system is corrupt, too, but since there is already a working legal system for it, there's no need. If a man was a proven rapist, cereal killer, thief, arsonist, etcetera, he needs no attention from cancel culture as there are prohibitions on that in the legal system and he will be tried in court for those crimes. And people need to stop being so paranoid about individuals accused of criminal actions that were never committed due to stigma. If this weren't an issue, that person you know who was blackballed out of financial opportunities and left in societal dust wouldn't be where he is today. I think my claim before still stands, but may still, despite the large effort put into it, be a tad less specific than it needed to be, and also that the legal system needs a lot of work, as well as the impact made onto people who get involved with it on no grounds. I hope that person can eventually turn their life around again, and that this court system we have can be relieved of the vast majority, if not all, of its problems that cause this type of negative influence. And, as a side note, have a good day/night.
0 likes@MsDestroyer900 I can't change your mind, so I'm going to opt to agree and disagree. Also, I don't think you understood what I meant by 'fake accusation.' I meant false, as in they were claimed but untrue. I wasn't saying that they were never claimed, just that they had no evidence to actual rape happening. And on the topic of the nuance of the legal system, my father was assaulted out of nowhere on his own property when I used to live in Pell Lake, Wisconsin. The man was selling his dead child's prescription morphine he'd been refilling somehow for over a year, and was a child rapist and registered sex offender. The police proceeded to threaten my father, who was the victim of assault and chose to perform self-defense by pinning him to the ground for about five minutes until his wife could call the police in order to prevent his own injury and that of his family or pets, with legal action. The system is corrupt, and there's no two ways about it. Are there good police? Yes. Is the legal system effective where it needs to be? Mostly. Does it get it wrong a lot of the time? Absolutely.

0 likesYou don’t hear it said enough but people on the far left dont like liberals either. We usually get grouped together but many liberal policies and talking points are infuriating to leftists and Kimmel represents everything wrong with liberalism perfectly. Leftists and liberals may have some overlap by being left of center but very little beyond the surface level. I feel like people assume you need to be centrist or right wing to hate liberals but absolutely not.
14 likesMany left leaning people with actual sound political ideas see that bashing trump indiscriminately, worshiping Democrats indiscriminately and hypocritical virtue signaling is all poisonous. They often agree that the NRA sucks but do believe gun ownership is a valuable right, and that the gun violence situation is over simplified.
Leftists are a strong believer in social justice, discourse on racial, gender and sexual inequality and history and support Black Lives Matter. because they believe these ideas and actions are sound, logical and justified as a response to well documented, verifiable and severe oppression from both social, legal and government levels. (Remember that police ARE the government corruption and as a people we have every right and duty to point out tyrannical corruption and abuse).
Many leftists are socialist leaning and believe higher taxes in some areas of government are actually good for the country, such as medicine, education and infrastructure.
but regardless, leftists despise liberalism as a political group. Who only support things like BLM and surface level woke talking points because it’s popular to do so

Yeah. The problem is that people want to take the easy way of thinking and label everything left/right when judging anything on the left/right political spectrum is basically useless. It's the easy way of thinking about things unlike the hard nuanced way that requires more effort and discomfort.
0 likesPeople follow all sorts of different ideologies/worldviews/value systems/whatever you want to call them, that are often completely opposed to things others of the same 'side' wants.
It's like when trying to put Nazi Germany onto the left/right spectrum, a completely pointless exercise that actually makes no sense.
I was looking for a comment that addressed the equating tankies to a typical American liberal, as is done in this video, and this is the closest I've found so far. Crazy how the creator takes the worst of what gets lumped into the left (tankies) and uses it to paint with a wide brush over the entirety of the rest of the spectrum up to conservatives. So crazy. And crazy how their right-wing views seem not so bad when followed directly after. Definitely not manipulative like Kimmel or anything.
2 likesI could not agree with you more about not hearing it enough that leftists don't like liberals. You don't hear it enough but leftists are not tankies either, unlike what this video makes it seem like.

0 likesEmp was wrong to associate all this behaviour with all liberals.
6 likesEconomic right liberals (or neolibs) are often those voted into presidencies, senatorial seats and as representatives, but they often promise and fail to deliver change, this leads modern liberals, especially in younyer demographics (on the younger side of the millennial generation and the older side of gen z) to believe that their candidate will make changes not just socially but also economically. These promises are often empty, even though there are several policies which could be enacted overnight like student loan forgiveness. What's infuriating as a lib is that Democrats in power do nothing with it while Republicans in power try to tear down whatever they can while in power, Texas recently did this by overturning Roe v. Wade.
Liberals in power are just as corrupt as Republicans in power in the long run, revolving door lobbyists, nepotism, radicalization and insider trading is practiced by both parties, but despite that it only ever seems to lead to more modern liberal criticism and "liberal infighting" instead of party reform, this is why Bernie Sanders was snubbed in the last two elections, he is economically left compared to his fellow senators.
Despite this massive problem with the Democratic side of our system, the Republican side is objectively worse. They restrict civil liberties, cut safety nets, reduce welfare benefits, and give taxbreaks to their millionaire friends, yet they somehow have managed to convince the majority of their base that only 1 news channel and 16 talking heads on youtube tell the truth, leading to more and more radicalism.

@benz merc I concur. Hopefully we as a country can realize that demonizing people who have different political beliefs isn't effective and keeps us stagnant when there are bigger issues to be held. I do think your idea could be made into an essay or even a book though. It's very interesting.

Nobody saves money, nobody wants to communicate without technology, anymore, nobody is willing to exchange immediate satisfaction for delayed long term satisfaction.
Quantitative easing, credits, cheap materials, abandonment of spirituality and the embracement of Nihilism, are signs of societal collapse, which is no longer financially, morally and spiritually sustainable.

@Peter Carioscia and which democratic values do you see in Trump?
0 likes@Daniel Kemp none, I believe i said he represents democrat values more than current crop of democrats Candidates (sorry, I can't check atm, I'm on mobile.) The Dem candidates have gone so extreme has to only represent the far Fringe extreme.
0 likesTo be fair, I should have said Trump represents moderate democrat values far better than current Dem Candidates. Because frankly Trumps values are far more center (albeit center right) than any Dem Candidate, besides Tulsi, who frankly doesn't have a chance of getting the nomination.
@Peter Carioscia what political compass are you using to judge this? Compared to the rest of the world, and even much of past American politics, several democratic candidates are not extreme in the least.
3 likesAgain: what values/policies does Trump have that represent moderate Dem values?
I'm not a Trump supporter, but the simple truth that most Trump supporters and opponents fail to realize is that Trump has a love-hate relationship with the media. They love him for the ratings he never fails to bring. I'd argue the media, despite their coverage being less than fawning in nature, were actually crucial in Trump's election due to the sheer amount of coverage. However, the media hates how Trump, despite being so outwardly uncouth and reprehensible, at the end of the day pushes a similar policy agenda to them and the rest of the political (corporate) establishment, albeit with a much less PR friendly face. By playing as though they are "against him," the media and the liberal establishment can superficially distance themselves from an evil policy consensus (austerity, endless war, corporate control) they themselves have been supporting for a long time now.
1 like@Peter Carioscia if you think Tulsi represents the "center" of the Dem party, you are in dire need of a poli sci course. She literally supports M4A, is openly anti-imperialist, and resigned as vice chair of the DNC to support Bernie. All the people you likely rally against (Schumer, Pelosi, Durbin, etc) are the centrists/right wingers. Hint: appeals to identity politics don't make someone left wing. In fact it's usually a way to conceal right wing policy (look at the whole "Bernie Bros" thing)

You sit around arguing about bathrooms like it fucking matters while you've been bled dry by massive corporations and their puppets on both parties for the past 50 years. You've been lied to so that you think there's two sides on two extremes, when really, on the mainstream anyways, all you have is the pro-corporate party and the controlled opposition pro-corporate party. Wait until you realize that CNN and Fox News, despite being "two ends of the spectrum," both support endless wars, corporate dominance, austerity, and capital in pretty much every way. Everything that matters, that affects our lives, comes down to the economy and the so-called "left" (Democrats and liberals) and right are both in almost total agreement. Don't let them distract you with stupid cultural ideology.
1 like@Flames The Phoenix I also said Trump is closer to representing moderate Dems than any of the Dem Candidates because they are so far off to the fringes, and i can't name a single policy position of Trump's thats Actually a Leftist position, but they're considerably more moderate than how far left the Dems have gone.

0 likesIf you think the Democrats are left wing you are fooling yourself and are in serious need of a basic poli sci class. Clinton ended the welfare state and Obama was an immigration and foreign policy hawk. Even the Affordable Care Act is an essentially conservative policy that would likely have been proposed and passed by a GOP McCain government under a different name. Republicans needed something to rally against, so they spent years convincing themselves that a very conservative insurance mandate plan was "socialist" only to find they couldn't come up with anything better in 2017. When it comes down to it, Dems and Reps are both fairly right wing corporate liberal parties who are only really distinguished by their opinion on gay people, Muslims, and abortions, issues that corporations are incidentally inclined not to give a shit about.
@Daniel Kemp so you obviously aren't paying any attention. the ALL raised their hand for giving healthcare to illegal Immigrants. Right there they are too far gone. Bernie is a self-confessed socialist, Biden presents as a moderate but he's playing the Identitarian when he's in front of the right crowd (also outright lies about his involvement in Civil rights protests, trying to match Bernie who was very much involved).
1 likeWarren AND Sanders are pushing hard for Medicare for all (socialized health care).

I could keep going back i doubt you'll even see this and I've made enough points.
@Peter Carioscia and you failed to answer my question. What political compass are you using to judge this? Going by pretty much all of modern politics outside of the last 3 decades in the US exclusively, none of the candidates are extremely far left. Bernie would be a bit left of moderate in most European countries and (mostly) a moderate in 40s and 50s America, outside of social issues that are pretty pointless to compare with the past.
3 likes@Peter Carioscia I can't even attempt to have a serious conversation with you if you unironically think Joe Biden is a "social Marxist," a Marxist of any sort, or really anything other than a strong proponent of capitalism. Stop locking yourself in an echo chambers and letting yourself be distracted by meaningless social issues. Go outside, talk to some actual, self-described Marxists and socialists. You'll find none of us support Joe Biden, and we're probably more likely to support Tulsi over anyone besides Bernie (and most of us dont even consider Bernie to be a Marxist or a "real socialist"). Long story short, "open border identarians" have nothing to socialism or Marxism, corporate Democrats definitely have nothing to do with Marxism, and you'd do well to do some research before you call people who stand and clap when Trump says "America will never be socialist" Marxists.
1 likeP.S. Marxism isn't some nebulous social ideology supporting gay rights and immigrants, anyone can support that stuff (which is why corporate candidates "play radical" by only focusing on those issues). Marxism is a developed and specific critique of capitalism which advocates for the popular overthrow thereof, and advocates other things such as mass democracy and worker ownership over the means of production. If someone supports capitalism in any way (i.e. is corporate and espouses pro-corporate policies), they BY DEFINITION cannot be Marxist. You seem like you're pretty sure that you're right, but I implore you, PLEASE, if nothing else, look up the definitions of these words you're using before using them. Maybe watch a couple videos from unbiased sources explaining these terms. You dont have to agree with any given ideology, but you should at least try to understand what it is you're talking about.
@Peter Carioscia I'll just add on that Bloomberg is the definition of a capitalist. Like literally, he owns capital and grows rich off of it. That's what being a capitalist is, by definition. He's a pretty big capitalist too with billions under his belt and the ability to essentially buy relevance in a supposedly democratic contest. If you think he supports socialism, I have to ask you what you think socialism means and what you think Bloomberg actually stands for, because I think you might be gravely mistaken as to both.

I for example am more of a Social Liberal because I believe that people should be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin , gender, or sexuality. On the other hand I lean more Conservative when it comes to foreign policy and the economy.

As for the KKK, they were started by the Dems as a way to destabilize race relations, while also implementing Jim Crow laws. The FBI spied on Trump for Obama after he left office, they’re a left leaning entity, the CIA is no better. Either way both sides have used the CIA and FBI for shady shit, so it’s a pointless point to make. We don’t want history being torn down, especially when it’s democrat history they’re not too proud of.

They’re not entirely trying to get rid of and replace the police, they’re just trying to remold them into a tool to be used against the public, like the FBI already are. The Nazis hated competition, socialism in all of it’s forms has been used to seize power. The Soviet Union was competition, Hitler wasn’t going to allow there to be another mad man like himself trying to take over the world.

2 likesConan O’Brien comes up with original material, unlike most talk show hosts. I think many of his skits are very funny, like the ones with Kevin hart and ice cube. He is much better because he does not really talk about politics. When you start getting political it get less funny, and you might lose lots of viewers. This is why Jimmy kimmel, Stephen Colbert, and more are so terrible and not funny. These hosts are all super liberal, but it doesn’t matter which side you argue, you should try to avoid politics on a talk show.

0 likesas for fully automatic being banned, if it is already banned besides for special backgrounds then that was my mistake. but i still stand beside my claims.
@Dyck Hurtz Change nothing? Alright. Show me credible stats. Also, the founding fathers were okay with their original constitution being changed to fit recent times. They would probably be okay with us changing the second amendment to fit today. If you actually read the second amendment, you'd see that it has not aged well. It was written in case of a militia being needed due to the USA being newborn at the time. As years go by the need for a militia depleted.
2 likesThat was the sole cause of having guns. And while I think it's okay to own guns, they are weapons and common sense gun laws need to be put in place. You don't want to put guns in the hands of a distraught teen who has a history of violence and a high risk of committing a shooting.

1 likearound the 16:00 minute mark when it is said that sexual assault is only a problem among the "higher-ups" in society is just plain false. Sexual assault happens to an alarming amount of women, and most often by people they trust closely. In fact, sexual assault done by people with societal power (celebrities and super rich people) probably only accounts for easily less than 25% of all assaults that happen. Tbh it's pretty ignorant to claim/think that sexual assault isn't a problem in "regular society", like obviously it probably happens at a higher rate because there are a lot more men who hold a large amount of power over other peoples' lives and thus those men can abuse that power easier, but the population of the world is 7 billion and there's no way that even 1% of the people on this earth fall under the previously mentioned category.

13 likes@mater tua Sure what would you like to know exactly?
8 likes@JGHifiversveiws Do you want to replace or disband the new government? People normally think that anarchists want there to be no government, but in my experience, that's not entirely true. What's your opinion on the president and the Republican and Democratic parties? Do you have an opinion on feminism and BLM? I dunno, stuff like that. I was just interested, because I'm not all that familiar with anarchism.
13 likes@mater tua I identify as a social anarchist and i'm sure there are more people on the internet who can do this topic more justice than I can but essentially, because I don't particularly identify with either of the schools of anarchism that fall under the umbrella of social anarchism but like most anarchists I believe in eliminating social stratification, class structures, and other forms of unjustified hierarchies but I don't think eliminating wage labor or the state in general is the best way to go about doing that with that being said I do think that the capitalist mode of ownership of the means of production is inherently flawed and I'm also opposed to the tyrannical profit motive especially when it corrupts moral actions. I could elaborate on that point a little bit more if you want? I'm not opposed to working with the government we have now, and that isn't to say I advocate for this system I actually really dislike it, mostly because it prioritizes the state, its affairs, and its "representatives", over the needs of its citizenry, the minimal transparency and oversight on behalf of that government and its faculties, the overall lack of political agency held by citizens outside the two parties, and the inherently convoluted nature of republican politics makes it all a massive headache to engage with especially for your average citizen. So no I don't advocate for this system at all. I'm not much of a fan of Trump or Biden but luckily for me I don't participate in presidential elections anyway, when it comes to local elections however I do tend to vote democrat. I actually participated in a BLM rally not too long ago, I'm also not much of a fan of modern feminism but maybe that's because I participate more so in the internet "manosphere" these days so there's that as well.
35 likes@JGHifiversveiws Ok, interesting. I agree with you on many points, though I don't consider myself a socialist, communist, anarchist, etc. I would also like to add that though I dislike a lot of the people that call themselves feminists, I still consider myself a feminist. My mum's a feminist and a social worker, and my dad's very vocal about both Native American issues (as he is a Native American) and black issues. I think that the less one understands an issue, the more they're likely to be aggressive about their views, and uninformed, unreasonable people are ever-present on both sides. It was interesting to hear your thoughts on the matter, as I am unfamiliar with anarchism. I can't think of any more questions, so good day.

He was just saying that, in general, he worked in an industry with (and interviews) some people who have done questionable things, but then goes on to immediately complain about that specific issue with trump while he is surrounded with it in his work.

The carousel just goes on and on.
0 likesIt’s sad because I used to love Colbert, but Trump definitely ruined him and a lot of other political “commentators.” It’s so tiring hearing Trump every time you turn on one of these shows.

0 likesIt's pretty sad how politics is handled today, especially considering I don't think these extremists represent the average American at all. Most everyone in the comments whether they consider themselves liberal or conservative seem to have a pretty level head on their shoulders and are closer to the center than most media outlets would like you to think. There's this "us vs them" mentality that paints the opposing party as your enemies. How can anything ever get done or anyone ever come to a compromise when you see your fellow American as an enemy rather than another citizen just like you? We don't all have to agree and we never will, but that was never the point in the first place, and trying to bully and harass people into agreeing or being quiet is wrong in so many ways.

1 likeWe already know what the radical right does (though media always bashes them, at this point people use "far right" and "spawn of satan" interchangeably).
I am slightly more left leaning, but a lack of discussion is so hurtful for politics. People don't think anymore, it's just always "my idea is good, therefore yours is bad. Every little disagreement with my idea means that you are evil." You have the far left advocating for "equality', while the far right advocates for "freedom."
I'm not saying "let's all just get along," I'm just saying "let's not let ourselves get trapped in echo chambers and confirmation bias."
I'm sure this is an unpopular opinion and am happy to receive criticism. All for the better. Please directly engage with what I said, though. If you want to bash me, show me why I am wrong, please. I want to be shown. I want to hear what you people think. I'm just very sad that everybody seems to have already decided on a fixed side. There is a SPECTRUM. Just because I lean left a bit, doesn't mean I think every policy the liberals implement is good. In fact, I agree with conservatives more than liberals sometimes. Everybody seems to be stuck in a "my side is the best" mania that has made all sane people scared to say anything in fear of getting cancelled.
Anyways, I think extremism is irrational, but that doesn't mean we should discount the people's opinions. There is a fundamental idea that may be valid, and is the reason they support something. Discussion is what is needed, civilized discussion. Could we please have debates instead of yelling matches? Debates where you actually consider the other side and try to prove them wrong instead of repeatedly and forcefully restating your own ideas?

