Keywords: Comedy , Society & Culture

You and I have outlets to expose this. The average person doesn’t. They gotta keep their fuckin’ mouth shut, or else they’re gonna lose their job (and they’re told that, almost … um, …) — I think, you know, that’s what, you know, that’s why it’s sort of incumbent upon people like you and I to kind of step up, you know, I mean Jordan Peterson does it all the time, right?
