Crackers in the comments as always with the "we can't have healthcare because black people exist" shit. Transit and healthcare are always an issue of "homogeneity of a country" bro what the fuck are you on do you even hear yourself?
- They never ask why the infrastructure isn't homogeneous. Red lining, sundown towns, priorities over who gets clean water. Fucking segregation laws making it impossible for black people to get seating on buses.
  Diversity wasn't the problem. It was the systemic reaction to it.
  God I'm tired.
  
  The whole white flight to suburbia thing gutted city budgets around the whole country. If it costs five times as much money to deliver basic city services to the same number of people, that leaves a lot less room in the budget for other things.
- The historically and presently ethnically homogenous nation of Russia.
  Especially a wild claim when talking about a metro system ordered by a Georgian and designed by a Ukrainian Jew.
- They're right, but not in the way they think. White people would rather cancel public entitlement programs than give black people one red cent.
- Public transport seems to work pretty well for Singapore and it’s just as racially diverse as the US
  
  The argument that crackers will respond with is even worse, which is that africans and arabs / middle easterners provide the kind of diversity that destroys a society, and Asians are the good kind of diversity, since they aren't thieves/criminals/drugdealers/w/e
- The China paradox: Ethnically diverse when you need to manufacture a genocide, ethnically homogenous when they do good things.
  
  Liberals view China as having the Han majority (bad, supremacists) and the Uyghurs (good, scrappy minority put down by the system) and perform no introspection on why their brains envision such a system

Kind of ironic to criticize Tucker for lying to make propaganda in the middle of this anti Russia propaganda. Jon could name plenty of countries he personally approves of that have free healthcare, high quality public transportation, and affordable food, so he is lying when he says that's the price of freedom. That's actually right wing bullshit.
- Jon is right wing. All libs are.

Freedom to what, John?
- Buy Burger
  Get Colon Cancer at 28
  Die
  
  My body won't cremate because of all the microplastics. I melt in the incinerator. My crying relatives are handed a blackened, charred hunk of what looks like plastic.
  
  Americans born after 1970 don’t know how to buy house
- Freedom from healthcare, cheap food and functioning public transport seems like.
  
  Ah yes I should have read the title
- The face of "freedom" in
  :

You know something's good when an American tries to argue against it with the line "What are we, a bunch of Asians!?"
Please, someone liberate me from this liberty.

Kiev and Kharkov have better public transport than almost all American cities (maybe except for Chicago and NYC)
- Am I wrong, or is NYC transit expensive AF? Sorry I haven't been in over a decade.
  
  Can’t comment on the price but as someone who loved the subways in South Korea, NYC subways struck me as filthy, really loud, and ridiculously late. In South Korea they show up on the dot every few minutes from like 6AM to 10PM seven days a week. (They’d be running 24/7 if not for cab drivers.) In NYC I couldn’t believe that they can sometimes be half an hour late! You’re just supposed to stand around at the fucking station for half an hour? And they were so loud I had to plug my ears.
  
  When I went recently it wasn't so bad, it's also super easy to just jump in.

You should have placed the recommended timestamp about 20 seconds earlier, because I think that's the real highlight, when he sanctimoniously says "ask ALEXEI NAVALNY or any of his followers . . . "
Thanks, Jon, we're glad to have you back so you can sanctimoniously cape for a literal fascist. That's what late night "comedy" really needed, another finger-wagging liberal doing drive-by name-drops of stories he chooses not to understand in order to grandstand to scoundrels who are just a hair's breadth worse than he is personally.
- Liberal media ghouls keep talking about Navalny like he was on the cusp of revolution, like he was leader of some mass movement in Russia just about to take power. My understanding is the average Russian had never heard of him, his only role in the state was something like a ceremonial appointment, an he wasn't in a party that held electoral power anywhere. It would be like saying Trump's main opposition was Gary Johnson.
  If liberals actually wanted to talk about Putin's largest opposition in Russia, it would have to be the Communist Party. I know they're not great, but I've never heard western liberals mention them. Liberals probably think Putin is the head of the Communist party
  
  Its exsctly like mcafee. But with far worse poliies than mcafee
  
  There is zero - absolutely zero chance that Western libs will ever support any socialist or communist movement in the developing world. Except for the ones that are sus.
  
  Dugin is another good example of Westerners not understanding Russia. Before the assassination of his daughter basically nobody in Russia had ever heard of this guy and he had no state power whatsoever. If you believed the left-liberal chauvinist vibe about Russia and Putler you would think he's Rasputin himself, whispering into Putin's ear everyday despite the two having no relations in reality.

Freedom for who? Freedom to do what?
- The freedom, in its majestic fredomness, allows rich and poor alike to "have access to" healthcare, buy expensive food, et cetera

This better not become a thing where I can't escape his
ass again.
- If I can't escape this torrent of sorrow I'm drowning in. Don't worry. I'll take care of it. You'll hear about him a lot for a moment. And then not at all afterward.

Oh because that police crackdown doesn't happen in the US? Our politicians would never attack opponents protesting and inconveniencing? Been under a rock Jon? Actual journalism?
cough Assange cough
Oh it's not a 3rd Red Scare as I ooga booga about Russia and big bad Putin. It's
culture wars and totally not wall street's resource wars. Yeah that's it Jon.
- You fool, you have made the classic farce of mentioning the US! I cast WHATABOUTISM! behold, your argument has crumbled to dust before your very eyes!

then the democrats shall offer me a fair market value for my vote, or else they get nothing.

we may have to start making excuses for the lack of terror

Jon really owned Tucker by stating a position he already agrees with
Fuckin irony-proof libs

Fuck me man I can't sit through this shit I just can't do it.
I'd genuinely rather watch
to be honest. Every single joke is forced, half of them are like "oh look, he likes bread!" haha so?
Fucking end me. How the fuck did you get to 11:35 of this shit? What is your secret?

That was such a disappointing piece. Last week he was on fire, it was good to have good ole Johnny boy back again making fun of politicians, and then he follows it up with some weak ass
shit.
- i thought it was rich that he'd spend all that time shitting on tucker for being a bad interviewer (which he is, but) like stewart isn't himself also weakass interviewer as any viewers saw last week.
  colbert's character was better with guests than stewart ever was
  
  Even back in the day my lib ass was criticizing John for being way too nice to Republicans, John McCain especially. I get that a constraint of the job is that you can't be too mean to people or they won't come on your show but if those are the rules then maybe don't invite on anyone who's willingly signed up to murder children from 10,000 feet.
- He was always a lib, you just kept going left
  
  It's perhaps a privilege to look back with cringe-colored glasses on the time when I liked this guy, for the exact reason you say.
- He was just applying a bit of lube before going whole hog on our collective asses.

- I can't believe anyone ever took him seriously. He hosted a comedy show

- It is like Jon is trying to catch up with the 8 years of Russiagate nonsense he missed

Could use the Netherland as a counter argument, unless it a totalitarian regime.
The trains running on time really fried the American brains

The George W. Bushification of Jon Stewart

oh no lib left icon some terminally online leftists like turns out to be a capitalism loving imperialist THIS HAPPENS LITERALLY EVERY FUCKING TIME
- the true blackpill as an American anti-imperialist is realizing that only like 1-5% of the entire population will ever be anti-imperialist until the whole thing starts breaking apart
- NO HASAN WOULD NEVER DO THIS
