RIP Norm Macdonald
RIP indeed, dude was the funniest comedian to me. I went and watched every possible clip of Norm available online right before he passed. The YouTube channel I'm Not Norm has 'em all
Fuck Youtube, use the Internet Archive instead. Here is the link to watch all the Norm podcasts with NO ADS:

At least now we know it really wasn't Norm.
I'm not norm is a legend
Norm was fairly right-wing and said some pretty unacceptable things., but he was an undeniably talented comedian and I'm glad we have his body of work to remember him by.
In case you don’t know where to look. This (and other comments) is well documented and plenty discussed. I don’t know if I’d say he’s right wing nor would I say he’s left wing. He was definitely bigoted and sexist.
Anti-trans is hard to point left or right because pro-trans is centre-right
But I’d say violence against them is a right wing opinion
The rest of his views could be left though
huh?
People on the left are gender abolitionists (xx and xy is all gender means and everyone is an individual do it never goes past that) you can transition but that doesn’t make you less of a man/woman
Obviously trans doesn’t fit in that but on the left they blame society and want to change it so there aren’t any trans.
Then you get the centre right like this website where they talk about gender identity and being trans because “born in wrong body”
Then you go right/far right and they blame the individuals
I feel like people here just associate left with utopia so any opinions they have must be leftist
As far what’s right/just that’s up to the individual and not really worth getting into because people online aren’t going to be swayed one way or the other
You are very confused
You’re probably in that group
If you lump folks into groups it’s difficult to learn about the individual.
“Group of people here think everything they do is left”
Person comes in
“No! That’s leftist because I believe in it!”
What do i need to learn about them before deciding if they are like that?
I would like to tell you as a leftist myself that that is not what I nor anyone I've ever met believes
You can be left and have right wing opinions
You’re just not leftist on this issue
thank you for explaining my own ideology to me
also please note "nor anyone I've ever met"
genuinely what is your source for leftists believing this, or anyone right of candace Owens believing in gender being determined by anything other than biological sex
The right doesn’t believe in science, they just use leftist arguments to appear rational when arguing in bad faith
Their beliefs come from religion and conformity
I completely fail to see how that is relevant to (what they call) the trans debate
He shouldn't have had so many cheeseburgers from his restaurant
IA IA OOOH