382 likes@Outlaw Donut Hi i would like to know your opinion on the current state of the left. What do you agree and not agree with.
104 likesThanks,
-From a curious person on the opposite side of the spectrum
@Aiden Hey there fellow stranger! I'd be glad to respond to your question.
193 likesFirstly, I would like to preface this with the history of the state of the left. In the broader span of leftism, I think it's currently in its strongest state than it has been in the past century. Around the beginning of the 20th Century, unions led by socialists were pushed and therefore granted a lot of labor rights for workers. Eventually, corporations began to push back as well, which included banning strikes and unions, and hiring police to kill protesters that wanted higher wages. Eventually we outlawed that, thankfully, but comparing the state of socialist ideals and acceptance to a century ago, people are far more open to them. Post Soviet Russia, the United States was very unwilling and shut off to leftist ideas as the Red Scare had propagandized many to be afraid of communism, which led to to the broad public opinion that leftism as a whole is equivalent to Stalin's rule of the USSR, which is completely untrue obviously. I personally am an anarchist, which essentially means I am for abolishing all unjust hierarchy, which means I am a firm believer in trade unions, worker's rights, and social and economic rights. I am a firm leftist in most areas, including some controversial topics, such as abortion rights, guaranteed medical coverage for every U.S. citizen, against partisan lobbying and gerrymandering, and in general wanting a more progressive and accepting society. However, I am a firm believer in the 2nd amendment. Obviously I want more firearm regulation, but I believe completely outlawing them is not the solution. I do not identify as a social justice warrior or a feminist, as that term has been hijacked by Liberals and has been poisoned by people who think they know what they're talking about, when in reality, these types of people actually tend to land in the center of the political spectrum, and are not leftists, Marxists, or anything aligning with such ideology.
So in general, leftism as an ideology among our society I believe is in a resurgence, while leftism as in policy and congressional action, as well as socially, has taken a huge hit, especially when the Trump administration took over the reigns of the oval office. In turn, this creates a stronger movement of solidarity and support as people are beginning to realize why these leftist ideas are being generally suppressed in our current federal government. People in general have become more anti-corporation and more pro-worker. Donald Trump has highlighted just how huge bigoted, hateful groups in the United States have become, I believe shown most in the Charlottesville/Unite the Right rally. In general, things have become much more polarized over the past couple of decades. And while I'm not saying that the right is all that is bad and the left is all that is good, most social conveniences and rights have been granted through the endless fighting of social and leftist movements such as the Civil Rights Movement, led by famous socialist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. I recommend watching a video by Shaun, titled "The Fate of the Frog Men," in which he details how Trump manipulated a lot of white supremacists to get to where he is, and how he has abandoned them. It's a good explanation of the POTUS's rise to power, and what we can learn from it.
The left has only gotten stronger, but in return the right has also gotten stronger. Which one will come out on top is only a matter of time, as political affairs will only become more and more controversial, and people will begin to realize what is going on around them, and they will be mad. Trust me, they will be mad. Whether they go the path of radical leftism, where people believe that capitalism, the erosion of worker rights, and corporations are the main cause of a lot of societal problems, or they go the route of the radical right where the issue is LGBT people, minorities, or immigrants ruining western culture, is only up to those advocating for them, and how sound their arguments are, however rational or irrational they may be.
One thing is for sure though; big things will come in the next few years, and it will not be pretty.
@Outlaw Donut thank you for your input, interesting analysation. How about the ideas that many so called radical leftists hold, such as the theory of white privilege, hate speech laws, and many more mainstream ideas that have been pushed in recent years. Are you in favor of any of those? What opinions do you hold of groups such as Antifa and the like.
79 likes@t e o h Thanks for the reply! I'd like to get started on this one because this will be hefty.
124 likesFirstly, I'd like to touch on white privilege.
There are a lot of misconceptions about white privilege. I am not in favor of violence against those of white skin, or any skin for that matter. That is simply a hate crime. What me and a lot of leftists are promoting is the idea that institutional barriers exist that are not visible to most observers, but most people of color experience, knowingly or not. There is no law that states that people of color are inferior and should be treated as such. Rather, there are very minute advantages that whites have over colored people, and compounded, this begins to build up, which systemically makes life for those of color, in general, to be much more difficult. Over policing in black neighborhoods tend to lead to more crime being found, drugs being planted to meet arrest quotas, and more. This leads to a loss of fathers especially in black communities. This can lead to youth issues, such as a single-parent household that can barely make ends meet, which actively hurts a child and their future mental and financial stability, making them stay poor. This poverty is in near direct correlation with the rise of violence, which is born out of the poverty which is perpetuated in these neighborhoods. The violence leads to more crime, which leads to more over policing, and the cycle starts over. This vicious cycle is what has held back minority communities for so long. It is sometimes prevalent in white neighborhoods, I will not deny that, but they are much more common in minority neighborhoods and cities. Not to mention the prison-industrial complex, and the treatment of inmates in this country, whose prisons focus on punishment and not rehabilitation. This leads to a higher rate of recidivism, which then further perpetuates the prison-industrial complex, which is incentivized to imprison as many people as possible. This is an issue that almost exclusively destroys communities of non-white citizens. It is, however, a problem that does affect all of us.
Secondly, hate speech laws
This is a very scary line for me. On one hand, I am very much in favor of free speech. I believe it is one of our most powerful abilities as human beings; to speak and trade ideas freely with no intervention, which leads to innovation and progress. However, I also recognize that in order for free speech to exist, we must suppress speech that actively harms free speech. It's sort of a paradox. True free speech is self-destructive, while some speech must be regulated in order for free speech to exist. Without regulation, one can manipulate free speech and use it for harmful agendas. They can use free speech to destroy free speech. It's a very complicated subject that I personally believe am not educated enough to take a solid take on, but if we're discussing free speech laws that ban overt harassment or hatred, I'm for it anyday now. I personally believe hateful speech is all a matter of context. For example, I genuinely don't think a white person saying the n-word is racist. If it is used to demean someone or is used in negative light, then obviously there will be issues, but it is completely about context here that matters. Calling your buddy the n-word, and them being completely fine with it, is not racist.
Thirdly, and finally, the Anti-Fascist Action movement
Being an anarchist, these people are in my political quadrant. At first, I did not approve of them. In fact, I denounced them altogether. And, even though I have not radicalized myself, so to speak, even further than when I used to believe this, I actually believe that they are not harmful.
Let me explain, because I know this might sound irrational to most people who have seen a couple dozen videos of antifa 'members' attacking people with fists or bats, which gives off a very bad impression.
I know there's a very famous quote saying that the anti-fascists are the real fascists, or the fake Winston Churchill quote of "The fascists of the future will call themselves antifascists." However, there's a very good Philosophy Tube video on Antifa philosophy that I recommend you check out, because it perfectly describes my opinion of Antifa.
But if you want a more stats-based view on Antifa, out of the 50 politically-extremist murders in the United States that occurred in 2018, the overwhelming majority were perpetrated by radical white supremacists, tolling in at 78%. Including other right wing motivated murders, that number jumps to a whopping 98%. The other two percent is from Domestic Islamist Extremism.
Which essentially means 0% were from leftist organizations.
And if you don't want to look at a single year and take a leap of faith with that and assume all is good with the left, a report by the ADL shows that the crushing majority of domestic terrorism in the United States between 2008-2017 were committed by right wing terrorist groups, with a very small minority composed of left wing and Islamist groups.
There are obviously outliers. Antifa, as it is not a solid organization or group, but rather a rag-tag group of anarchist individuals, can have some bad apples here and there. But painting the entire ideology as such is, I believe, intellectually dishonest and harmful to the public discourse.
I hope this answers all your questions! I appreciate the open-mindedness discussion that you are perpetuating here. I don't get that too often from those on the opposite side of the political spectrum, so it's a very appreciated breath of fresh air :D

12 likes@Outlaw Donut thanks for taking the time to answer, and although we may disagree, I'm glad there are still rational people on the opposing side. I personally am very afraid of these people, espicially those consumed by race. I'm not white, but my boyfriend is (yes I'm gay). I believe the way many progressives push for the whole anti-white thing is damaging their movement more than it helps and it scares alot of white people. I'm also not really in favor of the LGBT movement as it currently stands, they've become more of glorified fetish orgy, I just don't feel represented by them. I say I'm from the opposing side because the events that have taken place over the past 3 years has pushed me and many others further away from the recent spike in progressive ideals. I agree that both sides will always have hyper radicals. And I'm sure antifa have people who have good intentions, but I guess calling anyone a fascist is kinda counter productive. I was called on not to long ago for agreeing with stances people deem "fascist".
102 likesI'm in many so called "right wing" groups, and conservative groups, but I've never felt like an outcast and they treat me well, so I guess it really changed my opinion since the media really likes to target alot of these groups. In the end, I believe both sides have something to bring to the table, that's why I always push for balance in politics. So I always come in open minded. Thanks for taking the time to answer, I always ask people with different opinions and the same opinions as I do on why they believe the way they do. Thanks again.
I would also just like to add that I know that not everyone is anti-white, but they are the loudest voice at times. So I guess it's become very difficult to not be afraid. My boyfriend is apolitical, he hasn't been exposed to any of this until recent and he always asks me what's wrong with being white. There were people on Twitter getting mad at some people for making their characters black in animal crossing. It's really stupid. But it really changed how people view the movement. So I guess it's been very hard to find reason in the progressive movement recently.
62 likes@Aiden Yeah, I agree. Most progressives I know denounce those who hate on white people, because hating a huge majority of the population isn't progressive; it's regressive. Yeah, in the United States, those of lighter skin tend to have a higher quality of life than most minorities (note I say most, not all), but that doesn't mean race is the problem. Rather, it is the issue of historical oppression that whites today have nothing to do with. It's a shame that your significant other has had to experience that part of politics, because I know firsthand that it is very toxic and not good for public discourse. I hope all is well, and I'm glad that you're making an effort to educate yourself, no matter where you land in the political spectrum.

@Nathan Levesque hate speech laws is an infringement on freedom of speech. Who is regulating what is hateful? Theoretically it's not a bad idea ,but when put into action it can prove deadly. Plus stopping people from saying certain words doesn't end racism, bigotry , xenophobia. It just doesn't
31 likes@Aiden It's no more an infringement than any other law against incitement or threats. If you think that 'hate speech' simply means 'hateful speech' then you don't know what hate speech laws are. All they do is ensure that people can't circumvent laws against inciting or threatening violence by being slightly less than completely overt about it.

16 likes@BananaPhoPhilly Aw thanks man. If you're not trolling, I really appreciate it.
21 likesPersonally I'd love to be a content creator, but I have several reasons why I am not one and why I probably won't be for a while, if not ever. I think it mostly stems from insecurity about my age. I feel as if most people will brush off my views as very misinformed or ignorant solely due to my age. I'm relatively young and I feel as if it would be a bad rep for Breadtube, since some people would see it as YouTube "brainwashing" younger people to perpetuate their "dangerous liberal" ideas, whatever that means. Secondly, it's a very risky move to spend time on YouTube at my current age. I'm investing most of my time into passion projects and school, most notably focusing on agricultural courses and careers, as well as computer engineering and Astronomy. I'd love to work in agriculture-based work fields and would probably love to start my own worker-owned cooperative one day. YouTube is just currently too volatile a platform to make a living off of, and I feel that I would not be able to handle the stress if I even had the slimmest chance of being a successful content creator. And I think the last point is that I don't think that I would have anything new to bring to the table. Many notable BreadTubers like Contrapoints, Three Arrows, Vaush, Xanderhal, Philosophy Tube, Polidice, NonCompete, and much much more essentially do what I do, but I think much better in a more concise way. I just feel that if I were to be successful, I wouldn't have anything interesting to add to Breadtube, and would rather leave the spotlight for someone else who probably does have better things to say, in a sense.

Be kind. Be better. Do better.
Outlaw Donut, easy kid. When I was in my early 20s I was very much a radical liberal Democrat and in favor of a similar anarchism as to what you described. All that educating of yourself you’ve been doing, I’ve been doing for 20 plus years, I’ve always been very much an outsider who studies from a distance and there’s nothing historically you could go over or viewpoints you could come up with I haven’t entertained or read about. I’m still very much liberal, my statement had to do with being a fervent democrat/republican. Some might say I’m center left, but truth is truth, and I go with that, not political parties who’s interests are always their own power. The political system of the US is what it is, it’s not going to change other than the natural forces that are bigger than any of us. Almost every major narrative that’s a big national story is usually inaccurate to the truth of the event. Humans are deeply flawed and that extends from your personal network, to the general population, to the leadership. I’d love to see all the corporate fat cats and leaders of this country ripped out of power but the second you replaced them with any sort of leadership they’d immediately start to muck it up. That doesn’t mean we aren’t slowly heading toward a better world, mass communication has seen to that, but in the entire history of the world leadership has abused its position to one degree or another. Eventually there may be an infrastructure in place that allows us to finally live without human leadership. In the meantime, my only message no matter if you’re liberal or conservative is let the truth be your guide and don’t get caught up in parties. Btw Qanon is a cult.

0 likesI just wanna add my hat into this. I am also a leftist, and many people in this country seem to have a misconception what the left really is. When people hear the word "leftist", what come into there mind is actully the mainstream media's portrayal of the left, "liberals". Liberals arent leftists. There different. Social justice warriors, anti-white, annoying dumb fucks who cant talk, the mainstream media, your average Democrat, these people are all liberals and not leftists. The media has planted a fake misconception of what the left really is. From personal experience, I used to be reactionary in thought, and I believed that all leftists are annyoing dumb sjws who call everything racist. However, once I talked to real leftists, and watch real leftist shows (not liberal). My mind finally opened up. Most leftists I have talked to are chill people, and are willing to have conversations, (they dont just call you racist and sexist) As this comment thread showed, we have been portrayed poorly. It really makes me sad to see that these liberal late night talk show hosts are causing people to turn away from the left. Real leftists are more focused on policy, Medicare for all, UBI, workplace democracy, freeing non violent drug offenders, legalizing weed etc. These are the real main leftist goals. A good show I recommend is secular talk, which will give you a dose on how a real leftist thinks and acts. Real leftists hate Democrats and the main stream media, they are elitists who dont pander to any progressive policy, all they do is whine about how trump is racist. The furthur left you go, the less people say: Trump bad.

0 likesI'd probably be considered a liberal and do consider myself mostly a liberal in the vein of a traditional progressive mindset; and I agree with more or less all the points set forth in this video. This does genuinely represent some of the biggest problems with the United States. I think a big part of it is in relation to those "liberals" and SJWs who have dropped their traditionally relatively noble ideas in favor of embracing authoritarian and borderline communist, and even racist ideals. I hate that I have to associate with these people who want to control what I can and can't say through 'political correctness' , or whether people can hold differing opinions. While the term 'regressive left' has been over used into Oblivion, I think it's relatively accurate term that shows that these people are going backwards while firmly believing they're going forward. The abundance of masked antifa members behaving like those they were originally meant to counter, the talking heads and celebrities who smugly lie through their teeth, the politicians who play the game and hold no belief beyond money and self preservation just like the way the right (be they Republican Democrat or something else) always had. Those who do have ideals have ravenous radical ideologies that resemble stalinism or something from a psychotic African warlord.

I don't even identify with the Democratic Party anymore, most of the politicians are corrupt opportunists. When I vote, I'll vote as an Independent.
7 likesThese 'SJW' types are a dangerous bunch. They are racist, authoritarian and completely indoctrinated. They are a sizeable minority, and they would disappear if the media would STOP PANDERING TO THEM. Left and Right, the media panders to their views. Everywhere you look, you see articles about "muh cultural appropriation", "muh racist cops", "muh white privilege", "muh Islam", etc.
To be fair, the media also fuels the alt-right with this same kind of rhetoric (especially when they talk about how great it will be when Whites are a minority in 30 years). Thanks to the MSM, you've got people on the left believing that we need to eliminate "cultural appropriation" and "white privilege", and censor "hate speech". We also got people on the right who think we need to create a White-only ethnostate in order to prevent minorities from destroying the lives of the White majority.
If we do not stop fueling the SJW's and the alt-right, there will most certainly be a civil war. Though that may not be a bad thing, people like you and me are in the majority, most will not submit to the alt-right or the SJW's. Maybe it is time for the tree of liberty to be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots once again.

Its hard to argue he's "towing the line" anymore. He's part of the group of talking heads that make the line now, and they've moved that line far from the actions of Kimmels past. The only reason he isn't being held duely accountable is because no one talks about it, since he's in a position to control the flow of information.

Used to watch Cobert too and I'm a Republican, thought it was hilarious mind you. There is a point between making fun of someone or something and just being completely nasty and pushing pure propaganda, they both hit that point with Trump and they became something else. And there's them being condescending too, like in your video in which kimmel basically says "We have to hold ourselves to a higher standard in respect to women so the dirty plebs can go on and harass and rape them everywhere they go" That is projecting if i've ever seen it. The fake moral superiority or piousness they try to project like pompous a holes too. I'm sick of it, everyone's sick of it. People just want to be made to laugh, not lectured.

We've been 'talking about it' for nearly 70 years now and according to the same group of people who still want to 'talk about it' even kids who have grown up recently still are infested with racism.
1 likeSo either their solution didn't work and we need to do something different because they can't fix this by 'talking about it', or it isn't a problem anymore and they don't know what they are talking about so we should let the matter rest.
And if you knew about how people's perception of themselves and how they fit into the world alters how they think and behave, you'd know that constantly saying that nonwhite people are a separate special group is counterproductive to the goal of eliminating white racism.

0 likeshttps://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Electoral_College
If you were wondering which link the qoute is from and thought I was lying about where the qoute came from. You might argue Wikipedia isn't a great source, however their is debate over that issue. Sure you as an average citizen might be able to change the article and make lies, but the experts can reedit the wiki page to put back the truth.
Part of the pros of Wikipedia is that it has the advantages to being more up to date than scholarly books, because anyone can bring information and they can put what they know as truth in it. Plus the use of books take longer to give out info compared to writing on Wikipedia. After all even scholars miss important details as well as spread out dated info that used to be considered "true", but isn't anymore. The cons is that lies can spread from the fact that it can easily be changed at any given moment, however scholars can also edit it as well so lies in article we'll be edited to bring the truth. That isn't always a guarantee though.
You can also verify if what they say is truth by finding links to valid websites in Wikipedia. If they don't bring links in the Wikipedia page it's probably a liar or they do have links and was trying to be honest, but didn't bring enough links for a person to know for certain about weather it's true or false.
Thought Addict I’m not going to bother arguing with you. Just know that while it’s true the electoral college is stupid. Voting is absolutely important, and your vote does matter
0 likes@Sptflcrw Yeah.....Sure........It ain't. It just ain't important at all, because I don't influence what they are voting. They are the ones dictating what the actual votes are. The popular vote is more of a suggestion(even though it's not supposed to be), while the electoral vote is more of the actual votes coming in during politics. They aren't forced to vote for the candidate the people vote for therefore they can vote for someone else. They are the ones dictating who's president not us. Sure they are supposed to vote what the people voted for, but they don't and get away with it. Since electors(or representatives) don't bother representating what the people are voting for they can vote for someone else. The electoral college is where the people indirectly vote for president and the electors are the one who directly vote for the president, but if the electors can vote for someone else the people didn't want doesn't that basically make the "regular people's" indirect vote useless since the electors are the ones giving actual influence? It does. Therefore votes from people who aren't electors don't matter.
0 likesHere's the qoute and link.
"There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their States. ... It is rare for electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate."
https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.archives.gov/electoral-college/electors&ved=2ahUKEwiL9vXeoProAhUUrJ4KHdrUAr4QFjADegQICRAK&usg=AOvVaw3VlNLnoMi_b1eMkZNoY0Yv
Sooo that means it's pointless and a waste of time. I am not giving real contribution in any way shape or form by voting, because I ain't the ones giving the actual votes. Sure it's rare they vote for what the people don't want, but if you read carefully again
"It is rare for electors to disregard the popular vote by casting their electoral vote for someone other than their party's candidate." So they'll most likely vote for whatever candidate that's part of their party. Not vote for who I want.
If a liberal wanted to vote for a Democrat candidate, but if most electors are Republican the electors aren't gonna vote for what the people want. If a conservative wanted to vote for a Republican candidate, but if most electors are Democrat the electors aren't gonna vote for what the people want.
So no person who ain't a elector can have actual influence in presidential elections unless you convince electors to vote for a candidate you want.
Thought Addict stop. Not how that works. Stop being lazy

I mean, yeah, humor has changed, you basically have to change with the times. People used to joke about gay people all the time back in the day, and that type of stuff doesn't really work anymore now that people are more aware that homosexuals are just normal people too. We've left all the racist and misogynistic stuff behind, too, because it's really awkward to try to make fun of, say, black people, when black issues are actually super relevant and important right now.
13 likesYou don't have to miss those jokes anymore, you can just let them die and see people make new material. It's fine, lol. You don't need to hide behind calling it non-pc humor, you can just say you miss the gay jokes and I won't judge you for that. They used to be really funny in 2005, but things have changed a lot since then.
@Dracocrusher It’s a fair point, I should be careful that my criticisms aren’t based on nostalgia and allow for people and the media they create to update as new thinking on social issues emerges, I feel you on that.
8 likesPart of my criticism goes, I think, a level deeper than gay jokes; what I appreciated about that era was the individualism and honesty that came with the “right to offend”, I saw the media figures that espoused it as fighting for something worthy even if I didn’t agree with what they said. Seeing many of them go back on that position in favour of virtue signaling and public shaming for unsavoury opinions makes me feel a bit duped, it’s the realization that most of the media is simply reflecting the culture and not making any statement itself.
It occurs to me that I’m not the first person to realize this, I remember older people at the time joking about how we were being sold individualism off of box store shelves, seems as though they may have had a point.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.
@Zorn's Lemon On the point of individualism, I genuinely think you're not wrong in a sense, but I don't think it's because of progressives or PC culture or something. I genuinely think, as much of a leftist cliche as this is, you can probably attribute a good bit of that to capitalism?
7 likesLike for example, back in the day industries weren't as big. A lot of classic NES titles were just made by like less than 10 people in a room, you'd have films mainly written by like 3-4 people, focus testing wasn't as big, etc. Like you can realistically watch the original Star Wars and attribute the successes of that film to a very specific handful of people who argued against Lucas for changes. And then everything just got way bigger, right? Like how many people worked on the latest Avengers film or on something like Wanda Vision?
And I think that's a bit of a double edged sword because on one hand it means you get way more resources in these industries, something like Monster Hunter World is clearly better made than something like Pong and it'd be impossible for a small indie studio to make a game like that work as well as it does. But it also strips away a lot of authorial intent and personality from a lot of media.
You look at something like The Evil Dead and it's made for basically nothing, there's extras in the shots, tons of things went wrong, etc. and while it's not normal for really good stuff to come from those conditions, it worked super well and those flaws became part of the appeal of the film, like you get a lot more insight into the minds of the people behind it. But then you look at any modern studio film and it's all so generic feeling. Good stuff still comes out, but everyone's having their scripts re-touched by 50 other writers, every studio's using the same type of engines for their CG and those engines are good at the same types of things, and they all have to hit the same set of plot beats with nothing that rocks the boat too hard because nobody wants to waste millions of dollars. Which also means nobody wants to take risks either, everything has to be a sequel because there's too much money involved to risk a flop.
It's all really cold and impersonal and just kind-of bland. I mean, when's the last time you walked out of a big film that got a lot of promotion and really had something to think about and chew on, you know? There's not really anything made to challenge people anymore. I mean, not in big western media at least. Then you check out a new anime and 12 episodes in people are using quantum science to bullshit about the nature of society and humanity and it's like "Oh, fuck, this is just going off somewhere wild! I need to know where the writer's going with this crap!"

You used to be able to joke about 9/11, gay people, etc. And no, not all of those things are inherently racist, homophobic or an attack on minorities. I can say gay people can't drive because they can't think straight, is that homophobic? No, it's a play on words. In Indonesia, we can insult someone's mother and people would realize it's a joke, unless I go on a rant, I could do that and be their friend later, I could say something about darker skinned people, and my darker skinned friend would laugh too and insult my lighter skin, but at the end of the day we'd slap ass and mabar. Of course Indonesia is more strict on the law side, but socially, there's pretty much almost no rules on what we can't and cannot say, unless you're in Jakarta.

