"Cancel culture is an insanity that is swallowing up the world."

Note how he waits for applause, which is tepid, at best.

[Horace]

It’s mainstream leftist pop culture that “cancel culture sucks” is a dog whistle for alt right crazies. And of course Maher’s audience is mainstream leftist pop culture.

Ann Althouse:

A little while later, at 2:30, after another failure of the audience to enjoy his joke about how nobody seems to get jokes anymore, he bitches, "Where did we get this crowd?"

[Horace]

The audience got the joke, it’s just that it was at their tribe’s expense. So they didn’t laugh.

Remember the good old days, like in 2001, when Maher was cancelled because of his comments about the 9/11 hijackers?
