Jerry Seinfeld says KKK is ‘actually a little better’ than Free Palestine movement
Jerry Seinfeld says KKK is ‘actually a little better’ than Free Palestine movement
Says guy who never had to deal with the KKK.
This really calls attention to his overdeveloped sense of victimhood.
He needs another reason to whinge about being canceled.
Weirdly, it is actually true that both the KKK and Hamas have bought support in their communities by doing good public works for people. It’s not what they are best known for, but I don’t think shadow organizations survive for long without building some support somehow.
their "shadow support" that you can't figure out is hate. Usually hate from religion. KKK are ALL christians, and use their religion to justify their hate. Hamas are ALL muslims, and use their religion to justify their hate. Israelis are ALL jews, and use their religion to justify their hate.
Religions openly hate each other. They all have lived under the motto: There can only be one god(s), only one of us can be right. (even though some lie about that, too). They fight religious wars that last for thousands of years, and that's how they look at you. A pawn so small that you can't ever fit into a 1/10th of their next thousand year plan.
Not really that weird? Basically every organization does this or is immediately unsuccessful. The only exception is companies under a government that's stable enough to carry water for them.
This doesn't mean that the organizations are a net benefit.
“By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think,” said Seinfeld, who publicly embraces his Jewish heritage and has pushed back against critics of Israel.
“Just say you don’t like Jews,” he said in reference to the movement, before comparing its supporters to members of the KKK.
In that spirit, Jerry, maybe you should say what YOU really think. You’re a genocide apologist. Embrace it, instead of putting words in other peoples mouths.
Nah, just have him say what he thinks about Palestinians and muslims. The rest follows.
Probably he also doesn't like black people.
If true, that would be grotesquely funny
Calling critics of a state and a polity racists is some high level bullshit
Did you criticise the Nazis? Pretty sure that means you hate all modern day Germans /s
Let's see, so we have
Free Palestine, a group that wants to stop the genocide and promote the freedom of Palestinians being murdered through no result of their own actions beyond simply existing.
The KKK, a group who expressly want to genocide and oppress the freedom of anyone non-white for just simply existing.
Jerry, you're telling on yourself here a bit
Jerry Seinfeld has always been a pompous piece of shit. Fuck him and his unfunny horsefaced “comedy”.
Oh, and he fucked a teenager at the height of his show. Release the files.
This is the truth. Once he got money, he turned into the asshole he was always wanted to be and oh, what an asshole he's blossomed into.
Now he's added piece of shit who likes genocide AND is entirely brain damaged about what the KKK does and has done.
Pretty solid work to show that you're a piece of shit, like murder and have zero clue about the KKK all in one go.
If this country is going up in flames, can we put the boomers on the front line? They love to talk a big game, let them live up to their own hype.
Boomers pulled the ladder from us, and ran their mouths about it. Absolutely send them in first.
Good thing I don’t take advice from pedos who "date" 17-year-olds when they’re 39 😃
pedos who “date” 17-year-olds
Stop watering down the term. Yucky? Sure. Pedophile? No.
Pedophilia (alternatively spelled paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a sexual attraction to prepubescent children. Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11, and boys at age 11 or 12, psychiatric diagnostic criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.
Emphasis mine. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia.
A little further down:
In popular usage, the word pedophilia is often applied to any sexual interest in children or the act of child sexual abuse, including any sexual interest in minors below the local age of consent or age of adulthood, regardless of their level of physical or mental development.
He's a type A fucking creep and a pederast if you want to get technical about it.
Dude, nothing's creepier than people who are eager to argue about the exact definition of pedophile.
Wow a morally & ethically-sound person on lemmy that respects the rule of law.
You are a rarity, sir/madam
Whats the deal with girlfriends? You pick them up from school, and all they talk about is homework, and who's going to the school dance! Don't girlfriends know people who oppose genocide are worse then the KKK?
actually if its not from the pedophile region, otherwise it's just sparkling child abuse
you and that other weirdo in this thread really need to check yourselves
let’s not pretend you’re not gonna bang a hot young girl
You probably can't imagine someone that doesn't have the same desires you have, but I wouldn't have sex with a 25 year old kid let alone a 17 y.o. one. Both look like kids to me and present no attraction whatsoever.
Your reply to someone mentioning someone 'dating' a 17-year old is "let's not pretend you're not gonna bang a hot young girl". WOW. Even if you're gonna be pedantic and say you meant young women yourself, not underage. It's fucking disturbing, to say the least, especially in this context, and you don't know the other person. So it just sounds like dumb projection.
looks like I hit the nail on his character
if thats really what you think this looks like then your discernment is... unreliable
Wow, lots to unpack here.
