I think it’s the opposite, people struggling to get by don’t have the time or energy to worry about dumb stuff. Your life has to be pretty easy (or boring) to watch a TV show and take the time to protest it.
Very Funny!
You forgot Old and Useless.

I'm with you DMT re. blaming youth. It's (being unable to handle actual comedy with any edge) the fault of their nearly psychotic professors and helicopter parents. But at some point, the young too-easily-triggered youth are gonna have to own that sh*t. Bring back Andrew Dice Clay!

Today I did a bit of shopping with my wife and was amazed by the number of Christmas songs that were played everywhere.
We all know that everything related to Christmas is offensive to any non-Christian and as a result to any progressive liberal.
The first attack on Christmas almost succeeded in elimination of "Merry Christmas" greeting.
For a few years the only acceptable greeting was "Season greetings!".
However "Merry Christmas" survived and is slowly recovering.
Next obvious targets are Christmas songs and movies.
When do you believe progressives would launch an attack on them?

Baby it's cold outside---banned!
Wow, that's really cold! It's from a time in the past that doesn't reflect our current environment. Men don't want sex anymore? Now that's funny!
Past Environment (PE), Current Environment (CE).
PE, boy's play with plastic guns. CE, boy's kill millions of CGI.
PE, boys ask woman out. CE, virtual sex and internet porn are safer.
PE, you said hello to children. CE, child taught to fear people.
PE, you played doctor. CE, I'm reporting your pervert child.
PE, you used your imagination. CE, you use your smart phone.
PE, you asked people questions. CE, your invalidated for no smart phone.
PE, you looked at your environment. CE, look at your smartphone.
PE, you had historical context. CE, history is invalidated.
PE, you weren't being monitored . CE, you are being monitored.
HA HA!

Doug Stanhope is brilliant. Saw a guy have a seizure at his show once. His response was, "If I stopped my set everytime somebody had a medical emergency I would never get anything done." Everyone laughed. Except the guy convulsing and being dragged out by his armpits.
You saw that and thought it was funny?
I don't suppose you've ever had a convulsive seizure, so you don't know the sheer terror of it. As a person with epilepsy I can tell you that making a joke of it is on the same level as Trump's sick joke about the crippled man.
I love humor, my friends will tell you I'm a bit of a crack up myself. But there are lines. And although those lines are a voluntary thing, there is such a thing as discretion. For example it's cool to imitate and make fun of Trump for ridiculing a disabled person, but it wasn't cool of Trump to do it in the first place.

joking around is one of the best ways to determine if someone is friend or foe.

Homor is a litmus test of individual freedom of expression. Watch the list of exemptions, sensitivities, and prohibitions of humor grow and know that your liberty is eroding and being sanctioned.
We are being educated to march a certain way.
What is it called, when individual expression has become the chattel of opinion?
(Almost forgot, what else is new?)

However "Merry Christmas" survived and is slowly recovering.
A friend of mine who is Jewish has sometimes posted examples and memories from her life where "Christianity was assumed." I can't remember any off hand, but her point was usually how, as a kid of 4, 8, 10, whatever, it seemed "off" to be assumed to comply simply because "that's what everyone else is."
A philosophical exercise: This year,every time you get a "Merry Christmas," imagine they have said "Ramadan Mubarak" instead, or "May God bless you as you celebrate the Festival of Lights."
Sure, it's not the time of year for Ramadan, but Hanukah does begin tonight at sundown, if it's too great a stretch to imagine being wished well for a holiday you don't participate in at the wrong time of year.
Just go with it, and feel the feelings, if you can be honest with yourself. Listen to the questions you're hearing in your mind.
That's how it can be, for those who aren't Christian.

So - did you get an initial reaction just from reading the above? No need to reply - this is just for yourself.

And if so - What? Ya can't take a joke?

.

This fear of life as we know it being demolished because of "PC" is just that - fear. Fear of not being the top dog. Fear that we may, at some point, endure a smidgeon of the oppression out status has foisted upon others since 'Merica was founded.

I can’t imagine, in my wildest dreams, that ever remotely bothering me. It’s also hard for me to understand how it would bother anyone. I guess I just don’t understand being offended by someone who’s trying to be friendly.

Off the top of my head I'd say that when it comes to delivering brilliant and/or funny social commentary these comics are among the best:
George Carlin
Doug Stanhope
Bill Hicks
Jim Jefferies
Chris Rock

You're ignorant. Luckily there's a cure for that; however it would be up to you to seek out that help.
Islam is not a country; is it difficult for you to imagine an American being Muslim?

And, if you don't mind, stop with the vulgar harassment. It's much more telling of the type of person you are than saying anything about me.
