i've already posted this before, and i also have to let out my more far-left side for this.

all that being said, just recently in his monologue, stephen riffed on the us being given the silla crown at apec, going so far to call south koreans (in the thumbnail of the monologue on youtube) "seoul suckers".

being someone who lives in the us, i have to agree with the koreans on this. the crown was supposed to be a symbol of korea and korean history and culture, going back to silla. yet stephen (and by extension the late show team) calls the koreans "seoul suckers", as if that's funny. it's NOT funny.

and don't get me started on the fact that stephen's old show "the colbert report" had himdo a character that's supposed to be a parody of asian stereotypes, but all that culminated in an out-of-context tweet (from the colbert report's official twitter account) which revealed that his 'stereotype parody character' unintentionally makes a mockery of asian people, and stephen (both his character and himself) missed the opportunity to apologize. suey park was right about that (and she DOESN'T deserve the harassment that she has gotten).

before any of you colbert-lovers on hexbear (if there are any colbert-lovers on hexbear) complain, i have a sense of humor, i strongly disagree with trump and i understand satire and such, but stephen has gone too far and failed to be satirical, and as such, i request stephen colbert to apologize. i will NOT watch the late show until stephen apologizes. the day stephen apologizes will be the day there's a blue corn moon.

stephen colbert is a bourgeois liberal who supports netanyahu and secretly hates socialists.

i said what i said. thank you for listening to my rant.

before any of you colbert-lovers on hexbear

Literally who. Colbert's always been a chauvinist lib, and he's only distinguished by the fact that he's a pretty charismatic comedic actor/voice actor and that as a writer he was kind of funny at times even if in retrospect he was still as noxious as a lot of the mainstream of the 90s and 00s. I do think he was in general funnier and less noxious than Jon Stewart, though, for all that that's a very low bar to clear.

colbert should've just shut his mouth and stuck to acting and writing and such.

Please call me a lib, a revisionist, hell I'll even take ultra but not that

They have formed a united front with the Maher Brigades and are staging an all-out assault on the news mega. We're going to have to call in the Third Worldist Special Operations Squad for tactical reinforcements until the Trans Mega Battalion can be marshaled. Intelligence support is being handled by the Capital Reading Group.

i don't think it's a secret

i mean that he doesn't hide it well and similar to Stewart, generally positions himself (or Bernie sanders) as the overton limit of "progressive" thought.

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 3 points 1 week ago

does colbert hates socialists?

[–] purpleworm@hexbear.net 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I think that we have multiple comms for bit posts and the users here are notoriously bad at detecting sarcasm.

I think it's mildly interesting how ready libs like Colbert are to viciously condemn US vassals being US vassals when it's orange man.

I was 100% sure that OP was a bit account at first, but I'm no longer certain.

I'm still seething they gave the fucking silla crown

[–] FumpyAer@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago (2 children)

The average American doesn't know the cultural significance of that style of crown, they just know that it's an insanely bad look for a president to receive one while there are "no kings" rallies being held. I'll take your word for it that his jokes are racist though. Doesn't surprise me one bit.

[–] DylanMc6@hexbear.net 1 points 1 week ago

well i'm NOT even sure if stephen's joke about trump being crowned the "burger king of south korea" in the late show is problematic or NOT.