1 like@Dracocrusher It's not capitalism, it's communism in the elites. Government bailouts, monopolies, etc. And pretty much it happens when you have something too big that those people expects people would just consume it because brand recognition, in this case because it's Hollywood. Look at Nintendo, a Japanese company, pokemon sword and shield was a giant dissapointment, everything was just bad, storyline, hardness of gameplay, animation, graphics, idea lore, etc. And it's happening in anime/manga too, there are of course good ones, but there's lots of anime and manga that just BS their way in with the usual stuff, like flashy sword fights and nice art, but the story is crap, prime example is demon slayer, it's generic, and not the good kind of generic, it's executed terribly, everyone is 1d, cute fanservice, "emotional" scenes with no build up, everybody has a dead parent and in the end everything is tied up badly, but people like it because oh cool line work, oh cool art and animation. It's not, it's bad.
0 likes@Dracocrusher It's also because of how out of touch Hollywood is, they pander too much on mainstream media, while they ARE mainstream media, it's a positive feedback loop, and eventually they will fail, as long as foreign consumers stop thinking Hollywood is cool. There's so many independent artists in the west today that have talent, but it just needs time for them to be recognized and eventually be mainstream. For example, I think an anime was produced for a comic/manga made by a French author, an anime is being produced for Scott Pilgrim, Smiling friends, etc. and there's also stuff like Arcane, Into the spider verse, The northman, etc.
0 likes@Dracocrusher Also the httyd, toy story and kung-fu panda series are bangers.
0 likes@Dracocrusher It's also an effect of new culture, anime is more popular than ever because it's also a brand new exciting culture.

3 likesSo storytime for any viewers. When the episode where Jimmy Kimmel talks about north Korea I was in the Air Force and that day I had just gone to a briefing about a possible deployment to South Korea. Shit was that hot at the time. I got done with a twelve hour shift and a briefing and went home and showered. I sat at the TV to watch some relaxing cheap comedy show called Jimmy Kimmel live only to be pulled back into the mindset I just left. That night I attempted to take my own life and failed. Jimmy Kimmel was the straw that broke my back. I appreciate emplemon putting into words what I at the time could not.

The "I was" portion has me thinking that you left the military or were kicked out. I hope that's the case, because if listening to a television host talk about current events, especially one that your job revolved around (geopolitics and potential armed conflict) almost causes you to commit suicide, you were not fit for military service. Basic training usually weeds people with a weak mental fortitude out, but some people still manage to squeeze there way through..

It's kind of weird seeing the toxicity of 4chan leak out onto other platforms. Newfrens tend to browse the forums, see the increasing large amount of >be me shitposts, and think seeing those type of posts anywhere afterwards MUST mean that it must be an anon shitposting outside of 4chan. I doubt you'd even read this entire post considering that you had to bash OP with the sneaky "repubtard" at the end of your post, but you gotta learn to not carry such a sense of deniablility in what you read. Not everyone is out to be the "le epic troll who owns u libs with fax n logic".
@That Broke Gamer that's fine. You can think what you want, but you don't get to question my story without me correcting you. My feelings were legit.

So I'd suggest you to delete the comment mentioning your name just to be safe!

@Nahnah 5 yeah,gave me a breather,even though this comment section is kinda old.
0 likes@Rattenhoofd clearly you misunderstood. On a normal day. Under a normal set of circumstances Jimmy Kimmel would mean nothing, but we're not talking about that. We're talking months of stress with no relief coming to a head. Once again it was the feeling of not being able to escape that was the issue. Hence jimmy being the straw that broke my back. I pray you never have that happen to you, because it's an awful and embarrassing feeling.
31 likes@Khairo Aetos I understood perfectly well, I just think it's really unfair and obnoxious to chime in with a suicide-attempt story under a video criticizing Kimmel, and claim the two were in any way related, however distant. I want to clarify I'm not trying to ridicule suicide or mental illness in any way, it just doesn't have anything to do with Kimmel or late night TV in general.
8 likes@Rattenhoofd you're entitled to your perspective as I'm entitled to back myself up when you use such aggressive language for really no good reason. I shared my story, not for likes, not for warm and fuzzy comments, and certainly not to demonize Jimmy Kimmel. I shared my story for the primary reason that watching this video brought back a very uncomfortable memory and one of the things my therapy taught me was to express my feelings instead of bottling it up. I shared my story for me. Although the outpouring of gracious comments means a lot to me even years after the event in question. I still wrote my comment to get the story off my chest. To let loose and be able to reconcile with myself that what I felt at that time was very real even though reliving it was very uncomfortable. I'm sorry that it bothers you, but perhaps you could practice the old golden rule. If you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all.
38 likes@Khairo Aetos I don't doubt that your motive for sharing was sincere, and I really am glad you managed to find a path forward, but there's a time and place for everything. It also seems you and especially the maker of this video aren't at all adhering to this golden rule you're promoting. Let's agree to disagree, I guess.

I don't blame him covering Trump's potential peace talks with North Korea. What I've been trying to say is that doing back to back deployments, going through a divorce, finding out about shit popping off in North Korea, hearing about it at work, going to a briefing about it. Talking about it. Stressing about it. Thinking about it. Then finally trying to escape it at least for a little while only to be reeled back in all with very little time off between broke me. It would've broke me if it had been Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, Colbert, Conan, or anyone. It didn't matter. That's what I've been trying to say. My dislike of Jimmy Kimmel is removed from that.

A lot of these people just say hollow shit like "haha trump bad" but making no real statement past it, just some regurgitated spew and thats all it can be described as. Meanwhile political talkshow done right "the last leg" acknowledges its bias but also makes unique jokes at the expense of things such as the host growing his beard till brexit was done because of the blatant lack of prep the country had for it (he done this from i think 2017 when they expected to leave the eu then and pusehd the date back at least 4 times or so).
0 likesI dont think its wrong to talk about political bias's when you acknowledge your own bias to a wide audience, these well known people who talk about their own perception and opinions need to better clarify that this shouldn't be something you just agree with blindly. Take the other side of things which is fox news (arguably far more dangerous for a political bias), they use a lot of framing of stories and fucker carlsons "opinions" on matters as oppose to more objective stories and push for certain agenda's that align with their lobbying stance. It works to indoctrinate viewers and has a frightening effect on the masses who absorb the political stances from the instinct of "this is my only window into the ongoings of the world so it must be right".
Tl;dr: influential people should be upfront about bias's and its their responsibility to further hammer in the idea that no one should take everything they say as pure fact and should do their own research.

0 likesStix N' Stones comedy in it of itself has rules that separates humor. Humor is what one thinks is funny, which is subjective since everyone has different tastes in jokes. Comedy on the other hand has actual basic things that make it comedic such as a punchline, build-up, puns maybe. Comedy is a lot more than just what you find funny.

3 likes@Mercury the joker pfp makes this so much better. Ok to start, more immigrants are coming because of trump being out of office because he separated families and now they think Biden won’t do that. Yes what having ppl in those facilities are bad but if you’re arguing that trump is better you actually do t care about those immigrants because he eliminated the 72 hour rule that obama made that sent immigrants back after 72 hours. Trunk kept those immigrants way longer and when he did released them he also separated the families as a deterrent. Also trump bombed Iraq and Syria on his first day of office. If we’re comparing Biden waiting a month than trump in a day biden is obviously better but none are good in general. Also trumpets got rid of Obama’s drone strike death counting rule to make sure nobody really knows how much ppl are dying cause of him like Obama also killed ppl but at least he made the information known you can’t even say that about trump

"Gee, all these media and Huge corporations that donate massive ammounts of money to Democrats seem to really not like Orange Man; like those 70 million from Wall Street, another 8 million from Jeff Bezon/Amazon, several other millions from Silicon Valley and perhaps more worryingly, the 50%+ of donations to biden's 2020 campaign that came from donors with undisclosed sources of income. Maybe was I emotionally manipulated into hating a guy whose politics went directly against the interests of the US elites and corporations, so much that I think just anyone becoming president of the US is a laughable Idea so I supported a carreer politician who's nearly half a century in politics and has been nothing in his life except a politician?
But then I remember that I am a liberal. I am so smart. So I was told by the nice lady at the DNC building an people like Jimmy Kimmel. I even have a college degree! I wouldn't fall for such a low trick. I am SO smart!
Besides, everybody knows that Orange man was so bad! SO SO SO Bad that I... Don't even remember why he was so bad.. Don't ask me why he was so bad! It's not my duty to educate you in something i cetainly know everything about it because it was a conclusion I reached for myself, not by a barrage of certainly unbiased media coverage that only ever said he was bad! I am a liberal. Smart. Unbiased. Independent.
So good job, fellow liberals. We voted a literal dictator out of office! With the help of some nice corporations that will make sure we'll never get another president they don't approve of!
We did it, liberals! We saved democracy!

1 like@The Warden of Oz that’s a completely bad faith interpretation of “stop talking about it” you just gave there. Obviously race exists, people can believe it objectively exists and they can address the problem of racism whenever it is present. How does that come off as believing race to be a subjective construct?
0 likes@RollrCoastrBacon 27 that wasn't an interpretation of Morgan's statement at all. Morgan's method involves ignoring it/pretending it isn't a thing that should be addressed while so many do the exact opposite based on how they were taught. I know it's a thing; trouble is, it's simply bad logic. It is an ancient divide and conquer tactic. The only real method against it is to call a spade a spade: true biologically different races do not exist, except in fantasy like LotR and DnD and Warcraft. And ironically, even in those, the humans are always their own race. There is only one race, the human race. Otherwise, race itself is an absolute joke in reality that arrogant humans on every side of the fence push for. They like inwardly to root for their team, when technically everyone is an image bearer with a standard template and skeletal structure and genetic code that hardly deviates save for aesthetics.
2 likesRace = racism. It's bad logic, and everyone who puts their hat in it (most humans) are going to be terribly dissapointed with the garbage ideology that only divided themselves from the beginning.
So that said, I'd love to reach a point where everyone could shut the fuck up about it. But that won't happen until they accept that being a respecter of persons is like trying to befriend a many headed hydra with a sword. It will never happen when you've already divvied up everyone from the get-go and given the hydra a myriad of regenerated heads while pretending to have successfully cut them off.
@The Warden of Oz I can agree on most of that. However, even if Freeman was off-base with the solution to end racism to be by to ignore race as a concept, even if it seems impossible and incompatible with the nitty-gritty of the functions of human society, it may as well be adopted by everyone over the extremely toxic and racist societal norm of treating race and similar identifying traits as a means to gain hierarchal status seeing as that is exactly the apparatus that creates racism and racial segregation
0 likesI don’t think I need to tell most people that race, gender, sexuality and other surface-level stuff is given significantly more importance and attention than it is given the prejudice and oppression in most first-world institutions. At this point, the amount of attention these identities are given practically beg for something to antagonistic system so it can be given more importance and sympathy than the amount society and its institutions already give it
Sadly, the thing that resonates with me personally with Morgan Freeman’s solution to end racial discrimination is that it will never be implemented by the current 24/7/365 global megaphone of racial identity so it can’t actually be said if it will change anything
@RollrCoastrBacon 27 Amazin!

4 likesQuick tip (which can actually come in useful if you are arguing with someone who does this) North Korea is not fascist, I won’t blame you as you clearly don’t have a grand vested interest in the subject, and fascism has become a bit of a buzzword. However, Fascism does not actually mean country lead by authoritarian boogeymen. North Korea is communist (unless you believe that it isn’t “true communism” but at that point I’m going to start being a bit less polite) and believe me when I say they would not appreciate being called Fascist whatsoever.

21 likes@Kurt prove to me how it is? Do white people get discriminated against for their features? I genuinely do not believe a white person has gone through half of the stuff I've experienced in America but go ahead and explain.
1 like@Ameera Abubakr Yeah, we do. YOU should prove how easy it is to be white. Because I've lost jobs due to "diversity quotas", to start with.
31 likes@Ameera Abubakr if someone is hiring or not hiring based on race, that is racism by definition. Its not racism only when you get the short end of the stick. Without diversity quotas, companies try to hire the best possible person for the job for the least amount of money they possibly can.
31 likesalso I'm not saying,it's not racism if it's not me,I'm saying it's not racism. Usually there is some sort of history or background behind racism or any other kind of bigotry... And yeah racism is an ideology and an opinion,and there are probably a small amount of people that genuinely hate white people-but corporations? No,corporations push an agenda to stay in power and make more money. Their interest is not in "oppressing white people",they are trying to pander to people of color because now it's not cool to be racist. Think about,blackface,there was a market in making fun of black people...now there isn't,or at least not as obvious. As brands like unilever for example,push skin bleaching creams in places like India and Nigeria it seems like people want to be white,not the other way around. There are 100+ countries in this world and its easier to name ones britian hasn't colonized,I mean seriously,this goes on and on...and I could keep going on. can you say the same for racism against white people? white people ruined communities,countries,lives,heritages and cultures. but some how,someway,white people are oppressed and are facing race issues in America,get your head out if your ass and look at the bigger picture. this is a much bigger,deeper problem than whatever the hell you think this is. and this is not "a class war dressed as a race issue" it can be both,and for once can it not be red versus blue? this isn't about,white people today,and shitting on white people,i don't mind them...but a lot of them are ignorant and aren't seeing the bigger picture. i can't see it the way y'all see it because i'm not white,and knowing the things i know about racism,colorism,colonialism,I just don't believe this,it sounds really ignorant and then my own lived experiences,hearing this pisses me off. i'm just being honest.
0 likesYou don't have to agree with me,it's just how I think.
@Jeff Walters Who ever brought up critical race theory?
1 like@Drew P. Weiner "a class problem disguised as a race problem" is how my UK partner described it to me early on when we started talking. Over there they had a big government initiative to look into systemic racism, and all they found was class problems (with poor white kids doing among the worst of any group by far). The UK is interesting because they speak about and recognize class issues much more than we do in North America. I think we face a very similar situation to that government report, if I'm honest (that is NOT to say that racism doesn't exist, as that's very different than systemic racism). We could at least learn from their example and discuss class issues much more than we currently do.

1 likeI have mixed opinions on this video. While you did a really good job of explaining the various reasons why Kimmel and why so many other late night hosts are insufferable I feel you really understated the importance of a lot of social issues.
38 likesStatistically plenty of people who commit sexual assault will never be imprisoned whether they're from Hollywood or not with victim's often being pressured by the courts to drop cases so they don't have to deal with them. Yeah Hollywood bred an especially toxic environment on that front, but to act like it's only really an issue there is ignoring the larger problem.
Racial issues didn't just stop with the civil rights movement. The war on drugs which you mention in this video aggressively targeted black communities resulting in mass incarceration and the further poverty and crime issues that plague many black communities. Plenty of people in this country are still racist even if it isn't quite as open and ingrained as it used to be. Obama getting elected didn't automatically prove racism is dead. Also acknowledging obvious things like "Police will be much more likely to arrest someone over minor offenses if they're black." doesn't mean that nobody who is white is disadvantaged just that in different areas (especially those involving police and prison) white people have advantages over black people.
Also I think your statement on American education is misguided. Yes there are organizational issues with how we structure our education (like our obsession with standardized testing) that go beyond budgetary problems, but it feels like you present the spending on the American education system as bloated even though America ranks 66th worldwide when it comes to percent of GDP spent on the education system. In reality we absolutely should be spending more money on things like improving inner city schools that are massively underfunded and giving teachers better pay.
I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of your opinions on these things have changed. This was made 3 and a half years ago and to be honest I probably shared a lot of similar thoughts back then.

@OK K
2 likesDon't flatter yourself into thinking I went out of my way to look for every single time you commented.
My point is that you left a politically biased comment in every thread on this video. Then, hypocritically, you mocked the idea of Emp Lemon putting his political bias into a hypothetical talk show.
I've spent quite some time reading funny or otherwise interesting comments on this video, only to be forced to come across your comments over and over.
To be honest, I got pretty annoyed by how many times you've tried to insert your own political opinions into everything, so I made a comment to mock you about it. Amazingly, you replied in seven minutes.
It's funny how you can't see how hypocritical you are, being biased while calling out someone for being biased, when they call someone out for being biased.
Next, someone is going to call me out for being biased, and this cycle will continue forever, eventually getting us nowhere.
Also, Emp wasn't putting himself above Jimmy at all. If anything, I think he did a great job of being neutral through most of the video.
Can the same be said for Jimmy Kimmel?
Can the same be said for you?
So, to answer your question: Yes. It is a joke. Most YouTube comments are jokes. I guess I have to spell that out for you since you took it so seriously.
Maybe you should take things more lightly, especially if they're coming from strangers on the internet.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand EmpLemon The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer’s head. There’s also Emp’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they’re not just funny- they say something deep about SOCIETY. As a consequence people who dislike EmpLemon truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Emp’s existential catchphrase “DOWNWARDSPIRALDOWNWARDSPIRAL,” which itself is a cryptic reference to Trent Reznor’s Metal epic of the same name. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as EmpLemon’s genius wit unfolds itself on their computer screens. What fools.. how I pity them. 😂

Trump didn't say "go riot," but he incited the violence nonetheless by keeping people angry even when there was no hope. So yeah, Trump is guilty of that.

He literally tried to convince the whole country that elections were illegitimate. If they really are, and there is truth to what he said, we need stricter laws ensuring real voting. At least he did a good job his first 3 years. Gas prices went to hell already with Sleepin' Joe.

1 like2. Democrats didn't claim the election had fraudulent votes and was illegitimate. They claimed and rightfully claimed btw that their private correspondences were hacked and publicly distributed right before the election to influence voters and it was hacked by a foerign country. All of this is confirmed by our own intelligence agencies. The claim is that Donald Trump benefited from it and possibly desired it which we can see from private correspondences between his son Don Jr. And Russian state agents in email exchanges along with the many financial ties Trump has with Russia such as being involved in money laundering schemes tied to Deutsche Bank were he has accounts for investment loans. The bank over the past decade have been fined 130 million dollars for money laundering Russian oligarch dirty money. So no, the Democrats weren't telling Americans that the actual vote count was fraudulent.
3. Every election cycle has a couple dozen humans who vote fraudulently. The reason why it's so few is because the opportunity cost isn't worth it and it's very easy to detect and is always found. Already half the county doesn't have the will power to vote and are apathetic to voting because they think their own messily vote out of millions is worthless. So very few humans would think the opputuinity cost (5 years in prison) is worth one added vote or a few added votes out of a million. It's also extremely risky. For you to successfully fraudulently.vote you would have to make sure the identity you are stealing to vote isn't going to vote themselves therefore you would literally have to stalk them and make sure they arent going to vote or else the system will detect two attempts under one registration and then will do a simple investigation. Hence why it's almost always caught and it's always just s couple dozen and never influence elections.
Donald Trump claimed that hundreds of thousands of votes were fake with no supporting evidence and riled up a bunch of Americans to believe that an illegal usurper was about to be inaugurated and that democracy in America essentially ended. Ya telling that to millions of people who think firearms are the solution to tyranny is going to result in violence
4. Texas Gulf Coast has the most refineries for gas production in the US. So when a state wide emergency in the state occurs were the energy grid went down to half it's capacity, that effects the refineries and it's output and will increase gas prices. We've seen this time and time again when the city of Houston encounters some sort of hurricane or other catastrophe. Gas prices always shoot up after those events.
@Farhan Chowdhury lmao why do u keep bringing up the texas shit, gas was already getting expensive before that happened 🤣

2 likes@z #37549 what i think morgan freeman meant by stop talking about it isnt racism itself but to stop focusing so much on race as what separates people. The "stop talking about it" quote comes from the interviewer asking him about being a black actor. Freeman doesnt want to be known as a black actor but just as an actor; as Morgan Freeman.

That whole "standing on the graves" argument is fucking stupid. Would I be standing on the grave of holocaust victims if I used them as an example to denounce nazis?
8 likesJ L I’ll give you that but I think that Jimmy wilfully ignores the fact that violence will always occur between humans. Also most countries with guns legalised dont have such a high gun murder rate, its reallly cultural and a result of isolation and divisiveness.
9 likesMillionaire celebrities can hire retired police as bodyguards who have special federal level concealed carry they can take in any state and carry in places joe blow working class cannot. Obviously demand is very high for the limited few who can skirt all concealed carry laws, so these bodyguards can charge a high price. It is extremely disingenuous to champion for the rights of the working class to be taken away while a second set of rights is preserved for the wealthy elite. When I hear millionaire limousine liberals champion for "common sense" gun control, I never hear them champion for rules that would affect THEM.
13 likesBefore this video was recommended to me, I had no idea you had such a warped view of people who don't buy the false narratives peddled by Fox News and the anti-SJW movement.
1 likeAlso, as bad as Kimmel's show seems to be (even apart from differences of political opinion), what he said was not that you have to be smart to be a liberal but that intelligence implies liberalism, which is closer to the truth (insofar as smart people who are conservative or authoritarian are also surely malevolent, but not ignorant like a typical right-winger).
Also, wanting to pay lower taxes is the major motivator for the GOP's donor base, but social issues are more important for the voter and activist bases; it seems like the "flaws" you saw in Democrats and their activist base amounted to failing to roll over and play dead for Republicans.
Race relations have been a serious problem in America for your entire life, even though you may have been shielded from that until the age of ubiquitous smartphones; there was hope that Obama would usher in a post-racial society, but we quickly saw that that wasn't going to happen during his Presidency, and even though IMO relations have been trending better, high-profile incidents from 2012 onward showed that there was still work to be done.

