@jdvdub @Theophite I generally do like his comedic persona. I also recognize it is appealing to my self-regard and tribal instincts. That’s fine but let’s not pretend it’s a substantive defense of public shaming beyond “but people like it” — PolitiTweet.org

@Theophite @jdvdub Its conditional, not full-throated support is what I argued with. Even it wasn’t persuasive. Maybe someone else’s conditional case for public shaming stands up to scrutiny but John Oliver’s didn’t — PolitiTweet.org
