I'd consider myself a "COVID conservative".

I'd already discovered KiA & KiA2 pre-COVID, but I certainly wasn't fully redpilled yet.

I used to find John Oliver entertaining.

I can't go back to some of the normie communities I used to participate in pre-COVID because they are too cringe.

I was the same with John Oliver, but I think that might have been before covid. It was when his show was brand new and I thought, “oh nice, a show about trying to get to the truth of things no matter what.”….. then his bias unraveled at an accelerated pace and it became unwatchable.

I'm not sure if it's just a copypasta on Twitter, but it's so true that Oliver's show is a perfect example of Pavlovian conditioning.

His entire show is:

motormouth stream of consciousness leftist BS
pause with non sequitur to mock a right-wing figure with associated laugh track
no chance for a recovery phase or for the listener to actually break down the quip
immediate segue back into motormoutn propaganda
repeat
