Hello and welcome to This Week in Social
Justice.
I'm Daisy Cousens and I'll be
discussing all the biggest and baddest
social justice fails of the past seven
days. This week we have why Louis C.K's
critics seem to think he's magically
become right-wing, the Women's March that
was canceled for being way too white and
depending on how long I feel like
talking about the first two topics we
may even have time for a bonus topic.
So let's get started. But while I have your
attention hit that subscribe button
pretty please it's super duper helps me
out when you do that.
All right here we go. comedian Louis C.K has once again been a
very naughty boy almost a year after his
epic hashtag metoo mea cupla he has
launched somewhat of a comeback tour.
Audio was leaked on December 30th of a
fresh new comedy set performed at a club in Levitan New York and boy did it get a
few knickers in a twist.
Hypersensitive Millennials and their
gender non-binary counterparts -- not to
mention what appears to be the Parkland
shooting survivors is no doubt sensitive
subject matter to form a comedy routine
about and he certainly has used some
closing lines that make you wince.
However it's really quite banal by
Louis C.K standards. Nevertheless it got quite the reaction on social media and also
from culturally progressive journalists.
Many insisted it was inappropriate to
punch down by poking fun at gender
non-binary people others were outraged
by his mocking of the Parkland shooting
survivors. The offense taken by many at
these jokes is entirely predictable
but also understandable louis C.K is
known for choosing delicate topics and
for hypersensitive comedy as a result.
Taking a stab at the radical gender crew
is poking a stick at one of the
progressive left or should I say
regressive left sacred cows and I think
anyone can understand why some people
would arc up at making fun of school
shooting survivors.
However the surprising and somewhat
concerning common denominator here is
that some commentators have decided to
label Louis C.K as right-wing as a
result. Writers at left-leaning
publications such as The Daily Beast,
Vulture, W Magazine and Out Magazine as
well as large numbers of the culturally-leftist Twitterati were gleefully tiring
him with a right-wing brush this is
regardless of the fact that Louis C.K
publicly supported Hillary Clinton. - I'm going to vote for Hillary because I think she's great it's
not a like a lesser of two evils. I think
she's great. - Has compared Donald Trump to
Adolf Hitler and called him a lying sack
of s h i t. - You did email your fans last
year and you said that Donald Trump
was insane bigoted and Hitler.
- And has been beloved by the cultural left
for decades.
so how has Louis C.K a seemingly avowed
American leftist suddenly and magically
crossed the political floor? Well it's
quite simple really
in the pea-brains of the SJW regressive
leftist media and twitter hordes -- anyone
who puts even half a toe across the
party line is punished. That's the nature
of leftism one ideological strike and
you are out. But why automatically lump Louis C.K in
with the political right when he clearly
does not have the same concerns or
beliefs? I mean sure the right tends to
be critical of the radical gender lobby
and in the USA they do support the
Second Amendment. But surely those two
little jokes don't mean that Louis C.K
loses his lefty card. See the reason the
regressive left is slapping the
right-wing label on Louis is because
they no longer use that term to refer to
a political ideology. To them
calling someone right-wing is intended
as an attack on their morality. In the
Millennial, culturally left-wing sphere
being right wing is now synonymous with
being wrong or immoral or evil. The term
is used as an ad hominem coward punch
not as a descriptor for somewhere
who believes in economic freedom and the
significance of tradition. Therefore
rather than Louis C.K simply copping the
usual and off justified public chagrin
over an offensive but pointed joke -- he is
being branded as evil simply for
carrying out the duty that comedians have
the burden of bearing. Pointing out
societal wrongs that no one else will
address. That is how totally deluded
hysterical and aggressive the regressive
left has become. They are now so
emotionally attached to their beliefs
that they believe anyone who steps out
of line is not only wrong but evil and
deserving of punishment. So you get all
these educated and self-confessedly
enlightened individuals working at these
publications, knowingly spreading
misinformation simply because they are
determined to maintain cultural
dominance. That is why anyone with half a brain cell loathes the progressive media
they are so transparent in their agenda.
But as the saying goes the right thinks
the left are naive but the left thinks
the right are evil. Big difference. If you
want to attack Louis C.K's morality
attack him for his sexual misconduct but
as for his poking a hole in your
favorite cultural fabric -- sorry that's
not evil that's just a comedian at work.
Big enormous social justice fail on this issue
It's January 2019 which means we are
getting close to the two-year
anniversary of the one-and-only Women's
March. So of course all the different
chapters are planning their annual
events. Now it's no secret that the
Women's March has had a few problems
recently -- namely the rampant
anti-semitism from people like Palestine
enthusiasts Linda Sarsour and Nation of
Islam aficionado Tamika Mallory. However this particular problem is slightly
different -- yet somewhat related. A Women's
March planned for January 19th in
Humboldt County California has been
cancelled because the organizers feared
that the committed participants were too
white. According to a Facebook statement
from the group -- the local organizers are
continuing to meet and discuss how to
broaden representation in the organizing
committee to create an event that
represents and supports people who live
here in Humboldt. Up to this point the
participants have been overwhelmingly
white, lacking representation from
several perspectives in our community.
Instead of pushing forward with crucial
voices absent, the organizing team will
take time for more outreach -- I mean you'd
wonder how these regressive leftists
could hate themselves so much and have
such profound white guilt that they
would cancel an event that people have
put aside time for -- simply because there
are too many white people involved. It is
unbelievable. But the thing is and as
people have pointed out according to
Census Bureau data from July -- Humboldt
County is about 74%
non-Hispanic white. So if the organizers
were looking to create an event that
represents the people that live in the
county as they've stated well it appears
they have succeeded. The other thing to
note here is that maybe this white-bread
Women's March hints at an uncomfortable
truth about the so-called progressive
left. While they tout themselves as the
great proponents of racial diversity and
say they're giving a voice to the poor
and the disenfranchised -- not to mention
that their views definitely represent
the majority of the USA -- a recent study
by academics from the group More in Common has revealed that progressives
only make up about 8% of the US
population and are overwhelmingly white
and rich. So really it was futile of
these organizers to cancel their event.
Because if they're looking to gather
more participants from racial minority
backgrounds -- well the numbers on all
sides say that they'll probably fail to
do so. Great big fat social justice fail
on this one. Bonus topic! We have a bonus
topic this week. Some interesting footage
circulated on Twitter last week. It was
what you'd call a kerfuffle over the
accidental misgendering of someone who
dare I say it looked very very much like
a man. - Excuse me it's ma'am. It is
ma'am. - I can call the police if you'd like me to you need to settle down. - You need to settle down and mind your business.
Okay -- ma'am once again ma'am. - I said
both of you - No you said sir. Once
again it's ma'am.  I need your corporate number because we're going to talk call them
and talk about how I've been misgendered several times in the store.
I need your corporate number now. - Look I don't really have much to say about this
one I mean what can you possibly say
about it except perhaps props to the
shopkeeper for keeping his cool. Now
there are people who are defending this
person and saying that those who are
making fun of her are punching down and
making fun of mental illness. Now
according to the regressive left being
trans or gender non-binary is absolutely
not a mental illness so I don't know
what mental illness they're talking
about unless of course being a jerk is a
mental illness. And secondly if you are
going to behave like this -- destroy
property, threaten someone with
violence, etc. Then I don't care if you
identify as a pot plant you deserve to
be made fun of. Not for your identity but
for your bad behavior.
So massive social justice fail on
this one right here. If you like that
