FIXED!
Socialists are the most humorless bunch of drones on the planet. They don't have any fun, so YOU'D better not, either!
You can be a successful comedian on college campuses. You just have to know what to say in your act. Call Donald Trump evil, call his daughter a c__t, call his son autistic, show a movie of Trump being assassinated, call for Trump to be dragged out of the White House in handcuffs, make fun of Melania’s accent. You’ll have the kids laughing til they cry.
It’s usually the staff and faculty.
When I was in college in the early 80’s, we had no “booker” for entertainment. We had a student group do all the work. I was part of it and had a lot of fun.
I even booked a well known Christian comedian on my own, without the involvement of the college.
The student activities director was involved, but the students did most of the work.
Probably learned more real world from that than several classes.
It’s an interesting evolution in comedy.
Modern comedy has focused heavily on Irony. Seinfeld was a very good example of this. The entire “That’s a shame” meme — it means “I don’t think that’s a shame at all”. The blatant use of insincerity can be quite comedic.
Today, if you are in front of an audience and make a comment about some generic human being who fits certain descriptive parameters, someone will stand up and say, “I feel targeted. I am offended. You are attacking me because I am a member of that group. How dare you??”
The whole notion of “I don’t actually mean any of the things I’m saying, but I think they are amusing things to say” is completely out the window.
Think of Don Rickles — he wasn’t actually insulting anyone. Not really. He was just saying funny stuff while looking at somebody. There is a subtle difference there which appears to escape all PC people.
“growing rift between colleges, comedians”
Oh my God! Can we survive this?
Free speech no longer exists.
These college students are being trained to be guards at political correctness concentration camps—that will be the only place that will hire them.
So what?! What I'd like to read about is the growing rift between gypsy fortunetellers and pipefitters... between pastry chefs and registered nurses... between tobacconists and zookeepers.

‘sensitive’ if only a word for ‘intolerant’
hypocrisy is mostly what is taught these days in leftist run schools
America needs to remove these detrimental leftist apparatchiks from our ENTIRE education system.
