n his latest set, Ansari suggests that collective anger has overcorrected; now, rather than hold power to account, it targets the slightest and least consequential controversies. Why is everyone weighing in on this shit? Ansari asked of the Twitter users who flocked to debate whether an American teen-agers choice of prom dress constituted so-called cultural appropriation. Everyone weighs in on everything. They dont know anything. People dont wanna just say, I dont know.


The comedian positions self-righteous mass outrage as one pole in a political climate built on extremes. At least with the Trump people, he joked, I kinda know where they stand. On the other side, reacting to our current Administration, are zealous and performative leftists who cant seem to resist competing with one another in what Ansari calls Progressive Candy Crush.

Because he can speak out now without worrying about his life being ruined by liberals. Once you've been on the other side, you fear the lynch mob a little less.

There's literally nothing in it for a red blooded hetero male to align himself with the progressive left, #metoo movement, ect, because no matter what you've done in the past to prove how progressive you are, all it takes is one girl with a 3rd wave feminist blog post to negate all of that and try to ruin all the hard work you've done in your career.
