I don't care about a political analysis from a fucking comedian.
Did the facts hurt your feelings?
I'm a German leftist. However anyone who thinks a comedian posting YouTube shorts is a reasonable source for political insight is a moron.
I'm less concerned with who people learn facts from than with the veracity and balance thereof. If it's not for you, that's fine, but there are plenty of people with limited interest in politics that would be willing to listen to a topic that their favorite comedian discusses and reconsider their views on that basis. Gatekeeping politics is how morons keep the greater populace ignorant and disengaged.