I sure wasn't expecting to see a brigade of strange individuals arguing about the definition of pedophilia. Are you usually this enthusiastic about semantics?
17 is old enough to decide you want to fuck somebody, for sure. hell, the age of consent across most of europe is 16 iirc...
there's a world of difference between drugging a/o raping woman/children, eastein and our pedo in chief, and choosing to fuck some guy for his $
(jerry still a piece of self-centered, self-serving piece of shit to be clear...i'm just still in the camp that words have meaning)
"Just say you hate Jews. Just tie me up and say Jews should die. Spank me and call me an evil little Jew. You know you want to."
"Mr Seinfeld, children are starving."
Sorry Jerry but I don't hate Jews but I hate the government of Israel
He's always come off as a smug arrogant douche and he doesn't change this first impression the more he opens his mouth,
Why do they keep trying to fuzz the terminology?
Zionists and Jews are not the same thing. They have very little in common.
Because they're dishonest; unfortunately, it's very effective in shutting down public conversations about what's happening over there.
What's the deal with Israel, pedos and billionaires?
what a rubbish human. Fuck you, jerry (I'm not capitalising his name. he doesn't deserve it)
"Finally, a Jerry worse than me!"
What's the deal with black people? They're not black, and they're not people.
-Jerry Seinfeld (probably)
"What's the deaaal with unfunny, stupid comedians?"
To be fair that is an absurdly funny statement, it's just a shame that he wasn't joking...
That's something someone says in "curb your enthusiasm", but he also bakes the best pumpkin pie in town, so people have to pretend to not hear it.
Jerry has been a salty prick ever since people figured out the writers did all the heavy lifting on his show.
probably none to happy that him being a fuckin pedophile became widespread news either.
No, surprisingly I don't think that bothered him. Otherwise he would not have made this joke.
“The KKK is a little better than Free Palestine. The crisp white robes? The anonymity? They’re basically racist laundry!”
funky slap bass
Does he have any respect left?
Honestly...like...who still thinks Jerry Seinfeld is a good person? Jerry Springer is a better person.
Who'd think that George would be the most respectable of the group 30 years later.
Not really related but I'm having the weirdest time because I got on FB for the first time in a decade, and learned an old friend has transitioned and looks to be much happier now, so I'm excited, but their feed is FULL of zionist propaganda and it appears her entire identity is wrapped up in this now, so accepting her request would be a time bomb. Fuck, why everything gotta be this way now.
So are you transphobe OR antisemitic? Sorry but you have to pick one
People contain a multitude of thoughts and opinions. But, it always surprised me how one group that is persecuted can't empathize with others experiencing persecutions too.
Let me make it simple; You genocide, you lose. So cut off communication if you wish, but first attempt to reason
Oh look everyone. It's the "airline food" guy who peaked in the 90s. He has a political opinion.
Of course Jerry of course. Israel is still a terrorist state. Bye.
a NAZI terrorist state.
So. after WW2 Jewish people can obliterate an entire population just because they were attacked. boohoohoo What if the USA did the same thing in Vietnam, Korea, Afganistan, Iraq, etc? How is starving civilians to death is this fucking right Israel? You are making yourselves the new German Party of 1933. Netanyahu is the new Hitler. He ignores the international community, just like Hitler, kills innocents and does not admit it, just like Hitler. He kills starving children ffs. How low do you want to go Israel before you become what you've feared for 80 years? It's an international disgrace. Even trump is telling you to stop now, I mean WTF dudes?
Jerry had more worthwhile things to say back when he had a show about nothing.
In retrospect, Seinfeld was a very dark show. Somewhere on YouTube there is an insightful little video essay about how the first few seasons of the show are basically the story of how Elaine, a perfectly decent person, gets drawn into their little circle and over time adopts their awful selfishness and sociopathic behavior to try to fit in. How most of the problems of the show are caused by their selfishness and dishonesty, and often involve significant harm coming to someone else, and they don't care.
I can't even remember which comedian it is, but someone had a bit about how the darkest joke he ever heard was a Seinfeld bit about being at the movie theater and just throwing his drink on the ground at the end for someone else to clean up. Like it's a small thing, but the guy talking about it was genuinely alarmed by the depth of how far he genuinely just doesn't give a fuck and doesn't mind if you know it.
Here you go on that essay I think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ77Qn53xhw
He's a comedian. Is this a joke? How can someone honestly think this?
Delusional billionaire with a persecution complex.
