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.

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

You have to remember, to the leftist mind? Failure to go out of your way and praise someone? Is the same as attacking that someone..... so every lefty "comedian" has to go out of their way with 50 disclaimers about everyone they aren't making fun of every time they tell a joke.

And they just become the humanized version of the textwall meme.

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."

Meanwhile? Who's out there tearing down statues and burning flags? It's not the "nationalists" - it's the dangerhair activist left that's tearing down your downtown and slathering monuments in graffiti, sometimes without even checking who or what they're monuments to. So who is really the deluded group that acts bad?

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.

The ironic thing is? The left absolutely wants to censor dissent to protect their power - but are aware that saying that comes off as very distasteful in a free society.

So, they've decided to mask that in the can't-miss marketing-approved official narrative:

The average American is just too dumb to think for themselves and will elect Hitler 2.0 the instant Democrats can't censor, er, control, er, fight disinformation!

 

[Super-Chevy454]

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

Let's not forget they didn't mocked democrats very often. Very few jokes about Obama, Biden, Pelosi, Kamala, etc...

 

[Disdainer of the Plebs]

Literally who?

Imagine being so ideologically captured you can’t comprehend what your ideological enemies value and believe or why.

Anyways, if you ever want to fuck with one of these retarded faggots, just respond to their accusations with “Me ne frego”.

And they just become the humanized version of the textwall meme.

They also know that they are full of shit so they have to tie their fake victim to real vulnerable people. So you cannot just put troons or illegals out there. You have to tie troons to the disabled and illegals to legal immigrants.

And the second they are back into power, they loudly and proudly love Democracy and patriotism and the electorate and the entire American experiment again.

Leftists don't have any real principles. There are plenty of left-leaning people who are principled, even if their principles are not my own. But progressives do not have any. And they know that you do. And they will scream the loudest if anyone if you seem to abandon them, because how else are they going to corral and control you? That is the only utility of principle for them.

 

[ephermeral]

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.

The only time I ever found him enjoyable was when Norm Macdonald (PBUH) had him on his show.

 

[queue-anon]

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.

Did Lynn Shelton's death have nothing to do with it?

 

[Terrorist]

more like Marc MORON hahaha owned

Marc Mongoloid

 

[Picnic_Boy]

The question is "I hate you!"

The answer is "okay?"

 

[74164978231]

He's Jewish if you didn't know.

 

[John Furrman]

So who is really the deluded group that acts bad?

Both are retarded pawns of the uniparty.

 

[TowinKarz]

Both are retarded pawns of the uniparty.

But only one reliably engages in acts of wanton civic destruction. With full support of the media that this "comedian" is part of.

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.

Right after you shut up about Whites, Males, Heterosexuals and Christians.

I mean, you did win in 2008 and 2012, so that means you stop talking about stuff you don't like.

Anecdote:

My current username comes from some silly exchange nearly twenty years ago, when I would post on a proto-Farms comedy message board frequented by touring comics. I came across as overly condescending in some post; and one of the more famous posters responded by facetiously addressing me as Marc Maron in his subsequent replies. This led to a segment of the try-hard open micers on the site PMing me to ask if they could open for me the "next time I played San Diego", Austin, etc. I told one of them to show up at the Store any time to say hello.

The point is that Maron has been a punch line amongst comics ever since he was the door man at the Comedy Store in the 1980s, due to never having anything to show for his elitist, gatekeeping attitudes toward comedy and shameless attempts at monkey-branching and sucking up to anyone he thought could get him more bookings than his weak act could earn.

Though I don't even necessarily dislike the guy (due to the decades having desensitized me to seeing this consistent, predictable nonsense come out of him), even he knows and admits that the only reason he got lucky with his garage podcast elevating his celebrity status is because he chickened out of hanging himself in response to the narc injury of his career having peaked with occasional Conan O'Brien appearances, and being generally unwelcome amongst other road comics due to his uncanny ability to light up the green room by leaving it. The guy's whole persona is a distillation of "I hate myself for better reasons than you hate me", when the reality of the bitterness he's spent forty years steeped in is that he's just a jew who has misdirected a lifetime of butthurt over having been too hard to get along with to ever realize his teenage dream of playing with other people in a bad blues guitar band. The only times I've ever seen him not act miserable are on rare occasions when he's invited to do boomer bends on a bandstand, or the more regular occasions he's eating a sugary dessert fans of his podcast have brought him after shows.

