tantruming young Left have utterly killed comedy. And their music stinks, too–because a group like “The Clash” could NEVER do a song like Rock The Casbah anymore.
The blistering force of rebellion that drove Punk Rock is dead, and now Billy Idol is a snarling act for the company Workday (who?). Gee, I wonder what he got paid per fake snarl…
All that is left is the groveling kowtow pablum of trained monkeys, singing and dancing and doing comedy at the end of strings held by their societal masters, while touching their foreheads to the ground in a show of lickspittle, servile deference.
Flash forward to 2024, when a very large portion of the population is most definitely not ever in it for the fun. Woke leftism is so twisted that it manages to turn young people into bitter, pinched, “Get off my lawn!” types. They actually seek to be offended.
… Comedy has nothing to do with “community values” because, as I mentioned earlier, it’s subjective. Often, at its best, stand-up is uncomfortable as hell but still makes people laugh because it’s cathartic. These people don’t want catharsis, because there’s a level of introspection involved in that. [emphasis added]