3 likesI don’t get why emp doesn’t agree with banning guns they aren’t the root of all evil but it’s stupid to not acknowledge the accessibility and ease of use guns have. Also the guns used being handguns and most gun deaths being suicides doesn’t make guns any better. I don’t understand what emp did there. Emp basically said society bad not gun bad. Guns being banned wont fix everything. Who actually believes that? It’s still urgent to restrict gun use so we actually have time and resources to fix other things. Banning guns is pretty much a temporary magic fix at the moment.

4 likesThat's the problem with America. The only two parties that have enough voters to be taken seriously are the DNC and GOP and to be honest, they're both mostly equally dumb and useless in means of actually practicing democracy. America runs on it's biggest corporations and the money that moves between said corporations and the government. There should be more parties that have a chance to make a change and so that people with different political opinions can get a representative in to the government. I mean you can't expect for 320 million or so people to only choose between two opinions on things. The less parties, the less power actual citizens have and the more power the 1% has.

0 likesHey Emp, big fan of your content, but I just want to issue one correction at 10:15. I’m a Berkeley student, and a Political Science major at that, and like, our education isn’t nearly as political as people think. Some professors talk about their political opinions on Twitter, and yes the general student body is largely very leftist and engages in protests frequently, but in the actual classroom I very rarely hear professors talking about their political opinions. If they do, they usually preface it by saying “this is purely opinion” and then they usually offer counter points. I understand why people think Berkeley is political propaganda university, but it’s a good thing to remind everyone not to conflate the general student body with the actual curriculum. And of the opinions I’ve heard, 9/10 are very safe centrist takes like “This is bad, but hey, it’s worse everywhere else, go America.” Maybe once in a blue moon there’ll be an anti-America take, but it’s usually about something historically where America was objectively bad, like Japanese internment or Native American genocide.
1 likeTLDR: California colleges don’t actually teach anti-American propaganda, that’s just the pre-existing opinion of many students the majority of the staff don’t even really agree with based on the seldom opinions they do share. As a third year Cal student I can confirm that’s just a common misconception. There are even pro-Trump student clubs lol. The rest of your video is completely on point tho

0 likesif there was any country that we shown' be at peace with, its NK. Their behavior and rhetoric is one of the only things you can unironically compare to the holocaust. The country needs an intervention from outside forces and the only reasons that hasn't happened yet is because they are good freinds with China, arguably the worlds most powerful country, and they are extremely isolationist. So there is not much reason to assume they will just attack other nations even if they have the technology and ability. NK would much likely stay in its own bubble where it can manage and control it's people easily. Any attempts at imperialism would only weaken it's grip on it's own people and give other countries a reason to step out of line with it's never ending bow to China.

A lot of people think he was so successful that he moved to the big leagues in the USA but the truth is, most people in the UK can't stand the guy and he'd never have found the success here with such a vacuous TV show.

I’m an American who lived in the UK for a period of time and spending time with Brits, I knew that Corden would not be appealing at all to you guys. Brits can tolerate Hollywood celebrity culture only to a certain extent and Corden has pushed its limits. His personality is far too gung ho that would be more appealing to Americans than Brits.

These video essays and rants are very well done and are probably the most unbiased and well articulated videos on what most people are trying to find the words for. I feel like you genuinely gave him and his actions a judgment anyone would get if anyone else was accountable for them. I recently felt like fantano, another somewhat unbiased creator was slowly encroaching a liberal bias in a random video of his, but instead of writing him off altogether, I questioned why he and I would differ in opinion. And I think you know there are unknowns we can't answer, saying we don't have a solution (or "it isn't a problem" ) is probably the hardest thing to admit when delusions and feelings feed the dogma we live in (see communism for an example)

4 likesAlso, at the end you grouped most liberals as having toxic beliefs, which is basically the same as what you are raging on them for, grouping most conservatives as racists. It made your call for rationalism disingenuous. Generalization rhetoric like this fuels separation and combative mentality, but maybe that was the goal for views. ;)
Replies (3)
Emp didn't group the Liberals to having toxic beliefs. He was talking about radicals. I think he could have specified. I think he didn't specify enough. I feel like you are kinda upset with this and this makes the statement "but maybe that was the goal for views. ;)" seem petty. Even if he didn't specify on purpose, you cannot deny that many of his other points were not fueled only for views. If you did create this comment out of rage, i have one thing for you: nice cherry picking
0 likes@I still cant think of a name It seems you agree with me. He had a small disclaimer, "it's not all, it's many", but then went on and talked about liberals as a homogenous group with the whole party now having warped, toxic ideals. He never said radical liberals.
0 likesMy comment about the views was showing the irony about how Emp points out the late night talk shows bash trump & conservatives for ratings, Emp calls for rationalization, but then Emp does that very same thing at the end, but in the other direction for his own "youtube ratings" (views). This isn't cherry-picking, it is a straight 3 minute segment of his video.
I would say I'm more disappointed than upset, because I hate this all "republicans are racists" and "democrats are antifa" thing going on in the US, and was initially happy to see Emp point it out, but then was sad to see him fall in line with the same rhetoric at the end.
side note: What does upset me is when people take tweets and use them as evidence to prove a point about what people are thinking. EVERYBODY does this. What do I care what Manny, Juice, & Asexual God say? For videos like this - whatever, he's a youtuber not a journalist, but when it's MSM doing it - that does cause me rage. You are giving voice to the few crazies out there, not to mention trolls, bots, & the online disinhibition effect. As a society, we need to start pointing out this lazy, biased reporting.

Then again, liberals and conservatives these days are just two sides of the same toxic partisan coin anyway. If neither of them could come up with something worthwhile besides attacking each other for their oversimplified principles and cancel everything that's so ever so slightly offensive, be it a fairy tale adaptation or something far more mundane, nothing changes.
0 likesIf I say it out that the live-action Snow White remake will be bad because a Hispanic actress is in the lead role, chances are I'd be shut down as racist, but racism isn't my motivation for criticising Disney's actions; I feel that the casting is just as racist as the racism Disney and so many others have pledged to stamp out. I'm not saying that Rachel Zegler is a bad actress in her own right either, but just because there are calls for a more inclusive society doesn't have to equate to tacking on various ethnicities into remakes or adaptations and make a lot of buck for making a (pretentious) statement. Disney could just get away with producing a film that celebrates Zegler's heritage than remake a seminal animated film in the most cash-grabbish way possible.

1 likeAs you see, he's making stuff up like "I'll get deleted if I post them here".
If someone claims something is true, its ALWAYS up to them to prove this and not to the others to google the result and check if it is BS or not.
Otherwise I could claim 9/11 was an inside job, the US has never been to the moon, etc. And if you'd google it, you'd find results that support the claim, but all of them on bullshit websites. And it wouldnt be you job to go through all of them to see if anyone has a good point here - which they obviously dont, since both statements are wrong.
I think thats obviously the right way to handle facts.
If anyone claims something is true and just tells you to google it, dont believe them.

Grow up man. There are also a lot of things I wish to be true, but everyone who is older than 14 should know how to find trustworthy sources for their claims and not believe everything just because some website told them its true.
This of course includes cnn aswell. Dont take all the things they say for the plain truth.

3 likesthere are a bunch of vids explaining just this, and why trump does that. So basicly, why he said all those controversial stuff during the republic primary was to gain attention. The media gave him 2 billion dollars worth of free advertising. Thats why he won the primary, cuz he was just everywhere (and the ability to call everyone differen names (lying ted, weak Jeb) crooked hillary, etc.)
7 likesAlso, why he always repeats the same things over and over is because he follows this simple doctrine : whats gets repeated gets remembered. So thats why you always see all those mcdonald ads EVERYWHERE. the first few wont convince you, but as you see hundreds of ads about its delicious (not) burgers, your brain decides to go there. So when he makes these very very simple statements (which the media reports) after seeing it for a kabillion amounts of time, some people believe him. there are a bunch of other stuff, im just too lazy to wright this.

I think people can like whatever they want as long as it does not negatively affect others. However, especially after Trump's election in 2016, celebrity culture, (funny how he actually comes from the same culture), and by extension, the mainstream media seemed to latch onto his incomitance in a parasitic way: driving themselves into a similar madness. These absurdities have compounded in academia, which often produces a generation that pits itself against the very governmental and economical principles that allow it to exist. Finally, causing America to instigate political polarization that rivals the 1850's. This situation seems hopeless when we only address the symptoms of the issues instead of pondering their causes. Most true intellectuals can't even discuss solutions to this problem because of censorship, sometimes more explicit than others. Summarized: we're fucked unless we can open ourselves up to uncomfortable discussions and ideas that go beyond reductive stereotypes of the "other side."

0 likes@I’m with English I implore you to read the works of philosopher Umberto Eco and his "14 common traits of fascist ideology" I will list them bellow,
0 likesco is firm in claiming “There was only one Nazism,” he says, “the fascist game can be played in many forms, and the name of the game does not change.” Eco reduces the qualities of what he calls “Ur-Fascism, or Eternal Fascism” down to 14 “typical” features. “These features,” writes the novelist and semiotician, “cannot be organized into a system; many of them contradict each other, and are also typical of other kinds of despotism or fanaticism. But it is enough that one of them be present to allow fascism to coagulate around it.”
The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.”
The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.”
The cult of action for action’s sake. “Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
Disagreement is treason. “The critical spirit makes distinctions, and to distinguish is a sign of modernism. In modern culture the scientific community praises disagreement as a way to improve knowledge.”
Fear of difference. “The first appeal of a fascist or prematurely fascist movement is an appeal against the intruders. Thus Ur-Fascism is racist by definition.”
Appeal to social frustration. “One of the most typical features of the historical fascism was the appeal to a frustrated middle class, a class suffering from an economic crisis or feelings of political humiliation, and frightened by the pressure of lower social groups.”
The obsession with a plot. “Thus at the root of the Ur-Fascist psychology there is the obsession with a plot, possibly an international one. The followers must feel besieged.”
The enemy is both strong and weak. “By a continuous shifting of rhetorical focus, the enemies are at the same time too strong and too weak.”
Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy. “For Ur-Fascism there is no struggle for life but, rather, life is lived for struggle.”
Contempt for the weak. “Elitism is a typical aspect of any reactionary ideology.”
Everybody is educated to become a hero. “In Ur-Fascist ideology, heroism is the norm. This cult of heroism is strictly linked with the cult of death.”
Machismo and weaponry. “Machismo implies both disdain for women and intolerance and condemnation of nonstandard sexual habits, from chastity to homosexuality.”
Selective populism. “There is in our future a TV or Internet populism, in which the emotional response of a selected group of citizens can be presented and accepted as the Voice of the People.”
Ur-Fascism speaks Newspeak. “All the Nazi or Fascist schoolbooks made use of an impoverished vocabulary, and an elementary syntax, in order to limit the instruments for complex and critical reasoning.”

0 likesLemon, I just want to say that I think you`re onto something with where you`re taking this channel of yours.
8 likesWhile I first noticed you because of your old YTPs, you first caught my eye in this particular manner with your "best memes of 2016" video. There, you explained how the "TRIGGERED" meme, as well as some others, was a symbol of the growing influence of the internet`s private culture as a sort of counterbalance to the outside "mainstream." Now, I think your channel has become the primary symbol.
While the vast majority of YouTube channels stay in their own little private world, you are one of the select few that have actually used this channel to critique subjects and media outside of this website. In fact, your mention about Kimmel being "mainstream television" is what inspired me to write this comment. What other channel would even think of doing a thirty minute video on something like this?
I feel like you are sort of a forerunner, or a tester, for the hidden culture of the internet to slowly reveal its power and actually interact more (for better or for worse) with the mainstream. You first discussed how memes were being used as political commentary, and they (in your infamous BTM video) exposed a very potent threat to an accurate outsider perception of meme culture. We are slowly becoming brave enough to interact/critique "the other side."
Your channel may very well be foreshadowing a sort of mass-realization in the near future that there are two different cultures that have formed in today`s world. I`m not sure where that realization will lead however - I really hope it leads to a calm recognition of each group`s sphere of influence, rather than any sort of "culture war." If used correctly, this sort of bridge of recognition could be used to achieve a peaceful relationship between these two worlds.
In any case, I would definitely say that you are ahead of your time, whether you realize it or not.

You’ve got a political mindset already, straight away, you have a large following made up of (out of the ones who regularly watch your videos) mostly moderately intelligent people, and you great communication skills. But most importantly, you truly care about the wellbeing of the people who follow you. It’s proven via this video and the ones you’ve made that are similar in structure, which encourage them to go out and thoroughly research a topic before forming a strong opinion; and they succeed in part due to you showing your new strong opinion through a well researched and produced video on youtube while sprinkling in a few meta comments that ensure the right message is brought across.

You realize how often it happens once you get close to many women and all of them admit to have been sexually harassed, many admit to have been sexually assaulted, and a few have them have even been raped. It has been getting better over the years but many people do get away with it because it can be very hard to prove that you were raped in court. Especially considering that many times the rapist is someone they’re in love with, they become traumatized and conflicted and by the time they come forward its far too late.
2 likesEdit: I would like to say that obviously its a much bigger problem in hollywood, but at the same time its a much bigger problem outside of hollywood.

4 likesSurprised that in Switzerland you are required to own a weapon. And yet, no mass shootings happen there. Its not about the law, but the people. The people, or person, may be going through a period in their life where they believe killing the problem is the right solution. This can be linked to Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, even the US finds that killing the problem is the solution. But, back to the person. These people are some of the most sick and demented people on Earth. Instead of finding out why the person, or people, caused the shooting we assume that the law is to blame. Our right to bare arms is not just about self defense, but its about another topic looked over. If the US falls under a government take over, the people have a right to form their own militia and end it. Just like how we united in 1776 to fight against the Tyrannical British Empire. People ignore the right way (finding the source to what lead to the person's mind thinking that it was a good idea to obtain a weapon and eliminate the problem) and go for the wrong way (Blame the law we made hundreds of years ago and had no problems with until our modern day). I live in this nation, and I am afraid to live in it any longer. Thanks America for making me fear my own Nation.

1 likeWont solve it, but it would help to only sale hunting arms to normal, sane hunters or other guns to, for example, security guards that assault rifes to everyone that wants and of course it would help.
So, I live in U.S. Kentucky. My particular county is so full of mdthheads, pill addicts, and clinically insane bastards, that we genuinely feel fear. I have had a shotgun in my room for over 10 years, yet I've only fired it twice, both times were to check it worked properly when I first bought it. Many people here hung for food because our medium wage isn't enough to pay any more then average rent on an apartment, so we fish, gather, and hunt to supliment our diets. I have seen a man shot, with what I later learned was an illegal .38 revolver as a child. He was shot during a meth deal home wrong. The only thing that saved my family sitting in a car was my mom calling on the phone while having a gun in her hand. The guys looked at us and almost attacked us to tighten up loose ends. I wasn't even ten. I'm white, southern male, and I support guns, because without them, I would've been dead from a drug deal gone wrong because we happened to pull over at a convenience store because my baby brother needed a diaper change. Fuck ignorance that leads people to think not having guns would stop violence. Violence will happen regardless, guns are just an equalizer that allows old folks and children to defend themselves against middle aged criminals who would kill them indiscriminately otherwise. Learn something, instead of being ignorant to those that think guns cause violence.
2 likes@Joshna Frank yeah do you realize that banning guns works both ways. Like yeah criminal could in theory still get guns illegal but for example in europe is almost imposible cause of how hard regulations are. Criminal in the us always have gun cause you can get assault rifles in the supermarket sorry to hear that you live in a bad hood but that doesn't make owning guns so easaly a normal argument if guns were limited for example to a hunter only hunting guns after very hard medical and background exams or to security guards it will not be that easy to anyone to have a gun a commit crimes with it. Crimes would still exist but it woyld not be as rare maybe it work for you one time to have a gun but next time it might not be the same and im prerty sure more criminals kill other peoplw that gun owners kill criminals in self defense
0 likesSo the8 best strategy is to do nothing until by magic or miracle the perfect specific solution comes to the problem? Yo have the whole world to compare yourself and see how many shootings are. And it wouldn't be total banning if you are a hunter and you pass a very specific test and background check you can own hunting weapons, not military or handguns. And if you are a security guard you can own a pistol if you a qualified. It't not like that simpsons episode where the zombie cowboys take springfield there would be guns, to the people that should have guns. And yes crime would still exist and criminals could still get to own a gun but it wouldn't be as easy as today and you wont rank the first world crounty with murders and school shootings

2 likesMy last comment on this because I realize you folks forget there is a person behind these comments who actually thinks and had a brain instead of a terrible 2d joke from Facebook or 4 Chan or wherever you go to look at stupid shit. Ok. Regulations are good, bans are bad. Guns can be bad, but aren't the reason behind the violence. There are countries where they are embroiled in chaos and bloodshed because of guns and drug trade being rampant, but the guns yet again aren't the reason for why the fighting actually happens, unless someone shoots a guy to get the gun. There are also countries who have slacker gun control and manage to have little violence or bloodshed when compared to outher countries. It's not something that is easily solved because people are people. Each country must tackle the issue differently due to various factors. Stop comparing U.S. with other countries, because our culture is so vastly different that an answer the EU or other Organizations might've cooked up simply won't work. You can't fire .38 bullet from a .22, so why do you think an issue the .22 has would be solved by an answer that was used by a .38? Comparing a monkey to a fish is unfair, for each has their own beneficial points. A fish can't climb, and a monkey won't swim as well. I hope this answers your critisms enough, because I don't want to be a fool attempting to convince the entirety of the internet's userbase in my ideal or opinions validity. Tl;Dr: It's not a simple issue with a uniform answer, if it was, we would've fixed it by now.. Worry about this complicated issue and others on your own homefront first. Once you find the answer to world peace then come sharing and preaching, but for now. Goodbye and have a nice day.

I remember going on vacation to the United States about 5 or so years ago to Chicago. I remember the content on TV being really bad. And the news wasn't any better. It's all just making things more dramatic than they actually are, and always assuming the worst case scenario. I've never really watched a late night host in that time, but after looking at this video, I think that as a European it's safe to assume that national US television is garbage.
1 likeMy theory: traditional box or flatscreen TV is practically dead, and is being replaced by the internet. Why pay for TV, when you can just pay for internet and get the same things you can do on TV, and more?

It's more that drama and sensationalism gets more views rather than intelligent, ration, and nuanced speaking on a subject matter, or at least the US entertainment establishment thinks it does.

0 likeslate night shows now are just socially acceptable forms of bullying. Whether it be under the umbrella of politics or just making fun of celebrities or whatever, most of the original content they produce is just making fun of others, and apparently that’s top notch comedy.

9 likesI agree with the points made in this video about Jimmy Kimmel and how shitty his show is, but there was a legitimate reason to criticize Trump's meeting with Kim Jong-Un. Every president before Trump avoided meeting with him or any North Korean leader to avoid giving diplomatic legitimacy to North Korea's tyrannical shitty poo poogovernment.

Also the whole idea that race relations aren't a problem in America, as if the civil rights movement somehow cancelled racism. In 2017, 61% say the country still needs to make changes for racial equality - even today there's things like African-American people suffering hiring discrimination and significantly longer prison sentences, or things like the bill in the Texas senate that, if passed, will strip the teaching of MLK's speeches and remove the teaching that the KKK is morally wrong from the school curriculum.

0 likesI don't think race relatipns are a ptoblem either. Black americans face lots of big problems most notably the high single motherhood rate which causes much more problems down the line. I thinj that people recognise blacks face tgese problems but they misattribute whats exactly causing it and many people assume that a group of people are causing it. So people think white people or rich people. Now that white americans are facing bigger problems now due to the higher single motherhood rate theres a group of white nqtionalists blaming their problems on minorities and rich people that are traitors. All the problems facing these groups are very real i just think you and many others are mistaking whats causing them
1 likeWhat he was meaning at 28:45 is that being black or gay is a superficial difference from white or straight. There is no difference and they should be treated equally.

Yo as a minority in nearly every facet of my "identity", tell me how things that yall consider "microaggressions" do any harm at all? Theyre not oppressive, not malicious, and are even LESS harmful than actual intended insults. Like when people go "lol watch out hes a lil crazy" in reference bc i have a psychosis illnesses, or "so whats your real name?" bc im trans, or "shouldnt you be good at math?" bc im asian- its literally just people wording things wrong or not having a broader scope of understanding. It doesnt pose any real problems, and if anything, "microagressions" are just weak points in the deliverers perception that give you an opportunity to be like "yo i know you didnt mean nothing by that but you couldve worded that better/yo you do realize that stereotypes dont apply to everyone in a group even though they do have some relevance to a portion of it, right?"
2 likesAnd as for the "race relations" its a problem manufactured by the media like Kimmel himself, who paint one side as the sole aggressor and the other as the perpetual victim. If media promoted self accountability and provided aid to help people instead of putting all that money into creating division, the imaginary problem that only exists because people say it does would ✨ fade ✨.
And the things i provided are even consider more harsh than "microaggressions" by most rabid leftists, who consider "be a man" to be a Real microaggression, instead of just being a traditional saying that focuses on gender roles in our culture rather than insisting that every gender HAS to fit those gender roles (depending on how its used).

