I’m not a huge fan of Ricky Gervais — but I enjoy what he does. It’s very interesting that both the left and right are incapable of receiving criticism. The extremes of both sides will take great pains to control language and issue decrees about how things should be. Both need to be challenged, Gervais challenges both and for that he should be applauded. A centre lefty opposed ideologically to the corporate right but not worried about calling out his own side either. In a world where shame and offence has been weaponised he’s pretty much the equivalent of bulletproof. Still not a huge fan — but likely he doesn’t give a shit (and nor should he). Great article. Very enjoyable.
