Goddamn did I not expect that. So many moments I was literally laughing. Like, actually. Not a huff of air from my nose. Or a recognition of “oh yeah, that was a joke. Good job, funny man.” Like, actually had to stop cooking and set down the knife and laugh.

Stewart can be funny but he is definitely still a lib. reposting an old comment of mine:

when I was a lib I used to like The Daily Show because it was kinda cathartic to watch them mock conservatives.

However I remember one episode where they were covering a story about students at Berkeley protesting the marines opening up a recruiting office on campus, and basically the entire segment was them shitting on these kids. The students were anti-war and didn’t want the US military recruiting future killers on their campus. The Daily Show even had their news correspondent Rob Riggle (retired marine) interviewing students and trapping them in ridiculous “gotchas” to make them look dumb. It was one of the first moments as a baby leftist where I was like “wait… why are they doing this? those kids are right to not want the military at their school.” And watching this thickneck piece of shit Riggle bully young people who obviously don’t know enough to “debate” him while a camera is shoved in their face was infuriating.

Then later I watched Stewart perform at USO shows in Iraq and Afghanistan (among other places) to entertain these imperialist tools and I just lost any shred of respect I still had for him. He even had that awful “Rally to Restore Sanity” event in D.C. which was effectively a giant centrist circlejerk that accomplished absolutely nothing. I haven’t even paid attention to anything he’s done since but I’m not the least bit surprised that he’s still a dipshit.

also don't ask him about his views on China
