No way Don Rickles, Joan Rivers, Johnny Carson, Red Foxx, or Rodney Dangerfield would make it today

We’d have to add an encyclopedia’s worth of volume to George Carlson’s Things You Can’t Say in America.

We call it cancel culture, they call it “inclusion”. If you’re not as diverse as them, or in any other way different from them, they censor and ban you in the interest of inclusion.

The really insidious part of this is that the ones doing the canceling are utterly irrelevant - a mob of Twitter trolls and media scum who the vast majority of this country say they don’t trust anyway. But as long as companies continue to get cowed by this crowd, cancel culture will have teeth. Time to let the emperor know that he has no clothes.

The really good seasons of Saturday Night Live wouldn’t survive cancel culture either.

Everything is the opposite of what it seems today.
The “woke” are anything but.
“Social” media really should be called “anti social” media.
