That’s rich coming from John Cleese, he was on the side of fucking over the peaceful state of international relatioships when it came to brexit, supporting the pricks that he’s now criticizing.
He should just fuck off to the cayman islands and shut up. He cashed in all his Monty Python/Fawlty Towers goodwill when he became Basil
We can’t unite against a greater evil because we look to the right and they’re always right of us.
We look to the right and see the pro-trans crowd as well but making them our enemy while the people further right of them ruin the world won’t work out for either of us.
That’s what people are talking about by the above. If you were better informed you would have already known that.
Like cool, we disagree with him but we can disagree with him on those things not on war crimes. If supporting him would stop the war crimes then we could support him until the war crimes stopped though that isn’t relevant in this scenario.
Yeah, the left doesn’t have gender differences (outside of biology) so people feeling like they’re a different gender means there’s too much societal power in the label. Take any person say they are xx or xy and then switch it. They’re still the same person.
However that wasn’t the point, it was about how not being left enough stops us from uniting against the people right of all of us.
That’s not a common opinion among the left. Being pro human rights is definitely not a right leaning view. Sounds like trying to throw trans people under the bus and get buddy buddy with centrists, which is also not a left view.
What do you mean by look to the right then? The left does see the right as bad because of what they do and support. Standing with people on the right, Republicans and conservative Democrats is what keeps dragging us further right. It seems like it’s always the victims responsibility to be the better person and not the aggressors to be better.
Dammit. I thought he was funny, turns out he’s a xenophobic fuckhead.
I actually already couldn’t enjoy Fawlty Towers anymore, the racism is obvious to me now that I’m an adult. It’s distasteful. I guess for John, it wasn’t just “the times” the show was made in. Ah well, plenty of not-fuckheads whose work can be enjoyed.
But that’s what I’m saying - I don’t think those kind of jokes are funny anymore. When I was younger I thought it was all in good fun, that nobody really meant it and that’s why it was funny, but then I saw the world and realised it’s very much not. The humour was drained away by the hatred.

I feel thats two different things though. You can be an asshole about European union but still dislike Trumps antics.
John Cleese on trans people
(He’s definitely an asshole about more than the EU)
Still an asshole in the end. Assholes disliking another asshole doesn’t make them less of an asshole.
The fault in the left.
Yeah, our fault for not being buddies with the bullies bully.

I’m confused, are you saying pro trans is right leaning?
Yeah, the left doesn’t have gender differences (outside of biology) so people feeling like they’re a different gender means there’s too much societal power in the label. Take any person say they are xx or xy and then switch it. They’re still the same person.

You might be too easily confused.

Not supporting shithead right wingers?
It’s the virtue of the left.
He spent most of his adult life dodging taxes – no surprise that he would be pro-brexit.
There’s a big difference between supporting fascists and dictators, and supporting the UK shooting it’s own dick off.
But yeah, people shouldn’t support either.
well, supporting one leads to strengthening the other. a fuckload of brexit propaganda money came from russia, which should make it suspect.

He’s both: funny and a xenophobic fuckhead.
Although… I’m not so sure that he’s still funny these days. It would seem not.
Yeah, I agree. I guess I should have said I used to think he was funny. It’s been a long damn time since he said anything that made me laugh.
You’re allowed to enjoy something for what it is while recognizing it’s problematic.
Or follow gay humour where you find a bunch of fag jokes but you’re laughing at the bumbling fool/homophobic person.

Oh noes: muh purity, muh cringe. Will anyone think of the cringe?
