@@HuckFlynn Horseshoe theory is also a myth. You may want to keep that in mind. Yes, with centrists (aka liberals) being the most “anti-gun,” for lack of a better term, it leaves the other parts of the horseshoe to pick an answer in a binary… “Pro-2A” or “anti-2A.” Of course, the truth is less convenient than this - and the most sweeping anti-firearm legislation ever passed was the Mulford Act in California when Ronald Reagan was governor - because people typically are not monoliths unless they’re in groups (or on social media, which is more and more a groupthink setting, at the very least.) My experience is that people who are “easily offended” or “pro-censorship” tend to come from the strictest of all political movements - neoliberals and conservatives (if we even want to pretend they’re different anymore.) Liberals, as is par for the course, usually want to moderate the types of things that are socially acceptable or said informally. Whereas conservatives usually want to mandate what can or cannot be said or done under penalty of law. If you know a single leftist (mind you, not *liberal* but an actual socialist, communist or anarchist) who wants anything even approaching a flag-burning amendment, a book ban or a limitation on the use of recording equipment to monitor police and justice system officials, I’d love to hear about it. Personally, I fall somewhere between the latter two of the three types of leftists I mentioned. As are most of the people I associate with in a political realm. I don’t think I know a single leftist who supports *anything* like that.

Mel Brooks has talked about using Richard Pryor as a consultant to make sure he didn't go to far in scripting Blazing Saddles. An incredible work of screen satire that highlighted the stupidity of racism. There's not a chance in hell it would ever get greenlit today. And where might you ask did I see this film? On the campus of Swarthmore College, while visiting my brother, and attending Alumni weekend with my Dad. My brother had a radio show on campus where he played the Blues, and highlighted the impact and artistry of African American music on all music created here in the U S of A. Sounds pretty woke to me. Facepalm. Racism certainly needs to continued to be talked about, especially since the right has been using it as a major plank in their campaigns the last 2 decades. But censoring things to the point of dullness, and oh please don't hurt anyone's feeling, the needle has swung to far in both directions at the same time.

@@lewisbeshers1946 Racism was already going away. I remember in the 90s nobody giving a shit about racism and everyone just being cool with every one else. WAs there still racism? Sure. But it was being fought in a good way. You saw media of good characters who happen to be black or gay or whatever. Now, that they're black or gay is their character and it's both it's own kind of racism (tokenism and reducing someone to arbitrary characteristics) and grifting. Look at BLM, it's a literal grift that's now being investigated but if anyone criticized it, they'd be automatically called racist. This breeds dissent as A) it posits that everyone forgets that racism is bad if they're not browbeat about it constantly and B) the people who were doing the browbeating turned out to be just as bad and as corrupt, if not more so than the very people they were criticizing. All of this race hustling has done nothing but set back integration of minorities by years if not decades and it's largely the left doing it.

Even if he reacted before, you would have said the same thing. Or even if he did react the first time, you'd just say that he is overreacting to a one-time offense. Also, the idea that a person must react to something immediately is ridiculous. What? Are you saying that a person can only use their first reaction to an action and must stick to it?

Jokes usually hit on our pain points & stressors too. We laugh, because laughter is a release of stress. It's therapeutic. And we usually laugh either because "it's true, it's so true!" (because if we didn't laugh, we'd have to cry), or because a comedian took a common point and exaggerated it to the point of ridiculousness, to mock something else being ridiculous. I've always said laughter is healing. If we can laugh at e.g. racism, that means it's behind us, in the rearview mirror, and only getting further away. But if we can't laugh at it... that must mean it's a serious problem, and getting worse, which means we're regressing as a society.

