It's just weird that things shook out historically so that the fool and the jester are the ones telling the truth. What the fuck is the rest of the court talking about? Vague, hushed words meant to save their ass I guess. Everyone knows comedians are right but laying that shit out in the wrong situation is rude and offensive.
Yep, exactly right. Comedians get away with it because people actually recognize the truth behind the thinly veiled jokes. People want to laugh and have a good time. What better way than a comedy show? The audience gets their fun and you the comedian get uninterrupted social commentary time. Politicians hate him!
"Is it real, or is it just a ride?" Some people take their lives way too seriously.
This is an excellent perspective of the situation. +badge
