Not so long ago, it not so long ago, it was a feature of high school biology class that biological sex is biologically real. It is detectable at the dna level you are born with it. You dont get to choose it. Just like your eye: color height susceptibility to breast cancer or a million other things it is. Genetic genetics are real, maybe unfortunately, but it doesnt change the truth of it, but now thats hate speech in his new special Dave Chappelle. The comedian explains what happens when you challenge this lunatic new orthodoxy, canceled people that are more powerful than me. You cancel J Dot, K, Rowling, my God, J Dot, K, Rowling. Well, all the Harry Potter books by herself she sold so many books. The Bible worries about her laughter and they canceled her because she said in an interview. This is not exactly what she said, but essentially she said gender was a fact
and then the Trans Community got mad as bleep and started calling her a turf. I dont even know what the bleep that was, but I know that Trans will make up words to win arguments. Well, that is the truest thing ever thing. They make up words to win arguments. You see that in a lot of places and on about as radical conventional four years ago, no one would have noticed it. But now a number of Netflix employees have decided to protest the special they wanted pulled off the service. Then they harassed a man who came to support Chapelle and freedom of speech watch chanting its okay to laugh, but you are sparking hate conversation. Why are you breaking my sign? Why are you breaking my sign? Bleep hes got a weapon, so they break his sign. Then they accuse him. He
is left holding a stick, accuse him holding a weapon. So his speech is violence. Their violence is speech, see how that works. What is interesting is the number of people who really care about this issue enough to assault someone over. It is tiny, yet they have disproportionate power. Three hundred and fifty million people in the country. Maybe one thousand one hundred feel that way and they are running everything. Why is that? Seth Dillon may know that answer the Babylon become a one of the very few remaining satire sites on the entire internet. He joins us tonight. Seth. Thank you. So much for coming on the stuff is in your face every single day, you are the target of a lot of this. You have to wonder the people trying to destroy your business and your life. They are a tiny percentage of Americans arent. They they are, but they wield all the power. This is the funny thing. They really are a joke at this point, because they try to project themselves as being marginalized. These are the marginalized. These are the oppressed you cant make fun of them. The way that you can tell who
holds all the power in a society is by who you cant make fun of right. Thats right. These are the people you cant make fun of. It is clear they hold all the institutional power in our culture, and it is very interesting when you have comedians like Chapelle. You have to worry about now telling jokes you dont just ask yourself. Is this funny? You have to ask yourself: is this joke going to offend somebody who is more powerful than me but identifies as being marginalized, because I might lose my career? Your site manages to be consistently funny and I think probably most of our viewers get. You know Babylon B headlines texted to them at least once a day. Do you feel you are on the edge of getting your business taken away from you? I mean that is the goal right. There are ten different ways they are trying to attack comedy. One of them is not even intentional. They are making reality absurd that whole opening. You did with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and these videos, and how fake they are. It is impossible to satire is that these people are beyond parity.
They have turned reality into a parody of itself. Then there is an intentional way. They fact check jokes, try to rate temples, get them taken down for misinformation, then they accuse you of hate speech under the guise of satire or comedy like what theyre doing with Chapelle and saying his jokes are beyond the pale and hurt people, but really it is the joke police. It is the people who are saying. Oh his jokes hurt my feeling. Those are the people who deserve to be mocked more, not less, because it is silly to act like joke. Police like jokes are violence. You said it earlier. You know the speech is now violence and the violence is speech. Jokes are not violence, they dont hurt anybody. If we are all equal, we should all be able to joke about each other indiscriminately and not have this hierarchical structure where we have certain people who are off limits and we cant joke about them. If we are all equal boy, you got right to the heart of it there. Only in a country where we are all considered equals cannot happen, but we are not that.
