Has Colbert gone too far? What is the purpose of his show, exactly?
Take your mind back to 2008-2016, what would happen if a mainstream media "entertainment" host did a skit about Obama's severed head being on a pike? Can you imagine the DEFCON 1 level backlash?

Alexander Roberts
"Power is not only what you have, but what the enemy thinks you have." Power is derived from 2 main sources – money and people. "Have-Nots" must build power from flesh and blood. "Never go outside the expertise of your people." It results in confusion, fear and retreat. Feeling secure adds to the backbone of anyone. "Whenever possible, go outside the expertise of the enemy." Look for ways to increase insecurity, anxiety and uncertainty. "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules." If the rule is that every letter gets a reply, send 30,000 letters. You can kill them with this because no one can possibly obey all of their own rules. "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon." There is no defense. It's irrational. It's infuriating. It also works as a key pressure point to force the enemy into concessions. "A good tactic is one your people enjoy." They'll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They're doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.
Jaxon Johnson
"A tactic that drags on too long becomes a drag." Don't become old news. "Keep the pressure on. Never let up." Keep trying new things to keep the opposition off balance. As the opposition masters one approach, hit them from the flank with something new. "The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself." Imagination and ego can dream up many more consequences than any activist. "The major premise for tactics is the development of operations that will maintain a constant pressure upon the opposition." It is this unceasing pressure that results in the reactions from the opposition that are essential for the success of the campaign. "If you push a negative hard enough, it will push through and become a positive." Violence from the other side can win the public to your side because the public sympathizes with the underdog. "The price of a successful attack is a constructive alternative." Never let the enemy score points because you're caught without a solution to the problem. "Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it." Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

Oh fuck right off. There's a lot you can and should say against Obama and his cabinet but Trump is a terrorist and the Republican Party are nothing but traitors to their own people and if there's any justice in the world whatever government is gonna follow the current one will treat them accordingly.

I must have missed when FOX News put Obama's head on a pike.
Jackson Torres
I find it terribly ironic that posters unironically believe that 'cultural marxism' is the work of shadowy communist intellectuals subtly undermining the fabric of the west when in reality what they're looking at is the natural process of capitalism and the consumer culture it fosters.
It's not communists who undermine the family by selling the romance of an idealized relationship through advertising and media, or encouraging promiscuity through 'self fulfillment' turning individuals into narcissists who only want to live in the moment and experience all life has to offer even if it jeopardizes their opportunity of a meaningful lasting commitment. It's not communists who made it difficult to raise a family on a single income, who encouraged easily available contraceptives and abortions to purse sex for its own sake instead of for procreation. The list goes on and on. Behind every cause of the symptoms of 'cultural marxism' you'll find an apparatus of mass promotion preaching the gospel of consumption.

Stephen Colbert is mentally ill. It's pretty noticeable at this point.
Charles Hill
look at state run propaganda like RT and North Korea, and tell me their pushing cultural marxism.

I'm familiar with post modernism, thanks, but I was never exposed to any pomo concepts in K-12 school, and they've been barely touched upon in college, thus far. Why don't you make your own arguments? The education system is, as stated, controlled by the government which is, again, controlled by the GOP. Moreover, there's never been a point in almost 40 years where conservatives haven't had a controlling share of at least one branch of government, and for almost half that time, they controlled all three. So again, where is your "cultural marxism" coming from?
