The timing of the episode seems to be in response to the controversy over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2021\/11\/13\/dave-chappelle-fundraiser-for-alma-mater-postponed-after-woke-students-complain-about-transgender-jokes\/\">Dave Chappelle<\/a>\u2018s latest Netflix special,&nbsp;<em>The Closer.&nbsp;<\/em>Maron has also cashed checks from Netflix as a supporting player in&nbsp;<em>GLOW.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Using very convoluted reasoning, Maron said that while he supports a comedian\u2019s right to joke about society, modern cancel culture is good because it eliminates hate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnti-progressive, anti-woke comedy\u2026 plays into this whole attitude that you can\u2019t say anything anymore,\u201d Maron explained to his listeners.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason I got into comedy was to be provocative, to be challenging\u2026 or just to f*cking start sh*t. That was the legacy I wanted,\u201d Maron admitted. \u201cMy heroes were people who said the dark stuff, the angry stuff. What made people uncomfortable.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He said he idolized outspoken comedians such as Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor, and George Carlin, who shocked audiences with dark, cutting humor in their day.<\/p>\n<p>However, Maron now claims that trying to emulate his idols stunted his career, and since he \u201cgrew the f*ck up,\u201d his act has improved.<\/p>\n<p>Still, despite his new paradigm, Maron claims that he doesn\u2019t disavow the off-color and rude jokes he made early in his career. For instance, he used to use the word \u201cretard\u201d in his act. But after being contacted by a woman who was offended by the word, he realized that it was hurtful and stopped using \u201cthe R-word.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was not defensible\u2026 what kind of world is it where you can\u2019t say [that word]? This world. So, I stopped,\u201d he insisted.<\/p>\n<p>However, he said this shortly after explicitly saying, \u201cI don\u2019t disown any of that stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Now he claims that being \u201canti-woke\u201d only \u201cdrives a wedge in the cultural dialogue and the comedy community.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Worse, as far as Maron is concerned, \u201cright-wing propagandists\u201d use free speech arguments as a political weapon, and if free speech can be quashed to stop the right from having a winning argument, then he is all for it.<\/p>\n<p>Free speech, Maron said, is \u201ceasily turned out by the right-wing propagandists. It serves a movement toward an anti-democratic, fascistic system. What they\u2019re doing is fundamentally pissing on the less fortunate, the vulnerable, the minorities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, without stating it head-on, Maron came to the side of those who destroy comedians for un-woke jokes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFree speech is an American right. You can say whatever you want. You just have to shoulder what comes back at you, what you reap after you\u2019ve slung your garbage,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, sure, you can say what you want, but you should lose your livelihood if Maron opposes what you say.<\/p>\n<p>Christian Toto notes that ctor and comedian Kevin Hart was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/entertainment\/2018\/12\/06\/kevin-hart-steps-down-as-oscars-host-amid-outcry-over-old-gay-jokes\/\" target=\" _blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fired<\/a> from his Oscar hosting gig because he made a non-woke joke ten years prior. By his own standard, Maron could still be hounded into the unemployment line for his many years of \u201cretard\u201d jokes that he says he won\u2019t disavow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s why he\u2019s a hypocrite, a comedian who won\u2019t defend free speech but thinks by hewing to far-Left dogma he\u2019ll be safe as his peers get canceled,\u201d Toto wrote.<\/p>\n<p><i>Follow Warner Todd Huston on Facebook at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston\">facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Comedian Marc Maron says he has grown to see cancel culture as a good thing, and those who want to express provocative ideas without losing their livelihoods are \u201cright-wing fascists.\u201d &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1021591","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021591","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1021591"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1021591\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1021591"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1021591"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1021591"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
