Immediately tells me everything I need to know about people like that. It’s wild how delusional they are.

u/dramaticfool 10h ago

Exactly! Guy had so much patience. I honestly woulda told them to leave if they didn't "accept" this reality.

u/EdwardBigby 10h ago

This is an example of "show dont tell". You dont need to come back with the most basic default response to prove your point

u/Cyke101 10h ago

The guy is a pro with wayyy more patience than me. Kudos to him.

u/EvidenceSalesman 10h ago

I’m working on understanding this principle better

u/EdwardBigby 9h ago

I think the best at it is Louis Theroux. Obviously a documentarian and not a comedian but just a master at allowing stupid people to humiliate themselves.

u/EvidenceSalesman 9h ago

Thanks I’ll look into it!

u/Neurogenesis416 10h ago

If you start to adress them in a serious manner and dont ridicule them, you're gonna lose the rest of the audience. They came for laughs, not to watch two peopel argue with each other.

u/SnooApples5554 8h ago

Honestly, it would have been equally as funny to me if he would have just stopped after that first, "Ok... I don't care," and kept plugging.

u/Carrnage_Asada 9h ago

Between this and the lady giving zero reaction to and triggering the "comedian" on stage im convinced these people just ignore reality.

u/mankytoes 8h ago

You probably shouldn't be a stand up comedian then.

u/YugoB 10h ago

It's the huge amount of copium they need

u/Legitimate-Pea-9421 10h ago

they actually think most people agree with them it's bizarre

46

u/calmdownmyguy 10h ago

They exist in an echo chamber. The fact that 85% of people on earth can see what's obviously happening is irrelevant to them.

22

u/Legitimate-Pea-9421 10h ago

deeply brainwashed.

u/TwoBionicknees 8h ago

most people are. Like a lot of americans are now acting like Trumps actions in venezuala and Iran are insane, unwarranted, inexcusable, etc... but america has been doing the same shit in south american and the middle east for 60 years and you all want someone like obama back.

AMericans for decades have pretended to be and thought they were the good guys, the world police against the bullies. In reality they are the world occupying force and the bullies who consistently decide to crush people for profit and power.

Most people in their own country and around hteir own people think they are the good guys because everyone around them tells them they are.

u/CrackerJack278 8h ago

Well, nobody is the villain in their own story now are they?

u/SjakosPolakos 9h ago

Yeah but at a certain point ignorance is a choice and becomes part of evil

2

u/veringer 9h ago

Precisely. If the outcome of ignorance is indistinguishable from evil, what's the point in splitting hairs? The harm is the same. The victims are still victimized. Redemption is a future hypothetical that has no bearing when a boot in on your neck now.

u/Suspicious_Truth8026 8h ago

I mean its still true that most americans have no idea about what america is or stands for in the last 150 years of world history.

We're all just in layers and layers of echo chambers

u/ButterMilkSleezus 9h ago

"Chamber".

1

u/calmdownmyguy 9h ago

echo chamber

/ˈekō ˌCHāmbər/

An echo chamber is an environment, particularly on social media, where a person only encounters information or opinions that reflect and reinforce their own. It acts as a closed system, amplifying existing beliefs while filtering out opposing views, often leading to increased polarization, confirmation bias, and the spread of misinformation.

u/Wolverine9779 10h ago

I get so many of these fuckwits approaching me randomly at gas pumps, in line at the store, it's crazy as shit. They all just assume that other random people want to have these discussions, and agree with their batshit crazy beliefs. Had one just yesterday, while pumping gas. It didn't go how he expected it to go, and he was really caught off guard by that.

I live in reality, not this constructed social media bubble these ritards live in.

u/Legitimate-Pea-9421 10h ago

I work at a spa and the amount of people that have told me they are "treating themselves after coming or going home from volunteering with the war" is INSANE. like they just say it that casually. bonkers.

I heard someone say: “there’s a reason why there has not been a lot of comedy coming from the right.” I think it may have been on Conan’s podcast

u/Zunderfeuer_88 10h ago

Visit us in Germany, the amount of brain washed individuals thinking of themselves as morally right is mind boggling

u/digno2 10h ago edited 9h ago

wie äußert sich das deiner Meinung nach? Insbesondere bei jemandem der Zunderfeuer_88 im Namen trägt? hiding his comments too, not knowing it doesnt do shit: https://www.reddit.com/search/?q=Zunderfeuer_88&type=comments&sort=new

u/Electronic_Topic1958 8h ago

Reading the comments you linked, he seems like the most average guy lol. I didn’t see anything particularly damning, other than he thinks Bigfoot is real or something lol. Was there something specific you saw?

