Bo Burnham on political correctness in comedy. Thoughts?

It's because so many people have lost the ability to think for themselves. They don't just want FACTS. They want to know how those facts should be interpreted, and WHAT they should think about them.

In the "old days", you would watch TV to gain information, then form you own opinion. But now, we have partisan news orgs, that not only tell you facts, they also SPIN them for you, and tell you how you should interpret those facts. It's not only FACTS that people are blindly consuming. It's OPINIONS as well.

One retard goes on the internet, and says Bo Burnham did this joke. Many people at this point, would listen to the joke, and form their own opinion as to whether it's offense. But, there is a GROWING MINORITY of socialist/PC youths, who don't form their own opinion. They just listen to whatever mouthpiece they hear the info from(ALWAYS a liberal, biased outlet), then make that into their opinion.

People want to fight "racism", because it's pretty much seen as the ONLY evil in this world. It's something I disagree with greatly. Martin Luther King did too. It's not a racial problem. The problem is that a few hundred people have more wealth than the rest of the world combined. It doesn't matter if all of the sudden racism 100% disappeared. It wouldn't fix our MAJOR problem, with is a lack of power to the people, and a VAST income inequality.
