John Oliver discusses how state medical boards fail to protect patients, Kamala Harris’s awkward call for a ceasefire in Gaza, the North Carolina Republican running for Governor, and which reality show would benefit from becoming a government psyop.

why is this program so addictive? it’s not even aimed at people outside the US and yet I can’t stop watching it been a decade now

[@crippskywalk]

Yeah, what I have learned from John is to only move to USA if I'm rich

[@peikkojumala]

My country is USA-lite and going hard on Full-usa, so i guess it's kinda "fun" to watch my own future.

[@DefconDelta88]

To be fair, US politics are such a fucking circus (with global economic ripples, yaaay) that between the sheer entertainment value, and John Oliver being an unreasonably charismatic treasure of a human being, it has its draw for the rest of us, haha.

[@kluge1245]

These KZbin uploads are actually aimed at people outside the US. My understanding is this is not available within the US on KZbin due to copyright.

No shot, I'm still disgusted by the illegal immigrants with European heritage who had their ancestors crossing the ocean, cheating, bullying, unaliving into extinction and rap__g Indigenous in the name of "progress" and call family, friends and neighbors to do the same. To few years later be afraid and read to protect "their" lands from the Indigenous because they want to steal, cheat, bully unalive and rap_ them, according to them. Worse? They think Palestinians "lost" the war and should give up their homes. They don't believe in war. They don't want to spend money on that, even if it is their weapons sold that are doing the damage and are always them one way or another. That is impressive how they are always in the middle of fkd up things. They don't believe in having a soul, morals or accountability. And if you say something, you can expect some xenophobic, stupid, racist, historic wrong, a denial, or a mockery as "shut down" answer. They love to say, "You are jealous," yes Karen, we all are because everyone is jelous of your strength and intelligence... yes....

[@NyanyiC]

As a junior doctor/intern I was harrassed, victimized and bullied by a a senior colleague and the board did nothing because it was it was just a collection of doctors at her level. It would never be allowed to happen in any other field. Needless to say, it changed the whole trajectory of my life and career

[@GuerillaBunny]

Unfortunately, it does happen in other fields. At least in Astronomy. Dr. Angela Collier made a 2-hour video about it. It's probably happening a whole host of fields, but it's never talked about in detail, because as long as those fields self-policed by older men, there isn't much that can be done about it... There are also toxic incentives to keep quiet about it. I mean, there was a whole #metoo movement about it.

[@user-hj7bz4ub7k]

[@jacebonus06]

This is my comfort show... ngl Edit: I find comfort in being well-informed about life, in general. It's easier to digest information with the way John Oliver's show presents complex issues. Finding comfort in knowing things does not mean that I do not feel other emotions over the topics and issues.

[@spicybeefsalad]

what he doesn't talk about is the strenuous and VERY expensive process (well over 10k, if you're doing specialization it can run well over 30k) cost of getting your medical license. Every doctor has been through this and is hesitant to take away licenses for this reason. I think the whole thing should be reformed.
