    Where did the stereotype that Jewish people control TV come from? An anti-Semitic heckler is not only sure that Jews control the media, he thinks pointing it out in the middle of a comedy show was somehow a compliment. Tune in while Steve gives a history lesson to this "patriot” about how he's actually siding with the Nazis.
    When Steve snapped at an anti-Semitic heckle, he was not at his best. But what followed was pure madness. He ended up with death threats and the FBI got involved. Here’s the story.

      It seems to me that they do it more when they don't respect the person on stage. Like when they're trying to be funny in topics that may offend people, but it just ends up cringe, which is Steve's speciality.

      And they also are too scared to get on stage. They are angry, more accurately resentful at people for being brave enough to get on stage. I've been to plenty of open mic nights, less so for comedy and more so for poetry and prose but they are insufferable. I once asked someone to take my place on stage and they would not do it. Surprise surprise.

      Kyle Snyder It’s telling that you’re actively trying to rationalize ways to “properly” generalize about entire groups of people for no apparent reason. What’s the fucking point? I’m pretty sure that you just want to say something innocuous but stereotypical and then pretend to be all offended and victimized by the “woke” police when you’re inevitably called out. My question is: why do you want to generalize about an ethnic or racial minority group? Is this really the hill you’re looking to die on?
      Basically, I find that people who are so hung up on other people’s identities tend to have issues with said people. It’s similar to a guy like Mike pence. He seems so preoccupied with fighting against basic equality for LGTB+ people. I would not be surprised in the least if he turned out to be on the down-low. Would you?

    "That was your..thesis?" LOL You're a legend Stevo and you're always welcome to come back to Australia. Personally I don't understand the hatred some people have for Jews. I never understood it and I still don't. It never ceases to amaze me how divisive human beings can be. Because that's how I see people. Whatever their race or culture, to me they're all just people. And yet they treat each other like they're not even the same species. The absurdity of that blows my mind.

    At my friend's church the pastor, who is my friend's dad, regularly jokes around. Sometimes he goes a little too far with a joke and people will hold up the yellow prayer cards like it's a soccer match. They're a fun bunch.

      Em Hu oh most definitely. I see in the LGBT+ community all the time. Whenever ace/aro/nonbinary/whatever discourse comes around and the community starts the split, homo/transphobes don’t even have to work hard to reduce it to crumbs, sometimes the community does it themselves.
      That’s why it’s so important that even with divides there’s a reminder to stay civil and more importantly, stay willing to defend each other when oppression does come around for the community. Once that’s done, the focus on intersectionality with activism starts to become a lot easier and progress gets made faster.

    The closest to an acceptable heckle in that situation: "Hey man, I work at hobby lobby, we're not nazis!"
    And then Steve goes "But you *are* asshole enough to shout out during shows, so close enough"

      So I don’t get why Steve gets to pretend Jews wouldn’t work at hobby lobby saying they’re too good for that but this guy pointing out an objective fact is anti Semitic. It’s weird how Steve gets to use his heritage to pretend he’s better
