Some pretty uncivil shit right there and yet the Centrists who still can’t make up their mind on who they should (or will) vote for, wag fingers of tsk tsk at us Lefties whenever we don’t respect these assholes. Whenever I go to a stand-up show, do I boo or get nasty if the comedian makes a dig at Atheism? No. How about deep-dish pizza, something Jon Stewart had a tirade over? No, I continued to watch his tenure of The Daily Show. Now when James Adomian does an accurate impression of Bernie Sanders which shows the grumpy senator in an unflattering (yet funny) light? Certainly not. We have to laugh at ourselves or else we get crazy/too serious. The types who can’t handle it? Tyrants. Bullies. Psychos. Why? Being ridiculed hurts their fragile egos and they go coo coo bananas wanting it to stop. Their followers share this problem but what’s upsetting them is it makes them question their decisions to follow such horrible leaders. I’m with writer Dave Anthony who once said, if Al Franken weren’t drummed out of the US Senate by shitbirds Schumer, Gilliband and their screaming NeoLiberal flunkies, he would have been a more effective counterpuncher to Girth Vader during the term.
It’s not isolated to just politicians Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos lose their shit when they’re mocked. The former’s rebuttals to his critics are equally pathetic. They remind me of the responses bullies gave me when I pointed out their low IQs…oh yeah! Just shut up or I’ll kill you…you fag! It’s how people spoke in the Seventies and Eighties, so Mills/Gen Z, get over yourselves.
Lastly, I paid to see the person on the stage (or screen). I didn’t come to see the hecklers or wannabes, the latter is a huge problem in Austin with stand-up and concerts. I’m looking at you, that rude asshole at Weird Al who kept shouting, “Do Party in the CIA!” Give the entertainer their time and your respect. You don’t like what they’re saying. Quietly leave, preferably when they’re finished. Don’t make a scene since doing something so childish. This is what feeds a comedians love of attention! When you get home, also take a long look at yourself and your mindset. Comedy, especially the best kinds, is supposed to be thought provoking and pushing boundaries of taste, norms, etc. Then punch yourself in the face if you ever believed there’s been a genuinely funny, Far Right comedian, especially to anyone with an IQ over 90. The IQ factor helps debunk any responses encompassing never funny and convicted felon (drugs) Tim Allen.
Amen!
