Sarah Silverman Wakes Up

[GURPS]

Silverman then turned to “cancel culture,” and how it emboldens hate groups, saying, “In this cancel culture, and we all know what I’m talking about—whether you think there is one or there isn’t one or where you stand on it, and there’s a lot of gray matter there—but without a path to redemption, when you take someone, you found a tweet they wrote seven years ago or a thing that they said and you expose it and you say, ‘This person should be no more. Banish them forever.’ They’re going to find some place where they are accepted. And it’s not going to be with progressives, which ironically means ‘to be changed; progress.'”

“If we don’t give these people a path to redemption, then they’re going to go where they are accepted, which is the motherf***ing dark side,” Silverman concluded. “I think there should be some kind of path—do we want people to be changed? Or do we want them to stay the same, to freeze in a moment we found on the internet from 12 years ago? And so we can point to ourselves as right and them as wrong.”

“It’s righteousness porn,” Silverman added.

Silverman was herself the subject of cancel culture last year when footage re-emerged from 2007 in which she wore blackface.

Sarah Silverman Rips Democrat Party: Nothing ‘Progressive’ About It, Don’t Want To Be Associated With Any Party

“It’s the absolutist-ness of the party I am in that is such a turnoff to me,” the Democrat ally said. “It’s so f***ing elitist. You know, for something called ‘progressive’, it allows for zero progress.”

“It’s all or nothing, no ‘steps toward’,” Silverman continued, zeroing-in on the Left’s appetite for “canceling” the impure or “offensive.” “All or f***ing nothing. Again, righteousness porn.”
