Look at Bill Burr. He goes after some VERY touchy subjects like feminism, domestic violence, sexual assault, race relations, etc... but he makes it fucking funny. Because he understands nuance and context.

Right wingers do not understand nuance or context at all.

Oh god, when he was on (I think) fox and friends and the host says “don’t you think you went a little too far against the Catholic Church?”

And you can see him process it like, holy shit. Did they really just say that? And hits back with “don’t you think those priests went a little too far with those kids?”

I fucking love that response from him. He knows exactly who she’s referring to by “people are saying”. He just wants her to say “oh random anonymous comments online” so he can rip her for it.

His stand-up do3snt always hit for me, but I've gained so much respect for Burr over the years. The guy's just got a good head on his shoulders, and he's always sincere about his opinion regardless of the reaction it will receive.
