See, I’m someone who can’t stand Jimmy Kimmel. I find him both unfunny and very annoying as a person, and I never thought there would come a day where I would actually defend him vigorously, but here we are.
This is truly inexcusable. This is the most blatant violation of the first amendment possible. This is a clear cut example of the government coercing and colluding with corporations to censor a private citizen on a private show for comments that are perfectly legal. He was only censored because MAGA morons got triggered by a statement that’s not even controversial. Even IF it was controversial, that’s literally the whole point of free speech. It’s to defend offensive, controversial, and unpopular opinions from government persecution.
See, I didn’t care much when Colbert got cancelled because it seemed like it was a business decision, sure, whatever. But this? This is MAGA crossing a line that should never be crossed. We’re starting to enter into actual tyranny territory from this administration. The only MAGA conservatives left are either slimy opportunists or blind loyalists, so I’m not holding my breath on them holding themselves accountable. However, I am hoping that everyone else stands up and takes a stand against this because the consequences of this are very, very serious.
Forgive me, but I’m just trying to wrap my head around how many people have been sleeping and still are.
Tyranny is already here. It’s been here since they started taking people to concentration camps. Like how do people not get that? The line has already been crossed and then some. Tyranny is here and will continue to reign until you and everybody else who is asleep or groggy are willing to wake up and do the hard but correct actions.
I am amazed and shocked every time the line is crossed.
It is crossing it farther and farther as well, with increasing similarities to other authoritarian lead countries in history.
My shock is not one of ignorance but defying normalcy.
However this stuff has been great for people who didn’t pay attention much before or believe stuff before. This time the administration is barely trying to sugarcoat what they are doing.
I think of “the line” as the event horizon around a black hole. You can recognize it from a distance, but it’s not like there’s a physical barrier you go through when you pass it. That means that if you were actually falling into the hole, you wouldn’t necessarily know when you’ve past the “point of no return.” It’s all just more freefall (and eventual spaghettification) from your point of view. Only those on the outside, looking in, could see that you’re already full and truly screwed.
I think we passed the event horizon long ago. Anyone talking about “going back to normal” (as I’ve seen some politicians say) is depressingly naive. There is no turning back - the only way out is through.

Thanks for waking up.
ABC is goosestepping now.
They were goosestepping collaborators when they capitulated to Trump with Stephanopoulos.
Charlie Kirk may turn out to be the Poland radio tower for US Civil War 2.

Watch the monologue before viewing it becomes a crime. He didn’t even make fun of Saint Charlie.
He does make fun of Lord Trump though. Which, as we all know, is illegal.
We’re now talking about this instead of how trump is a pedo.
This seems kinda important too though
Sure seems like “minor celebrity” is the threshhold at which anyone gives a fuck.
What? The issue is that government is directly silencing someone by employing threats through FCC not that it’s Jimmy Kimmel
It was an issue when it was schoolteachers losing their jobs and students being expelled.
But now people give a fuck about the issue because minor celebrity.
Because a big name can actually rally resistance
Because no one else is worth anything in the US.
omg take your defeatist whiny attitude to your anime pillow.
Y’all! This isn’t ABC - this is conservative Sinclair and Nexstar Media Group!
@[email protected] nailed this one by reading the article.
Nexstar Media Group forced ABC’s hand on this by saying they would run non-ABC programming on all their local TV stations they own. They’re in the process of getting FCC approval for a $6 billion deal that would give them ownership of 265 local TV stations in 44 states.
Meanwhile, Sinclair Media, which also owns tons of local TV stations, isn’t letting Kimmel’s rerun on Friday be broadcast anyway, instead showing a CK tribute show. So they were likely also going to do the same to ABC and just hadn’t said anything publicly because they don’t need deal approved right now.
This is the media version of Red-Stating, where state legislatures were slowly turned by the GOP which gave them the power to Gerrymander Dem-held House districts away and turn them red in 2021. How do you stop a global juggernaut liberal media company? You marginalize them by buying up all the local affiliates and stations that still make up a large part of their market. You buy up everything that sits in between the viewer and the media itself. Once the media company withers, you shove in your own programming as gaps open up.
Well, it’s ABC who don’t want to stand up to it
There’s a word for what is happening: Gleichschaltung
Damn, but honestly I can’t boycott Disney any more than I already have.
If anyone needs help setting up a home server with sonarr, transmission with a VPN via docker and Linux, I can point you to some good resources.
The setup for sonarr would be great. I use torrents, and can never seem to get past the indexing step.
For sonarr I just followed the wiki honestly for getting it set up.
What exactly are you referring to with the indexing step? Do you mean setting up a indexer so sonarr can search for torrents?
This is your reminder that Disney owns ABC. Christofacist will not be any stretch for them, and they have a king background in war propaganda films.
BOYCOTT ABC!! And send angry letters to cowardly execs who did this!!
Point of order. ABC is owned by Disney. Make of that what you will.
Everything makes sense now. Attached: Mickey marching with his swastica armband
Now Jimmy can go NSFW on a different medium
Imagine one of the stars of The Man Show being considered opposition to one of the most misogynistic administrations in our recent history.
This is madness!
The first amendment is just a suggestion now.
And so I have now cancelled Disney +. What a bunch of cowards. Over such a minor comment directed at Trump.
