The protest culture is wearing thin. The outrage culture is getting old. The cancel culture is just wrong, and people are refusing to bow to it.
Arthur Schaper - American Thinker
"People don’t want flabby political commentary or a social science lecture about how they should feel about the state of the world and its politics and the wars and what they should do about it."
"Jerry Seinfeld has been dragged into the Arab-Israeli conflict. He’s been at war with the pro-Palestine progressive left ever since the October 7th atrocities, which gave antisemites the right to crawl out of the cracks and bash Israel and Jews, all while hiding behind: “It’s the IDF’s actions that we are protesting!”
"Of course, Islamic groups and progressive leftists have been hoisting Nazi flags and targeting synagogues and Jewish hospitals. And now they are coming for the comedians, at least the ones who won’t pick sides and promote the meaner ones so that they don’t get cancelled.
"Do the left-wing activists target Jerry Seinfeld because he’s Jewish? Of course.
"They also target him because people listen to him, and they want him to say what they want said:
" 'Palestine must be free. Free Palestine!”
"Comedians, to be successful, don’t tell people what they want to hear.
"They tell people what they themselves are thinking, and what others don’t want to say.
"Comedians are supposed to be the most anti-PC members of society. They push the boundaries; they rant and rave about the fact that everyone is ranting and raving.
"Comedians stand out because they stand up for, well, the right to say whatever they want about something." . . . More...
