In the 1500’s jesters could get away with a lot of insults that would get other members of court in trouble. But they were court jesters and were otherwise social pariahs. They were seen as pets. Flashforward to now with all these comedians wanting to insult others AND want the exclusive invites, premium acting jobs, and the luxuries of fame. You shouldnt be able to have both: infamy and respect. Do you want to critique society or be part of it? How can you critique the power elite if you are part of it? Joe Rogan and other comedians lament a time when they could get away with a lot. But society is in a new place and is fractured. And, how long will “too soon” jokes be funny? Since they’re no longer cutting edge, they lose value. Though they can still be funny given context. The off-putting insults of others misery are now part of a very real path to dystopia where the value of human life is diminished. Its not as funny all the time. Simply put: Rogan is now more Alex Jones than Bill Hicks. He’s sold out and has aligned with a power elite. Are you Lenny Bruce, willing to go to prison for free speech? Or, are you Greg Gutfeld, telling unfunny jokes and acting victimize when other people exercise their free speech to complain about you?
