Canceling Comedians While the World Burns

In 'Canceling Comedians While the World Burns', Ben Burgis critiques the contemporary left's approach to cancel culture, particularly in relation to comedians.

He argues that this focus on policing speech can be counterproductive to broader social change and alienates potential allies.

Drawing on Mark Fisher's work, Burgis suggests that the left should focus on material change rather than symbolic performances of virtue.
