will they do a sketch about US prison labor? or one mentioning the actual genocide happening right now, being perpetrated with bombs and guns? will they do a sketch talking about Nike or american companies using forced labor? nope.
death to AmeriKKKa
SNL have been good little genocide enablers, but a couple weeks ago on Weekend Update, during a joke about Biden saying he wouldn’t send in National Guard troops to clear university encampments, Michael Che quipped, “I’m just glad to see him not send military aid somewhere.”
Complete crickets in the studio.
I’m not a huge fan of Che as a comedian, but his shocked reaction to the absolute silence in the studio made it one of the funniest moments I’ve seen on the show in years.
Found it, about 1:50
Or maybe the studio laughed but they edited it out
I wouldn’t doubt it for a second. The video JoeByeThen shared has some scattered laughs that I didn’t remember from the version I saw. It could be one was from dress and the other from the live show, but editing out laughs is just as likely for sure.
Not gonna watch that but if the “joke” is that the “Uyghur genocide” is enabled by fast fashion… the actual reality is that fast fashion is 110% pure capitalism that depends on workers in places like Bangladesh living in conditions similar to what Engels described in The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844.
I can guarantee you that nobody who still watches Saturday Night Live has read a non-young-adult-fiction book in the past 10 years.
I side-eye tf out of socialists who still watch shit like SNL cause like there’s infinite amounts of content on the internet and you choose this?
What about Americas funniest home videos. I’ll never understand how that’s still watched.
I liked it better when it was called Tosh.0
you mean Joel McHale’s The Soup thank you very much
cause like there’s infinite amounts of content on the internet and you choose this?
Every time I admit I like some YT comedian on here I get 20 people calling me a Lib for it.
Socialism means no comedy. The only laughter allowed is when you make a witty dunk on a right-winger. This will continue until all jokes are punching up.
Someone needs to keep an eye on wretched Lib shit.
wrong. my parents. their parents.
We don’t even have to see outside of the US. The DoD uses prison labor to make uniforms which are made at a surplus to sell to the public. You’d be surprised by the stuff the prison system makes in your life.
Literally the US Constitution
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States
Ok but just because we constitutionally allow slavery doesn’t mean we’re Chinese which makes anything we do 100% times worse.
Firing a giant ray that turns people Chinese at the US ruling circles so that they will be trapped in the compulsion to ask “but at what cost?” about their own actions
To claim that fast fashion is harmful to workers and then perpetuate the myth that those workers are unskilled is ridiculous. China is home to some of the most skilled clothing artisans in the world and it’s indeed very possible to buy affordable clothes from there where the workers having a higher purchasing power parity than the median American.
To claim that fast fashion is part of overconsumption and then perpetuate the myth that all cheap clothes fall apart after a single use is ridiculous. The rag houses are fucking overflowing and most second hand shops are inundated with clothes they will never sell. These clothes are lasting long enough to reach the landfills and then some.
Meanwhile, LA is notorious for its clothing sweat shops full of human trafficking victims. I’m not saying exploitative labor doesn’t exist in China. But this shit is such a racist double standard.
Anyone who is able should be buying most of their clothes second hand, anyway.
Meanwhile, LA is notorious for its clothing sweat shops full of human trafficking victims.
The garment district is…something else.
Yeah the timing on this is super sus. The Uyghur allegations are stale news at this point, trying to run interference for the genocide being signed off on by the western “rules-based international order.”
“even ones with wrong religion” wtf do the SNL writers think the right religion is for the CPC?
“if it were would you stop buying it?” What are the odds someone in the writers’ room has a sodastream?
100%
This episode is brought to you by pepsi, a Yum! Brands subsidiary, yummers!
Pure projection. Western society forces Christianity on others, so obviously the bad guys do it too.
Same with that Han supremacy nonsense
Do they realise how lost a battle this is?
Liberals pretending to care about Muslims while supporting a party currently engaged in the genocide of Muslims, that’s all that needs to be said about this filth
wasn’t even the most egregious sketch of the night - to be honest with you. my roommate watches it religiously so inevitably every saturday night I will happen to catch parts of various sketches as I’m in the kitchen.
the one that really got under my skin was the bike trail one where the entire joke is…people who bike on public trails are annoying?? was just sitting in the kitchen doing the dishes and hearing the sketch, waiting for the eventual punchline or subversion of expectations, but no…four minutes of “don’t you hate when you’re walking 2 abreast on a public trail, partially in the designated bike lane, & someone rides up and gives you a “on your left” to warn you they’re approaching and that you should get out of their way? yeah we hate them too”
SNL being SNL I was struck with the thought that whoever wrote the sketch (Colin Jost I know it was your insufferable ass) must have been walking in a bike lane somewhere in Manhattan and gotten bowled the fuck over by a cyclist who is tired of telling people to get out of the way.

This triggered a memory of the number of jokes in the 2000s in very professional media that were just “lol gay”
SNL always was and is garbage
We need Trump back so they go back to 3 cheeto sketches a week paralysing DC liberals with laughter
I mean probably didn’t even have something that interesting happen to them. A lot of SNL these days is just social media (twitter) interactions/“jokes”. Whoever wrote it likely just came across dumb bike discourse and regurgitated it.
Why do Americans keep talking about Uyghurs as if they’re not proudly and openly supporting Israeli genocide against Palestinians lol
Also, most American chuds and many libs don’t consider Muslims to be human. It’s just concern trolling.
The US uses incarcerated people to fight wildfires. These workers can be paid as little as $2.90 A DAY and experience injuries four times greater than professional firefighters and smoke inhalation injuries at an eight times greater rate. They are also typically ineligible for civilian firefighting jobs when released due to their criminal records.
Whataboutism
whataboutism 
Making this now is the most tonedeaf thing these spineless libs could do
Saturday Night Liberalism
This was one of the first things I saw on the path to becoming an actual communist that supports AES and understands how completely I was lied to as a westerner, so it’s a subject close to my heart.
Unlimited genocide on imperial propagandists
This is a minor point but I love how the BBC report starts with “the BBC has found evidence” and then the whole report is just a scary voiceover using footage from the positive news story. Like yeah you found that evidence just like Columbus found America didn’t ya.
That was a good watch, thanks for sharing. When Zenz came on I was like
Yeah same, the first time I saw it I obviously had no clue but when I rewatched it later I was like YOU!!
China abolished prison labour recently, but in the USA it’s been law for 200 years.
Really makes you think
ever snl “actor” a criminal
