    Ha ha! They do make a pretense at being concerned though! It’s all to give liberals a reason to feel smug and superiorl

      Oh man. In the not too distant past. About a year and a half now. I would say that, Yeah, that was one of my favorite shows and… Its very true. Watching that show give me a sense of superiority for sure.

      In fact, it’s kind of funny. I think that show had a backlash effect on me. I’d watch this show every week expose some problem and then society would do fuck all to fix it. Long story short, I eventually realized that the problem was capitalism, obviously. Went on a journey to learn how to actually solve these problems.

      Now I’m a tankie.

      Thanks Mr. Oliver!

        This show pisses me off specifically because it 1) often glosses over some of the most egregious evidence that points specifically to active US propagandism on issues and 2) never offers any solutions, even when they are staring you in the face.

        Even when the show is right and does good research, that last point gets me. I can’t watch most episodes anymore without getting mad at it, so I stopped watching.

          Yeah that’s where I’m at now, on both accounts. I started a segment on YouTube a month or so ago and could not get more than a couple minutes in. Too frustrating.
