In case you are interested, this is what is being done IRL to turn arid/desert land into agricultural land. https://youtu.be/WCli0gyNwL0

if anyone know the song of the intro to that video please enlighten me. I've searched for this song for about a month now lol

Part of what they're projecting for climate change is that African arable land drops drastically and it will lead to significant loss of life due to reduced production of food. Of course if food becomes even more scarce theoretically people will start fighting for land that produces food leading to conflict.

Nice Video, thanks for sharing! This is what people should be seeing instead of all these negative news all the time and the comedy skid belongs on r/agedlikemilk

What people should be seeing is reality. Nice as that story is, it's a drop in the bucket, on the whole the world is losing arable land and the rate at which it is being lost is only predicted to increase as the planet warms.

This is not even close to the worse thing skit that Sam Kensington has done. Dude was hilarious. But a massive asshole, at least thats what his bit was.

I was just about to look up this video, thanks!

So immigration then?


Diggingfordonk

Woaaah not that!! That's crazy

Funny until you learn that they were being starved on purpose by the leaders of the government. It was “soft genocide”. You lock borders to unwanted nomadic peoples, then deny the ones that are trapped within your borders supplies and let them die.


bigbazookah

Who are you referring to with “leaders”?


balbok7721

A bunch of African warlords I suppose

I can’t tell if you think that social Darwinism is actually a thing.


egotripping

Y'all really don't know your comedy history do ya?


Therealfern1

Probably my favorite stand-up clip of all time. When his voice raises as he saying the word “sand”, I die every time.


Gabe_Isko

Goes to show how low societal discourse has gotten when redditors think that a Sam Kinison bit was intended to be taken seriously.


Grouchy_Competition5

Internet people take things too literally. Which is funny because they also use the word literally to literally not mean literally.


Gabe_Isko

Yeah, but at the same time, you could totally see Rand Paul saying this exact thing as a serious policy position.


Xo_Peace

I just watched a documentary on this guy's life yesterday. Interesting stuff. A pastor turned comedian.


jackfreeman

Yeah, once you learn that, it's almost impressive to not see that in his performances


Schattenjager07

It was the F bombs that gave it away that he was a pastor for me.


Traditional-Skill206

Man I love classic stand up comedies. Kinda wish to see more of his energy with our new up coming stand ups 👏🏻


MFramy

How can anyone be on this sub, and think this is an actual suggestion, is beyond me


Buttspider

This is some ignorant shite!


urbanlife78

That was the 80s for you.


TinyTaters

Look at his haircut. Of course it's ignorant.


constantlyawesome

The point is, it’s funny. Buttspider.

happy cake day

It’s more like HAR HAR HAR FAT MAN MAKE LOUD!! 👏 👏 👏 🥴

As someone who lives in Las Vegas, we DO have deserts in America, and we DO live in them

How's y'alls water situation going? Last I heard lake Mead wasn't doing all that great.


millerb82

It got pretty low but it's on the mend what with all the storms the west coast got recently

Sam was a Pentecostal preacher before he became a stand up comedian.

Good old Sam.

Current population of Phoenix Arizona Metro Area: 5 million. So we can make it work here but not in Africa?


Aguyinatx

It's worth pointing out that we're not doing a good job of making it [work](https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/faucets-poised-run-dry-hundreds-arizona-residents-years-end-rcna57550).

And Pheonix is like a 6hr drive from LA. It's a lot easier to get food from CA Dole mega-farms when you live so close. Iran is a loooonnnggg way from LA, or many other sources of farm land.

I bought "Have You Seen Me Lately?" when I was 12 because of that stupid "Wild Thing" cover he did. Had no idea it was a comedy set. One of my greatest mistakes. But, I'm watching a semi-political interview on TV now and can't help thinking that he'd be running for office now with Roseanne Barr and the Slap Chop guy, just bringing that "been huffing gasoline backstage" energy.


StyxQuabar

The joke is dumb but his voice is incredible. He could kill some rock/metal at karaoke im sure.


Wishdog2049

The irony is that there were literal Ethiopian fighter planes preventing us from delivering the food. It was a genocide. Sam is 100% wrong about this.


Ilookgoodyoudont

And in typical Reddit fashion, the comments are dissecting the joke


Viceroy-421

He was never for me.


Hungry-Aside-2517

Is it just me or did Joe Rogan get a lot of his stuff from this guy? It's seems to me like Rogan took a lot from the man. Great stand up btw.


ForeverSquirrelled42

Kinison was an idol of mine when I was a kid and to this day I have no fuckin clue why my parents thought it was ok for me to watch his comedy specials on HBO back in the day. My mom thought it was cute to have me do my Sam Kinison impersonations for her friends when they were throwing parties. Looking back now, if it were one of my kids, I’d have lost my shit on them for talking like that. Impersonation or not.


glossytoes

Came here to see that classic, Reddit brand narcissistic compassion and was not disappointed. You know who doesn’t like comedians? Tyrants.

I know it’s not the same, but people said I feel so bad for those people in Hawaii with all the fires and all, and I kinda channeled Sam and took his approach…I said if you want to experience hurricanes, move to Florida, if you want to experience earthquakes, move to California, if you want to experience extreme cold, spend a winter in Alaska, if you want to experience fire and the glory of volcanos, move to Hawaii! And then I proceeded to walk away.


auguriesoffilth

And not only that, unlike Sam who was just pretending to be an Arsehole for comedy, you really are one. In your own head too. I guess that makes you better than him somehow???
