Jerry, kids aren’t laughing at you because you’re still doing the same style of comedy you did in the 90s and they don’t think it’s funny.
And I say that as someone who does think he’s funny.
Edit: I did standup in the 90s too (obviously nowhere near his level). There are many reasons why I don’t do it anymore, but realizing that what I was doing was getting out of date was definitely a factor. Get out when you can and people might still think of you fondly.
I watched a woman do stand up recently who looked to be in her late 30s/early 40s. All of it was unironically about those stupid millennial kids and how they’re running comedy because they “are woke”. Seriously.
The material is 20 years out of date and she’s a member of that group (or damn close). I think she stole the act from someone 20 years ago who thought a movie like Tropic Thunder would never get made.
I agree with this take. RWNJs and reactionaries are still human beings and all human beings deserve to be cared about, even if they have low levels of empathy towards others. However, I don’t think that they are entitled to our time or acceptance of their shit takes. The “kumbaya” shit isn’t going to work with bad faith actors, so, ostracize away to protect those that they would harm.
Oh I am also in the “here” in your statement. They deserve to be loved and cared about but they can fuck right off. After spending multiple decades under the mistaken assumption that right-wingers were acting in good faith and coming from a place of ignorance, I saw the mask drop with 2016 and realized that a good portion of them are purely malicious and knowingly desire to subjugate others. I’ve got no time to waste on em.

No one asked, and no one cares about you.
I’m sure someone does, just not here.

Please don’t mistake me, I am very much a part of the ‘here’ in my statement.
My point was actually much more pessimistic, it was by no means kumbaya.

I dunno, I disagreed with him and and other “commies” and I’m still around. Maybe it’s something else you are doing.