Just because someone is a piece of shit doesn't mean you have a free pass to make thing super or deliberately misinterpret thing about them.
0 likesOf all the things you could have used to make fun of Jimmy Kimmel, though, this was an odd one. Everyone thinks it's good for us to negotiate with North Korea, but the generally accepted deopolitical wisdom is that it is not good to give rogue leaders the prestige of meeting directly with the president of the US when they haven't been living up to agreements.
People were making fun of him meeting directly with Kim Jong Un and also proclaiming that he would personally get the guy to change his tune. You send professional diplomats for that, for a variety of reasons. Trump absolutely should have been made fun of for that, and the fact that you don't seem to understand that really made me think a lot less of you, emperor lemon.

Exactly. Everyone wants to say “ewww being a liberal is bad and you guys can’t think!!! Republicans are so smart.” Republicans are just as bad. We’re liberals mad when Trump won? Yes. What they do? They cried and complained, that’s a completely normal response if someone you don’t like becomes president. What did Republicans do when a Democrat becomes president? They call all the voting “rigged” and then storm the capital because the votes are “rigged” and the election was “stolen.” Honesty both parts of the the far left and the far right are absolutely atrocious and toxic. I feel like this video and it’s political stuff contained is completely outdated. In this video it tries to paint being a liberal “bad” and being “crazy” when in fact nowadays it’s completely flipped after the capital riot. Being a Republican now is considered “bad” and “crazy” due to the nonsense they spew out till this day about the “rigged election.” So ya the stuff stated about liberals in this video is completely flipped and is now labeled on the Republican Party it’s honestly the funniest thing ever. They hated far left liberals so much they literally became and act like them rn except they’re Republicans. That’s politics for ya lmao.

1 likeNot to mention Jimmy shut down and flatly dismissed a very reasonable response regarding the unending onslaught talking heads covering politics from that woman in her interview calling her crazy
Look he even mentions how the conservative side does it too when he gave the example commonly said by the conservative side:
"Oh you don't want to spend millions of $ on the military? Well then I guess you want America weak"
The point he is trying to make is that due to the ceaseless political coverage on all sides
we've been conditioned to use misinformed reductionist arguments that don't actually solve problems, they just tear at the opposite side creating divisions
And I'm sorry to say but yes, Jimmy Kimmel had contributed to this just as much as the whacko Alex Jones, it's just that Jimmy calls himself a "liberal" so whenever legitimate criticism is levied at him other liberals come to his defense
Me? I'm liberal in the classical sense of the word and I still agree with the majority of the criticism this man gave, he could do one on Alex Jones too and given this quality of video as proof he'd do an excellent job at that as well
We have got to stop blindly running to the defense and attack of individuals when legitimate criticism is levied simply because they are "one of us"

3 likesYes, Emp. White people can be unemployed. Do you think when people talk about white privilege it's because people think ONLY good things happen to white people? It's an average. Unemployment isn't as high for white people, police brutality is lower, there are mountains of stats showing this that EmpLemon very conveniently forgot to mention just to boil everything down to "White privilege isn't an issue because homeless people". Just because homelessness and unemployment are issues that doesn't mean fighting systemic racism and trying to stand for human rights in other ways isn't ALSO an issue that deserves attention?
We can all agree that homelessness is bad. But the reason people make such a big fuss about trans rights and stuff like it is because we DON'T all agree that transphobia is a bad thing, so if the people who want to protect the LBGT+ community don't speak up then the people who want to oppress them win and they'll control the narrative. And that's another thing, no, just 'shutting up' about racism won't "magically" solve racism or something, that's not how things work. Ignorance and hate always spread in the absence of information. If you don't fight the fascists then they WILL take over and normalize things until suddenly we're seeing the return of Jim Crow laws.
That might sound like an exaggeration, but people on the right literally believe an unproven election fraud theory that lead domestic terrorists to attempt to BOMB AND ASSASSINATE politicians! These people are fucking dangerous when you let them spread misinformation because crazy radical morons exist!
Yes! Hillary Clinton had a lot of downsides and problems. Who cares how she feels about Russia when the insane dipshit that won over her is busy trying to bring the military in to stop protests over yet another black guy being murdered by another scummy cop! Is it masturbatory? Sure. Will it change any minds to keep saying this stuff? Probably not. But I don't want to live in a world where one person asks why Trump is bad and the other guy isn't able to say anything, because this guy was constantly doing shitty things that fucked people over and the only reason why things weren't worse was because a bunch of people on the inside kept actively going out of their way to stop him and talk him out of shit.
Sure, as Emp says, just banning assault rifles won't solve all gun control issues, but nobody expects it to. Doing any of this crap people talk about is just a step in the road of solving way bigger problems. You say banning assault rifles won't fit the problem? Sure. I agree. But what the heck is even the alternative when mass shootings continue to happen?!
But nahh, forget about all of that, here's some morons getting angry at a dog. There isn't a problem here, it's just a perfectly normal circus clowning around as usual. Do not question the clowns, just let them do their fire juggling act as the world burns around them.

0 likes@Giga Chad Might as well start with gun control because Id also brought it up even though Youtube didn't ping me for that reply for some reason.
2 likesBecause here's the big thing.......... The entire idea of a 'good guy with a gun' solving everything is an absolute myth that has basically never worked practically. There was actually a really good example of how bad this works not super long ago on January 25th, when Johnny Hurley took action and killed the Colorado Shooter before getting shot by the cops, himself, because the officer on the scene just saw him kill a guy.
If everyone's trying to shoot at a mass shooter and nobody knows what's going on then that just makes things harder for the actual police on the scene. It doesn't matter what theoretical idea you have in your head of someone cleanly showing up with a gun and having just one person solve the situation really neatly and orderly. The reality is that people panic and jump to conclusions when there's actual gunfire going off. And if even the police, who are actively trained for this, are making huge mistakes, then what chance does your average joe have of calmly stopping to assess the situation?
Say there's 100 armed people at the mall and one of them starts a mass shooting. That leaves 99 other potential idiots to start getting confused and shooting at eachother BEFORE the police even get involved! You're not going to just have the one lone guy who solves the problem and calms everyone down, you're going to have 10, 20, maybe even 40 people freaking out and opening fire on anything that feels even remotely threatening, including the other armed civilians who are also looking for a shooter when they don't know what the guy looks like or how many of them there might even be.
No country with strict gun bans has this problem. But, conversely, I've never heard of any nation EVER solving gun violence by overly arming the population because it's just a terrible idea. Like a lot of problems in life, the solution isn't reactionary, it's preventative. Limit guns overall and suddenly people can't shoot eachother in the face nearly as easily.
You try to cite this whole slippery slope fallacy of "But if we remove guns then what freedoms are next", but the entire idea behind America is that its laws can change and adapt with the times. And we are MILES away from the period where an armed group of individuals with muskets could overthrow a corrupt government, like the Second Amendment was intended to allow us to do. Heck, it wouldn't even be the first time an amendment was removed, if you know anything about Prohibition.
Even if you do think gun control is a non-issue, the solution is still obvious and if you want to stop the problem then you've got to actually move towards that solution one step at a time one way or another.
Let's see... does that cover pretty much everything on this topic? This comment's getting long so I'm going to split up this reply into multiple parts because we've got a lot to go through before I can really say I've answered for everything.

After a little bit of that research I actually became a Trump supporter. All the constant Trump bashing actually drove me in the direction of eventually being a supporter. Funny enough out of my 15 closest Friends who were all liberal except 2 only 1 or 2 voted for Trump in the last election. Honestly I was surprised when he lost in 2020 but me and my friends accepted Biden as our new president. I hope Biden does as well as Trump.
2 likesPs: I say 1 or 2 because I have one friend who didn't want to tell me who he voted for and I didn't want to pressure him.

0 likesI watched Conan and Fallon, but completely stopped when they started the Trump b.s. I didn’t mind an occasional Trump joke, but the whole show became one huge skit, with the sole purpose of bashing Trump. All roads lead to a Trump punchline. If a show would’ve stayed normal and just kept to the occasional Democrat and Republican joke it would’ve been alright. Once you make it clear that you’re bias though; the jokes are just that much worse.

1 likeTHANK YOU! there is so much i hate about the whole outrage culture for lack of a better word issue, and i really appreciate this video as it took a lot of my thoughts and helped articulate them.
9 likeslet me start by saying that i'm democrat, because for the sake of a oversimplification I care more about social issues than economic issues (social issues being ACTUAL issues like the flawed systems not being updated like prison system, environmental issues, etc not the bullshit. but theirs a lot of shit that my parities doing that should be nutty bonkers but is now normalized, and tbh i think you summed it up perfectly, but i'm going to elaborate. I think this started when the news (the news is a problem for another rant) realized they could rile people up and hence get watchtime and ad revenue by taking a fringe group of hyper extreme lunatics getting mad about something unreasonable and broadcasting there complaints to the world, what happened was the news realized it was possible and continued taking absurd narratives that villanize groups for actions most of then never even did and cut out any grey area, but they contuined taking these narratives and publishing them cus they riled ppl up and hence made them tons of ad money, then commentary people online realizing how nuts this shit was tried to fight it by saying such, which worked for the majority but everything this cycle happened more people joined the nutty causes since the more you hear something the less absurd it becomes, and the more reasonable it sounds, anyways repeat this cycle for a few years and we get to today. moreso this isn't the over arching problem, the news has been spouting whatever nonsense scares people into watching more of the news for years, while intentionally keeping people in the dark, theres a reason most of the news is buzzwords and theirs a serious lack of any proper explanation besides a impulsive emotional agenda they want to mouth feed you to rile you up. it also doesn't help we have political news channels aimed to specific parties which only convinces the people watching there party is this beacon of truth while the opponents are all evil lunatics, which yes both sides have evil lunatics but the majority of ppl no matter the side are just normal chill people with there own opinions, thats why i hate the "all republicans are racist" bullshit, like i'm democrat but most my friends are republican and none of them are racist, infact i think most republicans just hate the outrage culture bs but have nothing against any race for being the race they are, like they don't care if your gay, but they don't want gay people screaming at them and calling them homophobes, And tbh there not perfect either as alot of them don't like gay people who kinda shove it down your throat, but tbh i think the messsage most of them me inculded agree on is it doesnt matter what you are, idc if your gay for example, just don't put yourself into a box where i have to treat you diffrently and walk on this ice and if i make a small mistake you'll yell at me for being a homophobe, and tbh i think most gay people find the nutty minority within the minority who puts them in a box and yells at everyone calling them homophobes more harmful than helpful. so yea i think the fact we have poltically oriented news channels that suck people into there wormhole makes it so they assume there sides the only sane poltical side and hence refuse to have discussions with the other party/ hear them out, which is sad cus just listening to our enemies reasoning and finding a soultion by working together could solve most the worlds problems, after all most wars are fought not even knowing what the person your killing's motivations are, and after all were all human, don't get me wrong there are some awful shitty humans out there, but were all human and if we took time to understand eachother and listen the world would become a much less problematic place imo,
anyways if you've read this far, thanks i really appreciate it, and i don't want you to make my opinions as fact but instead read them and make your own decisions :)

I don't blame Jimmy or think he is the sole reason for the downward spiral of society. I don't like him AT ALL, but I think the internet is the actual problem here. On the internet you can put your opinions no matter how bad they are online for everyone to see and people can listen to whatever they want and block out anything they dislike and create echo chambers.
24 likesBefore the internet, you mostly just shaped your beliefs by your own interactions with others and since you weren't anonymous any hot takes can be critized and your reputation could be tarnished.
TLDR; the internet was ready for us, but we as a society wasn't ready for the internet. Just think about it, society was fine until the internet became readily available for the general public and it's only been getting worse since then.
@Dharc So, assuming you're somehow right (you're not, but let's entertain the thought for a second) and it's entirely the internet's fault, what's your solution? And before you say it, the Genie isn't going back in the bottle no matter how hard you try.
12 likesWhy you're wrong: Hollywood and elitist culture has always been a hive of delusion and pseudoscience going back to the tenth century, "The emperor's new clothes" was a parody story ABOUT an elite's delusional obsession with wealth and his own moral upstanding such that reality itself no longer applied. More specifically, the mainstream media has been pushing outrage culture since 9/11, long before the mainstreaming of the Internet. Why? Because some executive at CNN or MSNBC saw the sky high ratings they got during 9/11 and said "If we could keep pushing content that causes that much of a stir, it could make us rich! How do we do that again?" All the Internet has done is made it easier for people to take notice and call it out.
@Dharc I don't think freedom of ideas on the internet is our problem. If social media companies had an ounce of integrity and non-partisanship, echo chambers wouldn't be so easily created. All the social media companies that deleted Trump's accounts have doomed themselves to become liberal echo chambers (take me for example, I deleted Twitter 4 days ago). Any social media sites that don't outwardly discriminate against republicans are becoming Republican echo chambers. The issue is that two non-compatible realities have been created by the Democrats and by the Republicans. I personally believe the Republican reality is real, not in small part because of the pretentious hacks like Kimmel and the huge corporations that collaborated to kill anti-Biden information and effectively "steal" the election from Trump. When all of the established, elitist corporations rally against you, you must be doing something right. Literally everyone possible in the entertainment industry went against Trump. Really makes you believe they are getting orders from higher-ups. And that plays into conspiracy theories of puppet masters.... You can clearly see where this leads. The Qanon stuff was false when it came to the election and Trump being revealed as the winner, but the sick stuff about human trafficking and Hollywood are undoubtably true. To save society I believe Hollywood culture must collapse, among other things.

Remember when they did Weekend Update and the jokes were funny enough to make them break composure and crack up sometimes? Now they are just saying "Trump bad!" and the canned laughter sells the joke to you without any wit whatsoever.

I am one of those people who watched Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert, but really just cause I wanted a satirical format for the news I got. But as the video mentions, I don't really enjoy it all that much. I was just there to get my intake of news, but it's not really news, and this video opened my eyes even more to that. It's always biased towards one side, and never positive on the other. I honestly want to stop watching Kimmel and Colbert now; I'm so sick of them talking about Trump. Colbert wasn't for a while and even had a running gag about NOT talking about him, but now he's circled back to making him the center of his monologues. I don't know what it is, but I just wish there was a better, less biased, and more varied source where I could get news in a satirical format.

I feel like the country is screwed.

1 like@Mavis Beacon It really does depend. Cancel culture has done some good, outting, and removing pedophiles, predators, rapists, abusers from positions of power, harming their ability to victimize more people. However, on the flip side, it also can get carried away and target innocent people, including kids. So full-blown adults can go from being outraged about abusers to become the abuser themselves. I think it's too vague and broad of a topic to just paint it all with one brush. So context matters here. Jimmy had no problem when other people were being canceled, and has legitimately done some fucked up things. I'm not going to shed a tear that the mob he directed at others finally came for his ass. Cancel culture really can be boiled down to people taking a stand against things they find scummy. And just like anything else, that can be perverted, twisted, abused, or wrong. But that doesn't mean its also done no good, because it has. So for me, it depends on the context, and just what they're accused of, and how much evidence exists. If there's a video of you abusing a kid, yep you deserve people's outrage at your action. If there's no evidence to substantiate a claim? Probably not a justifiable thing to 'cancel' someone over. So I can either like it, dislike it, feel nothing, and so on. In this case, I think it's just karma coming back around on him.

18 likesI’m going to be genuinely honest here, I typically identify myself as a conservative, but I feel now after this video I’m probably more down the middle than I thought. All I’ve heard in the news (only fox since I’m most exposed to it) we’re just bashing the left for the stupid things that they did. I will agree the left sometimes does stupid things, but they never talk about the good part of the left, the sane people, not the radicals. I think the left is more of a try hard in a somewhat good way, while the republicans don’t try as much to change but think more logically, or don’t take as many risks. But I’m just confused to why politics got so toxic recently, I don’t remember ever being a point in time (besides the civil war era) that the left and right bashed each other this inanely. I’m just so sick of it to the point that I’ll never watch the news again. If it’s just negativity than what’s the point. All it does is make me more miserable. If your a kid out here who hasn’t explored the hellhole called Politics, I strongly encourage you to stop. I don’t want our future generations to live in a toxic world. As they say “Always look on the bright side of things” but you can’t really find any bright side about politics.

40 likesas someone who seems to lean a little more to the left, I feel your statement completely! All politics is in the modern era (in my opinion) is a tool to get clicks on their garbage websites. It's quite sad to see, honestly. There could be some very interesting conversations to have between both sides on social and economic issues, but it seems that people would rather scream at eachother than just sit down and TALK!
53 likesyeah. Politics is doing more harm than good
16 likesI think it's probably like this because people who have or pretend to have super far left or super far right views are often seen more because they gather more of a reaction, albiet negative. Plus, the shield of anonymity people have on the internet means that they tend to be more harsh to people with opposing views when they wouldn't in real life.
14 likesAlso, a lot of things I feel that shouldn't be politics count under politics for some reason. It is my personal view, though, but I feel a lot of things I think are generally agreed on (i.e, "M.A.P."s shouldn't be seen as politics, everybody unless they are a child and don't know better or people who legitimately need help think that they aren't okay and need help.) Unfortunately, things that shouldn't be politics but are are the reason why I've been somewhat pushed into politics, despite being somewhat young myself. Oh well.
I've realized a lot of this after talking to somebody with views I don't typically see where I live - pro-gun, anti-abortion (although not completely different, they described themselves as a centrist) while the town I live in is more leftist. They provided pretty interesting arguments (specifically about abortion as we didn't talk much about guns.) It was completely respectful, they didn't fit the stereotype of people who aren't leftist seen a lot in leftist spaces, and we actually agreed on quite a lot (for example, with abortion, we agreed that people should be able to have easy access to things like birth control so they don't have to kill what is or what could potentially be a living being.)
I think that if people realized that most of what they see online of certain views aren't actually what people generally think, politics might be a little bit of a better place and hold more interesting discussions instead of people just hurling insults at eachother.
I'm a far-leftist(libertarian market socialist) and you're more coherent than most liberals I've talked to

12 likes"Pronouns never needed to be fixed because they were never broken."
So here's the thing, right? Pronouns are fine generally for like 99% of people, and that's generally good enough. You're born a man and we get the deal. But there actually are trans people who don't identify with their pronouns at birth which complicates things. So they're perfectly fine... IF you don't include trans people, which we didn't for a really long time. Now that we do, it's still fine 99% of the time, but every now and then someone will request different pronouns and they have a right to go by them, and you know what? Fair enough. I feel like almost everyone would sensibly agree with that, if you're not sure but they say they're a He, then why not, right?
The reason it's a political thing is because most pretty normal sensible people can just accept that and it's fine. But specifically people on the right sometimes just go ape-shit over it because it's different from what they're used to, right? So that makes them panic and feel under attack and they just freak out. Sometimes just reflexively, but also sometimes because they genuinely hate LBGT+ people. So because people on the right tend to hate this stuff a lot of the time, it HAS to be a leftist issue now. Because you're going against specifically the conservative party, right? So it HAS to be political now by its very nature.
There's more to it like how our understanding of sex is way more nuanced and how our understanding of gender has changed to be more performative and stuff, but big point is, everything's fine as long as you don't just decide to be an asshole to a random trans person or something by intentionally misgendering them.

1 like@Dracocrusher I have a question as someone who doesn't understand the whole 42 genders thing, why don't trans people just use the pronouns of the gender they identify as? As in, why doesn't a woman who realizes that actually they identify as a man just say "I'm a male" instead of that they're specifically a "transgender male"
1 like@Riah As far as I'm aware, that's generally how it works. But if you you're, say, doing a youtube video or something where you want to talk about something related to being Trans then it's really useful to make that distinction. And there are other times when it's useful, too, like when talking about their medical history and stuff, because there are differences to consider when, say, talking to a doctor or whatever, right? And then there are cases where someone doesn't feel like they pass well enough as their preferred gender to just say "I'm a man" without people pointing out that they're Trans or something so they just address it ahead of time to avoid that whole conversation.
4 likesBasically, there are situations where the context can be useful overall for one reason or another.
Hope that helps!
@Riah first off, we usually just use the shortened term trans. second of all, transgender and cisgender are just descriptors. you don’t “identify” as trans, you ARE trans by nature. we HAVE to use that because . there are cis-passing trans people and sometimes they hide it in fear of being outed. non-binary people can fit under this umbrella, if they choose to be considered trans or not. trans- essentially means that you don’t identify with the sex you were born with. I am non-binary and trans. I struggle with gender dysphoria unfortunately, but not everyone who is non-binary does so.
5 likesNormalizing “pronouns” is a net positive. So we could make way for a even more accepting world. Unfortunately, people like me get called names just for wanting to exist normally. There is this massive stigma perpetuated by people that think we are lesser than and should be like them. People hate differences. People have superiority complexes and are too afraid to admit they are being bad so treat us like we are the ones in the wrong instead. To be honest, that’s every marginalized group…
@josie Yes, but also, it's kind-of crazy just how many logical fallacies and terrible arguments EmpLemon shoved in back to back just to justify his argument.
13 likesSo much of that segment is literally just the "Starving kids in Africa" argument, where someone will bring up a problem and someone else will be like "Why are you worried about this when there are starving kids in Africa?" It's a complete fallacy that ignores the original problem completely.
Like for example "Why are we worried about systemic racism when white people are homeless?" is one of the points he brings up. And that sounds really hypocritical... until you realize that addressing one issue doesn't keep you from also caring about the other one?
@Gray Scale nice bait

7 likesA lot of this video is dedicated to how “if you disagree with liberals, they’ll simply call you [x]”, but then the last section of the video is spent reductively saying “liberals are very simply [x], and they just believe in [y] and [z]”.
It’s a very juvenile understanding of politics. Lemon likely never talked to any liberals in the making of this video to, in good faith, understand where these supposed arguments and positions come from. Hence why you see him ascribing things like “liberals think all white people have it better than all black people simply because of their race” onto them. This isn’t a position anyone with legitimacy believes in or espouses, it’s a straw-man conservatives impose onto liberals for fear-baiting purposes. If Lemon actually talked to liberals in good faith to make this critical video, he wouldn’t have included that.
Speaking of race, Lemon talked about the war on drugs as if drug use was what led to mass incarceration, not the criminalization of drugs; and also that it was not influenced by racism even though it absolutely was.
This is in conjunction with his rather simplified understanding of school budgets, implying that we keep spending on students with no good results. Forgetting that school budget is heavily influenced by the wealth of your local zip code, not the wealth of your state, or the country overall.
Granted, this video is over 3 years old, and I’m willing to bet Lemon has changed his view on a lot of points mentioned here.
@Joshua Salem It also made me feel some type of way when he said the instead of caring about the poor or the sick people care about the ‘blacks and the gays’. Unless he said that in a kind of ‘people are pretending to care about black and lgbtq causes’, it was a little odd.

