In today’s society, the aberrant are celebrated, and the sane and normal are reviled. Just for sport and entertainment.
You can tell a lot about a society by the things they titter at, that nervous laughter about things either uncomfortable or taboo.
Back in the 70s and 80s all a “comic” needed to strike out as a professional was a foul mouth and a sense of timing and he could get all sorts of that nervous laughter. Nowadays you could put together a career like that mocking Christians and Jews who actually recognize God’s moral standards.
Derp!
An editing issue in that post: “strike out” was in the first edit to indicate starting a successful career to “strike out into” ... but in the words survived the edit! Oops....
