In a recent monologue, Oliver humorously addressed America's paradoxical behavior, likening it to a monarchy. He asserted that, while kings may act swiftly, the outcomes are often questionable. Oliver highlighted America's imperial characteristics through examples like invasions and economic exploits, arguing that the nation is producing an empire-like impression despite claiming to resist imperialism. Stewart voiced concerns over this imperial model, while Oliver countered with an acknowledgment of America’s current stance and actions, illustrating the absurdity of the situation through sharp wit and humor.
Have you seen anything America has done over the last 50 years? Because for a country that doesn't want to be an empire, you're doing a pretty fucking good impression of one right now.
Invasions, economic exploitations, and now suggesting turning Gaza into a beachfront casino? Even King George would've been like, 'I don't know guys. Feels like the situation's a bit more complicated than that ― and I'm literally dying of medieval brain disease.'