Just an observation. When I was 10 years old my Dad took me to the local fire dept. for a gun safety meeting by the NRA. I was taught about gun safety in a very understanding way for a child of my age. As a result of that I not only became a person who owns guns but I have taught many other people about gun safety. I even became a firefighter from that experience at the fire dept. To this day I don't understand it when I hear someone say" I don't like the NRA". Every experience I've had with the NRA has been very civil and easy going.

The problem with SA is that proving it one way or the other is really hard. From what I've seen it usually devolves into he said/she said scenario that's impossible to prove one way or the other with boths sides being suspect of lying for different motives. This makes it impossible to really know how much of this sort of thing is actually happening.

0 likesMay I ask something to fellow 2021 viewers - what does he mean when he says that preventing mass shootings is incredibly complex? I'm italian so I'm a bit out of your loop, but we do have gun control laws and have close to 0 mass shootings per year, so I know for certain that they work. This is not a loaded question btw, I'm genuinely curious to understand what are the difficulties in implementing a similar solution. I do have a feeling that some people confuse gun control laws with gun banning laws, however.
1 likeReplies (3)
Most americans have guns, and when you threaten them that they will take the guns then thats a threat. Lawmakers are banning ar's and smgs right now, so not really "control laws" i doubt they will go after the main hunting guns and protecting guns like pistols but if they do all hell will break loose. When you let people have guns for 250 years and take them away oh boy oh boy. And about the mass shooting part. they. will. never. stop. Its sad, i have no clue why people will do it, and the gun always gets the blame and not the owner.
2 likes@Svech37 Wait, I haven't seen any (serious) discussion on banning hunting rifles or guns for personal protection, or am I missing something? I've mostly seen suggestions of controls over gun owners, to check if you're "sane" and reasonable enough to carry a firearm, much like we have in italy.
0 likes"And about the mass shooting part. they. will. never. stop." ...wait, why? In italy we have close to 0 mass shootings, and it's just like this in any country with gun control laws, why would you say that?
"i have no clue why people will do it" there are very strong clues as to why people do it, almost all mass shooters have some sort of mental illness / instability, which to me seems like a fairly strong signal as to why gun control (rather than banning) would work well in preventing these disasters. A counter argument could be "someone being mentally ill doesn't necessarily mean that they're going to mass shoot, so you would restrict someone for no reason", which still seems like a farily weak argument, since we all already agree to do similar controls in other scopes like airplane driving, or any other situations where other people's lives can be at risk
@jackbot1992 i say they will never stop because of like what you mentioned people have messed up minds, they arent banning hunting/pistol guns only ar's smgs, might i add in only some states. not the full country but they are working on it. I dont know much how itatly's gun law is but id assume you guys only have pistols and standard riffles, not Assault Riffles and submachine guns blazzing
0 likesI love guns and hate the NRA. The NRA doesn't give a shit about gun rights. If they had their way, we'd be like the UK where guns are kept at clubs and ranges and only used for sport and hunting. The NRA would happily trade away your right to own a gun for a little more power and money.
2 likesAnd as for Mr. Kimmel's statement on guns, I'd love to own an M60, an RPG-7, and a fully imported AK-47. But I can't own any of those because they're all banned for your average citizen. To get the M60 and RPG, I'd have to pay thousands just for the right to own it before the thousands I'd have to pay for the gun itself. The AK is just flat out impossible to get here in the US (legally) unless I found a collector with a pre-ban willing to part with it for sane person money, which is about as likely to happen as me voting a liberal into office. But Jimmy here thinks I can walk down to the nearest 7/11, slap a wooden nickel and some used bubblegum on the counter, and walk away with an armory (only in a perfect world. . . ).

1 likedove too deep in the comments section, deeper than I've ever gone before. I don't know what purpose this comment serves, since the video is 3 years old and I even saw a few comments claiming that emplemon doesn't like this video as much anymore. But there are a few points that were made in this video, that I feel were less nuanced than they should have been.
12 likesIt's 2021, which means I have the luxury of speaking about this as a thing that happened in the past, and also with all the knowledge of the three years since this video was posted.
So firstly, did I hear correctly that he was claiming race relations and/or racism weren't a problem because obama was president? That almost sounds like someone trying to start crap with other people.
While it's true that no man wants to be seen as guilty of any kind of sexual assault, and most men if approached will loudly proclaim their disgust at the thought, there are still numerous accounts from women all over different parts of the internet, who've had an experience where a man made them feel unsafe in public, or in private, or touched them inappropriately, or coerced them into sexual activity. There are too many stories about people with lots of evidence against them still getting out of any charges or consequences. Sexual assault, in all its forms, is still an issue many women have to deal with. Not to mention male victims.
I really have never heard anyone say that white people are evil, or can't have problems, but those are claims I hear from people making slippery slope arguments about how the criticism of how white people act sometimes in relation to people of color will lead to white people being silenced or some garbage.
You had to have edited that clip right? The one where Barr says to vote if you want change, and then Kimmel supposedly calls her crazy?
There are other points in the video which come off as an oversimplification, like talking about how all liberals are crazy, where you seem to define 'liberal' as anyone who is trying to talk about social justice issues.

Yeah, I literally just did the same thing you did because this video's political slant is terrible. I hate Jimmy Kimmel, but this shit was so out and out bad I became more invested in the bad politics takes from Emp over the Jimmy Kimmel hate lol. It's just so naive. Like, who tf thinks race relations would really be solved if we stopped talking about it, or that since we had a black president racism was no longer a serious problem in America??? That liberal media is actually what keeps race being a huge issue, not racist laws being codified into the fabric of America's legal system. Or the idea that #metoo was a Hollywood problem, when it was started by a black woman outside of hollywood, and the stats show women are accosted in any setting, and that most rapes go underreported, undercharged, and unsolved.
6 likesOr that "peace with n Korea" was ever on the table lol. N Korea got to legitimize itself by getting that meeting. They had no intention of disarming or rejoining with S Korea.
Or even denying that Trump isn't a proto fascist who would totally seize power if he could, as we saw on 1/6.
This is the type of shit you say when you're 19, and you think you've got it all figured out and actually both sides are bad, and I'm gonna stay in the middle because that's actually where the truth is. Someone else in the comment said it best, even though they actually meant it as a compliment, that this video is better at redpilling people than most conservative commentators. And that's probably something he did not intend.
I'm glad I found your comment, considering the rest of the comments here just praised the video and said it "aged like fine wine." Nah bro, the video was spoiled the day it came out. Only accurate thing in it is that Jimmy Kimmel eats ass.

Arguably, they went down a similar route of radicalization through different means. I'm an independent and for that reason I like to argue for what is fair and minimally generalizing as possible. This isnt to say that there is a lot of liberals who do this though. God knows there are some who mindlessly fire at every movment he makes. However, it is a slippery slope to say all do because some times he does do things thst warrents resistance.

1 likeI agree about the celebrity thing. They do some messed up stuff that needs to be considered before promoting them on the show. To be fair though. What they do and what trump allegedly did in his past aren't of the same importance. When you choose to be president there is a higher moral standard put on you. Clebs should follow that too but no celebrity has more influence then the president. A hollywood star being seen doing questionable things is one thing but the president doing it is something totally different. Honestly, if it was one thing i think many could look the other way. Like with Clinton. Many wanted him to be reprimanded but not removed. With Trump, the problem is that it is a large amount of really questionable things. It makes it so it is hard to ignore. We have women growing up who need to have a moral leader to look up to who at least pretends to respect them. If I had a daughter I wouldn't be able to explain why trump, the person who should be their role model, is allowed to lead.
2 likesI know I'm 2 years late with this response but I watched this video when it came out and this is the 2nd time I'm watching it & I always kinda had a problem with your point about race relations. Disclaimer: this is probably gonna be kinda long & I'm mostly gonna talk about antiblack racism because I'm black and I can't speak for other experiences for POC. Listen, I don't expect Jimmy Kimmel to have a very deep and expanded understanding of racism in America. His understanding is pretty much: Trump bad, diversity good (diversity is good but that's not the only solution). Even if he did have some sort of deep knowledge of it, he'd probably just be censored as actual leftist politics could probably jeopardize someone's career in a place like Hollywood that has just now changed to a center to barely left image.
8 likesAnyway in the video you give the impression that racism isn't a big problem anymore because of the Civil Rights movement and Obama. I dont know if you actually belive that but thats just how it's portrayed in the video. Just because the Civil Rights movement happened and Obama was president for 2 terms doesn't mean that racism is solved or not as prevalent. Racism still exists, it just has a different face now. It's covert. You don't see people in KKK uniforms being praised by the public anymore, everything is kinda like dogwhistles now. An example would be that video of the racist woman in the park with her dog & how she threatened to call the cops on the black man recording her because he said dogs without a leash weren't allowed. She doesn't flat out say anything racist but the way she acts and speaks in the video is very coded. She knows that the cops would most likely take her side because she's white and also a woman. This is also why microaggresions are very much real and prevalent now. It's just very light and/or coded racism because like I said earlier, it's not trendy to be overtly racist anymore. Microaggresions that I go through alot are people telling me: "I talk and act white" because I don't speak in full blown AAVE (African American Venecular English), dress alternative, and don't only listen to rap. Or very weird comments about my hair not being the "good texture"
Also, systemic racism is a thing. Racism has been around for a very long time so in turn it affects every institution, system, etc. For example, have you ever thought about why black people tend to live in poorer conditions or not have as much money? It's because of systemic racism. I'm not saying that no black person can ever be rich or something. I'm saying that there are systems in place that make it harder to do so if you're black.
I agree that there are other problems in the world that isn't just racism but in the video it seems like you're diminishing just how big of a problem it is. We can still talk and find solutions for more than 1 problem.
It's been like 2 years so idk if you've changed your stance on this but I just wanted to make a comment about it. I agree with some of the video as some of it is still kinda relevant. & before someone asks, no I'm not a Democrat or liberal.

@Liar With A Gun @Liar With A Gun @Liar With A Gun I agree that the systems that we live in effect everyone and it's not just a racism issue. there's obviously still classism, mysoginy, homophobia, etc. But I was specifically talking about black people and racism because I felt that it was the main point I could really speak on since I'm black and it's just what I wanted to respond to based on the video. Systemic racism is the source for a lot of black peoples problem but it's obviously not the only one and it's a much more complex issue. Also, I didn't mention too much about white people because I'm not white and can't speak for white people.

You have one party that needs to have a better focus on politics.
But the other party nominates people who believe QAnon and doesnt allow their politicians to say the simple truth that trump won the election. Thats far worse than just some stupid liberal saying on twitter that only black people are poor. Its killing your democracy and you should recognize this.
Your whole system nearly collapsed in the beginning of 2021, yet your still not able to see what caused this - and its not just Trump, he just put gasoline in the already burning fire and showed everyone how dumb the average republican is to think this election was rigged and how far they'll go to hold on the power.
Liberals were joking 4 years about trump after "they" lost. A lot of republican voters tried to kill all of the politicians who simply accept the truth that trump lost. Thats a huge difference, objectively.
What I want to say is: be angry about stupid liberals and try to change their party - which certainly is possible. But dont forget that they are the far less evil in this country. The republicans are beyond change. You cant even say the plain truths without getting cancelled there

Black Panther matters more than Blade ever will because it shows that a movie can be commercially successful even if it's cast is 90% black. It gives young black kids around the world role models that look like them and the inspiration that naturally follows. Blade didn't really do that until Blade II, and even then, it wasn't a contemporary setting with things that kids could truly relate to. It's true that Blade did well commercially, but it never came close to having the cultural impact that Black Panther has had.

1 likeI WANT THEM TO MAKE A 2018 or 2019 Remake or at least HD version of the movie
Tracer Blade may very well have been incredibly popular in the comics, but teens growing up today are reading far less comics and watching far more movies and TV shows. Even if the blade comics were great, the movies didn't do him justice, and the depiction of the African American struggle in those movies isn't nearly as well done as it is in Black Panther. You can dislike Black Panther and not be racist, anyone saying otherwise is an extremist and, regardless of what it's related to, extremism is never good. People love Black Panther because the movie serves as a reason NOT to be extreme, that's literally the plot. The majority of people aren't freaking out the movies critics because they are "racist," it's just the extremists who take it that far. Ignorant people are often the loudest. Anybody telling you that black people can do no wrong is incorrect because all people, regardless of race, have the ability to do wrong. I don't know what media you watch to get the impressions you do, but I'd like to think that the media is less so trying to say that people of color are infallible, but rather that they aren't the only ones commiting crimes. I could go on about institutional race issues (disproportiate mass incarceration of non-violent low level black drug offenders despite equal usage rates among all races), but that isn't the point I'm making. My point is that Black Panther has made a cultural impact greater than the Blade franchise was able to do.

I’m a liberal but I’m not socialist, I don’t like Trump but I don’t think he’s the worst president ever, I like Biden but I don’t think he’s the best democrat candidate we could have gotten, and I have both conservative and centrist friends.

0 likesVery rarely? Leftists cried about the last election having Russian bias for the last four years, and now you want people to trust the voting process despite the media predominately leaning to the left? Funny funny.
@clerp they have every right to call the election, it’s not official of course but it’s practically guaranteed that Biden will win based on the lead he has in key states as well as the trend in incoming votes much preferring Biden.
0 likes@clerp in 2016 there was actual evidence to suggest vote tampering. It was investigated, and it was actually shown that Russia interfered. Not enough to change the votes in Trump’s favor, but there definitely was interference. This year, there is absolutely no evidence of any major voter fraud going on, the Trump campaign is only filing baseless lawsuits because they lost.

Their tactic is to fight racism . . . with more racism. And I applied your own logic against you in that “by that logic, all women and should be feminists and all blacks support BLM”.

Replies (7)
Those two things are just easy answers that people throw out when asked how to reduce gun violence. They don't work, but they've been repeated so many times people believe it without questioning it.
6 likesWell then, what does work?
0 likesCause I've heard some arguments (Fox) stating that what America needs to stop gun violence is MORE guns, which is just stupid of course.
Australia pretty much banned guns back in the 90s after a mass shooting. Haven't heard any news about shootings there since then.
Doesn't it stand to reason that
Less guns = less gun violence?
@Nico Legasto This is gonna be a long post but a few things link together and it gets complicated so please read all of it before responding.
9 likesThere are three types of gun deaths.
1)Suicide. This one makes up about 1/3 of the deaths, and while tragic, it can't be blamed on guns. Yes it is the most effective way to do it and there's no turning back, but guns are not the actual issue in these deaths.
2) justified self defense. Pretty self explanatory. These are instances where a gun saves a life.
3) murders and assaults: these are the main argument against gun ownership and what I'll be focusing on.
4) accidental. This one's pretty easy. More education. Maybe replace sex Ed with firearm safety classes? God knows sex Ed doesn't do anything.
Ok let's understand who what and where the shootings occur. The overwhelming majority of (non self defense) shootings that take place have 4 things in common.
1)They happen in low income neighborhoods. Usually ghetto and the projects and typically turf for gangs.
2)The people involved in the shootings are part of a violent and illegal organization. Gangs, cartels, etc.
3) the shootings occur with already illegally owned guns. Whether that be stolen, built or bought on the black market.
4) The overwhelming, vast majority are done with pistols
And that third and fourth point is where I argue more guns laws will do nothing to stop gun violence. We HAVE laws that stop it. They are already being broken. The people that walk into a gun store and buy a rifle commit murders so infrequently, that it's a statistical rounding error. And pistols, are by far the most heavily restricted gun. The majority of states require you to be 21, and pass two separate background checks before you can buy one. But that clearly isn't working, because again, pistols make up the overwhelming majority of murders.
The guns are getting stolen, and used to kill people, bypassing any laws that stop people from buying them. And with this many guns and owners in the US, it's not exactly hard to steal one. And don't believe any gun owners are willing to turn them in. Research buy back program success.
So my solution? There's not a perfect one. But a great place to start is funding lower income neighborhoods and community programs to keep people off the streets.
But I can say for sure more intrusive gun laws won't work.
@HeadGlitch This. Is one of the most reasonable takes I have read in quite a while.
5 likesdid you watch the video? he literally states the reasons why, you also don't understand that most guns arent sold legally and therefore no background checks can occur and sure, laws might have a slight effect but it isn't worth buying back the guns when many of them are illegal (and yet again they're illegal so impossible to track or run bg checks)

3 likesThe United States has been dominated by two parties, one that ranges from centre-right to moderate right, and another that ranges from moderate-right to far-right, and both have been moving rightward as time goes on. Like, the mainstream Democratic Party is vehemently opposed to Bernie Sanders because they view him as too far left, despite the fact the man is a damn moderate, a Social Democrat.
Prior to Sanders, the last time the United States even had any political movement that was left of centre was when MLK was talking about how the United States needed to take a revolutionary step away from capitalism and towards socialism, way back in the 60s, and it didn't even have a party to represent it. By comparison, MLK was to the left of Sanders.
The United States, as a nation that is safely in the hands of two right-wing parties, both of whom do everything they can to maintain power in the hands of the rich and already powerful, doesn't have a problem with factionalism. Both parties are on the same side.
I don't care if Jimbo Jones keeps talking about politics, but the moment he tries to steal JoJokes is when it gets personnel kids.

2 likesIf you internalize that people are rich, successful, happy, or content because of x, y, z that you can't control, you just gave up on your own independence because you just accepted that no matter what you do you are completely incapable of satisfying yourself. I think pushing scapegoating is disgusting and pacifies the public (the scapegoat and the escaped goat) from actually believing in themselves or taking responsibility for their life. It makes it harder for people to take themselves seriously and make something of their life by trying to name away their problems. Regardless of whether it's true that society is jaded against you for some discriminatory reason, don't let that feeling of helplessness get to you because you have to believe that you are capable and DESERVE to be content and accept yourself independently of what society, or culture, or anybody makes of you. At the end only you have control over your own motivation, work ethic, and attitude, so why not choose to have a mindset that will keep you growing and pushing forward rather than settling that it's impossible for you to meet your own expectations? There are fucked up people in the world who make life harder for others but if you take yourself seriously, you might actually have a standing chance at demonstrating that what the world, society, or anyone says about you doesn't define you. Make the choice to define yourself.

1 likeJimmy Fallon had to eventually hop on the train of bashing Trump. I seriously don't think it was something that he wanted to do but, had to do to keep the ratings up. Hating on Trump eventually became pop culture. Even after his presidency it's still mainstream to bash him.

-If you change any gun law, GOOD LAW ABIDING gun owners are punished and nothing changes.

Yes, the gun argument is a lot more nuanced. But that nuance is not allowed, and you are perpetuating that lack of nuance with your horseshit take on a problem that is unique to the United States. For not liking the NRA, you sure seem to be carrying their water by turning the OTHER side into screaming extremists. What crap.

Or landlords who literally buy properties to raise the price of property to be too high for average Americans so they are forced to rent and spend vastly more money on borrowing a house they can basically get kicked out of any time than they would on their own home if land lords didnt exist. That's some real innovation right there.
1 likeLizzy Trip The first example, that being South Korean Internet providers, shows innovation as they are out competing they’re American counterparts through quality of service and pricing. The second example could lead to innovation if other landlords provide lower costs and higher quality of service in order to outcompete their more stingy counterparts. However, if there is a trust or a monopoly of sorts in that part of the market, than yes there won’t be any innovation since there isn’t competition. Remember, I’m taking about a free market, not unrestricted Capitalism.

Australia never had such an privilege granted by its government to the rest of it's citizens become a right therefore it was easier to put the restrictions
Rights are guarantees from the government that it must provide to it's citizens, a privilege is something that you are offered in good faith
That's why it's so difficult to offer up changes, there has only ever been one change to an existing amendment (the 18th prohibition) and even then it was extremely difficult and time consuming
So you can imagine trying to downgrade a right into a privilege will be met with intense scrutiny and criticism from all sides

Put an ethnic sounding name on your application and apply for the same job you have. You're 60% more likely to not get a callback. While saying you're racist for not understanding how the average white person gets a leg up is far over exaggerated, saying white people have no advantages is inaccurate. Though the real thing that is disadvantaging most people of color is lack of- and denial of intergenerational wealth. (Another note- poor white people are also often hit by the same things that disadvantage communities of color. Racism isnt as much of a problem as class divide.)

