It's interesting how quiet the "we can't be funny anymore because of wOke" comedians are at the moment...

[themaguffin]

not to mention as I often say, the "don't tread on me" crowd, the small government folks... and supposed free speech conservatives...

crickets.

1. Fuck Charlie Kirk

Fuck Charlie Kirk, glad he can’t spread his right wing bullshit anymore

[Johnny2X2X]

2. Marc Maron has spoken out

I am sure there are others.

Everyone is kind of stunned and starting to realize we have lost our Democracy for real.

3. But he's never said he can't be funny because if woke as far as I know

[mopinko]

10. he's trashed those that say that shit.

[Iris]

13. That's been what I've heard from him. I'm a big fan

[Iris]

4. I had the same thought when I went to bed last night

[Clouds Passing]

5. Several of my neighbors have taken down their gadsen flags lately. Cowards much?

6. You mean the punch down jock type "comedians",

Or the whiney 80's/90's/early 2000's edge-lord or blue comedians past their relevant "meme" date that can't find a job touring or in Hollywood 10 to 20 years past their prime?
On edit - those are the only comedians I can think of who complain about "W0ke ruined my career"...

8. Seinfeld is one of the ones

[haele]

9. Ya. His stand-up tended to be young gen-x middle class life or blue.

His political and "blue" humor was more petulant and mean than culturally insightful dealing with Gen-X (and Boomer) goofballs.
Now that Gen-X is in their 50's and not so excessively individualistic, a lot of his prior relatable humor is past its meme date, so he's stuck with his political and blue humor, and those topics just make him look out of touch.
He doesn't do growing older or lovable curmudgeon very well...

[Johonny]

7. We went from, we can say the B word in thr boardroom

Again, to we can't post ir say anything the government might see as remotely critical to them or their friends... rather quickly.
