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.

[–] tane69@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] benignintervention@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] TubularTittyFrog@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] benignintervention@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Now I know what's happening

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

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

[–] big_slap@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (4 children)

I think they say that because he portrays himself angrily, and people on the right can really relate to that.

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.

[–] Rekorse@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 week ago

Its not the immigrants that are the problem, its the system propped up on abusing groups that have less rights than others. Dressing it up as a humanitarian concern is a distraction from the real problem. The focus should be on companies who abuse employees.

[–] sheogorath@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

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.

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.

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If they ask Bill, which the media does, he'll tell you, "Why the fuck are you asking me?" He knows his political views are and should be meaningless. He's a comedian. The news media is responsible for the mess we're in, stop asking comedians what they think and stop white washing fascism.

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.

[–] iridebikes@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bill is a real American. I like that he's so anti-racist.

And he did marry a black woman so he is far from conservative.

[–] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

He just wanted his kids to be visible in the snow.

Edit: this is Bill Burr's own joke lol.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

He said he'd get off the train in Harlem and people would look at this super pasty redheaded white guy like a leprechaun had shown up.

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

"Bill Burr blurts 'Blame Billionaires!'"

[–] aeternum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

[–] Banana@sh.itjust.works 32 points 1 week ago

No war but class war

[–] Huschke@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago

Exactly, all the major social conflicts are fueled by a few very powerful people to distract us from going after them.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 13 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Bill Burr has been saying a lot of 'woke' things lately, and I'm here for it.

[–] Cocopanda@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

I’ve listened to Bill for decades. He’s a good guy to get advice from. He’s also a fucking but bag sometimes. But who isn’t a little nuts.