I actually think you hit the nail on the head with persecution complex. He likely grew up experiencing antisemitism, I know I did and I'm younger than him. But he became incredibly privileged. Since being persecuted is core to his younger identity, he doubles down on the idea that he is persecuted. I see this frequently with people that are newly rich, they can't accept their new privilege as a shift in their identity, so they double down on an old identity.
It's the same issue with Dave Chappelle, who used to be more conscious of -isms, but is dishonest about any other bigotry but anti-black bigotry since he became ultra wealthy. He needs to focus on anti-blackness over all else because if he doesn't he just becomes another privileged dude in a broken system (in his mind). It's about protecting your self image of a victim after becoming one of the privileged.
Also Seinfeld is a groomer creep.
What a trash human being. I hope somebody leaves a burning cross in his yard.
Fuck Seinfeld
You might be too old for him.
Jerry Seinfeld is a washed up comedian, who cares what his opinions on international geopolitics is???
Who, oh ya that soso comedian that got lucky with a tv show about nothing.
Useless twat.
nazionist
Who?
Man now I can’t watch Seinfeld anymore? Why people got to do this?
Because some people are jerks who don't want better people to enjoy life. Especially out of touch billionaires like Seinfeld.
Yeah you can, just remember Larry David and the other writers who actually made it good.
Edit: and the cast! So many iconic performances.
Remember when his show had an episode where a minor pursued Ellen? What did the show mean by that?
It's Suze!
Bet you won't say that at a clan rally, they looove jews
He's got enough money to retire in luxury forever. Why is he still trying to be relevant? Fucking egomaniacs will be the end of us all.
Maybe he's thinking about getting into politics. Feels like it's time.
If we're looking for comedians to run for office, can we get Doug Stanhope instead, please?
This guy needs rotten tomatoes thrown at him everywhere
Queue clip of Jimmy gervais, telling all of those Hollywood idiots to take their little Grammy and stfu because they know nothing about the real world.
Add this to his bitching about no one finding him funny anymore when his humor hasn't changed since '86. He's just trying to stave off irrelevance. The last great thing he did was a movie about bestiality (BEEstiality).
"Whyyyyy does the word 'lisp' have an 's' in it? HALF A BILLION DOLLARS PLEASE!"
Fuck him! He’s a horrid human, pedophile, and pos to his “fans”.. like all 10 of them. He’s more irrelevant than any “news” the right owned media pushes out! Keep firing people for freedom of speak and find out real quick… new gen’s aren’t that dumb as MAGATS we have critical thinking skills and know what’s truly going on; distract all you want, but we know the GOP’s are all pedophiles!!
**RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES!! **
Beam him up Scotty!
But be creative with the coordinates
This is what happens when his little sitcom has been out of syndication for nearly three decades. Starts going crazy.
If anything good has come of this Israel-Palestine conflict thing, it has been exposing idiots.
Specifically pretend-progressive idiots, for whom progess is great when it's for their approved groups.
Seinfeld is a known conservative. Has never been known as a progressive.
Idk, I never would have learned about all the "nuances" within the far right about this issue if not for what happened to Charlie Kirk. It's not just a pretend-progressive idiot thing. Idiots across the political spectrum have done some very interesting mental gymnastics over this conflict.
Charlie Kirk made some clearly antisemitic statements during his career, but he also fully supported Israel in this conflict. That is fucking dumb, but also sounds pretty on point considering Trump supports Israel in this conflict, yet refused to admonish his neo nazi supporters who were caught on camera during rallies doing sieg heils before his first term. Or his supports that marched with torches chanting "Jews will not replace us." Not to mention some dude on Ketamine who hopped on stage during his second inauguration to do a few more sieg heils just to really rub it in.
Apparently the shooter was a fan of Nick Fuentes. Fuentes hated Charlie Kirk bc he believed he was "too moderate" in his far right views. Ok...
Nick Fuentes is apparently a Holocaust denier and has called for the death of jews in a holy war. He is very upfront and honest about his antisemitism. I guess this makes Fuentes the kind of guy Jerry Seinfeld apparently prefers as opposed to anyone who might otherwise just simply disagree with him about Palestine.
Nick Fuentes also called Charlie Kirk a hypocrite for claiming to be a Christian while supporting genocide and murder of hundreds of people on a daily basis.
I can't argue with him on that particular statement. However, it also seems just a bit hypocritical to be an antisemite calling for the death of jews, while claiming to worship a jew who sacrificed himself for the sins of the world, and only asked in return that you love your God as the creator of all things and love your neighbor as yourself.
But the infestation is bad, so widespread. It's like moving your fridge and there are thousands of roaches under it.
