Fuller story:

South Park got it right. Hollywood and media elites push the narrative that women are funny even when they're not. The narrative is so internalized that unfunny women are called funny; thus crowding out actual funny women. Steven Crowder lampoon's this with his parody video of laughing hysterically at Amy Schumer mentioning her vagina every ten seconds. Some women are very funny, but women in Hollywood that are promoted as funny are typically not those women.

Lisa Lamponelli always made me laugh. I remember watching Sarah Silverman's show when I was a youngster, wondering why such an unfunny show was something called Comedy Central. That was back before I had any opinion about anything political. Somehow Silverman's entirely unfunny ass got famous and comedy magicians like Dave Chappelle went crazy in the jungle.

So you're saying that because unfunny women were pushed (why was this?) actually funny women were in some way stopped? Also I'd like to point out that the 80s/90s were a great time for funny women on tv.

Sarah Silverman is actually much hotter than any of those earlier people I can think of and as a result this can only have been a mechanism by worried men in power. Pushing hot girls who weren't particularly funny and blaming them getting famous on being hot.

FWIW though yes I consider myself right-wing. I consider libertarianism and the Enlightenment and all that good stuff with its roots in the Hellenistic Greeks right-wing. Left-wing is that shit that grew outside of Hellenistic Europe: Marxism and its progeny of fascism and communism and your garden variety socialism and welfarism. Your basic collectivism and statism.

I bought into the political compass stuff around the time I was introduced into it which was probably 2009 at the latest. I think that does a good basic job of defining things on a political level when talking about them. My views these days are probably considered quite right wing on that scale whilst very libertarian (when I was younger I used to get left and libertarian).
