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.

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

The bigger question is when will YOU and all the other kike-adjacent faggots shut up about them.

 

[Vic Viper T301]

I don't see a big question. Just the hundredth limp wristed accusation of fascism I've heard this week, and a crying soyjak saying "I hope you're happy!" Yes, retard. Yes I am.

 

[Troon Meet Noose]

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.

He also had his own tv show. He's funny as a cranky guy struggling with hard times. This is him leaning into it.

This isn’t an article, it’s a rant recorded in third person

 

[Smaug's Smokey Hole 2]

I dont think anyone’s going after the physically disabled are they?

If he manages to get his hands on Canada and let them run the American welfare system... just sayin'

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

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.

Of course it's the leftoids who are pro-euthanasia for the physically disabled but it's okay since it's a left wing opinion.

If y'all hadn't pushed those things to the forefront, maybe people wouldn't have to push back, but there goes the left, pointing out the people who are calling out the problem and not the people causing it.

“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.”

Protected, or given special privileges to? Because every fucking time someone tries to draw a meaningful and not-unjustified distinction, assholes like Maron label them bigots.

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

I fucking  hate assertions like this one. It's always the vague language of , "I think it's bad and it's connected to a group I think is bad, so you had better think the same way. I'm not going to produce evidence or citations. I juat want you to repeat the buzzwords like good little drones."

Eat shit and die, Maron.

His podcast is ending this year and he has been on a self-pity tour for months. Among other things, he is really angry at Joe Rogan for being way more successful than he is. He also constantly tries to take credit for Rogan's success.

Marc Meron blames himself for the rise of Joe Rogan

He is also really mad these days about the whole "We need a Joe Rogan for the left" thing among democrats because he already sees himself as being the Joe Rogan of the left. Even though few know who he is anymore.

 

[Chapalapachapa]

WOW Trump Is finished this time

 

[BulkForceFive]

more like Marc MORON hahaha owned

As soon as you do, you henpecked menopausal Jewish faggot. And I don't recall MAGA ever talking about downies, cripples, the blind, etc. They're just shoving as many "marginalized" communities as they can into one sentence now. They're fucking broken.

The “R-Word” — considered a slur toward those with disabilities

Oh please, the word retard is almost never directed at someone who is actually mentally retarded. It's directed at people that have no excuse to be acting retarded, there's a huge difference. If anything, it's used to call out those who would culturally appropriate what it's like to actually be mentally disabled.

He's been an intense downward spiral ever since his cat Boomer disappeared. He peaked when he interviewed Obama, and his career has been steadily declining ever since. GLOW got canned on a cliffhanger right before the last season, and that's the last good thing he did.

Any unironic mention of "Christian Nationalism" makes you a lolcow.

The conclusion point to this sort of language policing logic is completely undefinable and nonsensical.

It's vague and nonsensical, but that's a feature, not a bug. That means you can make it mean whatever you want it to mean at anymoment.

I think the point of language-policing is 1) a highly visible moral preening through highlighting tribal divisions and loyalties (shitlibs live to do this), and 2) occasionally kicking the tires of the culture every to make sure you still know who's in charge (not you).

Point 1 is now being seen as increasingly cringe, and point 2 is increasingly delusional, because proggies don't have the iron grip on culture that they used to have. Maron's behavior is the lashing out of someone who was comfortable with a position of smug superiority during the Obama years and is now facing the reality that everything has shifted under him.

This whole fucking conversation where everyone fixates on Joe Rogan is absolutely maddening, so I'm just going to sperg it out right now.

1. If you care about people listening to Joe Rogan, it's only because you care that he might field an idea that you don't like. It isn't even that you can just ignore him, which it is perfectly possible to do. I would never hear about him if the very people who want me to hate him would just shut the fuck up forever about him. The problem is and always has been that people are afraid of others with more persuasive ideas than they have, and other people might not like their ideas so much.

2. It's even worse that people hate how popular he is, but can't be bothered to figure out why. Maron is a mouthpiece for the establishment. He doesn't offer new ideas or concepts, so why should anyone bother listening to yet another establishment drone? Rogan does what Howard Stern used to do: love him or hate him, you always want to know what's coming out of his show next.

3. This whole conversation about podcasting in general is so fucking weird. Like, it's totally occupied by the alt-right. No shit, Sherlock. Podcasts aren't regulated by old media or beholden to big money, so it will naturally be appropriated by people who can't use other media to get an audience. And then Xanax Lois Lane talking to Tim Dillion is acting like new media operates the same way as Old Media, like Rogan is a king that dictates shit. That interview probably isn't eye-opening to anyone but people who follow establishment media only.

4. Joe Rogan had better get good security. I get the feeling someone out there might try to Luigi Mangione the guy.

I am enjoying it, thanks, and I want even more. Retard.

Yeah. You already know Maron won't be interviewing anyone who really disagrees with him. Rogan's views are predictable but he still brings interesting people on and doesn't always agree with them or even get along. Rogan interviewed both Bernie and Trump, and he avoided sneeding at either one. Is there a lib broadcaster alive who would willingly do that?

4. Joe Rogan had better get good security. I get the feeling someone out there might try to Luigi Mangione the guy.

He's apparently surrounded by SEALs all the time, which makes sense when you remember he's likely a quiet billionaire at this point between all his income streams and assets.

The left doesn't want people to hear things that oppose the left's world view because the left either feels afraid that grown ass adults will agree with those viewpoints because they're either not smart enough to disagree with them or those viewpoints actually resonate with them. The left doesn't want people to hear dissenting opinions.

Meanwhile the left has no problem with pushing their woke viewpoints on children through woke teachers peddling rainbow-covered propaganda and gets violently angry when people push back on this.

 

[Hey Johnny Bravo]

Marc Maron is still fucking mad that Dane Cook will always be more popular than him.

 

[Bland Crumbs]

“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.”

Which group was this? If you are referring to troons Marc I would have to disagree that they were ever marginalized or vulnerable. They were agressive and rapey.

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

This is a lie. The only people trying to erase history were the Democrats who were literally removing figures from history because they did not like them.

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.”

LA was being burned down and now Iran does not get nuclear weapons and there is no war because Iran finally got bitch slapped instead of coddled and handed money.

This is not a military dictatorship you fucking retard. You can tell because you can call it one without being shot in the head.

These people are out of their fucking minds and they just keep encouraging each other.
