As a convert to the right back in 2017, it’s been tough trying to find good comedy, from what I saw here your group has so much potential seeing as there’s no market competition to really speak of. Best of luck and look forward to seeing your stuff!

    As a an atheist I can say even with the occasional religious overtones I find the Bee much more entertaining than other comedy outlets. I honestly can't remember the last time SNL made me laugh, it's probably been over a decade. These guys are spot on, the left's comedy comes from a place of smugness and condemnation, it really comes off as having a mean undertone. Talk shows are also unwatchable now. There are no real discussions, it's all posturing with all of them trying to climb the same greased pole.

      If you think that Leftists are the only ones still defensive about their beliefs, try challenging some Christians sometime. However, I don't think their attitude comes from a place of deep-seated insecurity or doubt, on the contrary, it likely is due to their self-righteous sanctimony. They see themselves as these Quixotic crusaders who have to save the World. They believe themselves innately superior morally based on nothing other than what they believe. In short, they're defensive because they're so steeped in a view of themselves as these righteous crusaders that it makes them feel entitled to power and above reproach, so all criticism or challenge is seen as unjustified and usurpation. Ironically, attitudes shared by some Christians.

    "George Orwell is recognized today as one of the most original political writers of the twentieth century, particularly in his understanding of the evils of communism, most famously expressed in Animal Farm (1945) and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). While Orwell’s anticommunism dates back to the mid-1930s, especially his experience during the Spanish Civil War, he was at first less insightful about the other great totalitarian movement of that “low, dishonest decade,” fascism. (Orwell rarely distinguished between fascism and Nazism.) The outbreak of war in September 1939 and, in particular, the fall of France in the summer of 1940 clarified Orwell’s recognition of the danger that Nazism posed for England.
    Orwell’s critique of communism is both incisive and original. He was among the first writers to recognize that communism was not a revolutionary force but instead was a new, dangerous form of totalitarianism, a powerful tool for controlling the masses. Conversely, his initial comments on fascism were curiously flat and imitative of the standard left-wing interpretation-that is, fascism was nothing more than the capitalist system in extremis....Orwell further angered his comrades on the Left by arguing that fascism and communism were not ideological opposites but instead shared similar views. In a review of Eugene Lyons’s book about his time in the Soviet Union, Assignment to Utopia, Orwell pointed out that both fascism and communism concentrate power in the hands of an elite, and that the working classes are reduced in both systems to “a status resembling serfdom” (CEJL, 1:370).

    I like what they had to say about comedy - that it gets you to think more than a debate. When we laugh, our guard is down. We can laugh with others, and think about why we are laughing. Comedy is often tragedy turned upside-down. A good example is the movie, "Blazing Saddles." I remember seeing it when I was younger and laughing at the racially motivated jokes. Almost immediately, I had to ask myself "Why am I laughing at this?" It helped me break down my own prejudices and laugh at them.

  • @HVACSoldier
    @HVACSoldier 2 года назад +19

    That is true about comedy. Shows like “All in the Family,” “The Jefferson’s,” “Good Times,” “Murphy Brown,” “Maude,” etc. couldn’t be written today. Someone would get “offended.”
    I’ve had a 24 hour ban from “Facebook.”

      I'm still singing "Movin' on Up" in my heart. Those shows were so good - they were controversial, but clean. As a very young person, those shows were very influential and made the topics of the day understandable in a non-confrontational, non-violent way. They're never be anything like them again.

    Sol Alinsky in Rules for Radicals states that satire is one attack that there is no defense against. In the 60's people like Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman used satire and humor constantly. But now that the radicals have real power they want to shut down anyone using this weapon against them.

    • @davidhunt7427

      *_[Humanity] has unquestionably one really effective weapon, laughter. Power, money, persuasion, supplication, persecution, these can lift at a colossal humbug, push it a little, weaken it a little, century by century, but only laughter can blow it to rags and atoms at a blast. Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand._* ~ Mark Twain
      When comparing Saul Alinsky's *_Rules for Radicals_* to Alexis de Tocqueville's *_Democracy in America,_* one finds that in the 19th century the common man felt fully empowered to help himself in voluntary cooperation with his fellow free Americans, while in the 20th century supposedly all the common man can do is bitterly complain for he has no agency of his own,.. only the other, the powerful, the oppressors have power to effect change themselves. Government schools today teach dependency, and self-esteem as something everyone can be given,.. rather than each of us having to achieve self-esteem, each for ourselves,.. ultimately by our own responsible choices, alone.
      *_The mania for giving the Government power to meddle with the private affairs of cities or citizens is likely to cause endless trouble, through the rivalry of schools and creeds that are anxious to obtain official recognition, and there is great danger that our people will lose our independence of thought and action which is the cause of much of our greatness, and sink into the helplessness of the Frenchman or German who expects his government to feed him when hungry, clothe him when naked, to prescribe when his child may be born and when he may die, and, in time, to regulate every act of humanity from the cradle to the tomb, including the manner in which he may seek future admission to paradise._* ~ Mark Twain

    There is one thing driving me crazy about this. It is definitely the most intriguing aspect and yet no one has commented on it yet though it’s the most important thing. And that is the thought that someone will be reading my comment here, making me nearly as famous as the person who posted the video in the first place. And I'm thrilled to think that maybe you who are reading this might respond to my comment. Or will the video poster be so arrogant as to think I should be commenting about the video and therefore delete my comment. That would be the greatest injustice.
