Jerry Seinfeld is a washed up comedian, who cares what his opinions on international geopolitics is???
Who?
What’s the deal with black people? They’re not black, and they’re not people.
-Jerry Seinfeld (probably)
Queue clip of Jimmy gervais, telling all of those Hollywood idiots to take their little Grammy and stfu because they know nothing about the real world.
Add this to his bitching about no one finding him funny anymore when his humor hasn’t changed since '86. He’s just trying to stave off irrelevance. The last great thing he did was a movie about bestiality (BEEstiality).
Man now I can’t watch Seinfeld anymore? Why people got to do this?
Yeah you can, just remember Larry David and the other writers who actually made it good.
Edit: and the cast! So many iconic performances.
Because some people are jerks who don’t want better people to enjoy life. Especially out of touch billionaires like Seinfeld.
You can watch it, it’s even a little better than Family Guy later seasons.
Jerry has been a salty prick ever since people figured out the writers did all the heavy lifting on his show.
probably none to happy that him being a fuckin pedophile became widespread news either.
No, surprisingly I don’t think that bothered him. Otherwise he would not have made this joke.
Jerry Seinfeld is a pedophile
Jerry Seinfeld is a pedophile
You don’t say.
Is this why he’s trying to distract us from the Epstein files?
I’d be surprised if he wasn’t on the list.
“What’s the deaaal with unfunny, stupid comedians?”
If anything good has come of this Israel-Palestine conflict thing, it has been exposing idiots.
Specifically pretend-progressive idiots, for whom progess is great when it’s for their approved groups.
Seinfeld is a known conservative. Has never been known as a progressive.
His whole show is basically about an arsehole and that character is him.
Also “dated” a 17 year old.
Idk, I never would have learned about all the “nuances” within the far right about this issue if not for what happened to Charlie Kirk. It’s not just a pretend-progressive idiot thing. Idiots across the political spectrum have done some very interesting mental gymnastics over this conflict.
Charlie Kirk made some clearly antisemitic statements during his career, but he also fully supported Israel in this conflict. That is fucking dumb, but also sounds pretty on point considering Trump supports Israel in this conflict, yet refused to admonish his neo nazi supporters who were caught on camera during rallies doing sieg heils before his first term. Or his supports that marched with torches chanting “Jews will not replace us.” Not to mention some dude on Ketamine who hopped on stage during his second inauguration to do a few more sieg heils just to really rub it in.
Apparently the shooter was a fan of Nick Fuentes. Fuentes hated Charlie Kirk bc he believed he was “too moderate” in his far right views. Ok…
Nick Fuentes is apparently a Holocaust denier and has called for the death of jews in a holy war. He is very upfront and honest about his antisemitism. I guess this makes Fuentes the kind of guy Jerry Seinfeld apparently prefers as opposed to anyone who might otherwise just simply disagree with him about Palestine.
Nick Fuentes also called Charlie Kirk a hypocrite for claiming to be a Christian while supporting genocide and murder of hundreds of people on a daily basis.
I can’t argue with him on that particular statement. However, it also seems just a bit hypocritical to be an antisemite calling for the death of jews, while claiming to worship a jew who sacrificed himself for the sins of the world, and only asked in return that you love your God as the creator of all things and love your neighbor as yourself.
I always found weird the position some far right people take that
- The Nazis didn’t genocide the Jews
- The Jews should be genocided
Why bother defending 1 if you believe 2?
Probably bc if you claim 1 didn’t really happen, it makes it a lot easier to downplay all the steps that had to happen to reach 2. That way when somebody calls you out for starting down that same road again, you can claim they’re trying to make a big deal out of nothing. Once it’s just normal for one group to be treated as if they’re deserving of less than any other human, nothing is really a big deal.
It’s not like one day there was no genocide, everything was peachy, then suddenly 6 million people were gone. It was a long road that began with normalizing attitudes, then legalizing discrimination, and eventually stripping away an entire group’s perceived humanity along with their rights.
I know some people claim they believe empathy is a made up new age concept, but it’s actually a tool humans have relied on for millions of years, even before they had a name for it. It’s that part of you that says this feels wrong. That feeling should drive you to act, or at least say something because you can recognize how it would feel if it was happening to me instead of them.
