Let me just throw this here because I wanted to mention this. I CANNOT STAND SACHA BARON COHEN.

His entire "This is America" series was deliberately and nefariously provoking the American public at one of the most tense points in contemporary American politics all with the intention of proliferating partisanship. His entire career represents a height of bad taste and disrespect. Recently, he has continued his pattern of baiting people into saying things that will get them in trouble by showing up at a "right-wing rally" as a caricature. Most Americans may laugh at his antics but I just can't because I can't help wonder about what would happen if an "American comedian" went into a settlement in the West Bank as a caricature to bait settlers into revealing what they really think for the world to see.

If people are stupid enough to fall for shit like that, they need to be hung out to dry mate. Stop defending stupid people.

"Bad taste, disrespect", that's just right wing code for censorship. Pathetic to find in a conspiracy forum.

I don't think he should be banned. I just don't like his work and I don't feel obliged to like his terrible comedy just because the targets of his mockery and humiliation might have deserved it in your eyes. Mocking and humiliating people you consider to be intellectually or physically inferior in that way is the definition of "poor taste" and "disrespect" as far as I'm concerned.

Yeah, having you read into what I said for "right wing code for censorship" is totally pathetic to find in a conspiracy forum. All I was doing was sharing an opinion. I think my presence here should make it clear that I don't like censorship and you thinking otherwise over my dislike for a so called comedian is what is truly pathetic here.
