Last night, I went to the Jimmy Dore Show with some friends and had a blast. Going in, I was only a little bit familiar with Dore, so I didn't really know what to expect. As it turns out, his comedy was great, and the issues he focused on were almost all things I've been blogging about.
Dore's political story was reminiscent of my own. He supported Bernie Sanders in 2016 and became completely disillusioned by the corruption that prevented Sanders from securing the nomination. Now he hates both parties and the whole machine preventing us from ever having a real choice about our government. I totally relate to these sentiments.
Much of Dore's act was centered on the pandemic response and how big of a scam that was. He called it the biggest crime of all time, considering all of the lies and the injuries caused by the dangerous experimental vaccine we were all pressured to take. Dore himself was injured by the vaccine, so his passion on the issue was set to maximum. This was a big hit with the audience of 400.
One area that gave me pause was Dore's rage at billionaires. It's true that billionaires as a class could end hunger, poverty, and war if they actually wanted to bring about an end to these things. It's also true that they wield a horrid degree of power in our society. But raging at the individuals always struck me as pointless. They're just gears in a clockwork. When one goes away, another begins occupying the vacant position immediately. I feel like we all could decide at any moment to reconfigure this clockwork. Maybe Dore's rage is a step in that direction.
One nice surprise in the performance was the mention of former DNC staffer Seth Rich, who I've written about before. Rich leaked DNC documents to Wikileaks then died mysteriously, while the leak was blamed on Russia in the media. Dore's act didn't get into specifics, but at least some audience members probably went home and looked Rich up. I feel like this is part of the magic of the act.
There were times during the night where I felt like I was watching my blog as a comedy act. What this tells me, more than anything, is that Dore and I are seeing similar information and drawing similar conclusions. The rest of the audience had seen this same information and drawn these same conclusions. Dore has a million followers. That's a lot of people embracing an anti-establishment message.
The sense I got, sitting in that crowd, was that people were finally starting to wake up and ask questions. About the pandemic. About the war. About the money. About everything, really, in light of all the lies we've been told for so long.
I think the covid lies in particular are motivating more and more people to begin rejecting the official story. Entertainers like Dore seem to be helping people make sense of the world outside this story, by reminding us that, yes, it's bad, but it's also hilarious. Overall, I recommend seeing Jimmy Dore if the opportunity presents itself.
