Belgian listener trying to understand cancel culture uh you owe it to yourself
at some point
to go to Belgium oh you gotta go there and how seriously they take beer and
every beer
has its proper glass it is just a fucking art form um man if I ever go off the
wagon that's
the place to be um all right dear bold burr uh big fan of your work humility
energy well talk to the
cat person because they think I'm a fucking hothead and uh yada yada yada all
right I don't know I
don't know you I know you don't read this shit anyway all right I'm reading it
you know I'm going
to therapy now I'll take a compliment now I'm living in Belgium come here
someday I did Antwerp
one time Brussels and I saw Tommy Aldridge in the fucking uh lobby and I said
Tommy Aldridge
and I knew he was tired from the fucking road so he turned around like hey and
I just said
thanks for all the great music and I just walked away didn't ask for a picture
no autograph no
fucking nothing but I got to talk to him which was awesome Brussels is full of
anglophones
close to the folks you get to meet in Scandinavian countries who all speak
perfect English
somehow um let's not get crazy they don't they speak English I can understand
let's not get crazy welcome to Sweden um I must say I struggled to get the
whole canceled bullshit
going on in the U.S. I know we have it here too but as a sort of watered down
version of what you
guys have once again a great U.S. first to spread on the world thank you I know
sorry I do get the idea
I do get the snowball process of it well then there it is yeah it all starts
with a good idea
there's guys taking their dicks out at work they're fucking raping women and
they have no one to go to
and yeah that unless we should get rid of these guys and then it becomes a
moneymaker both uh with news
organizations and and these non-profits air quote that fucking start up and
then you know it's no
different than like when a hurricane happens then a bunch of people lose
everything everybody else wants
to help right so what do they do they fucking you know they uh start sending
money to these organizations
that pop up and inevitably you end up finding some of them are bogus and people
just keep the fucking
money and this this stuff this cancel culture me too shit unfortunately is no
different there's always
going to be opportunists and uh you're starting to see people use cancel
culture
now that they're educated on how the snowball works to try to just take
somebody out
who didn't even do anything they just don't like his politics and it is really
fucking amazing to watch
all of these people that are so-called progressives sit back and say nothing
and just let it happen
because they also don't like that person's politics it's pretty sickening um
anyway i do get the idea
says and i get the snowball process of it yet every time i try to dig a bit
into it seems so
disproportionate that i end up confused let me explain my confusion on the
recent dave chapelle thing
i see famous americans like joe rogan like bill maher sort of jumping on the
subject and trying to defend
their fellow comedian yet whenever i see the actual attack by which i mean the
first outrage take
and not the even lazier retweeters oh the retweeters are worse they just see
the accusation and then
they just write and i'm surprised why
you know actions have consequences you know big surprise and they don't know
they probably haven't
even watched the clip anyway i see some dude or chick with a rather low quality
media platform
mediocre audience which is what i meant by disproportionate yeah they're the
ones that get
it going i guess i don't know i try to ignore all of that shit he goes i'm not
trying to make you say
the obvious i know right these untalented wannabe famous douche dick riding the
easy train of lazy
outrage to get some publicity this seems very clear well you actually just
described most of media
um you know there's just a lot of stuff to look out there a lot of video games
to play a lot of shit to
stream every month there's people walking around going oh my god have you seen
squid games it's the
greatest show ever it's the greatest show since the greatest show a month ago
and everybody's got to
stream it and get caught up so i think news agencies um is that how you say it
news platforms
people getting in trouble gets clicks
so that's what it is and then when a person defending themselves
is you know somehow considered going against the narrative so then they don't
really cover that
so they just sort of become you know they get used to take people out it's
fucking gross
uh anyway what i don't get is what's the concrete basis of all this shit could
you define the stages
of cancellation for me the example you brought with norm mcdonald on his
multiple hilarious snl bits
on oj helped me a lot understanding his being kicked out of the show and also
made me discover the guy a lot
better thank you so much for this the guy is now sitting on the top on my top
comedian list that's awesome
alongside your ginger ass of course uh there's a big gap between the two of us
but thank you
hopefully your more than likely real experience with this can shed a light on
the subject and dude
come to brussels don't make me go to london these fuckers left the union they
don't deserve you
also out of religion and out of therapy uh good for you now it's time for zen
uh fellow buddhists
here won't push his practice any further than this line um i could get into
that buddhism i still need
a lot of therapy though you kind of got to work your shit out i can't just be
like well you know i'm
not going to worry about what i can't control zippity dude die zippity day i
dude i can't explain
cancel call i can't explain it to you um i can't tell you that i am a lefty and
i am uh
shocked at what people on the left are doing to other people with no trials or
no nothing and it
has just gone so fucking beyond so beyond you know the initial you know legit
dirtbags that they were
getting and now now what they do is they try to just you know dig up some sort
of fucking something
that can get you canceled they literally go out and try and find it um to get
rid of you because they
don't not not even because they want to stop whatever they're allegedly even
happened if they
even fucking happen they just don't like you and they're using you know what i
mean
it's just fucking weird they go i hope somebody got raped so i can get rid of
this person it's like
wait wait you shouldn't be hoping that the fuck like it's just it's gone kind
of bananas and i think
uh i don't think it's a lot of people that are doing it and i just i'm hoping
you know i feel like
there's just a bunch of people in the middle on the left and the right are just
sitting there
waiting for shit to settle down so they can poke their heads out again because
everybody's trying
to like not get in trouble and uh there's got to be a way for the middle the
rational people to be
like hey can everybody just fucking settle down here like what do we everybody
has a right to have an
opinion everybody can say you know you know can chime in just because they don't
agree with you
doesn't mean you now have to fucking try to end their ability to uh you know
earn a living
i mean does any of that sound crazy it's fucking it's fucking bananas uh
southern accents hey billy
the kid burr on the topic of southern accents and ignorance i came across this
pretty cool and
quick explanation of where the different accents and draws nothing else that's
just a period you mean
come from the women in the video explains how the american southern speakers
are the only ones left
who still sound like our ancestors all right is that a good thing you mean the
slave owners
i mean the people who exterminated uh indians uh she explains that the first
and second generations
from great britain spoke in more of a british accent but the kids of those
parents began to develop
an elongation in the way they talk well then they they didn't i mean we
initially came over here with
with the accents of whatever country we came from right
the only ones who sound like our ancestors i don't know about that
um the women and the woman in the video then shows the different accents from
the various southern states
it's very interesting and i thought you'd enjoy it all right i'll check that
out and i will i will
