Starmer Resigns + How Comedy Serves The Empire

from The Lee Camp Show · host Lee Camp

In this episode of Dangerous Ideas, Lee Camp dissects the resignation of UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, framing it as further proof that the Labour Party and the Tories are "two parties with no difference" on the most critical issues, from continuing the proxy war in Ukraine to implementing austerity for the poor. The episode then pivots to a sharp critique of mainstream American comedy, using an analysis from Chris Hedges to argue that the "elitist satire" of late-night shows and corporate comedians serves as a "pressure release valve" that ultimately props up the empire. All that and more!My livestreams are on Mon and Fri at 3pm ET/Noon PT and Wednesday at 8pm ET/5pm PT. I am one of the most censored comedians in America. Thanks for the support!
