Saturday Neoliberalism | Renegade Cut 

Thank you so much both for taking the time to do this, and for focussing on transphobia, as well as calling out the 'lol homophobes are all gay' bullshit. These two things are often glossed over and dismissed.

Sassy KING

Renegade Cut very good vid! SNL letting trump host is bad, but also never forget that they let dan the cyclops dipsh*t appear on the show too

I like your videos. Subscribed!

Appreciate all the effort you put into it, but god that sounds exhausting. Good luck not going insane weeding through the comments at such a granular level.

OK - that is funny! DARK, but funny.

Clever

I recall one Late Show segment where Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart referred to themselves with regards to being Stewart-style comedians (especially in the wake of Trump's presidential campaign) as "turd miners". Said jokingly, but also with deep sadness and distress.

@@BMoser-bv6kn "most people like themselves" Fuck, do they really? I cannot relate.

Colbert has openly acknowledged this at least a couple times I believe. I know he has said on his show that he would absolutely give up his ratings to get rid of Trump. Which albeit, maybe he just said for ratings. But I don't really think so. He seems like a genuine and good guy.

How dare you call such a bland, milquetoast political stance spicy?

@@sol4925 🤣🤣🤣

The "horseshoe" is stuck in one political corner

Mayo isn't a spice, though

*food court spicy. They say it’s spicy, but it’s never spicy enough to actually make it interesting or good

George Carlin was not only against the establishment, but was good at criticizing it

There's so much to be pissed about. Carlin had the brilliant skill of making our filthy system sound Funny! ✊🏴‍☠️🎭

We need a video about CQC

@@ManicPandaz he did blackface

BenGrapples Aw, dang you beat me to it. Well played. 😂 Dangit!

Lmao I wish Michael Che could make that joke and then they showed a closeup of Colin’s face 😂 too bad it will never happen

Or Scarlett Johansson

Oh my god that is disgusting. It's incredible to imagine the kind of voluntary ignorance needed in order to subscribe to a neoliberalist worldview 🤢🤢

That's their attempted of being balanced, to appease... Umm like 4 Republicans

Norm Macdonald and Dennis Miller are pretty conservative.

@@pleaserewind295 Norm Macdonald is conservative? I know a lot of conservatives like him but I've never heard him state his politic opinions. I doubt he is conservative, I bet that he leans center left. Like Bill Burr and Joe Rogan, they both have a lot of conservative fans mainly because they like to rail against "cancel culture™" but neither one identifies as a conservative they both say they are on the left side of the spectrum. I could be wrong about Norm, maybe I just missed him identifying himself as a conservative.

@@pleaserewind295 Miller is now. I think he combination of overwork and 9/11 did some damage there.

@@pleaserewind295 Again a clip from a Comedy Central show where women having a sports team is a punchline. Makes me wonder why is there so much hate against women in sports, could be because they are doing more than display their bodies?

Ha, after the 90's, New York has become kinda of a neoliberal place, hasn't it?

They did Larry David Bernie Sanders again and SNL's agenda finally clicked into place for me. When they casually blamed Sanders for Trump getting elected and hinted that him running again would result in the same. I'm so thankful for people like Sanders. The actual left was dead in this country before Sanders ran in 2016. Need to get back to when we had more politicians like Teddy Roosevelt and FDR.

Amber Annette Become a communist

it's ok, they are liberal in the literal sense of the word. as in, liberalism advocates laissez faire economics but also advocates social freedoms. American liberals are really just following what the ideology entails, supporting laissez faire, except they realize that they can use the state as a tool to protect their own interests

Do the right thing and look into anarchist philosophy, no true liberty under captialism mah dude.

Sorry Colin Jost has dirtied your name.

Lol. He was talking to you dude

It must be fine watching any episode of Whose Line.

Same

😂 poor Colin

Sometimes I wonder if Trump is just a puppet, so abominable that people will get misty-eyed over Bush and Obama, reinforcing the neoliberal status quo just as more socialist/democratic socialist thought is gaining traction.

The"Radical Left", eh? I like to point out to Republicans that on paper he's their New Saint Reagan.

@@BaronVonQuiply Well, yeah. Reagan fans keep all the Reagan merch in their homes -- the yearly calendars, the mugs, the framed photograph for their bedrooms. (I wish I was joking here, but I'm sadly not -- I have way too many Reaganite relatives.) I wouldn't be surprised if there was a similar level of Obama merch that people unironically stash around their homes as decor. The appeal of the two is really quite similar among those who love them.

@@sweetpeabee4983 it's a religion for them. literally

What did you expect? There are powers greater than the Presidency that every occupant of the Oval Office must answer to- or else. I mean, come on! Obama was a smart guy, he's seen the Zapruder film...

fr? What, because progressives voted for him over her? She showed them they were right pretty damn quickly.

Reading now!

Yes !! Absolutely !

You could find someone who does know how and either learn from them or pay them

get the system from the inside, comrade

This is a nice thing to say but said in a very weird way

Tia Nichele It's hilarious how many people hate SNL because they think it pushes a far, far left agenda.

