Bill Burr is great and I don't think I've ever met a guy who didn't like him. Good politics too, and says them like a normal fucking person who can make a case without being annoying.

Some of the weirdo ass lemmy computer janitors in this thread seem to dislike him. Which means he’s probably on the right side.

The rest of this thread is bonkers. I have no idea what's happening

unhinged people can't tolerate non-idealistic perspectives. Bill isn't a idealist, he's a pragmatic realist kind of guy.

idealists tend to believe that any reference to a reality outside of their ideal utopia in their heads is a form of hate-speech against them.

Now I know what's happening

Some idiots on the right think bill bur is in the middle, how many times does he have to say fuck trump for those morons to understand. He deff not a establishment dem but he is deff a progressive

[-] sheogorath@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

In terms of right and left he's pretty much the center. American "centrists" are actually right wingers in other countries. Heck, even the Dems who consider themselves leftists are actually on the right.

Because Bill says enough crap that aligns with right wing views that they skip the rest.

not all anti-trump people are progressive. plenty of center and right-leaning folks say fuck trump. not enough, but plenty.

also it’s not even progressive to say “don’t blame immigrants”. that’s just basic humanity and not letting republican fear mongering drive you rabid.

He might appear to be in the middle, because he also goes after Democrats. And while they might not be nearly as bad as the party of American fascists, Democrats are very far from being perfect. They have at most a handful of decent high profile people. Bill Burr is just reasonable and calls out assholes, no matter their affiliation.

As someone who listens to his podcast regularly, he's a borderline socialist at this point, but he has blinders on when it comes to "both sides" bullshit.

It's probably because he doesn't want to alienate half of his audience, which I get. But it's super frustrating to hear because he's right there.

Bill is a class act. One of the best living comedians.

Stop blaming each other. The ones we should be blaming are the mega wealthy.
