Ooh... Fun...

For starters, the premise of the entire thread is false. He's not redefining Totalitarianism. He's pointing out the indicators of Authoritarianism.

Now, let's dive in!

john Oliver is a clown , if you take him seriously your pathetic. that man needs his fake laughs and clap tracks like a normal man needs air.

Despite the common belief (by idiots), the laughs and claps are real. There's no laugh tracks, nor are there signs telling the audience when to laugh or clap. This has been attested by people who have been in the studio audience.

• dismantling institutions
  
• totalitarian
  

This stupid logic will never fail to make me rage

How is this a difficult concept to grasp? When tyrants seize power, the first thing they do is dismantle anything that can act as checks and balances on that power.

Why in the fuck Trump is not revoking the residency of non-citizens who participate in political subversion is beyond me.

Speaking of authoritarianism, let's take away visas from anyone who doesn't suck the God Emperor's Toad.

I’ll never understand how Americans can laugh along with a dagger toothed rat who clowns their country for an hour straight and not feel like a total jackass.

Would it be petty to point out that the show is only half an hour? Yes. But for Lucifer's sake, Channers, at least try to get the most basic facts right.

there is literally nothing wrong with authoritarianism.

Well, at least you're not trying to hide it.

• 12.000 drug suspects killed
• Oliver just calls them "people"

There's a reason they're getting killed. At least be honest about that and then criticise

Is there a reason? The key word there is "suspects", because these are extra-judicial killings. They are not charged with a crime. They're murdered. Sure, you could argue some of the killings were self-defense, but 12,000 of them? Who knows how many people were actually guilty.

comments disabled?

They're not!

I feel like half my "radicalization" was by interacting with braindead communists on campus. If you're a real man 4 years of college should make you a Nazi by the end of it..

I have nothing to add to this.

decent people contribute to society, preferably with a good STEM job and raise families, preferably white ones - JOBS not MOBS

Again, there is literally nothing I could add to this comment to make it worse than it already is.

name one foolish thing Trump has done

This is too easy.

Media over here loves spewing "muh 7000 lies" and when you ask an individual to mention one lie, they can't. At best, one can grasp for the wall, saying it hasn't been built, or something something

Wasn't it just this week that he claimed he didn't know Whitaker, who he made acting AG, despite literally saying that he knew Whitaker in a past interview? Now, I don't know if he was lying then, or lying now, but he is inarguably lying. Not to mention the illegal voters he's made up. And that's just a couple of the most recent ones. Let's not forget that his first act as President was sending out the Spice Man to lie about his penis crowd size.