The right: RaDiCaL lEfT Me: [looks around for any bolsheviks]

cyncynshop it cracks me up that me asking nicely for rights as a trans person is radical to some people. (it also scares me but laughter is how we cope, eh?)

Yeah…like, when they refer to Pelosi as a radical leftist, I think, ya know, honey, why don’t you just tattoo “I’m stupid” on your face and be done with it. They apparently don’t know that words have meaning.

Cece Whm They exist to make profit for NBC

conservatives concern troll all of the time, I don't know which ones you're talking to but I'd much prefer them to pretty much all of the ones I see.

I agree. That patronising and condescending “But I’m a good person, I’m not a racist” thing is irritating as fuck.

bland humor that doesnt challenge anything

In the early 90's it used to make me smile. Sometimes.

A lot of it just reminds me of dumb humor reactionaries say on their Netflix special.

@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 Same here. Hell, they still had SOME funny moments even during the 2000s w/ Lonely Island, and even a small bit of the 2010s had some funny moments, but those are even fewer than pre-2010s SNL. Miracle if SNL makes it to the 2020s

@@jeremybeau8334 yep

angryhobo212 South Park

they've always poked fun at politics and politicians, back in the day politicians played along and some made cameos.. Bob Dole, Palin, Obama, Hillary for example. old school Republicans could take a joke, not so much this current breed.

@@BalorShield None of those people actually appeared on the show though, they were caricatures voiced by other actors.

@@JJRasta97 South Park's Libertarian. Big difference.

@@BalorShield yeah they don’t critique the establishment though, do they.

Not to mention that Bernie is the most popular politician in America and has the best odds against Trump. He and his policies are pretty popular. And yeah they call us snowflakes but I make a joke about cops being tossed in prison and they lose their shit.

@@Jamie-kg8ig Or he would if the media wasn't brainwashing the US into a right-wing agenda.

More cowbell

Also, he referred to him as "the reason why he puts tape over his webcam." Dumb bastard doesn't realize that Julian Assange and Ed Snowden were exposing the NSA for that very bullshit.

Julian Assange is incredibly pro-russia biased: when offered proof about russian troops in Ukraine, which, among other war crimes, downed MH-17, he refused to publish it. How do you trust someone who spends his life doing cover-ups a brutal dictator that is putin huilo?.. Do you seriously believe that "exposing NSA" is worth 298 lives in that Boeing plane??? All the dead children russians killed?! Over 14 thousand Ukrainians dead over five years... Millions left without homes and forced to flee, and it's even worse with russian invasion of Syria on Assad's side, who routinely uses chemical weapons to kill civilians. Russian federation bombs markets, then schools and hospitals to ensure the biggest civilian casualty rate. It's a terrorist state. And Snowden is being hidden by the same very russia that finances whole alt right, various terrorist organizations such as HAMAS and Hezbollah (their foreign ministry quite openly calling them "allies"), russian military occupies territory of more than half a dozen sovereign states (Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Azerbaijan, Syria, Venezuela, several African countries), and wages wars of conquest all over the world!.. Millions of people destroyed by putin's wars, want to see Snowden and Assange face tribunal in the Hague. They are responsible for pro-russian propaganda: and propagandist Julius Streicher was executed by Nuremberg trial much like actual war criminals of the Third Reich. Goebbels would be too, had he not offed himself in the bunker. The blood of million Syrians are on the hands of everybody who supports putin's regime.

@@DragonSlaveKnight I agree that just because Assange did an incredible thing by exposing the NSA he shouldn't be excused for protecting the Russian regime - but the original comment wasn't putting Assange up on a pedestal and making him infallible, making it seem like it was is creating a strawman. It wasn't even praising Assange, just pointing out Colin's moronic and dismissive tone when bringing up an incredibly relevant figure when it comes to the deference of online privacy against the US Government (in this context). Calling him an internet troll is misleading and wrong, and the original comment was merely underlining the point made in the essay

Colossally unfunny.

That used to be called anti-trust laws.

Those reactionary cranks seem to mostly come from the late 80's/ early 90's when the bars on human behavior and comedy were lower.

waaahhh Bill Maher called me an orangutan, I'm gonna sue him lol

They can lolz and I’m not one of em but they FLAT out can lolz

Its the only side that makes sense :)

Contrapoints made paranoid of Ok signs

I like that title better, then I realized he probably didn’t use that title because when you read the title it reinforces the idea that SNL is biased to the left when in reality they are really just biased toward profit.

Hannah In Russia Liberal Democratic Party (ЛДПР) is far right, they pick random names just to confuse people 🙄

Scarlett Johansson is a Karen.

You can, I guess, but I've been saying that and promoting that for weeks. I want their audience to see this.

And a tan suit. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Maybe anarchists should always called them centrists

Well its defined in the opening seconds

Benjamin Peters implying people watch videos before leaving comments stating their opinions
