    I agree with this, though he does claim to be a Libertarian. But IIRC, the Libertarians took him to task for his positions and rejected that claim.

    I still watch his show, but more for the trainwreck aspect of it. The standup section is sometimes okay, but some of the panel discussion topics and the direction they take, including the panel guests that are chosen - some definite choices are being made there, yikes.

      I stopped watching when he made every single episode a reactionary screed against trans people and covid restrictions.

      His scabbing just confirmed my opinion that he’s a shitbird who thinks he’s owed money and attention for being famous.

          Sure but because of the backlash, not the principle.

          He only cancelled the shows because doing them would hurt his career more than not doing them. There was no solidarity with the actual people who do the work of putting him on the air; he was fully willing to do the show and break the picket line before before he realized the strike was ending soon enough anyway.

          He’s just another “fuck you, I got mine” reactionary.
