We got to get over left wing right wing compartimentalization(?) it retards nearly everything it touches and kills critical thought, people have ideas and opinions if you care so much about them ask them about them in detail don't lump someone together as if they're a monolith just because they happen share an opinion on one subject.
i agree, i should've said i was just speculating that he was probably a democrat more or less, just based on what i think he's said (that he meant). As I mentioned before, I'm more left leaning, which I only brought up because in the last few years I've really found it frustrating how comedy in general is usually divided into two camps, and one is deemed good because it's liberal and the other is deemed bad because it's conservative, and it sucks that Sam Hyde and Nick Rochefort had their Adult Swim show cancelled because of politics, and at the core of it I think what's fundamentally wrong with it (aside from the cancellation itself) is the hypocrisy, like Adult Swim's whole thing was being edgy and putting on shows that made the same jokes that got MDE cancelled.
The left does have a problem with virtue signaling, trying to cancel others for 'saying bad words' as mike says, and not for doing anything that's actually wrong, like being violent or sexual assault or whatever. Someone on the last page that Mike is pro-cancellation, but I don't think he is but I could be mistaken, if someone has an example then I'd genuinely like to see it. I assume that it's just because he exposes people and uses hyperbolic language, but I don't think he genuinely wishes for anyone to be cancelled because I think he genuinely loves to mock these people and if they get cancelled then that's taken away from him. People like Bryan Callen, D'elia, Anthony Cumia, I think are different and they've actually committed crimes and are most likely pedophiles (maybe not Callen, but I wouldn't be surprised), so Mike getting excited when they get cancelled is a bit different. In the last few years things have gotten better, or at least with the popularity of like Chapo Trap House and the 'dirtbag left', which is a cringe name for what is basically just leftists who also think identity politics and cancelling people sucks, and also use bad words or at least they don't give a shit if you use bad words because that's retarded. Or maybe they haven't gotten better overall with democrats or whatever, but at least now there's an easy catch all term for leftists who don't engage with the shittiest ideas and beliefs of the left.
in my last post I meant to say that that video of the little immigrant kids being dickheads would piss anyone off, it doesn't make you anti immigration or racist, but it still surprises me when someone associates straight up racism or bigotry with not being a leftist, or being conservative, and it comes up in situations that in my head would otherwise be apolitical, which I guess sort of explains Mike's tendency to shit on conservatives for the most part. And as I mentioned before, you can see in that video I posted of him arguing with Sven, Mike isn't actually racist, and even said that he was making a joke when that guy calls in and says he agrees with him that trans people are sick or whatever. He even sort of laments the fact that people are too stupid to understand the subtlety of his jokes and think that's what he actually believes, when in reality he's making absurd jokes and using provocative language, and it's a shame because it does tend to draw in fans who genuinely don't see the comedy, and you get a fanbase of actual racists and idiots. That's what happened with Gavin McInnes when he started the proud boys and it got out of hand in the exact way that Mike warned him about, and you can sometimes see it with Redbar, like in the comments of that video there's a ton of people saying Mike is being 'soy' or something, or that he's wrong somehow. It's also why the Cum Town subreddit got closed down, even though those guys are also lefties, a sizeable portion of the audience thought they were being serious when they were making ironic racist jokes.
I kind of went on a tangent or two there, but I think my point is that the show is pretty much apolitical, and Mike is pretty consistent about that, and even though he does mock conservatives and like Cumia for being racist, which I wouldn't personally say isn't intrinsic to conservative or progressive politics, but some conservatives would say it is, and I guess it's related to anti immigration for a lot of people. Also, I guess with covid he was in general in favor of masks and whatnot, which is also a truly bizarre thing to me that got politicized somehow, and I don't mean like, debating the specifics of mandates or whatever, I simply mean like, the insane part to me is the fact that Mike was in favor of masks and pro vaccine makes him a libtard to a lot of people. Aside from those things which I think most people, right or left, can look past whether they agree with him or not, and enjoy it and would agree with Mike and believe him when he says Redbar isn't a political show.