1 likeLook, I don't like trump and all the stuff he has done, but I also don't like hearing and talking about the guy I don't like. And all this "so and so won and now so and so people are mad" can be said for both sides. MSNBC, Fox news, they are both contributing somewhat to the divisions of these current times. This sort of paranoia is the effect on 20th century war and how no one wins in a war. The cold war is a major time when Americans started to become more paranoid, but the full effects of decades of war started I 2016. When the election tipped the Americans of the cliff of separation and paranoia. These news channels and TV shows are the people who help divide us and profit off of it. And I think emp lemon's political opinion towards the trump side can show how a man who tries to show facts instead of opinion could half of Americans liberals or racist. I don't really get butt hurt over what a random dude calls me, but the comment section of this video is just a battlefield of red vs. blue, "racists" vs. "liberals" it's just a mess how f#cked up the American people have no trust with one another, "I mean why would I trust my president if I can't even trust my local Karen to wear a piece of fabric to stop a BIOLOGICAL WAR."
1 likeI agree with most of the sentiments in this video, but the comment about representation is the exception. Representation of minorities in media is important because we're fucking sick of media pretending we just don't exist. It's nice to actually see a character that we can relate to rather than the same exact straight white people as always.

What do you mean relate too? There is no difference between white and black people.
0 likes@Boy Yoi Yes, there is. Barring the obvious physical differences, there are also cultural differences.
2 likesOn top of that, I'm not only talking about racial minorities. I'm trans and it's fucking infuriating that popular media still acts like we don't fucking exist.

Alright, if in my favourite film, there is no blonde hair blue eyes guy, am I being misrepresented? Don't you think, that there is a problem, where media tries to shove minorities just so they are there?

I'm sick of any division, I'm fucking sick and tired of every ounce of this bullshit and either way if I vote I would feel that I would be outnumbered by a million fucking dumbasses on both opposite sides of the spectrum and that I would be caught between cyborg lizard cthulu monster in human flesh Hillary or sort of brash and isolationist Trump that really ain't what I want either. It's like "Do you wanna die by every nail and limb on your body slowly removed until you slowly bleed out or would you like every bone being trampled on my elephants?" either way it's fucking painful.

A transition can be made back to democracy once our immediate problems are addressed and the system is fixed. Might take several decades before that though.

0 likes@Vox3l-Gl1tch I try not to talk about politics in my everyday life because very few people understand. Here's an example for you. All the presidents have been puppets, handpicked by the puppetmasters - owners and top management of multinational corporations and other members of the 1%.
0 likesSecret societies with ancient roots have persisted to this day and have planned and orchestrated every event in our nations history as well as events around the globe. They consolidate power and wealth and are the source of our income inequality, especially here in California. They control politics with their wealth and influence.
Voting is a joke. They control the whole voting pool. No party is trustworthy. The masters won't let anyone into their political administration who isn't a verified, handpicked member of their group. I doubt they would even be allowed to run for office if their views were too extreme.
These are my theories on the US political system and the reason why I don't vote.
@Vox3l-Gl1tch I'll be honest with you though, I voted for the first time last year for the California governor. My grandmother really wanted me to. It was Gavin Newsom vs John Cox.
0 likesNewsom didn't write anything on the voting book, but Cox had an incredibly moving and inspiring short essay that blew me away. Being stoned at the time, I vibed with it so thoroughly that I wept. I felt like the illuminati had read my mind. "How could this be?", I thought.
They had to be using big data collection systems that have been collecting over the years to try and pick candidates that are more aligned to the target demographic they are trying to reach and manipulate. I'm actually a digital marketer, and the similarity between marketing and politics is disturbingly similar.
Either way, i voted. And I voted for State and local propositions for the first time too. I will NOT vote for president though.
@Vox3l-Gl1tch BTW you'd be surprised how many business owners actually agree with me. And if they don't, I know when to shut my mouth and just play the game. That's how I thrive as a professional without compromising my beliefs. I just slowly feel things out. One business owner thoroughly agreed with me and even showed me evidence that 9/11 was perpetrated by the US government.

0 likesI don't understand why gun fetishists have this idea that unless a solution 100% abolishes all gun crime forever across the nation, it's not a worthwhile solution. As if such a solution could ever exist. Like, yes, obviously people would still find a way to get guns if guns were banned, but the vast majority of mass shootings are committed by legal gun owners, who did not go crazy and buy guns to kill people but rather decided to use them since they had immediate access. It's unlikely that they would be willing to risk buying guns off the black market if that immediate access did not exist.
7 likesTo say that a banning of gun sales to ordinary civilians would not reduce the number of mass shootings per year in the country would be absurd and patently untrue. Factually, yes: there WOULD be a reduction. And that's all people are asking for. It's just not the solution that you want, because it takes away YOUR privilege. Ask yourself which is more important: helping to prevent the deaths of hundreds if not thousands of innocent people every year including children, or being able to own such a tool of destruction yourself, for the sake of "the safety of your family"? (Hint: You don't actually care about that. You just want a gun because you like guns, guns are cool, and you get off on the idea of being John McClaine.)
Don't get me wrong, gun violence IS a complex issue born out of all the things EmpLemon mentioned, but solving all of those things would take a complete societal restructure. It would take probably 50 years to solve things like gang violence and poverty, and that's being extremely generous. But banning guns and taking guns away from civilians who don't have a hunting license, and aren't/weren't military or law enforcement? We could do that overnight.

If just 1% of them decide to fight back, well now they have an army equal to the 765k state and local and 115k federal police with arrest powers. Whose morale will break first in that situation? Cops arent robots, theyre living human beings with families who didnt sign up for that. Eventually theyll just quit or outright refuse to do it. Then what?

2 likesYou use the military on US soil and then it becomes a civil war. Thats illegal and youre using the military against the american people en mass to violate the 2nd amendment, which was put in place to allow the people to fight back. The number of gun owners fighting back would be well over 1% at that point. Not to mention that most military would eventually betray the ones telling them to do that, since many of those who understand the importance of guns were in the military.
All that tech would be useless. You cant enforce a police state with drones or tanks, youd need soldiers on street corners to do it. We ran into this gigantic issue in Iraq and afganistan.
Lets not even get into the logistical and geographical nightmare that would be. The US is very big and very spread out.
A lot of gun grabbers fail to understand the absolute number of guns in the US and the mentality of many gun owners. They fail to understand that enforcement of those laws requires people and theres a limit to what those people will put up with. There is no more well armed group of people in the history of mankind than the US citizenry. It isnt even close. Even the most well armed military on earth, the US military with about 3 million guns is still outnumbered 100 to 1 in terms of total weapons. They might have better weapons but they have much fewer numbers and theyd be stuck in a situation where they dont know who is civilian and who isnt.
Molon labe "come and take them" is the mentality many hold
"You and what army" is the truth of the matter. Are YOU going to go up into the woods and root them out?
I dont want that to happen. Banning guns would kill way more people than it could ever save.

0 likes@Matias Araya it's due to how our nation was founded. We had to rebel against Britain to gain independence because the british government was tyrannical.

0 likes@Matias Araya the media is terrible here, the news is very political biased and they exploit mass tragedies to support their political agendas. Talk Shows also have the same problem. The problem in America is that the media is political biased, (both rep and dems) which leads to a them vs us mentality, which in turn leads to extremism. AKA, nobody compromises in this country and its hurting this country for the worst. This would normally not be a problem because the mainstream media is dying, but for some reason silicon valley companies like Facebook, Google, twitter, etc. bend the knee to the media.

Offended? Well why would you be? It would save many lives at the expense of Muslims living here. I’m not saying we should, I’m making a valid point. And I would love to see whoever you refer to as “we” taking away others guns like it’s soo easy “overnight”. It would be the the biggest outbreak of civil war this country has ever seen. Why don’t we ban cars? Cars kill people more than anything ever right now. “Ohhh maybe we should make people get a license” yep, we have laws and regulations now and the fatality rate is still higher than guns. You think that if you do the same, it’s gonna help a lot? Again I don’t agree with banning cars either but it is a valid point. And why do you trust the government so much? Law enforcement? Seriously? And the whole purpose of the right is to defend ourselves from the tyranny of the military or law enforcement.

3. I can also agree here, hunting isn't as much of a necessity these days but ruling it out as some ancient technique that's useless is just ignorant. There are so many more lessons that people can be taught by hunting. It's a timeless practice and one that shouldn't be discouraged, as long as it's legally performed. Definitely some middle ground to be reached here.
4. Guess you never heard of how the US started? British soldiers, British king overstretching his rule on British citizens, overly taxing British colonists, firing upon British civilians... yeah it's what sparked our country to be what it is so writing this off as well is just ignoring history.

0 likesRegarding 30:18 , while I see where you're coming from in a lot of things, don't confuse the importance of how fiction can influence the real world. Writers and directors, animators and audio designers have to take into account culture of the times with their movies.

Jimmy Kimmel is just one of many dickheads in the bunch, don't screw up his commentary with real commentary in fictional movies.

Never really bothered me, it's Hollywood. He wasn't funny, though. He just made some shitty joke about something I can't remember.
It's weird, because he and my dad both share this anti-Trump hatred. There's no real logic behind it, either. It feels like this sorta situation where it's just "trendy" to hate Trump. That's modern television. Colbert has ran into this same issue where his jokes are just based on Trump. What happened to comedy? Why is everything so goddamn political?
I've had this on my mind for a while and I felt like bringing it up here.
Incidentally, my dad also wouldn't stop parroting everything Kimmel said. He'd record every episode on DVR and I guess he just listens to him (also to see his own work on it which I guess I can't blame him on).
I don't speak to my father for personal reasons, but if I ever do end up talking to him again, I'll probably show him this video, lol.

You know how YouTubers kinda keep doing the same shit over and over and get loads of views because of that? That's the same effect we're seeing here. Trump gets made fun of because he's a brash President who isn't afraid to speak his mind.
24 likesI have to say, this entire video hits the nail on the head with everything here. I agree 100% with it. Like EmpLemon, I'm not even a fan of Trump, but people aren't willing to give the dude a chance when he actually does something within reason and logical. Because it's Trump, they wanna make fun of him because he seems to be some sort of poster boy for "hate speech", whatever the fuck that entails.
I've lived around shit like that for years, I know exactly where that was going with it. Like my dad and Kimmel, who would praise Obama and talk about how amazing of a president he was, wouldn't ever get as angry or as condescending about Obama, but for Trump, that's out the window. Why be tolerant if he's a bigot?
On that note, too, it's especially weird how Hollywood seems to chastise you if you have even a remotely conservative opinion/praise for someone like Trump.
It's an industry of flip-floppers who will do whatever they can to bring in financial restitution.

0 likesI remember really loving Jimmy Kimmel growing up. But I think that was more because he was a better complimentary personality to others like Adam Carolla. Kimmel was great at being the sensible everyman in those bits, and seemed to be more along for the ride than commanding the show. But over the last two decades, he hasn't had anyone to play off of. As a solo act, Kimmel just isn't that funny. I figured his late night show would end just a couple years in, but, I'm about as surprised as everyone else who grew up watching him. It seemed pretty obvious just how much of a downturn Jimmy's quality took when he made the show mostly about himself, those of us already familiar with his potential and brand of comedy were eagerly awaiting his inevitable boot from a format that didn't fit him at all.
0 likesBut it never happened.
So now in his effort to clamor for credibility among a new demographic of people, he's taken to grasping for sanctimoniously condescending bleeding-heart pandering. The very uncouth humor that made him a household name was now easy fodder to paint Jimmy a smarmy hypocrite, effectively killing his standing among those who created his television legacy. By refusing to die a hero, he became an embarrassment.

2 likesI feel like this separation of "liberal" issues vs "real" issues, as you put it, is kind of a false dichotomy and is a bit class reductionist. No, more diverse representation in movies won't lower the sea levels, but nobody is saying it will. It's more of a "why not?" issue, since it doesn't cost too much, and at least IMO, racism even at the most subconscious level is directly tied to the class division issues. Corporations love using racism to keep the masses divided and to give them a "slave" population they can exploit in the prison industrial complex. While stopping microaggressions won't stop this from happening, it's just one more cultural shift that we all conscientiously take part in with little cost to our lives.

3 likes@Blaze404 No, I think that's fine.
6 likesI was thinking more about how while both sides of the political aisle still suck and have definitely gotten worse in regards to corruption and partisanship, it's the Trump stuff that hasn't aged quite well in my eyes. Sure, I agree with the sentiment that one should support their president no matter what party they belong to, but when said president has done so much to erode my trust in him, I think it's reasonable to speak out against him.
As an example, there's the January 6th riot. Now, while I don't think Trump's main goal was to incite it, he was definitely neglectful in the sense that he knew he had a rabid fan base and should have worded his speech more carefully to prevent it from happening. And the fact that he didn't say what they did was wrong showed me he was either happy or apathetic that his followers attempted to prevent a basic democratic process from happening.
It should be said though that I fucking despise Jimmy Kimmel and his Trump-bashing is annoying as hell. Plus, I agree with the fact that late night hosts were very leech-like with how they jumped on the hate Trump bandwagon. But the message I got from this video was that any criticism levied at Trump is bad, which I don't agree with.
(this turned into a rant, I apologize)

6 likesI agree. I think race relations are still quite an issue and, while I think some examples are still preachy, virtue-signally drek, my opinion on representation in media has softened a little bit, so I disagree with this video in some areas NOW.

Also, all the “real” issues Emp mentioned are totally still problems and he’s right on the money about how labels are worsening the problem.

25 likesIt's also a bit upsetting that you downplayed the amount of racists in our nation while hyping up what appeared to be aNtIfA and saying that there's FAR TOO MANY of them.
Again, I see what you're getting at, but there are some less than ideal conflations going on in the fine print of the video.
And one more thing, claiming that you aren't promoting an ideology does not exclude you from politically-based criticism. The majority of the content of the video is political and potentially incendiary in nature, so it's not fair to just say, "But don't @ me," and expect that to invalidate any oncoming critique.
Just a few thoughts to consider, and I do wonder what your thoughts are on the video now two years later. All the best.

That'd be due to the coaxial cable acting as an "Over the Air" antenna of sorts, you could unironically use a length of metal wiring or coat hanger and receive some form of signal reception if it's in the right sweet spot areas for local TV stations.
1 likeEffectively the more favorable thing is that you happen to be within one of these "goldilocks" zones that still exist in 2021, as many over the air signals now require at least a preamplifier to continue to receive a signal that just ten years ago they would have but no longer can due to the broadcasting and rebroadcasting services/stations slowly going away year by year.
Over the Air still has a good number of unique broadcasts that won't ever really see the light of day on the internet even in this day and age which is crazy to think about.
I see your point when you talk about liberals swarming to channels bashing Trump because I was one of those types of viewers. I realized that just taking in negative information or getting stimulation from people who bash Trump is not healthy viewing. I personally don't like Trump but I'm not going push that personal belief onto others because it won't change anything. I see people supporting Trump but I'm not gonna bash anyone for supporting him because it's not my business to do so.

1 likeWhile I agree with much of this video, especially in describing Jimmy Kimmel's lack of originality and humor, there is also plenty about it that doesn't sit well with me.
4 likesIt's just my opinion, and I don't expect many to agree with me, but what this video feels like is a way to use Jimmy's shortcomings to poke and prod at a political philosophy that you don't agree with. This just about stopped being about Kimmel mid-way through the video.
Political agenda is the ugliest, most cringeworthy topic to discuss anywhere. Because for those of us who just want to see this country prosper, it's impossible to align fully with one side or another. It's more "pick the lesser of the evils" than "this person wants to help us become better".
That said, political discussion is something American citizens won't ever be able to shake, that will continue to be divisive among the citizens, and that will never be met in the middle.
The fact that Kimmel harps on politics so much is cringy, but so was hearing a rant about our country's increasingly divisive viewpoints and the finger pointing at one side or the other being the problem, in a video meant to point out one man's flaws.
Not one of my favorite videos from you, respectfully. But again, this is just my opinion.

EmpLemon was mainly showing the huge contradictory and hypocritical aspects of Jimmy Kimmel and other celebrities, and how much he believed it all to be wrong and shameful. That's the main thing I'd like other celebrites to know. If just one influential person could realize this and not act with hypocrisy and trend-joining, maybe people would be more inspired to treat each other better :D

Unfortunately if there are (I have to believe someone is smart enough to see through the facade), they are afraid to come out and say it. They'll be ostracized and cannibalized (not literally) by their peers. The industry they are in is one of the ugliest and most disgusting industries in America while also being self-serving and self-fellating. Look how long they kept rape and abuse victims from coming out. Anything that would shake the system is seemingly beaten back as much as possible, unless they can spin it into something that benefits them (to be fair most Corporations do that). I am sure there are people who really did care about the abuse victims, and credit to them for standing up for the victims, but when I see a movie coming about Weinstein just a few months after the revelations I stop and question what are the motives. Unfortunately it feels like its another pat on the back, look how progressive movie we are (same with The Post). Blah.

But anyone who knows and cares about these problems are just completely ignored unless it's someone from within the industry, and even then there's still an extremely low chance of being heard.

ChordsBoy It's going to take the younger generation coming together in spite of their disagreements to get through this and make change. People thing other people are the enemy, but in reality this country was fought for and formed by the people, for the people. All we really have is each other when our politicians, who we are deciding to elect, fail. Of course, the corporations are a big problem, too, and that requires people to support locally rather than buying what's cheapest. All of it is such a massive issue, and it gives me anxiety nearly every day, but, again, if we can stop pretending there are barriers between people and just work every day, together, have meaningful discussions and reasonable debates, it is possible. A lot of people just aren't even trying to thing for themselves unfortunately, and that is another contributing factor to the situation. But hey, at least you and I could talk openly and transparently despite being so detached from one another on the internet. And that has to count for something.
2 likesJNK117 Well said, man. Us reasonable people gotta stick together to hopefully enlighten others on the dangers of hate and detachment. I hope we can all do that, as a community :D
0 likesBut those are some serious problems you mentioned. Big corporations have a sort of semi-monopoly that only happened because of brilliant ideas that eventually devolved into money making machines. YouTube is such an example, and it's pretty unfortunate that they decided to mainly appeal to advertisers, and not the content creators. But that's besides the point.
This is just my opinion, but I really don't think that you should feel anxiety over the state of the world. All the chaos and societal issues should inspire you to change what's wrong! I try to do so online by attempting to be super positive about things that people talk about, and encouraging peace in those interactions. Don't get me wrong though. There are certainly times where I'm completely unable to do anything about an issue that frustrates me, but just getting the message across to try to make people more aware certainly makes at least someone think.
Also, just a side note, but your description of people's perceptions of each other definitely apply so much for me in high school. It seems to be an especially big problem with teenagers, but I still try my best to make friends xD

We all can see a clear trend in the whole world:
The separation of society.
In a good discussion, it should not make a difference who brings the argument, instead all the points should be brought on the table and out of those points, a conclusion should be made.
But in the world we live in right now, it doesn't matter which point is brought to the table, just WHO the person is that said it.

Guys like you also want *insert most horrific political statement you can think of someone of your political side has said before here*.
The result is that you are standing still. Nobody is talking about the real issues anymore, so the problems keep beng unsolved. And as the problems keep being unsolved, the dissatisfaction of the people increases, and opens the way for radicalization.
I want to encourage everyone who is reading this to have more political discussions again. And with that, i dont mean spouting strawman arguments in each other's faces.
Please sit together with your family and friends, and ask them how they view the world, and let them speak to the end, even though you might not be their opinion.
I have the strong belief that communication prevents separation.
Also ask yourself if you have blocked people out of your life because they have certian opinions about certain topics you don't agree with.
What i wanna say is that it is so easy to lose yourself in the bubble of agreement that you completely lose the understanding for everyone who does not share your thoughts.
Try to keep that in mind.

they just say that to right wingers until the conservatives actually listen and give way to whatever demands they have - it's so shallow and spineless of a tactic of the left to do this, but the problem is that unfortunately it actually works sometimes, and when it works enough, our current state of blindingly left-biased u.s.a. media and this 2020 election is what happens as a result.

