The modern left cannot function without the Three E’s: euphemism, equivocation and false equivalence.
During a recent New York Times podcast, rising comedian and a member of the “Tires” cast on Netflix, Stavros Halkias said, “I don’t wanna do the both sides bullshit because it’s just not true. One side is worse than the other, objectively speaking. One side is disappearing people and one side wants children to have healthcare, I don’t think that’s equivalent. A lot of stand-up comics happened to have some of the dumbest opinions on Earth.”
That last part was probably referring to one of his bosses over at Tires, Shane Gillis, along with dozens of other popular comics, including Rogan, Chappelle, even Bill Maher.
Do you think Stav will suffer any consequences for that statement? Assassinated in the street? Fired? Shamed? Probably not.
His statement went viral in part because Kamala Harris’s team clipped it and posted it to their main account. Setting aside that Kamala Harris boosting you as a comic should get you immediately sent to comedy jail, there’s a reason Harris found the statement useful.
