Wait, you wonder why we're still listening to Jerry Seinfeld about comedy?
Like, I don't agree with the guy and I don't think everything he does is funny, but... I mean, I'm a contrarian nerd on the Internet and even I would think about that one twice.
For what it's worth, you can change your mind on things as often as you want. Hell, I'll take older rich guys walking back their slow drift rightwards as many times as is necessary.
I don't trust it, they turn left and make a walking motion only to start moon walking. Lip service doesn't mean shit until I see actual actions.
OK, this thread is increasingly more interesting to me as a snapshot of people's perception and less about anything Seinfeld does.
So... we all understand that other people's opinions aren't held as an attempt to get our personal validation, right?
Like, we're not the adjudicators? Turns out right wing people don't need our permission. Shockingly, they don't even want it. The absolute hubris, I know.
Like, believe it or not, Seinfeld's status is not dependent on convincing any of us here that he has changed his mind on this one thing he said once. The right level of scrutiny of this statement is "cool, I guess", not "well, Jerry, I'm going to need you to take some steps to rebuild this relationship".
It's good when older men drifting right stop drifting right in that they become less annoying at family dinners and, if they're famous, they stop disseminating right wing propaganda. That's it. That's why. It's not a test and we're not grading it.
