Ben Burgis wrote a review of Dave Chappelle's standup special the closer: https://medium.com/@benburgis/a-long-and-annoyingly-nuanced-take-on-dave-chappelles-new-special-5710009c0ee0?postPublishedType=repub He and "This is Revolution" co-hosts Jason Myles and Pascal Robert are doing and impromptu stream about the special. Episode description from "This is Revolution": In his recent Netflix special, "The Closer," Dave Chappelle opened a firestorm of controversy due to his attacks on cancel culture and the identity politics of modern America. Does Chappelle's comedy special cross the boundaries of acceptable discourse? Should such boundaries even exist? Has the political culture been poisoned with an intolerance that stifles creative freedom, or are various groups trying to protect themselves from the harms of an intolerant nation?
