    Yes. I asked what effect getting Kimmel back on air has. I don’t know if you’re familiar with him, but he is actually a talk show host. Not every public figure has political power. You sound like the conservatives who think they saved Bud Light and Cracker Barrel from the scheming woke. It’s embarrassing. I already forgot who Kimmel even was after that incident until you reminded me.

    I’m not the one peddling futility, you’re the one claiming we ought to be satisfied with boycotts. I suppose we can wait a few years, double back, and see who was right. Are you game? I can set gloating that I was right as a reminder in OrgMode five years from today.

      So you’ve decided to be condescending. Let’s see how that works out for you.

      Not every public figure has political power.

      And sometimes, that public figure gets treated unjustly, which causes a firestorm, which elevates the power and influence of said public figure. As in the case of Jimmy Kimmel.

      You sound like the conservatives who think they saved Bud Light and Cracker Barrel from the scheming woke. It’s embarrassing.

      You sound like a typical lemmy.ml user. This makes it impossible for you to sound compelling or thought provoking. As such, I floss my ass crack with your assessment.

      I already forgot who Kimmel even was after that incident until you reminded me.

      Let me see if I can help you out:

      I don’t know if you’re familiar with him, but he is actually a talk show host.

      There, you’re all caught up.

      I’m not the one peddling futility, you’re the one claiming we ought to be satisfied with boycotts.

      No, you’re doing the lemmy.ml member schtick.

      I suppose we can wait a few years, double back, and see who was right. Are you game? I can set gloating that I was right as a reminder in OrgMode five years from today.

      Why? You’re from lemmy.ml, where reality doesn’t matter, and goalposts are always moving.

                And this is you without a comeback, dumbfounded, just like every other time you’ve tried to formulate a response to my good faith replies. Why should I care about the difference if you respond the same way? Because I actually understand what is at stake other than a talk show host’s career.

                    So let me get this straight. Reinstating a talk show host who supports all US military adventures (e.g. Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Venezuela) and supports the same democrats who twiddle their thumbs every single time they have political leverage, and campaign on being harsher than Trump on immigration when they want to sacrifice the only remaining leverage they have to chase an imaginary demographic of suburban red-turned-blue voters, that is resistance to fascism to you? Aren’t you a little embarrassed to be so caught up in network television jingling keys in front of you? Wasn’t Kimmel’s crime disrespecting another pundit? Is the institution of Journalism saved to you now? Elaborate because I’m curious and you have gotten this far.

        What has the “firestorm” that Jimmy Kimmel ignited resulted in? What do you consider the main issue at stake? Is it fascism? Or is it what’s on your little screen? Seriously, what has this “firestorm” accomplished, and for who?

          One of two things are true:

          You don’t grasp the concept that pushback against fascism matters, and that every bit of pushback matters. Which means you’re a fucking idiot.

          Or

          This is goal directed behavior, designed to undermine. You know, the lemmy.ml shtick.

            What pushback against fascism did the firestorm that Jimmy Kimmel ignited generate?
