Saying to inject bleach. itr themt an excuse fo to have dominion over you. it may be , however, thatera they re on to at leastpe cop one point. the one thing that average people might copy from a comedian is the willingness f to mock the people in charge. whatheyt they fear. they don t want to be mockedh . yeah, and there s a definite theyh in i comedy that cuts rigt to the core and they know if they lose and can t silence that community, there s going to be issues. remember when john stewart washe on stephen colbert show several months ago and he was like,u hello, wunan lab leak there s virology lab upan the street, don t you think a watch cobus reaction to that. he was like, oh, my god. reactio one of our own has crossed our o the line, but it s not crossingi the line. it s a comediang then being funy and making observations that are patently true.
i mean, they seem to think te it s the most important thing they do. and i mean, there s a reasony an for thatd . i it mockery and and criticismi tn can expose foolishness that can make you look silly. i think that s the big weak point, especially when yoe ideas that you re trying to defend are indefensible.n th you know, you don t wante ev to have arguments about it. you want to shuten down the debate before the debate even happens. you know, i didn t expect that it would come to the point that it s come to and that we would see the kind of content moderation, as they like b to call it, that we re seeingas that basically just silencicalle is one side of the discussion and takes out even people in aare who are trying to use humor effectively in we re the conversation. but here we are. i m excited, hplace. and i don t know, i m i mk excited. i m hopeful that that mayb wie musk will be ablg e to fight back and do something about this. he s certainly facing a lot of challenges right out
Radical group decided to shut it down, hundreds of antifa affiliated twitter accounts started bombardingng the the vee called the williams center. they also went after the chief police of rutherford, a man called john russo, and they threatened violenc chie. now, at that point, a chief of police who wanted to defendlice the constitution, his solemn duty would have pushed back and affirmedto the sacred right of free expression of every american. but that s not whacoe freet ruse instead, he caved to demands of the mob. he warned the venue that ife venue might save face civil liability if they let free speech continue. if they alloweh tod the show tow on , then he said he would shut down the show on , quote, ultiic the safety grounds. soma ultimately, the williams center had no choicee wh and canceled the show. in the end, the only peopl e wil who showed ulip the williams center that night were several police officers, and they were there to make was noedy takie st comedy taking place, no
That s i mean, that s a really , good point. won i wonder, though, when t all a f this ends, one a lot of comedians be ashamed that they went along with speech codes which are antithetical to comedy and free thinking. ancomedians eat count chocolate for the morning in a bathrobe in their living room every night. they do not feel shame. they they don t have the same that the rest of americt a is constrained by . so, no, they don t normally feelnormally shame. they eat animals, stay up all night and make jokes. so there are hard demographic to shame. but my feeling is , is if you re a comedian, you got in yu it to say what you wanted to say. and if you re curtailing that in any way, especially because some woke are going after youth ,then you re a coward
,you know, it s it s just not that funny. well, after that interview,>e twitter, as if to prove it has no sense of humor at all, banned the babylon be their crime. they made fun ofhe the administration s fake trans admiral, that guy in a dress they re calling female. we all know what elon musk did next. he bought twitter in a we ll mus speak to the ceo of the babylon bee about what musk must do i to restore free speech to thiss country. what is cleapoinr this point is that after elon musk fired half of twitter s employees, twitter got better. why?th because they were the censors. and twitter isn t the only company, many of whoseur freedom employees work effectively as censors to shut down your freedom to say what you ts think outside netflix headquarters last year, protesters, some of themsoe cens netflix employees, gathered to demand the censorship of daveorf dave chappelle. watch this. now, i now it s okay to laugh
