When The King Kills His Jester

To kill your jester is the moral equivalent of Pinnochio strangling Jimminy Cricket.

"If we can't be funny, then we're not free." THIS

"If you can't be funny, you're not free." Wow, yes

We look away from horror, but when a PUG salutes Hitler, you can look the horror in the face without experiencing the harm, and that's cathartic if you ask me. It's a way of taming the monster, by laughing in it's face.

3:03 In the book 1984 the the laws were laid out that no one could follow every law. You were guilty of something.

As fellow Dominion of Canada subject Mark Steyn said, in the UK everything is policed except crime

"Who defines hate?" "It's not a scientific category."

Can´t stop listening to Dr. Peterson and agree with him in almost everything he says. It has been like 6 years already.

For years, Dr. Peterson has given me a north star to chase. Thank you Mr. Rubin for sitting on his right side.

There is two things to 'People are scared of saying what they want in a free country' 1. Humans fear, in their heart of hearts, two things. Death, and public shame (I believe peterson actually quoted this at one point.) 2. I dont recall the exact king, or specifics, but it was around the 16th century. A king began to notice, as the population grew, they were less inclined to pay taxes. As the population grew, it became harder and harder to police the unpaid tax. It got to the point where, unless you scaled the military in line with population, you could never control the people. So they came up with a new way of Governing. The 'new way', was to turn the people against each other. Saying things like 'We use the tax money for YOU, so if someone doesn't pay, they are stealing from YOU (not the government). They created a police force out of the people. You dont need an army policing the people, when neighbors would happily dob on each other for free. We live in this 'new way' currently, and these days the 'policing' comes in the form of puiblic shame. So the reality is, our society will shame as a form of punishment, which leads directly into human fear, which prevents people from wanting to 'rub against the grain' so to speak.

Never forget George Orwell was british and quite prophetic.

I know a young man who was fired for holding a personal conversation. He was overheard by someone in another aisle who got butt-hurt and turned him in for it. Now he’s got Lockheed-Martin lined up against him. America is a lost cause, it’s just not stopped breathing yet.

My daughter was suspended from school for making a tik Tok where she burned a toy chicken and said it has no rights. Well because a charcoaled chicken becomes black, bam, it was now discrimination. Just ridiculous.

Comedians can be just as tenable as they want to be ,it should not be a crime.That is exactly right,when the king kills the jester you know that he is a tryant.

He makes his point in such a solid argument that it makes it kind of irrefutable

Long live the jester!

Laughter is good medicine. Comedy is necessary. Even sometimes dark comedy. When my spouse died, my daughter and I made a lot of “dead jokes“. Her sister was mortified, all pun intended. But the other end I chose to use the humor as a way to deal with the situation. Please let us laugh at ourselves.

He’s right about Pugs!

"...and were gonn'a deserve to pay for it too...." GOLD.
