      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.

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.

      That's probably not what he means though. You can be annoyed by the constant discussion, but the word he used specifically was "noise". As in, sound that does not contain information. Useless data. Jokes about politics, for example - which isn't the same as (relevant) news or constructive conversation. Granted, 98% of what you see could qualify as noise, but that's not the same as "everyone just go away".

    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.

    I think it’s so great that Bo likes to be apolitical in his comedies.
    Anyway, I’m about to go watch his sock friend teach me about the values of Marxism

    Whoever mic-ed up the reported needs to do a better job and directing the radio mic to his face and the sound person needs to make sure the level are good. If there was a technical issue with the reporters audio that's understandable but come on guys!

    I want someone to look at me the way Anthony Mason looks at Bo. Anthony just knows the guy is a genius.

    I almost prefer him talking like this on podcasts and interviews over his stand up.
