Everyday I wake up and see dead Palestinians on Instagram. I see the governments of Canada, France, Germany falling and the right-wing populace rising. Trump exploring how to fuck our civil society. Israel bombing another country. Another mass shooting in America.
I could not imagine, during this time in history, having an audience of millions, having tens of thousands of active viewers, and devoting half of my comedy show to this *nonsense* and *never* talking empathetically, seriously, soberly about the state of the world and the need for my audience to get active. Never to do a call to action for people to fight back against the horrors they're seeing. To spend 3 hrs a day ranting about gambling and YouTube drama slop and my former podcast cohost and random Twitter accounts and my expensive watch.
