Summary
Louis CK Has RETURNED, REFUSES To Apologize, Comedy Pushes Back On Woke Outrage And Cancel Culture. Louis CK was canceled a while ago when stories of impropriety emerged. Many people demanded that he apologize for his past behavior but to no avail.
Louis CK wasn't playing their game. But its not just him, recently Shane Gillis was hired then immediately fired from SNL when offensive jokes were uncovered by the woke twitterati far left. Shane isn't backing down either, refusing to apologize for pushing the boundary.
With Louis CK and Shane we now see more comedians refusing to bend the knee to the outrage mob. Though some have been hurt career wise and financially, in the end they have made it out alive and are now pushing back on the growing scourge that is woke far left cancel culture.
From Louis to Joe Rogan, Ricky Gervais, Bill Burr, Bill Maher, and Dave Chappelle, comedians know the point of a joke. Jokes help take the power away from problems, they help us see each other more equally (when done right)
We know that some jokes cross the line but in order to test the boundaries of what is acceptable comedians need to risk being offensive. Because of the extreme outrage from the woke left however everything is becoming offensive and no one knows what is or isn't acceptable anymore.
Its time to push back on the fake social justice outrage.

| 0:00.0 | Cancel culture is a scourge on our society. People getting angry at perceived slides |
| 0:05.7 | forming a tiny group of a small handful of people and then trying to destroy someone's career. |
| 0:10.5 | Unfortunately, it often works against smaller individuals, less well-known people. |
| 0:16.8 | In the instance of Louis CK, he actually cost him a lot of money as he says it $35 million |
| 0:23.2 | in a single day when people found out that he was doing something inappropriate. Now here's the thing. |
| 0:28.6 | Louis CK's story is a bit different. His story is more of a me too moment. But the news we have now. |
| 0:35.2 | Louis CK is back. He's making no apologies and he's as offensive as ever if not more offensive. |
| 0:44.0 | But in the actual... So I want to highlight this, Louis CK coming back talking about these issues, |
| 0:48.1 | but I also want to highlight this. Shane Gillis, the guy who was actually cancelled because they found |
| 0:54.1 | bad jokes he made a while ago. They said he was racist, he was bigoted, he's back. And he did a |
| 0:59.7 | stand-up as well and he basically... he's refusing to apologize. I think this phenomenon is really |
| 1:06.1 | interesting and you can look at the woke outrage over Bill Burr and Dave Chappelle, not understanding |
| 1:12.2 | society changing, but the reality is... Well, I should say this, there's a few points I want to nail |
| 1:17.4 | in this video first. Louis CK is back. Let's talk about that. That's great. I think the guy's funny. |
| 1:21.6 | We'll talk about his history. More importantly though, comedy is extremely, extremely powerful |
| 1:28.0 | and comedians are having none of it. Now Bill Marr, he's a political comedian, he's pushed back |
| 1:33.8 | relentlessly. But now we're seeing Shane Gillis recently cancelled fired from SNL, standing up and |
| 1:39.6 | saying no way. Louis CK was recently cancelled. He's back though, his story is more of a me too thing. |
| 1:44.6 | And we can see the political ramifications of the Dave Chappelle special. When Ben Carson uses Dave |
| 1:51.4 | Chappelle's joke to make a point about a trans issue, politics is downstream from culture, |
| 1:58.0 | which means if comedians can make fun of it, we can kind of break these things down and kind of |
| 2:04.4 | weaken these crazy people. There's something interesting I want to highlight too, in this story from |
