Comedian Marc Maron on Monday slammed MAGA-backing comics while shredding President Donald Trump’s administration for enacting “American Authoritarianism with a fully functioning fascist cultural apparatus.”

“I hope all the ‘anti-woke’ comics are happy about pushing this all through. The big question is when will they shut up about trans people, intellectually challenged people, immigrants, the disabled and minorities. I mean, they won,” wrote the “WTF” podcast host in a blog post.

“The policies they were supporting (whether they knew it or not) are happening. All the language and law that protected the vulnerable and marginalized and gave them a leg up have been destroyed.”

He continued, “History is being erased and rewritten to support Christian Nationalism. Creativity, tolerance and the path to equality squashed.”

Earlier in the post, Maron described Trump deploying troops to Los Angeles protests and the U.S. air strikes on Iran as “horrendous and damning” moves, noting that they “put in place the machinery to make this a military dictatorship.”

Over the past year, Maron has ripped Bill Maher for riding with aspects of the administration, and in October, Maron went after comics who have brought “shameless, self-proclaimed white supremacists and fascists” on their shows.

Comedians like Joe Rogan, Theo Von and Andrew Schulz had Trump on their shows in the lead-up to his election win. The Trump campaign, per Time magazine, looked to “win over” young men after finding that the voting cohort engaged with politics “mostly through edgy bro podcasts and social media.”

Maron wrote that he hopes it “was all worth it” for the MAGA-world comedians so they could “say the R-word again.”

The “R-Word” — considered a slur toward those with disabilities — has crept its way back toward the mainstream with public use by the likes of Rogan, Elon Musk and Schulz.

Maron wrote that he hopes they’re proud that the policies they were “championing” are now a reality.

“I hope you can now stop playing the victim and just enjoy the amazing lack of diversity and diminishment of human rights and collective fear you have supported, because it’s here,” he wrote.

What a bunch of retarded nonsense.

“I hope you can now stop playing the victim and just enjoy the amazing lack of diversity and diminishment of human rights and collective fear you have supported, because it’s here,” he wrote.

We sure are, Marc. Stay afraid forever.

It's not a win until the TTD project is complete.

They really want "anti-woke" to be a thing, huh? We all remember how sexually fixated they all were on being woke. We remember the 2020 riots. We remember the "stay woke" childish gambino song in 2016. People like Marc Maron thought woke was basically a new word meaning cool as fuck. Now culture has totally left him behind, the top comedians are all racists who have said nigger on 20 podcasts and just tone it down for Bud Light money now, it's over. They lost, they'll never recover. It's done

 

[SITHRAK!]

So after fifteen years of complete domination of the comedy scene by unfunny Iggy Catalpa leftists, due to the unpersoning of anyone right of Trotsky, leftists are whining about the pendulum swinging back. Right.

 

[Otterly]

Sorry what’s the shredding? I see only seething

The big question is when will they shut up about trans people, intellectually challenged people, immigrants, the disabled and minorities.

I dont think anyone’s going after the physically disabled are they?
A decent comic would interject ‘but enough about you’ or ‘I can see why you’d be concerned’ after the mention of ‘the intellectually disabled.’
The art of comedy is dead, and you humourless buggers killed it.

 

[Grand_Ole_Ostritch]

When has this guy ever made anyone laugh? Literally 100% of his material that I've seen has been him either sperging about politics or bragging about his hipster music collection.

 

[Freezard]

Anybody who preens over "the R-Word" being a slur or whatever does not give a single shit about what actually helps disabled people or not.
People being retarded is real, it's unfortunate and it's not pleasant to have to deal with. And though they're unfortunate they're also ridiculous, and no matter what words you use, being compared to them will be an insult. If you describe somebody as an "exceptional individual," it's almost always going to be backhanded, same with "late bloomer," "developmentally disabled," or just calling somebody a sperg.

What about if you call somebody childish? That implies they're developmentally stunted, that might be offensive to childish people, or children, the horror. If you call somebody stupid? Well, being stupid implies a lack of mental acuity, you just used the R-word again but made it the S-word, like a D-A-word. What if you're just wrong? You're suffering from a lapse in knowledge of correct information, but calling that out might hurt somebody. The conclusion point to this sort of language policing logic is completely undefinable and nonsensical.

Or rather, it's fucking retarded.

ohh they think being fat is a legit disability

 

[OutInTheRain]

Marc Maron has spent nearly twenty years pretending to be funny. He runs a podcast where he seethes that his guests aren't interviewing him. He's famous for being famous, but no one knows why he is famous.

This is the guy who 'shreds' the opinion of those who disagree with him.

 

[Dagoth AMOGUS]

The political divide isn’t left versus right but humorless versus humorous

 

[Dog-O-Tron 5000v5.0]

Wow, what a funny comedian.

 

[Counterfeit Obol]

The political divide isn’t left versus right but humorless versus humerus

And we all know these "comedians" don't have the spine to stand up for their beliefs.

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

Anybody who preens over "the R-Word" being a slur or whatever does not give a single shit about what actually helps disabled people or not.

There have been a bunch of articles complaining about the "r-word" in the last month or two. It's on someone's agenda and Mark here got the memo.

 

[Lord of the Large Pants]

Wow! He OWNED those MAGA so-called "comedians" with FACTS and LOGIC!

 

[Made In Wales]

He can't be any good as I've never heard of him.

Sounds like a faggy soy boy virgin who wears adult nappies.

“I hope all the ‘anti-woke’ comics are happy about pushing this all through. The big question is when will they shut up about trans people, intellectually challenged people, immigrants, the disabled and minorities. I mean, they won,” wrote the “WTF”

Around about the time when the loudest and most insufferable self declared/institutionally backed voices for these groups stop being such cancerous retards who shriek stupid and heinous shit every week or try to push stupid and heinous shit every week

Next question

He was funny in GLOW when he was playing a pathetic, past his prime, philandering B-movie director turned wrestling booker who gets cucked in the series finale loosely based on Vince Russo and that's the only thing I even remember him being in.

 

[Woe-B-Gon (TM)]

If I ever found myself writing a headline that evokes both "FACTS and LOGIC" and "one weird trick" I'm not sure I wouldn't just toss a rope over the nearest rafter and end it.
