      A good example of something that sounds profound but is actually superficial and dumb. Louis CK is a comic. Most comics lampoon things in pop culture. Word-policing children is an irresistible pop culture item to many comics. But, cool man, you framed things in terms of powerhttps://twitter.com/AJentleson/status/1079809408765448193 …

      Louis CK is a good reminder that when people with power ask for respect it’s called “civility” and is sacred, but when people without power ask for respect it’s called “political correctness” and is the butt of jokes.

      Dude, the whole *point* of the sort of comedy routine Louis C. K. is trying to do is to speak truth to power. If you make fun of marginalized groups and the hardship of others, you're not a comic, you're just an asshole.

      The obvious difference between an asshole carpenter and an asshole comic is that an asshole carpenter doesn't use his hammer on school shooting survivors (at least I hope not).

      Also: what rights has Louis C. K. been deprived of? I must have missed the announcement that the government is throwing him in jail or stripping him of the franchise.

      Obviously, non-assholes have the right to speak their mind without being accused of being an asshole. Therefore, assholes should have that same right.

          Louis C. K. has and will continue to have the right to speak his mind. He doesn't have a right to be paid to do it — no one does.

          Nobody, asshole or not, has a right to speak their mind without being accused of being an asshole. We all have freedom to say what we want, but none of has has freedom from the consequences of that speech (nor from others interpreting our speech however they want).

          Well, yeah. I was just trying think of what "right" he's supposed to have lost for being an asshole, and that was the best I could come up with.

          The PC police are not ruining comedy. It is a challenging time to be making jokes. You either accept the challenge or retreat into a past that was easier for you. I hope that this kind of selfish, easy, decency-contrarianism soon becomes as hack as airline food and mother-in-laws

          Except for the fact that they're actually assholes? IF ya talk like an asshole, walk like an asshole, then you pretty much ARE an asshole.... Crying about being called one seems pretty ridiculous.
