There was a massive pivot in society, at least in the US, in general when Obama was elected. Your example, the comedy of Leibowitz and Colbert, is a great example of priming and programming of a populace via comedy. A small piece of string or a little bit of a twig can become a weapon if there's an intention for.
I learned real quick on who I felt I could and could not trust based on the winds of (((comedy))). Never underestimate its significance.
There's still some good comedians on our side. I graduated a year before Obama got in. Was an oddball conservative among many in the local music scene. Mind you I hated bush and neocons, something we agreed with I often had this odd premonition feeling, of things are gonna get fucked up having always being into 'conspiracy theories', but didn't expect it coming to this, or now holding some of my views
>our side
Sides are..like..for squares man.
This line of thinking is what has been the quickening of the societal slide. "You are either with us or against us."
I've never considered myself a conservative or a liberal but knew that I could do so, without fear, because of our bill of rights and our constitution. That is until it was made evident that, via airplanes and skyscrapers, you'll bend a knee and give a whimper of thanks while doing so... Rush in the comedians.
I'm probably younger but agree
