Commissar SFLUFAN Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 Let's just face facts: 90%+ of white "liberals" and/or "progressives" suck. They're disingenuous, self-centered shits - this is why I've NEVER self-identified as a "liberal" or a "progressive". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I think figuring about 95% of all people are awful but it’s about 1% of that 95% that makes the other 94% so awful is the healthiest world view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I will say that “Cancel Culture” has probably jumped the shark. I’ve had several conversations with friends and family members recently who are all over it. I still say that it’s really about accountability for folks that don’t like to be held accountable, but they have managed to rebrand it into some kind of assault against free speech and folks have bought into it.

Before labeling it like that, you should ask cancel culture if it identifies as a shark. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, both of these. It seems to me that most of the time when people are bitching about "cancel culture", it's just that they're being held accountable for the shitty thing they said and they're not used to it. Though there are certainly exceptions where PC-ness has gone too far, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Chappelle responded, as recalled the next day by the students, “My friend, with all due respect, I don’t believe you could make one of the decisions I have to make on a given day.” o so hard to be Chappelle. Imagine getting handed a $20M+ check for a special and saying this to a child. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skillzdadirecta Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Part of Dave's deal with netflix is probably that they couldn't give him any notes. They wanted him that bad and it's the dream of any creative but especially a stand up comic. I think The Closer was the last part of that deal any way. Be interesting to so if they continue the relationship. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling too many here are reading this like it's a drama when it is a comedy. Him dunking on those students reminds me of the billy madison scene of adam sandler blasting kids in the face with dodge balls. If you read the whole article it even explains how dave told them all he had been joking, he loved them all, gave them all tickets to his show, gave them all thanksgiving dinner - and has provided lots of money to their school over the years for their education. Dave takes things to extremes to make points. That has always been his comedy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
