Some of the weirdo ass lemmy computer janitors in this thread seem to dislike him. Which means he’s probably on the right side.

I think they say that because he portrays himself angrily, and people on the right can really relate to that.

not all anti-trump people are progressive. plenty of center and right-leaning folks say fuck trump. not enough, but plenty.

also it’s not even progressive to say “don’t blame immigrants”. that’s just basic humanity and not letting republican fear mongering drive you rabid.

As someone who listens to his podcast regularly, he's a borderline socialist at this point, but he has blinders on when it comes to "both sides" bullshit.

It's probably because he doesn't want to alienate half of his audience, which I get. But it's super frustrating to hear because he's right there.

In terms of right and left he's pretty much the center. American "centrists" are actually right wingers in other countries. Heck, even the Dems who consider themselves leftists are actually on the right.

If they ask Bill, which the media does, he'll tell you, "Why the fuck are you asking me?" He knows his political views are and should be meaningless. He's a comedian. The news media is responsible for the mess we're in, stop asking comedians what they think and stop white washing fascism.

He might appear to be in the middle, because he also goes after Democrats. And while they might not be nearly as bad as the party of American fascists, Democrats are very far from being perfect. They have at most a handful of decent high profile people. Bill Burr is just reasonable and calls out assholes, no matter their affiliation.

Bill is a real American. I like that he's so anti-racist.

And he did marry a black woman so he is far from conservative.

Because Bill says enough crap that aligns with right wing views that they skip the rest.

No war but class war

Exactly, all the major social conflicts are fueled by a few very powerful people to distract us from going after them.

Lately?
