The NY Times hires Sarah Jeong while Roseanne Barr gets fired.

Sarah Jeong repeatedly made offensive and racist comments on her Twitter — unapologetically, while Roseanne triggered a national conniption fit.

And what the heck is LGBTQIAA2S+? We have initialed and labeled and divided people so much with this hyper-woke activism that civil rights activism has become a caricature. It’s like the whole world has gone full-blown Portlandia. And the whole crowd has gone so extreme that even disagreeing on economic theory gets you labeled an -ist.

JK Rowling was the target of cancellation after she expressed her opinion on sexuality. People literally can’t disagree anymore. Either toe the line, or get butchered by the Twitterari. JK Rowling isn’t even a conservative or even remotely right wing, but she is apparently not entitled to an opinion unless it’s perfectly in line. Ricky Gervais is another person that’s is constantly in hot water. He got tarred and feathered for daring to make a Bruce Jenner joke. Any disagreement or even harmless misstep results in outrage. Calm the f down people.

You literally can’t have a disagreement with anything “on the left” without facing the rapid wrath of the professionally offended. Even standup comics, where offending literally everyone is their job get “cancelled” because people can’t even laugh anymore. It must be a miserable life to be perpetually offended.

Interestingly, it’s ok and even encouraged to make fun of or spout hatred against “rednecks,” “hillbillies,” Christians, and in many circles, Jewish people. But make fun of a LGBTQIAA2S+ vegan Saudi woman and all hell will break lose.

It’s like Thought Police are real. Don’t like something being said? Then say your own thing. Or turn the damned channel. There is a reason many stand up comedians avoid college campuses these days; everyone is so delicate and offended that comedy is essentially a dead art.

I am not condoning “hate,” but “hate” has become a synonym with “disagree” or “doesn’t support.” If someone doesn’t like Obama, they are immediately a “racist,” but if someone doesn’t like Clarence Thomas, then suddenly it’s about “ideas” and not race. People that criticized Condi Rice weren’t called mysogynist, but criticize Hillary Clinton and you apparently “hate women.” Supporting Bret Kavanaugh makes you a woman hater, but supporting Bill Clinton gets a pass. And it’s because of politics, not any particular social enlightenment. It’s hypocrisy of the highest order. Biden should be cancelled after his recent claim that “Latinos are diverse, unlike the African-American community.” He really said that. Incredibly racist. Yet aside from some right wing ramblings, that comment has been ignored by the very people so readily looking to cancel people.

It’s a fact that the left is far more tolerated and protected while anyone who dares disagree is sent to the woodshed. As much as I detest Amy Schumer, I’m not calling for her to be banished, nor do I form noble sounding organizations dedicated to getting her “cancelled.” Organizations like Media Matters have made it their mission to cultivate outrage and attempt to sanitize any thoughts that might bruise their delicate sensibilities.

What a miserable time in which we live. When comics are fearful of playing a university, then you know we’ve done some serious shark jumping. Berkeley used to be a center of contrarian thought and free speech, but not it’s positively East German in their level of tolerance of dissenting opinions.
