Woke

"Comedy now seems the only force capable of making meaningful inroads against the unsmiling, dark armies of cancel culture and corporate-backed wokery." ~Damian Reilly in The Spectator

Well, that's certainly what Dave Chappelle would have us believe.  Thank God for the Brave and Noble comedians, fearlessly defending our free speech rights by telling rape jokes and denigrating homosexuals.

But for all the talk about "woke" and "cancel culture," it's hard to make the case that misogynists, racists, and homophobes have been denied a platform.  I seem to hear quite a bit from them, and their champion was president less than a year ago.

I think they're doing fine.  They aren't the ones that need protection.