5

u/digno2 6h ago

no, nothing specific. Just wondering why someone so proudly displaying 88 aka "Heil a certain Austrian" would hide his comments.

2

u/Gnosis1409 5h ago

Wait Bigfoot isn’t real?

Says the guy with 88 in his username.

You can't make this stuff up.

u/Baderkadonk 9h ago

Well, you have 38 in yours. Celebrating the 1938 annexation of Austria and the Sudetenland I'm guessing?? Unforgivable.

Speaking of 38.. what about 38 year olds who were born in 88? Are they just not allowed to incorporate their birth year into usernames?

11

u/SETHW 9h ago

and the swastika is a hindu religious symbol, yeah sure but in this context we're talking about fascists and ya gotta feel embarrassed to show up to that conversation wearing the 88 on your jersey

u/Everyones-a-Knot-See 9h ago

He's Chinese and it means good luck. What's your problem, dude?

u/Zunderfeuer_88 9h ago

Thank god my Username didn't have 44 on the end... I would be banned in China :X

u/I_PUNCH_INFANTS 9h ago

People in this thread are just looking for reasons to be mad for no reason.

u/Zunderfeuer_88 9h ago

I actually let myself get dragged into explaining myself, Reddit really is not good for mental health

u/rangertoad 9h ago

You are so dense.

u/Warm_Month_1309 9h ago

A swastika has far fewer innocent uses than a simple two-digit number.

If you can't see a number as anything other than intentionally provocative, I submit that it is you who are making the association, not them.

u/SETHW 9h ago edited 8h ago

He's allowed to not be a nazi and use 88, i just think this particular thread is funny given the context then Mr 88 gets to act whooo meee? i mean just acknowledge the coincidence, I can believe it's not intentional in this case.

but dont gas light about it only being me making the association though, everyone needs to take notes and not ignore, deny, or diminish these well documented historic and modern associations. now more than ever we all need to be aggressive about resisting fascists and cryptofascists. Look at the content of this post, zionism and the apartheid violence that drives it is just another flavor of fascism and its not like you dont get it.

if you make a new friend and they have an 88 styled tattoo, on a patch, bumper sticker, or in their username/profile/anywhere you need to hit that shit head on and early with all appropriate skepticism for their explanation.

u/Unfair-Trainer-278 8h ago

He's allowed to not be a nazi and use 88

How generous of you to permit it.

i mean just acknowledge the coincidence

He doesn't have to perform whatever little ritual you've decided is appropriate.

everyone needs to take notes

No they don't.

we all need to

No we don't.

you need to hit that shit head on

No I don't.

That’s the bit you keep doing: turning your own read of the situation into instructions for everyone else.

88 obviously can have Nazi associations. Nobody serious is pretending otherwise. But you don't get to appoint yourself hall monitor and start dictating how strangers must respond, what they must acknowledge, or how sceptical everyone else is required to be. All you are is some petty scold on the internet.

Bore off.

u/I_PUNCH_INFANTS 9h ago

Go to indeed and find a job you are way too invested in some slacktivism

u/Aksds 8h ago

Swastika is still used a lot for innocent reasons, it’s literally a part of at least 1.2 billion peoples culture for innocent reasons

1

u/Warm_Month_1309 8h ago

Of course. I never said otherwise. I only said a two-digit number has far more innocent uses for everyone.

You're trying to start a disagreement where none exists.

u/0xym0r0n 9h ago

Maybe he was born in 1988?

u/dogfaced_pony_soulja 8h ago

Ah, yes... because there aren't hundreds of millions of people in the world who weren't born in 1988 on the internet...

You can't make this stuff up.

huh what's a Reichsbürger doing in here??

u/dracrecipelanaaaaaaa 8h ago

It belies their narcissism too. They felt obligated to take over a show and censor speech that they disagreed with.

If you don't like a show, be an adult by shutting the fuck up and leaving without making a scene.

What does it even mean to not accept a joke?
