I wonder what top quality blackmail material they have on Steven Colbert for him to do this. Does he think this is funny? Do people find this funny? (twitter.com)

He's in on it. They have to sell hard to get normies on board. After that they can outlaw dissent, which is their ultimate dream.

The more absurd the better, because of sunk-cost mentality for everyone that "goes along to get along." People who let this happen are required by their own conscience to never back out.

The social engineers have gone full bore because this is their gambit to gain a terrible control over society. Unquestioning loyalty of a populace too cowardly to resist, and then too ashamed to refuse to obey them after.

Can he not even make his blatant propaganda funny though, so people don't realize it's propaganda?

That's what he and Jon Stewart used to do; they were masters at it. This is just sad.

There's no need for the mask any more. You masters know you won't do shit.

It's simpler than that. People who disagree with what he says don't watch anymore and he doesn't care because he has fuck you money.

He's just saying fuck you to the proles instead of the elites.

I think the blatancy is part of the ploy. The media trusts in their ability to sell so much that they have moved up a phase to selling obvious shit as a form of demoralization. The comedian in question may just be a washed up nobody who's long stopped trying very hard, but the producers and writers are rolling with that, I think.

Less cynically, this is a knock-on effect of 2008 - present politics: mask fully dropped. Comedy used to be funny because the writers and comedians used to pretend to be for everybody. That pretense tempered their blithering idiocy to the point it was actually a consumable product. It also, as you point out, made their ever-present propaganda actually somewhat effective since it was designed to convince rather than berate.

I haven’t seen him in a while. He looks terrible. Did they forget to cue laughter from the audience? Even a laugh track would be more comfortable than that awkward silence…

I don’t watch television but it looks like torture these days.

Edit: One more thing, aren’t people tired of hearing about these vaccines? I’m burnt out and I don’t even watch TV.

He's got really creepy beady little eyes. He looks dead inside.

There is no blackmail. These people all devout believers. They believe if they do this, they are safe from ever being wrong, from ever being the bad guys, from ever having to face any bad things ever again. If you stick your head in the sand and let big brother take control of your lives, everything will be okay and good and rainbow kittens. They're so fucking scared of their own shadows, they would shit themselves to death if you showed them daylight. The reason he's not funny anymore is because he lost his fear of dying and embraced the blue pill.

Hardly need to change a word of a post I made 2 months ago:

I've seen people call it a parody, but there's no parody. There's no satire, setup, punchline or comedy at all. It's literally just people singing about politics using the melodies and simplistic lyricism of nursery rhymes and Disney songs, for the benefit of themselves and other adults. This is how they digest the world and propagate the messages that keep them emotionally secure.

These people have willingly lobotomised themselves to make their existence more comfortable. Those of us who point out the lunacy then become the new danger to the status quo. Incredibly dangerous times. On the bright side, I probably won't live many more decades.

The sheep have had their medicines and now the desperation for "normal" is going to sky rocket. That steep decline in uptake? Expect riots and segregation from the shottskies in the hopes of forcing enough people to meet this magic number needed to be out of lockdown. (not that they'll keep their promise even if the number was reached)

His eyes: Dead. Is this the best take they had of him, just bouncing his head. How much botox has robbed his face of motion.

2020, Stevie CockBurp on Trump death trains:

https://archive.vn/oQ210

businessinsider

6 Nov 2020 09:37:10 UTC

Stephen Colbert broke down in tears and called Trump a fascist after the president's conspiracy-laden rant at the White House Sonam Sheth 

The late night host Stephen Colbert broke down during Thursday's monologue over President Donald Trump's grievance-filled rant from the White House press briefing room hours earlier.

"You only survived this up until now because a lot of voters didn't want to believe everything that was obvious to so many of us, that Donald Trump is a fascist," Colbert said, adding that the GOP needs to "get off the Trump train" because "it's not a passenger train, and he'll load you on it sometime, too."

Stevie has become incredibly stupid.

He's not even trying to pretend at this point....Just sits there like he's a typical YT reactor.

Why would they need blackmail material? Or are you actually so fucking stupid that you support the faggot and his propaganda? You actually think he was ever “good” in any objective sense? That he created real content? That his entire existence hasn’t been a carefully calculated and coordinated propaganda campaign spanning decades?

You wouldn’t think “they blackmailed him” otherwise. You actually believe the other things he has been paid to say.

Sad.

Ah, so just a lack of prescience on the part of the observer, then. Gotcha.
