Hand grenades were invented for a reason.
Yes, but not for reason of having fun with it.
Rather, Social Justice demands that white men be mocked, and people find the mocking funny even if it isn’t, as a form of comeuppance.
Blackadder wasn’t about comeuppance. It arguably loved what it mocked.
That’s like a plague carrier fleeing to the safety of the countryside and being taken in because they’re a “refugee”.
They bring the doom they fled with them.
The declaration of “enlightened times” is purely narcissistic....nothing more than virtue signalling and intolerant of any other opinion. This is exactly the problem, people believing in their own superior judgement and that all others are beneath them. It’s what makes it easy to dismiss the value of people that don’t hold the same opinion. It’s the first step to behaving like a Nazi, with Nazi consequences.
Oh BS. Blackadder was great. We own the series and have watched it numerous times.
Here is a burka. Oh wait! This is a KKK night rider outfit! Oh well, no difference.
LOL!.
He must be colorblind!................
Too true. A progressive referring to itself as enlightened is comparable to a Watusi from the 1500’s claiming to be an astronaut. Stands a better chance of being true than a progressive claiming enlightenment.
Atkinson is on my list of all-time funniest people. He understands something. You are not free if humor is not free. Humor is frequently a license for truth. Maybe it isn’t always funny. Maybe it isn’t always true. But if you shackle the effort, then you shackle society.
