I find John Oliver to be a funny guy, from way back in the day when he was a pimple faced goon on The Daily Show

Last Week Tonight leans heavily to the left, but its HBO and like Bill Maher's show, they rip apart both sides of the political spectrum

I watch it, and he's usually right

definitely exaggerates alot of things, but thats just TV sensationalism

I guess I like alot of the humor? often very british "humour" ofc.

John Oliver and his staff have been able to dig deep into our society/government and they always highlight something going on that is truly fucked up, and ~98% of the time, they are spot on correct. They really push the bar, hard, with how far they can go to piss off nefarious businessmen and other bad actors, big time shaming events.

John Oliver is like if Bill Maher was perpectually pissed off and still funny about it, the guy is gonna have a heart attack sooner than later, or maybe he's like if Shawn Hannity were a skinny liberal british guy.

they make it easy to watch too, pretty much the entire 8 year series is on youtube

look around all you see is fake smiles, forced pleasantries, every "issue group" has fractured into their own militant form of activism.

like nobody is happy, happiness isn't some grand mystery, its simply just feeling okay with the world around you, and the advent of social media has forced every concept imaginable onto everyone, statistically speaking, you wont like something out there, and you're gonna hear about it again and again and again. So you don't use social media? Everyone you know does, and they'll tell you about it, or you'll hear about it on the news, TV, movies, etc etc. You cannot avoid it.

Anyone who says they are "happy" has just succeeded in lying to themselves. Literally no one is happy out there. I meet alot of people in my job, and social life, and you can see it in their faces sometimes, but I posess the third eye. I can see into souls. Its like an empathy superpower. I feel what you feel when i look in your eyes. Everyone is pissed off, scared, and desperately trying to keep up the "I'm Happy" wall

yeah i know how it sounds, There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than dreamt of in your philosophy. Yeah thats right. Shakespeare. The onion of Trexller has many layers.

This "Modern world" that we have built is a house of cards and its going to crumble, as spectacularly as it is devastating.
