    You realize that Atkinson is a tory, right? So basically a fascist according to your notion.

    Karl Lagerfeld on Immigration:

    "“One cannot – even if there are decades between them – kill millions of Jews so you can bring millions of their worst enemies in their place,” the 80-year-old Chanel designer told a French television show."

    "“I know someone in Germany who took a young Syrian and after four days said: ‘The greatest thing Germany invented was the Holocaust’,” he added."

    "“Merkel had already millions and millions (of immigrants) who are well integrated and who work and all is well … she had no need to take another million to improve her image as the wicked stepmother after the Greek crisis,” Lagerfeld said.

    “Suddenly we see the pastor’s daughter,” he said in reference to Merkel’s father, who was a Protestant minister in the former East Germany."

    Rowan Atkinson is a great comedian and a
    great artist. I don't care which way he leans
    politically.

    Your notions of my notions are simply absurd.

    Yes he is, and you don't seem to understand his jokes.

    Yes he is, and you don't seem to understand his jokes.

    What I meant to say was that you very likely think these jokes are an accurate portrait of reality... which they are not. And I do not believe that Atkinson seriously believes what he is implying about the Tories since he is one himself (at least not in
    anyway to the degree as portrayed in the video; and I think it's actually quite unfunny (after watchign the full vid just now) since it is not critical of real issues, just of imaginary ones "tories = racist")... he is a comedian... sometimes good,
    sometimes bad - but generally I like him very much.

    Atkinson about Islam:

    "“What is wrong with inciting intense dislike of a religion if the activities or teaching of that religion are so outrageous, irrational or
    abusive of human rights that they deserve to be intensely disliked.”"


    Your notions of my notions are simply absurd.
    You may believe whatever you want to believe my dear brainwashed friend.

    Atkinson about the cancel-culture (*Dan "I don't use spotify because of Joe Rogan" Koren):

    "In January 2021, Atkinson criticised the rise of cancel culture. He said, "It's important that we're exposed to a wide spectrum of opinion, but what we have now is the digital equivalent of the medieval mob, roaming the streets looking for someone to
    burn. The problem we have online is that an algorithm decides what we want to see, which ends up creating a simplistic, binary view of society. It becomes a case of either you're with us or against us. And if you're against us, you deserve to be '
    cancelled'.""

    How would you know what one thinks?

    Jokes are not supposed to be "portraits of reality,
    except perhaps for Prussian Krautkopfen.

    What an idiot you are!

    You know, I relate stuff... I know what you think about "conservatives", so it's very obvious why you'd think this joke is funny. No magic here my dear brainwashed friend.

    It seems you misunderstand my point as usual: You think that it is an accurate portrait of reality that the "conservatives" are racists. Which is what the joke is about. Otherwise you wouldn't find it funny.


    What an idiot you are!

    Ofc JT... if you say so, it must be true.

    *One should maybe add - in defense of R. Atkinson - that times were different in 1982, and maybe it made sense to joke about this at that time (can't really judge, because I don't know enough about the political climate in england at that time).

    But today... this joke is a bit out of touch with reality. You really need to get out of your cave...

    Jokes don't have to be "in touch" with anything.

    You clearly have a poor reading comprehension; just another indiciation that you are too stupid for math.

    I was not talking about jokes in general, you retard. I was talking about _this_ joke; and this joke was obviously intended to be a criticism of reality.

    You really seem to be completely unaware of how this joke functions. I mean... no wonder, since you are completely out of touch with reality.
