“Right now in America, they say that if you talk about Charlie Kirk, that you’ll get canceled,” the comedian Dave Chappelle quipped on Saturday at the Riyadh Comedy Festival, the first event of its kind in Saudi Arabia. “I don’t know if that’s true, but I’m gonna find out.”
It reminds me of the old reagan Soviet joke.
A Soviet and an american are having a conversation. The American is bragging about free speech, and says:
"our country is so free, I could go to the white house and yell ‘go to hell Ronald Reagan!’
And nothing would happen to me.
The Russian replies,
“Our speech is pretty free too, I guess, I also could go to the Kremlin, shout ‘Go to hell, Ronald Reagan!’ And nothing would happen to me, either.”