It’s can be ignored, but it’s what’s supposed to keep this from happening over and over again, unless individuals within a broader dominant group are allowed to normalize the idea that we’re us and that other group is them, so just ignore that feeling. Eventually this normalizes the narrative they are a danger to us. Inevitably it becomes anyone who doesn’t see that we had no other choice but to do what we did, just doesn’t understand or is refusing to acknowledge what they are really like. They’re not like us. Except in all the ways that they are.
I could understand if 1 was the public position while 2 was the one you speak only among like-minded folk. Then 1 serves as something that makes nazism and other far right ideologies more palatable. Is it the case for Nick Fuentes? I don’t know enough about him.
I don’t know much about Nick Fuentes either, other than what I already said (and that thing with that lady knocking on his door and him tazing her), but I don’t think 2 has to be the ultimate goal to believe one. That’s just where stripping away humanity (regardless of original intention) can always lead.
Like individuals have their own experiences and biases that lead them to beliefs, but when the bias of individuals starts being turned into policy and law, it means that a larger group is now helping to carry out those actions against others.
Think about it like joining the army and being sent to a war even if you don’t agree with your reasons for being there. There are some people that join the army bc they want to fight and kill, but I’ve known a lot of genuinely good people that joined the army at 18 bc they felt like that was their only option at the time, or bc they really thought they could help people by joining.
Not everyone that joins even sees combat, but some people are haunted by the things they end up having to do to complete the orders they’re given during combat. Even if its justified or they believe it was necessary to protect themselves.
Once you have a policy or command in place, you’ve gone from whatever the beliefs of a few people might have been, based on their own interactions and experiences, passed on to people below them in the chain of command being given as orders and carried out.
That’s usually how genocide works. The individuals creating the policy, giving the orders, or spreading propaganda aren’t usually the ones getting their own hands dirty by killing large numbers of people. That disconnect is usually what allows personal beliefs to turn into atrocities.
Ex: Stephen Miller is obviously a complete piece of shit. He can get on TV and spout a bunch of hateful propaganda, but would his lame ass ever be out physically detaining people? Hell no.
Yet he feels comfortable being the one to dramatically scream about needing higher quotas and threaten anyone that questions his policies (and even in his case, I suspect his biggest motivation is the money to be made off of this operation moreso than any actual strong ideology).
That’s a nice summary of some of the mental gymnastics going on!
But the infestation is bad, so widespread. It’s like moving your fridge and there are thousands of roaches under it.
I mean I’d prefer people not being idiots. But yeah
“Just say you hate Jews. Just tie me up and say Jews should die. Spank me and call me an evil little Jew. You know you want to.”
“Mr Seinfeld, children are starving.”
Oh look everyone. It’s the “airline food” guy who peaked in the 90s. He has a political opinion.
Why do they keep trying to fuzz the terminology?
Zionists and Jews are not the same thing. They have very little in common.
Because they’re dishonest; unfortunately, it’s very effective in shutting down public conversations about what’s happening over there.
Sorry Jerry but I don’t hate Jews but I hate the government of Israel
Says guy who never had to deal with the KKK.
This really calls attention to his overdeveloped sense of victimhood.
He needs another reason to whinge about being canceled.
Well, the KKK has never burned a cross on his lawn but the Free Palestine movement made him feel bad.
Weirdly, it is actually true that both the KKK and Hamas have bought support in their communities by doing good public works for people. It’s not what they are best known for, but I don’t think shadow organizations survive for long without building some support somehow.
their “shadow support” that you can’t figure out is hate. Usually hate from religion. KKK are ALL christians, and use their religion to justify their hate. Hamas are ALL muslims, and use their religion to justify their hate. Israelis are ALL jews, and use their religion to justify their hate.
Religions openly hate each other. They all have lived under the motto: There can only be one god(s), only one of us can be right. (even though some lie about that, too). They fight religious wars that last for thousands of years, and that’s how they look at you. A pawn so small that you can’t ever fit into a 1/10th of their next thousand year plan.
That damn people’s front of Judea! Bunch of mindless zealots. Not like us in the Judea’s Peoples front!
We didn’t need two paragraphs to tell us religion has been divisive throughout history. However let’s not oversimplify. The black people terrorized by the KKK were also Christians. Fateh were also Muslims so Hamas didn’t steal their popular support just by being the right religion. Religion is a thing. Not the one and only thing going on.
Not really that weird? Basically every organization does this or is immediately unsuccessful. The only exception is companies under a government that’s stable enough to carry water for them.
This doesn’t mean that the organizations are a net benefit.
