I see now in hindsight that he was always anti-white, but I didn't really see it at the time because he was more subtle back then and he also would gripe about the white guilt movies.
I viewed him as one of the lone brave truth tellers, particularly about feminism and women.
What a fall from grace he turned out to be. Brave is not how I'd describe Bill Burr.
I rarely am embarrassed for liking someone. In middle school, I, like all other middle schoolers at that time, thought Dane Cook was hilarious. Now I don't think he's the worst thing ever like he's made out to be, but I can see that it was more about perfect timing with Dane Cook. I was the exact right age for Dane Cook to be hilarious to me. I don't feel embarrassed because I understand the timing.
With Bill Burr, he actually makes you embarrassed you ever recommended him as someone who's "raw" and "tell's it like it is".
I mean it doesn't feel like that long ago I was doing that.
Also the guy who always said the government wants to eliminate people and drastically reduce the population goes all in for the vax and says people who don't get it are conspiratorial and whatever.
Has anyone so blatantly 180'd as Bill Burr?
I'd never heard of him until The Mandalorian and then everyone was singing his praises and saying what a great comedian he is.
So I gave him a listen. I think he's funny and smart and I love the back-and-forth he does with his wife.
Not someone I'd listen to often, but certainly someone worth listening to when you have the time. I'm sure like everyone he's backed the wrong horse in his personal outlook every now and then but I get the idea that he's always open to that being something he might do and is happy to be corrected and learn from it when it happens.
So the thing is, if you haven't heard him before he had his wife, you'd see a much starker contrast. I actually stopped listening to his podcast when she became more of a presence even before they got married. It was clear his opinions were changing dating this black highly liberal woman. Like u/Mpetey123 said, he was always liberal (something I didn't pick up on the time), but Nia (that's her name right?) was like gasoline on that fire.
If you can find the old Bill Burr episodes when he was single, it's very different. His anti-white liberal stuff is more obvious now, and would have been then had I listened to the aforementioned O&A stuff at the time, but his overall liberal-ness came out in much more noticeable ways after dating Nia.
Compared to the utter softness of the modern day "comedians" he seems like he has edge, but I'm comparing him to the Bill Burr I listened to back in the early to mid 2010s. That's a very different guy, or at least he hid it better.
He got famous for being pro-male but that mostly went away once he married the negress, now he's a basic bitch liberal like everyone else.
Sooner or later, everyone has to sell their soul if they want to take the ticket.
Nothing smart comes out of Massachusetts anymore