The podcast was a continuation of his political show on "Air America" - the left's failed attempt to create liberal talk radio back in the early 2000s. He was there almost from the start. When they finally got rid of him, he just moved his show to streaming only.

 

[MirrorNoir]

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.

Wasn't Maron part of the Louis CK clique of hacks too ugly to be big time actors but had just enough talent to be anonymous staff writers on shows?

Bet he has a ton of skeletons in his closet.

 

[draggs]

I've had enough of New Coke Fascism. Where opponents of the State don't get shut up by tossing them in a filthy cell, beating them with rubber hoses for 18 hours, and finishing it up by plier-assisted toenail removal and a few buckets of scalding hot salt water on the injuries

Bring back the original

 

[John Furrman]

But only one reliably engages in acts of wanton civic destruction. With full support of the media that this "comedian" is part of.

And the other encourages an ossified, failed system to continue on like it has no issues. Neither has answers, just more status quo. Dems are the devouring mother and repubs the tyrannical father. I don’t want to pretend, i want true Empire. The media, the fossils in the halls right now, are all the same Basilisk. The only way out is to not play the game, not be a debt slave, not pretend that America was ever "great", because the greatest greatness is still on the horizon. I'm tired of a Jew God having full reign over the hearts and minds of my countrymen. We should be making our own gods, not being a living mouthpiece of some desert rats' dystopian vision.

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.”

Authoritarianism is good when it's against nazis and other breeds of leftists.

Still waiting to hear what fascist ideologies trump holds or promotes, or what fascists Trump is emulating?

“I hope all the ‘anti-woke’ comics are happy about pushing this all through.

Comics dont push things through. This guy is projecting. He is a comic and thinks hes influential. He thinks comedian is an important influential job

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

Well, they're jokes so...why does it matter? The bigger question is why this retard cares so much about what others talk about?

“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.”

The idea of a "marginalized person" is fascist. In un-fascist societies, we don't believe in such myths. Everyone is the same. They don't need protection or a leg up

He continued, “History is being erased and rewritten to support Christian Nationalism.

Holy shit i wish. I would love to hear what specifically hes referring to and also why "christian nationalism", real or percieved is bad.

Creativity, tolerance and the path to equality squashed.”

Again, how specifically?

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.”

sounds like fake outrage. Did this guy speak up when Obama did it, or much worse?

Also, the president is SUPPOSED to deploy troops to curb insurrectionists.

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.

Like who? Which comics? Which white supremacists? Why is white supremacy bad?

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.”

That's not a thing. Trump won because his opposition was literally a female nazi who's campaign went all in on liebensraum and promoting pedophilia. Joe rogan, Theo von and Schultz are liberals.

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.

Weird thing to say considering this dude was just lamenting that creativity and expression was being squashed. Can't be both bro..

Also, it's not a slur. It's a medical term.

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 human rights were diminished? Also, lack of diversity? How? Oh I get it, if white people simply exist in a culture, ita not diverse

 

[John Furrman]

Comics dont push things through. This guy is projecting. He is a comic and thinks hes influential. He thinks comedian is an important influential job

I would say what Sam Hyde is doing with Fish Tank is important, influential, and is as far ahead of its time as Xavier: Renegade Angel was in the late '00s. The problem with "comedians" is they're all institutionally captured, safe-edgy, mud men.

Weird thing to say considering this dude was just lamenting that creativity and expression was being squashed. Can't be both bro..

Yeah Maron the moron is an insufferable tiny jewish bugman who has tiny jewish bugman thoughts and tiny jewish bugman dreams. Anything that breaks his stratified worldview of what is right and proper is heresy. People like him, simply, deserved to be crushed by the wheel of time like the bugman he is, as it continues to roll.
