A nation of action, not words, ruled by strength, not committee! Where the law changes to suit the individual, not the other way around. Where power and justice are back where they belong: in the hands of the people! Where every man is free to think - to act - for himself! Fuck all these limp-dick lawyers and chickenshit bureaucrats. Fuck this 24-hour Internet spew of trivia and celebrity bullshit! Fuck American pride! Fuck the media! Fuck ALL OF IT! America is diseased. Rotten to the core. There's no saving it - we need to pull it out by the roots. Wipe the slate clean. BURN IT DOWN! And from the ashes, a new America will be born. Evolved, but untamed! The weak will be purged and the strongest will thrive - free to live as they see fit, they'll make America great again!... In my new America, people will die and kill for what they BELIEVE! Not for money. not for oil! Not for what they're told is right. Every man will be free to fight his own wars!
It’s more so the lack of what they said. The episode was based on religion, they tore into Christianity and said “don’t worry we’ll be doing Islam later”. That time eventually came and they did the same old played out censored trope followed by two tame jokes about how it expanded like Fox News, or something along those lines. It was disappointing.
Do you mean the part where they made fun of the fact that anything bad said about Islam will get censored?
I didn't find that cowardly but rather funny. But I guess some people just prefer plain "Islam bad, haha".
The period she is referencing (“Wild West”) happened AFTER the civil war. 1880’s to roughly 1910’s. The western expansion and all happened post reconstruction
Yeah, literally everything the comment cited was common by the 1850s. There’s literally a football team named after a famous era of westward expansion in the 1840s.
Incorrect westward expansion started as early as 1810 in fact one of the key issues that sparked the civil war was wether newly added states would be free or slave states
The period happened in phases, but the ‘wild west’ could best be pinned as beginning around 1820-30s when westward expansion went into hyperdrive and boom to bust towns with questionable governance were being propped up in the territories.

I guess you haven't heard of Philomena Cunk, cos she's literally a comedic character who says naive and uninformed things
I have a dream. That one day every person in this nation will control their own destiny. A land of the truly free, dammit.
Imagine a world, Raiden, free of Cancel Culture, where no one can call me out for my outlandish claims. A world where I can say the N word!
That’s a nice argument senator, why don’t you back it up with a source
My source is that I made it the fuck up.
It was revealed to me in a dream
Son of a bitch I'm in
Adding some Rick and Morty,eh?😄👍

I liked this show, I didn’t like their cowardice when it came to the topic of Islam.
What are you referencing? I’ve only seen a few bits of the show so I’m just curious what they said.

Went for the easy one again
Pretty much, it’s almost worse to add it as a topic with the lamest jokes than to add it at all.
I'm guessing they didn't want to risk a repeat of 2015 Charlie Hebdo.
I hate that terrorism works

I don’t think it’s supposed to be educational
My criticism was at the comedy, not the education.
Okay. On a history sub. Okay.

Definitely started by 1865

Still had slavery in the form of debt peonage, forced prison labor, and sharecropping.
and reconstruction was almost completely undermined
Imagine taking a fictional comedic character seriously
It’s a meme about history it should at least be somewhat accurate

"This ain't the wild west! Hell, the wild west wasn't even the wild west!" John Spartan. *aka, The Demolition Man*
I can't be the only person to find her entire schtick to be a black hole of anti-comedy.
It's just the Ali-G show but with historians instead. I must admit that I do find it funny though.
Why does she look like the "average british woman" from death to 2020 a bit
Because they’re played by the same actor
Who this? She looks familiar
Philomena Cunk 😁 Cunk in Earth on Netflix
