Yes. I'm part of that "special club" of people who realize that topical comedians tell jokes based on their opinions.
But hey, you don't want to be included in that 'we,' don't let me stop you from being ignorant about that very basic quality of comedians who do topical comedy.
I'm not even disagreeing with you lol, I just hate when people think they can speak for everyone here. Do you think you are some authority figure on lemmy?
I don't think I can speak for everyone here, but I would suggest that on this particular subject, you would find very few people who disagree that topical comedians base their comedy on their opinions, so I think I can safely speak for most people here when I say WE are not idiots who have never heard a stand-up comedy routine in our lives. If that makes me an authority figure, I guess I am one. I don't really carry 'authority on where topical comedians likely get their ideas from' as a badge of honor. I'd prefer to think of myself as just someone who thinks highly enough of the people who comment on Lemmy that he doesn't believe them to be drooling imbeciles.
But perhaps you believe that daring to think that people here don't tend to be drooling imbeciles is just going way too far.
Well you do already have 17k lemmy comments so perhaps you are the ultimate authority figure here haha
