what’s ironic is if you listen to the second half of it instead of just the part where socko lists off socioeconomic problems it’s blatantly obvious that song was about white saviors trying to make every issue about them and silencing the actual groups affected by the issues in order to make themselves look “based” or politically aware, not about politics itself. but the majority of Bo’s fanbase doesn’t post or spread that part of the song/clip only the part where socko lists off the issues, in a sense silencing socko unless he’s saying what they want him to, in an attempt to make themselves look based.

When I said "insightful", I was primarily referring to the idea that people are going to get _bored_ of Trump's antics in the same way that people were/are _excited_ about him. I haven't heard it put in those terms by many people. Most of the discussion I've seen is usually about how people will reject his "ridiculous policy" or be outraged by his "offensive rhetoric".

But to claim that the socko song isn’t an intentional (and very intricately woven together) hit at capitalism is in fact what misses the point. Even just the fact that he worked so many references to Marxism into that songs shows that he knows a fair bit about the fundamentals of anti-capitalist thought which in itself is a pretty good indication of his political position.

I knew years ago when I first had seen some of Bo's early songs, I knew that he seemed way beyond his years in depth and intellect. Until now, I haven't got to see a whole lot of interviews of this sort with Bo. But seeing this one, it only confirms once again that at only 16 years old, he appears way beyond his years. I really hope he stays in the 'game' and continues to be relevant, because I think he will be able to give that deep comedy that has a lot of meaning mixed with satire. Something along the lines of a George Carlin or even Bill Burr on some level. Obviously they have different comedic styles, most notable one being that most of Bo's is done thru song. Bo still has some growing to do, and hopefully he will continue to evolve into a great comedic thinker.

gatlyngun When I first watched the video, I had initially glanced at the description and saw that it said 16 years old. Obviously I should of looked a little closer. And I just kind of accepted it without giving it much thought that he obviously looks older than that. But yep, you got me there.

I'm glad he changed his view on this or at least it looks like it by what I've seen in Inside. Making a good critique of a politician/political system while being funny is hard, but it also makes for a really entertaining show. Best comedians imo are those who have the courage to speak truth to power in way that hasn't been done before.

I've seen so many KZfaqrs come out for one side or the other, and the common phrase is "your vote matters, go vote" and then they tell you who to vote for. The fact of the matter is, voting is a right, but not a duty. The message should really be, "I encourage you to do your research before you vote rather than me telling you what to think." Don't go vote for someone because a celebrity told you to. Good on you Bo.

He literally says all the same things consistently, he keeps giving us the same introspective and extrospective analysis disguised through the lens of humor and no matter how much time passes it only ever becomes more & more & more relevant & resonant to all of us. We only love him more over time and identify with his unwavering philosophy and perspective more and more no matter how often we hear it nor in what context, an interview, a special, an old video. He is not timeless, he is more like a fine wine that only gets better as more time passes.

He was literally asked directly about politics, said that comedians should avoid politics, and then gave his opinion on Trump's effect on comedy exclusively. He was wrong on some subjects and right on others, he was wrong about the people getting bored of Trump but he was right on the formula used to keep him relevant - he simply underestimated Trump's worth, comedically.
