The PC and Perpetually Offended Brigade

[StoutAndAle]

How was the show? Saw him last year and he was class.

Solid set. 90 mins-ish. He was filming for a DVD/Streaming special. 

Had one or two heckles/shouts from the audience. One of which he worked beautifully into a call-back 10 minutes later in his actual act.

Back on topic. I don't think I've ever seen Russell Brand do stand-up. You have to wonder if he can recover from this an weaponise it, so to speak.

Louis CK is back filling arenas - I haven't watched any of his post-cancel shows. Not because of the incidents surrounding him, just that they're not on many streaming platforms.

Rogan and his cohorts in Austin are making a fine living out of being cancelled/on the edge of being cancelled.

Or not..?

BBC management was informed about the incident in 2019, but no formal action was taken.

Fair enough, didn't see that. I see Lorraine Kelly has come out with something he said about her too....15 years ago

Brand is a dick. We all know this and won't be especially surprised if he is guiltful or guiltless.

The Internet is being cleansed of dissent is what's the issue. Well it's not fully there but it's only about a year off before nobody can say anything against whatever is the narrative. Not just the Web either, it's the desire to demonitise somebody without due process and people agreeing because it's not them this time.

What will you do when your thoughts are the wrong ones? You will get your turn

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

The internet is not being cleansed of dissent. Musk openly welcomes, indeed exclusively encourages, what you would deem "dissenting" voices (generally speaking the voices of wealthy grifters selling snake oil in one form or another) on his platform. Brand's latest video (

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIQxQF6nFts) essentially constitutes a deceptive and self-interested advertisement for Rumble, so he and they and "dissent" in general will be fine on that front. YouTube hasn't, as Brand claims, "censored" him by demonetizing him; they demonetize videos left, right, and centre. And maybe that's a sign in itself that YouTube needs more competition. Well, they're getting it. Win-win, no?

The whole "in a year no one will be able to say anything against whatever the narrative is!" schtick is itself a narrative. A narrative shaped in the main by a host of grifters down the last few decades. Almost all of whom are still doing just fine out of their grift.

You'll be grand anyway saying everything the un wants to hear.

I see zelensky and trudeau have upset some Canadian Jews with the latest promo stunt on the zelensky world tour. I'm sure there's the usual three sides to the story but on the face of it, it looks like somebody somewhere really didn't think it all the way through

Upset Jews!!!!!!
Jesus, that's very unusual.
They're usually so thick skinned and hard to offend.

Tbh it's not the upsetting of Jews that's the funny part here, it's more that virtue signalling reached its logical conclusion in the Canadian parliament the other day when they gave a standing ovation to an actual member of the ss for fighting the Russians during wwii. Yep this is how stupid things have actually gotten.

Anyone see it? It's amazing

[son of the Morrigan]

I see it man.
When an ideology is built on a foundation of absurdity it can't but get more absurd with each course of blocks that's built upon it.
The result is an ideological wall so unstable that the only sane remedy is to sack the builders, demolish it, and rebuild on sounder footings. 

[Kunt 4 Life]

Did they forget the Russians were on our side back then? 

[astfgyl]

This is the inevitable result of putting flags in one's bio and placing virtue signalling over engaging the brain. As The Son has said up above, tear down the wall and sack the builders. Applauding an actual nazi because he's Ukrainian...

Good lord

Now I hope this will be a lesson to all the virtue fucks everywhere, but it won't.

But they are all absolute spastics and if anyone here is one of them,  well that's you as well

Cultural Appropriation is back out of fashion I see.

The Villiers School video? Some headcases getting Irish children to mouth such inane shit.

Have you not seen yet Trudeau has already sorted it out. He just came out and said it was the fault of Russian propaganda and disinformation.

I should've known but I had to learn.
