Bill "Billionaires should be hunted down and shot" Burr is Parenti-posting on main. You love to see it, folks. sicko-wholesome

[-] [email protected] 67 points 5 days ago

He’s always been cool, but last few months have been genuinely surprising.

[-] [email protected] 87 points 5 days ago

I bet he could riff a really good bit out of "They're not under-developed, they're over-exploited." timmy-pray

[-] [email protected] 76 points 5 days ago

My 10+ year Bill Burr guilty pleasure is all coming together nicely.

[-] [email protected] 69 points 5 days ago

He should mask off and just start saying "Hear me out, communism" like Frankie Boyle did. They've both got the same working class leftwing no-nonsense controversial shtick.

[-] [email protected] 74 points 5 days ago

I could hear it so well on some podcast, "Fuckin why not communism? They say arm the workers, take the factories from the capitalist pigs, use our profit for what we actually need instead of the leeches taking it for their yachts or whatever. Tell me what's wrong with that."

[-] [email protected] 9 points 5 days ago

i bet he'd make for a good stare-at-the-camera shot back-to-me

[-] [email protected] 38 points 5 days ago

Frankie 'friends with David Baddiel' Boyle? He was more than happy to go two feet in on Corbyn, anyone with any platform in this country defaults to the compatible left.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Yes. And yes he was shit on Corbyn. He bought into the antisemitism crap fully and wholly.

There are lots of people who advocate for communism that aren't good at analysis and aren't perfect. He does so just about as openly as anyone can.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Frankie Boyle literally pivoted away from the crimes of Israel to talk shit about Corbyn. And then he wrote fucking think pieces about how actually all the people who smeared Corbyn are to blame for Keir Starmer being a shit. Until he apologizes or someone punches him in the face I can't move past that.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah I don't blame you for that either

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago

You can buy 'I'm literally a communist' jewelry from the Novara store, the same people who employ the likes of Aaron Bastani.

On an island where most of the self professed 'communists' are terfs its worth being critical about who they associate with and why.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I didn't say not to be critical of them? I feel like you're not actually reading what I say. I agree with you.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

I don't see the value in any/critical support of opportunists like FB, especially if trying to radicalise people.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 5 days ago

Half the userbase of this site only exists because of Bernie Sanders and you don't see the value opportunists can have?

I think you should take a step back and look at things in a holistic way. Big picture.

He has to do a training arc to unlock that transformation

[-] [email protected] 27 points 5 days ago

hey that's my sicko i didn't give you permission to use her

[-] [email protected] 51 points 5 days ago

the further his ex friend Rogan drifts right the more based Bill Burr becomes

but seriously if anyone was looking for a "normie kind of dumb gen X guy socialist" there's your guy. right there.

[-] [email protected] 45 points 5 days ago

I also love how he completely catches the "fuck your feelings" crowd off guard. He looks and sounds like one of them, so when he says left wing stuff, they don't even know what to do.

[-] [email protected] 47 points 5 days ago

You love to see it party-parenti

[-] [email protected] 44 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Bill Burr subreddit doesn’t have any hits for Parenti yet

Let’s get the Parenti posting goin folks!

[-] [email protected] 45 points 5 days ago

Coincidentally i was having a shower thought this morning about the similarities between Bill Burr and Michael Parenti

[-] [email protected] 42 points 5 days ago

I'm more impressed that there are Communists in Surprise, Arizona lmao.

The spark that begins the collapse of the American empire and a communist revolution will come from the west valley. A surprising (ha!) amount of revolutionary potential exists in the Aves.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 5 days ago

Well, the revolution sure as hell isn't coming from the east valley.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

The american socialist party used to score the highest in Oklahoma, Nevada, Montana, Washington, California, Idaho, Florida, Arizona and Wisconsin.

[-] [email protected] 33 points 5 days ago

is there an xcancel equivalent for instagram?

[-] [email protected] 31 points 5 days ago

Not really, unfortunately. All the ones that work are closed source I think.

[-] [email protected] 28 points 5 days ago

All right, kids, listen up. Its Uncle Billy's time to read you'all a beddy time storey.

We're gonna start with Mao's Little Red Book...

[-] [email protected] 29 points 5 days ago
[-] [email protected] 26 points 5 days ago

Liberal Joe Rogan? What about Socialist Saul Goodman?

[-] [email protected] 18 points 5 days ago

it's not surprising to me that a comedian might like Parenti, on top of his insightful perspective he has good delivery and he's often funny

[-] [email protected] 17 points 5 days ago

I got to say, Bill is proof that statistically not all things are going to suck and might take you by surprise.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

Bill Burr is gonna make it.. I knew he had the potential but I never had any hope because the hollywood types always let you down

[-] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago

Bill Burr: "Yeah... Parenti, man. I bet he'd never skip leg day."

[-] [email protected] 12 points 5 days ago

Ol Billy Redbook here
