As a fellow white man who, in contrast to Stewart and Maher, has never enjoyed all the perks and privileges heterosexuality affords, I can only say that I long since began turning a deaf ear to Stewart and Maher and men like them.
Privilege blinds. Unexamined privilege — and the colossal privilege afforded striaght white men is too seldom examined by said men — spectacularly blinds.
As Doktor Zoom writes, "He sure seems reluctant to see that the problem isn’t that we’re 'polarized,' but that we’re under assault and maybe the problem isn’t that in the face of gathering fascism, some people are going overboard by burning some Teslas…."
I'm reading similar commentary about another icon of many US liberals, Bill "But Trump's So Charming and Nice" Maher.
Wonkette's Doktor Zoom has good, zingy commentary on Jon Stewart's "who could have imagined" admission that his anodyne, misleading both-sideism about Biden-Trump and Democrats-Republicans didn't see what a lot of the rest of us saw coming: savagery, looming dictatorship, real horrors.

#JonStewart excruciatingly clearly and urgently explains why #BigTech corporate #SocialMedia is bad for #FreeSpeech and our #freedom. And we are pulling an assured #BigBrother era onto ourselves if we keep using that shit.
I'm not watching #StephanieRuhl I'm watching #JonStewart on #TheDailyShow and Jon, I luvz ya but you got me cringing so hard at your mischaracterization of #ChuchSchumer fella.
Dems have ALWAYS said that shutting down the government hurts people, and now you think they should turn on a dime and take the traditional Republican position of shutting down the government every time you don't like something. #BULLSHIT
You were right about citing the gym bike that doesn't go anywhere to where the Dems are today, but you just drove 'em into the gym wall.
#JonStewart must having the time of his life. Comparing the attack on #zelensky with a heel turn in professional wrestling is so much on spot, in everything. And then pulling out that audio from #Bannon about attacking the EU brings aligns with a whole #McMahon like story arc.
#JonStewart would mop the floor with #ElonMusk.
And Elmo knows it.
He’ll never show.

#ElonMusk strategy for U.S. government...
He wants to save big money? #JonStewart gave THE SOLUTION in 11 seconds on his Monday Feb 24 2025 #TheDailyShow
"How about we just take the 3 billion in subsities we give to oil and gas companies that already turn billions in profits"
"How about we close down the carried interest loophole on hedge funds, that's 1.3 billion, oh how about we stop giving 2 trillion to defense contractors..."
Jon Stewart is so angry at DOGE that he (accidentally) cut himself at his opening monologue yesterday.
@RickiTarr @jwcph This is #worldchanging information.
#jonStewart mentioned recently that a principal had told him that “protests outside the walls support protests inside the walls” (forgive the poor paraphrase)
bottom line: make your voices known, make your voices heard
this is not “social” media, this is media.

#DavidRemnick says to #JonStewart Feb 10 2025...
"It is happening right now. The president (#Trump) is over steeping executive power, not once, but in multiple ways..."
One of his best episodes ever. It's all in there. All the #broligarchs of the US Techbubble (#TESCREAL) are there, they want to destroy democracy, social systems and regulation. That's why Europe is under attack, they want to destroy the #climate and more, install #nuclear energy again and don't care about other people. You don't believe? Also watch the second part of this program with #BrookeHarrington. #JonStewart, #DailyShow thank you.
