This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

Some people don't believe me when I try to warn them about the content creator grift. I don't care, I'm coming for all of them if they start spouting shit like this to their audience. They have a responsibility towards their viewers.

Second time I see him tweet shit like this.

At this point he should just stop pretending he's any sort of leftist. His mental health will thank him.

And they spend way too much time making cringy, infantile jokes. I get that it’s a podcast and you want to keep it somewhat entertaining, but come on, have some professionalism. At the very least they could add a woman as a regular co-host, because some of the jokes feel really inappropriate sometimes.

Sounds like the problem of becoming more "left" in belief but not interrogating what you grew up in and how it impacts you. I believe it's very possible to be entertaining and even humorous without going for shock jock level of humor (which is what it sounds like the ballpark of by how you describe it). But you can't assume that whatever joke comes to mind is fine just because. Sense of humor is informed by the culture like anything else. Figuring out how to be funny in a way that adheres to more newly adopted ideological principles takes more effort compared to the reflexes of the old, but it's possible to figure out. The way I look at it, a good starting point is to assume that a joke is going to have an ideological bias and go from there, i.e. be conscious about the ideology it espouses. Don't go into it with the belief that jokes can escape ideological influences, that they are "just a joke." Jokes can have powerful rhetorical influence.
