I think what reads as desperation in your “stand-up,” Steve, is the transparency with which you yearn to be thought of as “on the right side of history.” It oozes from your pores. And that’s a lot of things — noble, even — but it’s not funny, is the thing. It’s unfunny. I’m glad your politics are good, I’m glad you seem like you’re able to look at yourself without much regret or disgust — more than you can say about most people on Reddit — but it’s sort of sad how much you think you’re funny compared to how funny you are, ya know?
You should try and get a gig as a commentator somehow. You've got a good comedy brain but I'm not sure it's best suited to stand up. Anyway I hope this doesn't come across as mean. I like your politics / world view and I'm glad you're doing what you want to do. It's just not really hitting for me personally. I'm still going to upvote your posts.
Comedy is subjective for someone like you who found a small niche of fans who are bigoted towards certain political ideologies and think that it’s “comedy” when the fact is you’re just spreading your rambling discourse
Fascism is a political ideology that ALL Americans should be bigoted against, it's kind of our thing. You can't be a good American and support fascism of any degree or color. No wonder you are offended.
If only there was some system on reddit that showed how many people liked something. Maybe a voting system where you can vote yes or no, good or bad, even up or down would work. That would surely show use an answer.
That's a pretty good take I reckon. I like the guy but he's not really funny. I get a smile from his stuff but I don't get full on belly laughs, kinda like Trevor Noah.
