Man I used to love stand up, but it got crippled by the woke plague imo. Something about how direct it is maybe, it’s just jokes with a setup, a subject, and a punchline, made it so easy to subvert. Or maybe it has to do with the “pipeline” of up and coming comics, idk. But in the last decade I can count on one hand the acts I’ve enjoyed. Basically Sam Hyde, Shane Gillis, and Theo Von to an extent.
Who do you like in the conspiracy world? I quite like Whittney Webb, Ron Unz, Suspicious0bservers, the Carlson/Hancock ancient history gang, and James Corbett though I haven’t seen much from him recently
I'm lucky that most of the standup I listen to is either pre-Trump or has a decent pre-Trump catalogue, with the rare one who manages to have avoided much beyond an offhand line.
But yeah between the absurd levels of nepotism in the industry, the sheer level of Jewish overrepresentation (meaning only one type of edgy is usually allowed), and the complete destruction of things like Covid on the industry, its basically going to be a long time before we start getting a large amount of good options coming out.
Also, conspiracy might have been the wrong word as its more like history that was conspiratorial in its time. So government plots, criminal coverups, and the like. So not quite the political conspiracy type and still more of the true crime ones.
