    More like blissfully ignorant. My experience with conservatives is that they like to sweep problems under the rug and pretend everything to be fine.

    Ignorance is bliss, and to persist with conservatism requires embracing an ever expanding level of wilful ignorance.

    Privilege. Especially white privilege. It’s easier to be happy when you’re benefiting from the invisible suffering of others.

      The funny part is that he’s known as a heckle comedian but has publicly stated that he hates hecklers. He’s only known as a heckle comedian because he has zero qualms about tearing them down as soon as they try. His comebacks are usually pretty brutal because he just wants to end the heckling and keep his set moving.

    Stop censoring these people’s names and faces. They said it. They said it out loud and proud, in front of god and everyone. Why are we afraid to show them?!

      Some places do have rules against name and shame, to be fair. Not sure that this is one of them, but still a safe general rule to follow.

        Those places deserve pushback on that bullshit

        If someone said it in public then they’re fine with it being out there

        You may be looking for the phrase “chilling effect”. It’s not just for legal stuff now, but for doing anything proper because it brings too much trouble.

          Yes, that would work to describe it. It’s also a phenomenon that has existed since our pre-human ancestors began social relationships.

    I’ve noticed that conservatives cant feel empathy. They only feel sympathy. This is why they don’t understand any injustice until if effects them personally. This is the root psychological reasoning behind the leopards eating faces memes.

      The richest man in the world, who has only ONCE paid anything approaching a 20% tax rate and crowed like he was a PHILANTHROPIST when he did, is removing all social programs that are a safety net for the poorest and most desperate among us.

      Empathy? Sympathy? They are vampires.

          Completely unrelated, I had a character for Age of Sigmar’s Soulbound (TTRPG). I played a ghoul named Jeff Bezos and I doubled down on the ghoul madness.

          I’m just waiting to bring back Jeff with his now 2 imaginary friends, Musky and Zucky.

    Lack of empathy and utterly selfish. It enables these trash humans to take others rights and believe the lie that doing it is a good thing.

    People these days seem happiest when ostracizing, excluding, and destroying another’s life just because they are different.

    Empathy is dead, because if you show empathy it’s grounds for expulsion. Anyone still capable of empathy has been ejected from society by the twitter mob over the past decade. The only people left are callous bullies.

    He’s so funny, he does it for work! He’s an excellent comedian, one who doesn’t invite hecklers but will destroy them.

    He’s smart because he’s educated. He’s also a sharp wit but he just generally knows a lot of shit.

    Sadly, his tour stop near me is too far away so I can’t go.

    I wouldn’t praise Hofstetter too much. His comedy is horrendous and he relies pretty much entirely on bringing in paid hecklers. Every time he shows up on PKA, he is not just unfunny but he kills all the enjoyment of the episode.
