Lenny Bruce was arrested for his stand up. Chappelle has earned millions and contends with ineffectual calls for cancellation on Twitter. Chappelle is no Lenny Bruce.

I was comparing Chappelle spending an hour-long special complaining about trans people trying to cancel him to Bruce reading the court transcripts of his trial.

I mean, I guess he was pretty cute when he was younger.

Let's team-fuck this guy, John. Do you want mouth or ass?

Also, this guy.

Great comedy is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable.

>>>Great comedy is supposed to make you feel uncomfortable.

Bad comedy does the same thing.

Nah "terf" is in no way analogous to "nazi", especially since the word "terf" means basically anything now. Terfs are not a hate group or even any kind of organized group at all. It's just a label that gets stuck on anybody that doesn't fully adopt a specific kind of extreme idpol without question.

I love the controversy over "The Closer" because right in the beginning Chappelle makes the most brilliant point about how the media treats Black men's lives as worthless, and it just got skipped over entirely in the uproar about the trans shit, which completely proved his point. It just got completely ignored.

"In our country, you can shoot and kill a n***a, but you better not hurt a gay person’s feelings"

Yes, TERFs are exactly like Nazis. Have you seen the TERF concentration camps?

TERFs just recently took over Poland and are moving ever closer to the Russian empire, although they may not be prepared to face the coming winter.

You know, when something is analogous to something else, it's always understood that they're different things. It's the nature of

It's true that TERFs have never invaded Poland. If anything I said seemed to imply that TERFs have invaded Poland, I apologize. However, I'd like to point out that none of the Nazis at Charlottesville had ever invaded Poland, either, and most historians believe that, before the Nazis of Germany invaded Poland, there was a period of time when they hadn't done that yet.

If you watch the first episode of Ken Burns new series on the holocaust, you really have to wonder if they're to build an analogy between the rise of National Socialism and the rise of Trumpism. When you compare Trumpism to Hitler's nazis BEFORE the war, there's a whole lot going on there. Really, it might be worth talking about. The difference between german nazis and many other hate groups is that, for a while, the nazis had all the power.

Crackersmack, here's another example of how WORDS MEAN THINGS. TERFs stands for Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminist. It applies to radical feminists who are trans Exclusionary, a thing which exists. It's not an official designation, like many other words that mean things.

Why does it get applied to people who are not radical feminists all the time though?

It could be that, or maybe they have fuck all to do with Nazis. You know you can disagree with people without calling them Nazis right?

Why, yes! Yes, I CAN disagree with someone without calling them Nazis. I didn't actually call anyone a Nazi.

Again, do you guys not know how an analogy works? Yeah, there is a vast difference between seeking to destroy a minority by denying them healthcare and minority status, and and damn near actually murdering them. And they didn't invade Poland.

The analogy didn't directly involve TERFs at all. The point of comparison was Trump's refusal to disavow the white supremacists at Charlottesville, and Chapelle's endorsement of TERFs.

Jesus, Waugh, take pitty on those of us who are trying to navigate this site on our phones.

He murdered the most vocal critics of his earlier specials by predicting exactly how they would react to The Closer without even seeing it, and he built-in an acknowledgment of that hypocrisy and racism right into the first few minutes of the hour. And he was proven 100% correct.

It was a work of subversive genius.

That made me cringe with my whole body, so I know that it must be great comedy.
