What is the disguised worldview behind the political satire of our popular comedians?
Watching an interview with Seth Rogan
and Liz Winstead, at Harvard University of all places, I asked myself
what is the disguised worldview behind the political satire of our
popular comedians? It is not merely funny directionless negativity.
There are several layers. Political
correctness has of course been loosely absorbed as their general
education, that is, being careful never to offend any group of people
in society who are believed to have a disadvantage. But beneath that
superficial level of political correctness they promote pure
hedonism, individual hedonism, group morality is attacked,
traditional Western and Christian morality is mainly attacked. Black
or Jewish culture is never or rarely satirized, it is
championed---indeed, this is their will to power, all other cultures
are attacked. Non-black and non-Jewish comedians, like Winstead,
always follow this lead, even though they are attacking their own cultures.
This pro-Hedonism, pro-Jewish,
pro-Black perspective is behind the political satire of the Daily
Show and the Seth Rogan slob movies, if you can call attacks designed
to fragment traditional Western culture a “worldview”---which is, as Andrei Navrozov called it, the
barbarization of Western culture.
I don't find that very funny.
