Comedians and courage

Posted byMr NobodyPosted inUncategorizedTags:

The way that formerly brave and controversial comedians and artists are caving in to the moral majority of the new left just goes to show that they weren’t really that brave after all, someone just needed to invent a type of social censure they were afraid of.

It’s easy to be provacative when you don’t really care about the opinions or values of the people you’re criticizing. It’s much harder to criticize or stand up to something youre actually invested in and care about. Then you suddenly become quite conservative and conformist.

An unusually iberal conservative, or an unusually conservative liberal. An Anglicized American, or possibly an Americanized Englishman. A bit of the city, a bit of country living. An emotional scientist. A systematic poet. Trying to stand up over the abyss of a divided mind.