0 likes@clerp Lets be honest here, they all do that to some degree. Donald Trump and the conservatives have not done their best to solve that separation problem either and i have the feeling like it got much worse in the last 4 years. Come to think of it... many politicians seem to have unlearned the skill to discuss and make compromises in general, and just switched to blaming the other side and call it a day.
0 likesIt is not only an american problem either, i can observe this in austria as well, and it annoys the hell out of me.
@Jack Farns I think it boils down to some core points most of us just do not get (please correct me if im wrong with anything, im not american obviously):
0 likes- Public Health Care: Not even the rightest of our right winged parties argue that it is a bad idea to have a public health care system, and it has proven as a good concept to battle inequality in many countries. Americans seem to have a strong dislike of this kind of system.
- Guns: All kinds of guns are banned here. If you want to legally have one, you have to go through a long and expensive licensing process. Getting one illegally is possible but pretty hard. I am sure this gun problem is complex, but by looking at gun violence statistics i can see that countries with less public gun possession have less gun violence, surprise.
- Two Party System: To have only two major parties sure leads to some problems, in my mind. Society is much more complex than just "left" and "right" and if you only have the choice between two sides, they can basically do whatever the want to, just because they are NOT the other side, and there will be a bunch of people sticking with them for only that reason.
@Derpeon ok, imma respond to this with my more right leaning American perspective.
0 likesPublic health care: I think we will eventually have a system for this, but right now, I am concerned with how we would pay for it. In addition to payment, wait times in a lot of countries result in some deaths because of a lack of treatment. Also we are concerned that our standard of healthcare will go down, as I believe if you have the money, you should be able to pay for better healthcare and quicker times. That being said, a baseline free healthcare for everyone would be fine with me as long as it was done smartly, which I don’t trust our government to do. It also could deincentivize people to remain healthy. In addition, healthy people would pay more to get healthcare for unhealthy people, like if someone is super fat and cannot move or work, healthy people would be paying for that persons healthcare, costing them more than it would otherwise. I don’t really have a problem with it if it’s done in a smart manner, but I have little trust in our government.
Guns: I see absolutely no reason not to have guns. Violent crime actually increases when you take out an armed populace, as they cannot protect themselves. Also some of the areas in the US with the strictest gun regulations also have the most gun related deaths. I don’t even own a gun; but I’d rather have an armed populace than an unarmed one. If you remove guns totally, gun violence goes down, but knife violence and other stuff would increase to fill it or even have more.
Two party system: if we didn’t have a two party system, the multi parties would likely still split among the same lines (conservative and liberal), although a more specialized group would have more control. However, the two party system I agree is bad. I don’t know what to do to change it though as they have a stranglehold on politics.
I’d also like to point out many of our politicians are corrupt and they don’t care about us, like McConnell, Pelosi, and Kamala Harris.
What are your thoughts on Universal Basic Income and the lack of free speech in many European countries?
This is just my opinion, but to me it seems like Europeans bash us while not understanding the full complexities of our situation while having many of their own problems in their respective countries. We are looked at as ignorant racists, but not all of us are. We are probably no more ignorant than any European populace and maybe more racist in terms of laws and systematic oppression, but I do not believe the people themselves are more racist.
I would love to hear your responses to this and offer insight about how your public health system works, as I think it could work.

Before Trump became President, Oliver did a segment on how Trump marketed/branded his name. He goes on about how the name "Trump" sounds strong, stern, etc. He then explains that the ancestral name of "Trump" was "Drumpf". Drumpf means dim-witted or some shit like that. Oliver ended his segment, urging his viewer to refer to Trump as Drumpf and to _"Make Donald Drumpf, Again". Oliver then provided a link to a google extension that changed any word of "Trump" on the browser to "Drumpf"

He calls her crazy even though she was saying reasonable things, and doesn't give a reason as to why. He uses is as an offhand comment, as the butt of a joke. Because he doesn't WANT to have a conversation. Because that's not what these shows are about. If you have a conversation like that, you're not playing to what your audience wants out of their entertainment. What they want out of their entertainment (in this case) is to sit down after a hard day and just have a good time, which I think is reasonably. The problem is that now people have started to find so much enjoyment and pride in what they believe politically that now all you need to keep someone entertained is stroke that ego. And it's just a vicious cycle, because people want that ego to be stroked so they watch those shows again, and get even more entrenched. You see this with both sides of politics, people are just getting so entrenched into what they believe politically that they aren't willing to have an actual conversation or even come up with their opinions themselves.

The extreme ones are the outspoken ones, which makes the rest of the more moderate liberals (the ones that don't talk about politics as much) seem toxic to the right. This is also true of the right: KKK members vote for Donald Trump and the left absolutely loses its collective mind; it's not all or even most Republicans but the left still sees the most outspoken ones as representing the whole party. I strongly oppose the riots that are happening at colleges and such and I really wish people would talk more about the real issues like the ones you brought up in the video. Also I've never watched Jimmy Kimmel but I'm pretty sure he doesn't care what he has to say as long as he gets what he wants... Just like Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton imo.

>We need to better the education system in a way that doesn't involve puking money at it because that's not working. Now consider Denmark, in which teachers are on the same tier as doctors as far as public respect and education go.
>Speaking of education, the idea that we can somehow miraculously bring back coal and other factory and industry jobs is ridiculous and we need to focus more time on individualizing education.
>The thing that gets me the most is that a lot of the things I mentioned earlier have already been implemented in Europe and are doing really well. The standard of living in the US is leagues behind the rest of the civilized world and we're all scratching our heads as to why.
>Bernie Sanders was fucked over by Clinton's shenanigans so I wouldn't say I'm pleased with the DNC or a democrat, just liberal-minded.
Did I cover everything? I'm not saying conservative-minded people have dumb or completely invalid opinions, not even close. Obviously, they wouldn't even exist if Republicans were completely wrong in literally every way possible.
Tl;dr you asked me my reasons why I am a liberal, and I gave them to you.
It’s not as uncommon as you think for women to be harassed in the same way hollywood stars harass them. The power dynamic that allows assault and rape exists outside of hollywood. So, it is more of a men’s issue than hollywood issue. However, i’m not saying it’s a men’s issue and a men’s issue only, for this power dynamic can apply for women in states of power, that situation is more unlikely, but not impossible and shouldn’t be overlooked. I understand what you were saying by calling it a hollywood issue but saying that women outside of hollywood don’t get harassed or assaulted is just incorrect.

19 likesChrist yall are basic. The whole idea of “stop talking about racism” is that stat quo good. This mentality infers that George Floyd wasn’t killed out of racial motives, because racism doesn’t exist, so if we just ignore the problem it’ll go away. That’s a luxury you can only afford if you haven’t been harassed by cops before. Your solution is that people should stop complaining about things because they’re already fine; if everyone sticks their head in the sand then the problem goes away.
23 likesNot to say that the avg liberal’s pretty lazy when it comes to pushing stuff like better education in poor neighborhoods or decreasing the length of drug sentencing in america. Changing those things would put a lot of people born at a disadvantage more leeway and opportunity to move up in society and not end up in prison and become a second class citizen. A lot of people stop at reposting a black square on instagram or pushing for more representation in media.
When people push for petty easy to agree with rhetoric and blow it out of proportion like it’s the biggest problem, people will start to think it’s the biggest problem. The worst problem with gay people in america isn’t representation, it’s gay + trans people getting lynched and kicked out on the street for what they choose to do with their bodies. It’s massively influential people like Jk Rowling manipulating people into seeing changing one’s gender as a disease that must be purged.

The dichotomy of identity politics vs class politics is the biggest debate in the academic left and think you got it spot on. Theres a decent philosophical insight on the Society of the Spectacle and the recuperation of social justice movements in pop culture which essentially incorporates the counter culture into the mainstream for profit, which actually devalues the ideas and makes them look hypocritical and preachy.

0 likesThis could've been a good video, but it's sadly colored by Emp's own biased and selective views. He presents issues like gun control as being overly complicated and that it's not as simple as banning guns, then waves away complicated topics like racism and north korea(trust me, there's a reason NK has heavy anti-american propaganda, read history) and essentially shames or essentializes ideas who espouse otherwise as having some liberal bias or whatnot.
8 likesAlso that segment with Kimmel telling women to feel what's in his pants, yeah I gotta admit that isn't a good look at all, and that even if it's not rape, it is still abusing his position as a celebrity. But what doesn't sit right with me is this is framed to make him look like a hypocrite after the harvey weinstein thing...sorry, but these two things are not at all equivalent in severity. It's just not the same.
But regardless, even if you 100% agree with Emp's views and 100% disagree with mine, that's fundamentally not the point in the first place. If the premise of the video was framed such that Kimmel is wrong because he's a dumb libtard and I'm right, then it'd be fair. But what Emp here did was, argue about Kimmel inserting his own bias and lecturing into these political issues, and how out of place and insufferable the presence of that may be in a late night show...but then while framing it like this, he attacks Kimmel's argument head on as if the premise was instead that the problem is Kimmel's ideas themselves are bad. It's frankly disingenuous and subtle manipulation.
You're essentially trying to say, "he is bad because his arguments/ideas are bad" and yet also "he is bad because he brings these topics when unneeded and lectures on them", this allows the former to be fed to the viewers while they are under the illusion of the latter, letting their guard down. This whole approach is wrong. You have ironically actually argued against your own point in doing this, because what you expect out of Kimmel, even you are unable to do so. Can't take this seriously.

5 likes@Luna Y Sol then what is your point here exactly?, i mean, everyone here just tell me "lul you triggered" while been totally uncapable of defending conservatives for their stupid behaviour of this last years.
1 like@Fco Omega Well not all conservatives think the way you want them to or what you imagine them as. You made a terrible generalization and a strawman you attacked when it wasnt necessary. You're constantly getting baited and cussing showing you care about something. Hell you just got baited and used a strawman, showing you still care. Conservatives are human. Now most conservatives are either tolerant and ignore or condemn the openly racist conservatives. Who is it to dictate which ideology is morally right or wrong. Of course liberals will think conservatives are morally wrong and vice versa. Now factually right is mostly liberals and some conservatives. But factually right in what subject? Depends. Either way you put these conservatives in a box that they all probably dont fit in. People are politically diverse in economics, immigration, war stance and all that. Now you argued and bashed on Centrists but they dont take a side but take a standpoint. I do wish I knew what the centrist was saying so I can collect on whos right and whos wrong (in my eyes). Your constant usage of insults really makes your argument look unintelligent and the strawmans you use makes it look worse. Some Conservatives do hold a view that pushing minorities as tokens is unnecessary and some liberals feel the same. Thats something good. Still I dont think you understand why theyre calling you triggered. Its because you constantly reply, cuss, and insult. You show to a degree that you do care.
5 likes@Fco Omega also you ask whats my point. Well I just wanted to comment because your arguments hold no ground on the original comment and is divisive and I wanted to call that out. Also some conservatives do believe in helping the enviroment. "Rake up the forest" was referring to cutting down dead trees which are fuel for wildfires. Nuclear energy is environmentally friendly and gives off zero emmisons but like the red scare and zepplins it has a bad rep. Some Conservatives do think about the enviroment but differently than Liberals. They dont like the green new deal cuz it'll cost a whole lot and we're already in debt. Some liberals say think about the long term, yet thinking about the short term is just as important. I think the green new deal will bring a great depression (especially with our economy right now) and it's transcontinental bullet train would be just like the hoover dam. History doesnt repeat, it rhymes. I do agree with some of the green new deal yet I have an understanding on how these expectations could be implemented, yet the document doesnt show how. Also cow flatulence is 5-10% of methane produced by cows, cow burps are 90-95% main source of methane. AOC got that wrong. Also Bernie got credit cards and Apr wrong so that does make people skeptical on his economic plan. Either way some Conservatives do have a different viewpoint of environmental protection yet still do care.
0 likesEdit

@Luna Y Sol also, THIS ARE NOT STRAWMANS, people on the republican like Trump denied that covid would damage the country since march, republicans were the only ones who protested agaisnt quarentine because "its comunism" or something, they were the only people that voted AGAINST THE STIMULUS, i didnt made up this shit, you can see it in any decent newspaper.
0 likesIf you cant undertand it, i dont care, i will not lose more time with someone who cant use his eyes.
@Fco Omega "an intentionally misrepresented proposition that is set up because it is easier to defeat than an opponent's real argument." You have been using strawmans the same way Conservatives strawman liberals. I havent at all denied anything you said that Republicans or conservatives have done, I know 130 Republicans and 2 Democrats voted against it, sadly. Yet you're making it seem like it all applies to me and others and you generalize. I get that strawmans come from somewhere (stereotypes and constant outrageous arguments). Some Republicans use strawmans and I call them out on it becuz they're insane. Now I cannot deny that detention centers have turned into concentration camps. It's Reagan to Trump's (and the presidents and Senate in between) fault for not ending them. Its sad what happens in them. Also democrats did have a Kkk leader in Senate. Kind of bonkers. I criticize my party alot, especially the trump supporters. I dont want fascism or another brink of war so I voted for Biden, the lesser of the evils. Also thanks for making this more productive. Still some flaws, but tolerable enough to have a peaceful ending discussion. Also I think liberal policies are better than democratic ones. Just depends on the Democrat though. I'm happy trump lost, so I dont have to get flooded with news about him and finally done hearing "orange man bad" jokes. What I as a Republican want my party to be is the liberal one, the Radical Republicans so we can work together with progressive democrats and not conserve the evils in the status quo. Like I have said before, stay safe, have fun, and have a great life.

0 likesExactly. Now, to be fair, there are some things I think people should know the basics of each subject with more in-depth classes as optional things. Kid's don't hate learning, they hate school. When I was a kid I was facinated by animals and picked up any book or educational show about them. I still do; but, I can almost guarentee you that if I was taught the stuff I knew in typical school fashion I would probably hate it.
0 likesKlutzy Ninja Kitty I think they should find what the child is already interested in and nurture that interest into expertise in order to give them a leg up on the job market. But instead kids are taught the basics of various subjects so they aren't an expert in anything and thus are unprepared for life outside of school. We need to help kids with skills, trades, and work experience, as well as teaching them how to navigate adult life, social skills, family, finances, etc...and adjust the curriculum based on individual needs instead of emphasising rote memorization of irrelevant topics that they'll promptly forget as soon as the class is over.
0 likesWhen I say the basics, I meant things like arithmetic, reading and writing, economics, and government (specifically how it works.) Maybe some earth science so you can get what's happening around you. I definitely agree that just beating facts into peoples heads isn't the best method and that things like finances should be emphasized. Social skills seem a bit shifty as with a government-mandated program I can see it opening the door for tons of problems. I mean, if it's stuff like 'don't hit' or 'don't steal' that might be effective, assuming the kids will follow it anyway, but I feel that should be up to the parent and child to decide. Society says that being an asshole is wrong; but, there's no legal way to stop you. That's a matter of the individual deciding how to act.
0 likesAlso, my major concern with things like unschooling, which lets the kids explore on their own, is that some of the kids might never want to move out of their comfort zones and try new things. Not only that, but it can also help to have multiple skills. I might be an awesome author who doesn't want to get into a publishing house, so it'd be important that I'd know some aspects of business. Maybe the right answer is to just teach kids how to learn and then feed/encourage curiosity before setting them free.
Klutzy Ninja Kitty Regarding social skills I mean what is expected of you, shaking hands, etiquette, reading social cues, etc... I'm not saying school should tell kids what to do and exactly how to act but guide them towards making friends and making connections with people. That is if it's needed, if a kid is socially awkward or having trouble making friends such a class might benefit them. Like I said it would depend on the individual. I agree we should encourage kids to go outside their comfort zone, but it should also have focus. There is a skills gap where there are a lot of jobs available but not enough skilled workers to fill them. We need to let kids know early on what is available, find out what they're good at, and give them a leg up on gaining expertise in a field so they'll have a good job lined up when they graduate. And if they have skills in multiple fields we can help them develop those as well. The emphasis should be on obtaining relevant skills but we should also teach kids other subjects that are important for general knowledge and brain development. And I completely agree that we should teach kids how to learn and nurture their innate curiosity. I'm not exactly talking about "unschooling" but changing the way schooling is done and what the emphasis is on.
0 likesI wish I had more focus and guidance growing up so that I knew exactly what I wanted to do and how to do it before I graduated and most kids need that. There are kids out there graduating high school without knowing how to read, woefully unprepared for adult life and modern expectations. People are overwhelmed and don't know what their options are, that is a problem. Unfortunately I'm not entirely sure the powers at be want to change that, perhaps they prefer a dumbed down and easily manipulated population that doesn't know how the world works.
There were some interesting points about Kimmel raised, but using Kimmel as a jumping off point to go after all late-night hosts who discuss politics is misleading since most of them aren't as bad as Kimmel. It also seems disingenuous to disguise personal political viewpoints as criticisms of Kimmel's content, ironically trying the same Pavlovian conditioning Kimmel is accused of.

They treat black people like helpless victims that always need their help and can never pick themselves up, they say openly racist things against white people which if you switched around and said about black people would instantly be called racist, and rightly so, and they seem to bring up Jews and Jewish conspiracy a lot more than, "right-wing Neo-Nazi, heteropatriarical, cisgendered, racist, republicans."

2 likesLets just say that you are right for the sake of argument, that Dems only care for the vote.
Couldn’t you just say the right does the same thing but with poor white people?
@Colin Mcgrath In a way I suppose. But they don't treat them like little children that need handouts. They treat them like adults down on their luck, who need jobs and family cohesion, not free money.
0 likes@Big Jay It’s easy to say “just get a job”. But like it or not African Americans have a harder time getting a job than White people on Average. For example, People with “Black Sounding” names are often passed over for people with White sounding names even if both people have the same credentials. (If you want a citation, I can give it to you, just ask).
1 likeIt also doesn’t help that education in black communities are often underfunded and lacking. So often these kids are metaphorically shot in the foot before they even leave high school.
Also Right wingers do treat their base like children. The immigrants are both taking their jobs and taking away welfare money that should go to them. Instead of Republicans telling poor whites what they tell poor blacks, to toughen up and pull themselves up by their bootstraps, they are shown preferential treatment by telling these people that they were wronged and that those jobs should be theirs, and that Democrats don’t care about the “working class”.
@Colin Mcgrath Don't worry, I've seen that study too. I believe that hiring should be a meritocracy. Resumes should only have accomplishments, unless the job requires a certain physical description. Problem is, meritocracy is somehow sexist. A company did experiment like what I just listed, only hiring based on accomplishments and managed to hire more men than women, so sexism.
1 likeSpeaking of education, are you for or against school choice? This would basically allow parents to choose which school their kids would go to which would make it highly competitive for schools to improve. It's not entirely and underfunding thing, it's a, "schools aren't encouraged to improve" thing.

0 likes@Aleece I'm guessing you mean 1965, which would mean that the parties switched a good couple of years after said event
0 likes@Big Jay I do not mean that. Johnson's actions were a catalyst. In fact most historians say the switch happened between 1860-1936, three decades before you claim it occurred. "...pins the transition to the turn of the 20th century, when a highly influential Democrat named William Jennings Bryan blurred party lines by emphasizing the government's role in ensuring social justice through expansions of federal power — traditionally, a Republican stance." Both parties were trying to satisfy disenfranchised voters in the West and thus adopted social justice platforms, slowly the Republicans would stray from those ideals, but Johnson's aggression and cold heartedness can be seen as a catalyst.

Thank goodness. I am 54. I used to watch Fox news and wonder how they could get away with it. Fudging statistics, cherry picking, fallacious arguments all over the place, hyperbole, repeating false misleading statements over and over until people just assumed they were true. Every trick in the book. Finally the left caught up and now employ the same tactics on CNN, NPR, MSNBC....the left, and the democrats, whom I used to support whole heartedly, are now a bunch of hypocrites. A word that used to mean something. Now our politicians just shrug it off. Once you realize they are just peddling controversy, and people are getting a hit of righteous dope every time they watch the news, or crap entertainment like this, it all becomes clear. How much money they make all depends on the ratings. Ratings drive advertising placement. It's a competition for the ad dollars. The more advertising $$, the more you can garner in salary. Controversy = ratings = advertising $$ = salary.
13 likesGood for you for tuning it out. Until we publicly finance elections, we will get the politicians that are paid for. Currently, our system turns our politicians into whores.

@Samuel McL. Thanks for saying that. It wasn't until I read an article about the radio wars in Philly where I grew up, that I came to understand. "Howard Stern entered national syndication on August 18, 1986 when WYSP in Philadelphia first simulcast the program. In the 18-plus male demographic, WYSP rose from eleventh to second place in three months. Stern began a rivalry with the number one host John DeBella of WMMR, and was determined to beat him in the ratings. He achieved his goal in April 1990, and held a celebratory "funeral" for DeBella on May 10 in Rittenhouse Square which aired live." (Wikipedia) The article pointed out WHY it was so important to win the ratings war.
1 likeThe money/ salary from the advertisers is completely driven by ratings. I didn't come up with that on my own. Controversy sells. If it bleeds it leads and all that. Just recently I came up with the 'hit of righteous dope the talking heads are pushing" concept. Its pretty preachy in and of itself. I get a rush out of being righteous and pointing my finger too. Stimulating is what it is. Peace love and understanding is not as stimulating. Nor does it make as much money.
"As I walk through this wicked world
Searchin' for light in the darkness of insanity
I ask myself, "Is all hope lost?
Is there only pain and hatred and misery?"
And each time I feel like this inside
There's one thing I wanna know
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
And as I walk on through troubled times
My spirit gets so downhearted sometimes
So where are the strong and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?
'Cause each time I feel it slippin' away
Just makes me wanna cry
What's so funny 'bout peace, love and understanding?
So where are the strong and who are the trusted?
And where is the harmony, sweet harmony?

@Orcinus1967 Yeah I remember when they interviewed the father of one of the teens who got killed in CHAZ, it felt so disrespectful against the father since the interviewers were constantly making reactions to boost their agenda. I am not saying that CHAZ was a good idea by any means, it certainly wasn’t when it resulted in the deaths of teens, but the interview gave me a gut feeling that made me feel bad for the parent. He clearly had nowhere to demand justice for his son’s death but FOX News.

Ask a "smart" liberal if they know who John Stuart Mill or John Locke are. Hint: They are the fathers of liberalism. The fact is the libertarian philosophy is the closest analog to historical liberalism. And the modern left hates the libertarians as much as they hate conservatives.

1 likeAlso, popular vote literally doesn't matter. There's no proof Hillary or Al Gore would win if it came down to the popular vote, as candidates would campaign completely differently. For example, Trump had no reason to campaign in California to get better popular vote numbers. If popular vote mattered, he'd probably campaign a lot in California. Similar logic applies to Hillary, which would likely end up in the election results being very different. We will never be able tell who would be the winner if the 2016 election came down to the popular vote, as we've never got to experience the reality. That's a fact.