I like to use that as an example: if we're a gang of friends, of bros, and we had 1 guy in a wheelchair in the team, how would he feel if everybody all cracked jokes at each other's expense, except him? He'd probably feel EXCLUDED, right? Because that's exactly what you're doing, excluding him from the fun, because of some warped idea that "they can't handle it." Ask him yourself, I bet he'll say, "I hang out with you guys all the time, and your lame dick & fart jokes, and you think I can't handle one coming my way? Try me." Society needs to learn (again) there's a difference between making a joke about someone or something, vs. mocking directly. Stephen Hawking was a world famous figure, loved and respected. And plenty of jokes were made "about" him. (My favorite is the ERB video with him rap battling Einstein). But I think the pearl-clutchers fail to realize, none of the jokes were "LOL look at him, he's in a wheelchair". Because that's not funny. What's funny is accepting him for all he is, his achievements and his condition, and still making jokes about it regardless. It's true equality.

"Self-censorship, the worst kind of all" So true
@churrothiev83872 жыл бұрын
No. The human brains have exactly a department for self-censorship. It's called the frontal lobes. Without these, a person can be as barbaric as he could be and will jump into the next impulse without calculating the costs. Studies have shown that series killers and especially bull-dog-type psychopaths don't have developed frontal lobes like an average person does. So no, if self-censorship is the worst kind of all, why does the human body have a mechanism for it? Yes, I do talk about censoring in all forms, actions, words and thoughts, the frontal lobes do that. There's nothing wrong with self-censorship in itself. With almost everything it's only bad when it's an extreme. Stop parroting something someone said just because it hypes you in the moment.

Because in most cases, if you're physically assaulting someone but feel confident showing them your back, you already knew you should have never been physical. If you genuinely think he aught to apologize, then tell him, or fuck off with your feelings. To think you'd be arrogant enough to feel like you should go through life without anyone ever offending you is absolutely insane.

Identity politics. It is when we transitioned from talking about keeping jobs in America, or the price of milk, to instead talking about self-perceived victimhood. No one is going to let some given minority have a monopoly on self-perceived grievance. So, everybody gets a participation trophy now. We all get to vent some type of frustration from personal grievance. We are all suffering from victimhood. We are in the middle of a "my grievance is more important than your grievance" war. Doesn't matter what "side" you are on. You get your entitled grievance. The most credible grievance is about the economic exploitation of the working class or the greatest wealth disparity in over 100 years. But no one wants to talk about that anymore. Especially the talking heads that we tune into on a nightly basis. Now we collectively walk on eggshells wondering whose grievance we are going to accidently violate. Best to not say anything at all.

@@Wasted_Talent007 That's why identity politics and critical theory is post-structuralist throughout history. Often times when there's an awakening of class consciousness, a movement of identity politics is a reaction to it. It's why you see every major corporation and media outlet promoting transgender and movements like BLM. Capitalists are more than happy to welcome a diverse crowd of capitalists to equally fuck over the working class. They see it as a tool. The same Amazon that promotes gender identity and BLM is the same Amazon that shut down unionizing and has workers without bathroom breaks. You'd never see these companies promoting a worker's rights movement....not in a million fucking years. It says a lot. That's why, for example, a city in California is creating a UBI for transgender and non-binary people....mind you, California...one of the worst places in the US for homelessness (of course over 99% of them not being trans or non-binary). They can pretend that progress is happening by constantly placating to this tiny fraction of people, instead of by need, which requires a lot more resources and actual work and change.

That was the magic of standup, to short circuit the narratives in our heads and reveal our common humanity through tempered irreverence. And sometimes untempered irreverence, too. 😇

You were lied to! There is nothing hurtful in true comedy; true comedy at most shows up the blatant ridiculousness of everyday life. It wasn’t, IMO, until the Obama administration that leftist began hurling hurtful verbal assaults at people they didn’t like or wouldn’t step in line with their sick fantasies and calling it comedy that the real problems began. I remember a particular comic from the left who said, in a supposed commentary “The only thing Sarah Palin knows about special need babies, is how to stuff her tit in its mouth” a very vicious attack indeed. However being a leftist comic, leftist advocates were falling all over themselves telling a shocked world it was only a joke. Maybe their leftist followers bought that crape but I still don’t see the humor in what he said.

The TV shut down at midnight to the National Anthem and started up at 6am with Cat Stevens singing morning has broken (until cable came along).
