I can fully take ownership of my role in all my deplatformings. I didn’t have to be so provocative. I could have said the same things but in a way that didn’t create such an emotional reaction. Yes and no.

Then I wouldn’t be a comedian I’d be an activist. My job is not to get anyone to “do” anything. Imagine if after my timberland producing Beethoven joke people said “ok, now let’s take down the music industry.” Or after my soap opera music eyes bit someone said “ok let’s now take down women.” 

People have said I’m a contrarian. I’m not. What I’m saying is very obvious and relatively consistent. It’s how I say things. The words the context the timing. The role of the comedian is to momentarily break the word matrix ruling peoples lives and show them actual reality. It offers relief and a sense of comroderie. 

I just showed that there aren’t rules governing social media just feelings. I have been unfairly punished under their claimed standards for 7 straight years. That’s not a complaint it’s just a reality. Which reveals that the system is becoming pathological. It reveals that the Silicon Valley world of digital communication does not want people to see thru the manipulation. Because that’s what I do. And I’m very very good at it. 

I’m not an activist. I don’t have a movement. If I did I would “play ball” to influence as many people as I could to do whatever the thing is I wanted. My actual job is to not play ball. If I played ball I would no longer be a comedian and I would lose my entire craft. 

I can follow objective rules like “don’t say this word” or “no images of elephants” or any nonsense. No problem. But the whole “we will know the violation when we see it” will always be aimed at the guy revealing the scam. And that’s me.
