What Can We Learn From Dave Chappelle’s Special?

The same thing we learn every week in this culture war: there’s a market in pissing off the SJWs.

You’re not allowed to say this, not allowed to think that, it’s the state of 2019.

Some of Chappelle’s jokes were funny, some weren’t, some were shocking, some were standard takes on issues you’d hear anywhere, they’re all hit and miss as all comedy is — and of course there’s different humor for everyone.

But overall, the theme is being a punk rocker and sticking a middle finger to the cultural police that are telling you “you’re not allowed.”

It’s a fight I’ve been fighting for two years, and I keep doing what I’m not “allowed to do”, my career keeps being declared “over”, and amazingly, I keep doing better and better as this all goes along.

Chappelle and I have it somewhat easier than others in that regard, as he’s black and I’m Hispanic, which means we get to be protected classes to some degree in this culture war. It makes it easier for us to speak our minds without fear.

Though the truth is — the fear only exists because of the social pressure created by these gatekeepers in the first place.

The more of us speak out, the more of us say we don’t care, the more of us just speak our individual minds, the less the PC-Police can do anything. It’s our one job in this “cancel culture” to have to do in order for our culture to thrive and survive.

I’ll use the special to urge everyone: write the comedy that’s not allowed, write the books they say should be burned, create the music which they don’t want the public to hear.

You’ll win in the end, because society will win in the end.

I’ve been told over and over by different publishers, writers, artists, etc. that “indie superhero books don’t work”. That it’s a dead genre. That I shouldn’t waste my time. I should be writing something more literary. I have a dream of my own superhero universe anyway, one to compete with the big studios. And I’m doing it, and it’s succeeding. Check out Flying Sparks Volume 3 and help get this book that “shouldn’t exist” to the next level.
