DD: Sellout Comics Make Weak Excuses For Playing Saudi Festival

Satisfying takedowns of some surprisingly pathetic individuals. Must have been painful to do after they'd been singing Bill Burr's praises as a radical anti-establishment working class rebel, so kudos for not holding back. I certainly won't be able to listen to him or others like Chappelle (not Carr, I already knew he was a wh0re for the empire) in future without being reminded of them doing this:
At the end they say it's similar to the stain on credibility for artists performing in israel. It reminded me of a counter-argument that Kurt Metzger made on J.Dore when discussing this, paraphrasing: "Well, you can't justify playing in america then, because we're just as murderous as these other countries":
Didn't seem quite right to me, if he's talking about comedians who are from the US - where else are they supposed to play if not where they live? It's different to being paid by a foreign state to come over and launder their image. Dore viewed it as more important that the comedian refuses to be told what to say and what not to say, and that if they tell you not to say something that's the first thing you say. Also, in the case of israel, Palestinians have specifically requested a cultural boycott. But if the point is about hypocrisy of ppl complaining about this one particular gig, then fair enough I guess...
Bill Burr and Chappelle have disappointed me so much doing this. Neither of them need the money especially Dave.
For the sake of (maybe) another million (maybe 1.5) they've trashed their legacy and I don't think they realised how this would go down with fans.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.

Good stuff from the Due Dissidence boys discussing these fucking awful scumbags...they still got a laugh out of me for the great piss taking though!"I won't dignify the attacker's words by repeating them, they are horrific and vile."
