I personally wouldn't call it free thinking to assume that every single thing on the news is a lie. Free thinking is discernment, you think and judge for yourself, don't fall in love with any single perspective, ie all news is true, or all news is fake news, they're both two sides of a binary.

That was pretty much what Malcolm X used to tell African Americans.

[@thomaspaaruppedersen6781]

@@rolandschneider1741 It goes to the ability of a 20-year old, barely awake to myriad of conflicting aspects of navigating the world, to assess his - or my - beliefs about races. And yes, I adhere to the 'old' definition of racism. The new 'everyone who not black is a racist because they live in a society where blacks on average fare worse than whites' is bullshit. It's useless. Because if everyone is a racist just for living in a certain place then what's the point in using that term. Meanwhile, the term 'racist' evokes some really nasty connotations which very few people whishes to associate themselves with, so it becomes a weapon against which there is no defense. Btw. it was never an argument but more a feeling of "You don't get to judge me based on near-zero knowledge of me or my values and possibly a snippet of what I've said, taken out of context."

I was a teacher for 23 years, and I agree with Steve whole-heartedly. I had so many students who were labeled ADD, ADHD, etc. long before the parents and system allowed them to simply grow up and be a child. Insane! Colleagues always asked me, "How did you make him/her do that!?" I would reply, "I didn't make him/her do anything. I let him/her be & explore the topic." Simple, but so hard for teachers and adults to do, who want to control children (for classroom management). You can't. You can guide them through discipline, common sense, and kindness, but you can't control them. Now, many of them are out on the streets, rioting, or losing themselves, taking drugs. And still, the system and the "community" look the other way. I, personally wish I could help, but am not sure what to do. So much has gone amok and apeshit crazy.

[@thadtuiol1717]

I've visited many places in the US on biz trips, and I can honestly say that the best times I've had were in the southern states, with southerners. There's a base level of politeness and respect there that the rest of the country doesn't have. I'm ashamed of all the Hollywood-driven stereotypes I believed about the south as a child growing up in the UK. And don't think for one moment that any of this was by accident...

[@betsyj59]

I've thought about this for years. The "south" has been used as the corporate approved liberal punching bag for a very, very long time, used as an "enemy within" onto which liberals could project (in the Freudian sense) all their own repressed and disavowed behavior and traits. More recently, the "south" as been replaced by the "Trumpster" - southern and mid-western non-college educated ex-workers whose jobs were outsourced abroad. Interesting how those people are now considered "the enemy within," the very people whose lives the global corporatists have destroyed have been made into the vehicle onto which educated liberals can project their repressed fantasies (and march along to the corporatist tune without ever having to admit that is what they are doing).

[@NonLocalYokel]

They don't quite know what to do with it, but have the sense to let him run. The limited number of questions they ask were well weighted. I'm not huge fans of theirs, but they did a great job of not fucking it up.

[@BuddhishMusic]

They pointed him back to interesting points when he went too far for the center of their audience. An admirable interview tactic and arguably the ideal tactic when putting out content for a diverse audience. This is how you do it folks.

Look at the smile on FF's face, he loves this guy. And rightly so.

[@LeeorBrookscomedy]

Steve is truly an inspiration and a real underground comedy legend that needs to get an HBO special.

I remember in the 90s quite a few times at parties been pinned in a corner by blokes like Steve, thinking what a paranoid nutcase . but guess what ?they were nearly all correct ..

I know exactly what you mean.

Omg I effing love Steve Hughes

[@iamwedged2705]

Absolutely loved it. It was like watching metal artists talk to mainstream media I'll over again.

[@NeilWestlake]

This was one of your most enjoyable episodes so far. Unexpected, well done.

[@Hookythehammer]

I love the punk/woke analogy 😂 had me in bits cos it's so true. Back in the day having bright coloured hair meant you were edgy and a bit of a rebel. You most probably wore DMs. Nowadays bright hair colours symbolise the woke generation, where they're more likely to wear rainbow DMs with BML badges pinned to the laces instead of blood and beer.

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

All true. I wish this were discussed more. I've left so many comments over the past few years talking about this stuff and was met with crickets. I kept thinking, 'oh my god am I the only one who's anti-woke but who's grown up around artistic, funny, easy-going cultural agitators in the DIY punk underground scene who has been paying attention to the deformed, weirdo body-swap situation in the so-called 'underground' artpunk/music scenes of today?!' I'm so glad more people are popping up to talk about how bloody bizarre it all is; I recognise NOTHING. The kids today are the biggest pack of uptight, controlling, emotionally brittle morons going. I felt very much in a minority years ago. So glad you left your comment, really cheering to know I'm not talking to a wall. 👍

Hi might be a comedian, but everything he is saying is totally spot on.

[@rocker99908]

I listen to a lot of comedians and they are more spot on than most people I talk or listen to

[@mile3018]

You just had to know, we're all in very deep shit if the most accurate truth of current events is gleaned from comedians. Doesn't matter what continent (N. American, personally) this is happening in, it's like witnessing the death of a mine-canary watching cancel culture level its reticule at comedians (and free speech by proxy)!

[@jrb_sland5066]

From about 35:00 onward, Mr. Hughes suddenly gets to the heart of many matters in our current society. He has clearly spent a lot of time thinking/reasoning on these things. At 45:00 he reveals his recognition that we need to let go, and let the world do the same. We cannot predict the future, and the attempt to schedule our actions on a minute-by-minute basis is non-productive if we won't stop to smell the flowers. Great interview!

[@shaynewest8757]

I knew Steve was deep but this is mind blowing. Good to see hes recovered and looking well from a fellow 80s headbanger.

[@KellieJayKeen]

Oooooo I’m saving this for tomorrow when I can give it my full attention. I love Steve.

[@AndyJarman]

He's so right. Just what are people being protected from 'hate' for? Since when was a dislike of something a threat the anyone? Why are the politicians not complaining about the police arresting people for thought crimes? It's all completely BONKERS.

[@Komnenos1191]

I didn’t know this geezer before the interview , but he’s funny as fuck and one of the sanest people around .

[@siaeva]

Steve was awesome. Wish the interviewers would have lightened up a bit though - felt awkward to see them looking so serious while Steve is cracking jokes and laughing!
