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?
All I ever really hear of him in recent years is when he has cringeworthy awkward run-ins with other comedians he's pissed off at, either for political reasons or obscure personal ones: bill maher, anthony cumia, theo von...
There's little that's mischievous about his joking these days, he just seems like a miserable ball of spite, occasionally spitting out the complete shittest takes on things. I imagine Burr's picked up a sense of the cucked out image that has come to spread of him online and doesn't like it one bit, nor how it all revolves around his wife - justifiably so, since it's obvious that she contributes to his misery and retardation. His 'Rittenhouse just wanted to murder people amirite?!?' stuff clearly came off the back of a convo with her, in a white-hating bubble tone deaf to reality, for example.
I just find it hard to laugh at anything said by people who appear to be inwardly seething while trying to use 'bantz' as a tool to lash out. He comes off like an angry man in a brittle shell that nobody in his circles will dare to take a crack at, partly because of his roasting but mostly also because of his showbiz cachet that comedians want to suck off.
