Hurry up to watch American comedian Dave Chappelle's latest show on Netflix titled The dreamer.
I haven't laughed so much in a long time.
He is no stranger to controversy, making fun of gays, transgender people, disabled people, all minorities, everyone.
Goals
When he singles out minorities, we understand, if we have even a little sensitivity, that his real targets are the oversensitivity, the over-susceptibility, the unbearable moral complacency of all those stuffy people for whom it is terrible to make even the slightest joke about it .
Chappelle's real targets are the little priests of wokism who are outraged by nothing.
“I love to beat down,” says Chappelle, himself African-American, who refuses to play the victim.
It's his way of responding to everyone who says that a comedian should only target those above him, i.e. those in power.
A great comedian is someone who takes risks.
See us. What are the risks of criticizing Legault, Drainville, Trudeau? None.
Will they unleash their pack on you via social media, take you to court, physically threaten you and try to ruin your career? NO.
Why do you think the bye-bye texts are reviewed by lawyers?
To avoid all of this.
They know that the problems would come not from the governments of Quebec and Canada, accustomed to criticism, but from the highly sensitive lobbies that can poison your existence.
That's why Bye Bye has become so boring. Because he is wise, prudent, conformist and risk-free.
Where are our comedians who dare to take real risks?
Please don't tell me about Sugar Sammy. Their preferred target is the French-speaking people of Quebec, the most accommodating, “good-natured,” and least evil group on the planet.
So accommodating that many are happy to be laughed at in order to console themselves with the idea that they are admirably open-minded.
Netflix knew that airing Chappelle's Show would draw criticism.
The Economist reports that Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos warned employees:
“There will be things that you may think are hurtful. But we try to provide entertainment in a world where different tastes, different sensibilities and different values coexist.”
It's not the cowards who run Radio-Canada – who go to bed after a single complaint – who would dare say that and get up.
For all the diversity that Radio-Canada idolizes, diversity of opinion is missing.
Security
Apparently the United States is big enough to accept anything.
Quebec is a small society. Therefore, there is less room for rejecting ideological conformism.
At the end of his show, Chappelle says, “You can get drunk on this feeling of always being right.”
Our entire era is contained in this sentence.
