When Mandel suggests he’s giving comics an excessive amount of credit score, Maron melts down extra. He additionally denies that free speech took successful through the woke period.
“‘We’re being censored.’ No, you’re not,” he argues to Mandel. “There’s no constitutional censorship problem along with your free speech. You say issues, there’s cultural pushback. I’m not saying it wasn’t fairly unhealthy by way of individuals getting canceled and stuff, and I agree that was a difficulty, however that’s a selected problem. To border it as some form of free speech downside was a misdirect … it was that individuals have been getting cultural pushback … nobody was being put in jail for saying something.”
Truly, inform that to German and British residents who’re dealing with jail time for sharing the “mistaken” views on social media.

Hello @marcmaron,
I’m not a comic however reasonably was a feminist and unbiased author and journalist who was banned from Twitter completely (pre-Elon, so for 4 years, from 2018-2022) for saying that males aren’t ladies. That’s not “cultural pushback,” that’s censorship.

Murphy shared how she was banned from the previous model of Twitter for “saying males aren’t ladies” a number of years in the past. That’s not “cultural pushback,” that’s censorship, she argued.
Social media is the digital city corridor within the twenty first century. And the Left desires to censor as a lot speech as attainable.
Murphy backs up that sentiment.
You don’t have any concept how tough it was to criticize trans ideology or just to SPEAK about ladies’s sex-based rights, for YEARS. I do. As a result of I attempted and was banned, censored, protested, threatened, and vilified for doing so. The few people who caught up for me, defended me, and platformed me embody a comic named Joe Rogan, who you appear not to have the ability to disguise your seething jealousy of…
That is a part of the rationale he’s so properly revered. As a result of he’s keen to have conversations others gained’t.
She’s not alone, after all. Conservatives have been banned on Large Tech platforms Left and Proper. Comedians noticed their materials deleted, too, even when the jokes in query didn’t stray away from the platform’s tips.
They focused the “mistaken” concepts.
Disagreed with COVID-19 protocols? Censored! Suppose the Hunter Biden laptop computer revelations have been true? Censored.
Maron didn’t care about any of that. Now, when he cries “fascist” as simply as Dom Toretto drops the phrase, “household,” it means nothing.
