    this is the second time he’s changed his mind on this particular issue. After a certain point I wonder why we’re still listening to him

      I think he was trying to get a buzz for his stand-up by going anti-woke. Then those people didn’t show up for him because they are still laughing at Rob Schneider.

      After Jerry realized his mistake, he figured he would say he grew and learned to help any damage control. I don’t think people really care enough about him for this, but he is rich enough to have people tell him.

        What mistake would he need to be concerned about? Jerry has more money than he can spend. I seriously doubt his income is a motivating factor here but I could be wrong.

      Wait, you wonder why we’re still listening to Jerry Seinfeld about comedy?

      Like, I don’t agree with the guy and I don’t think everything he does is funny, but… I mean, I’m a contrarian nerd on the Internet and even I would think about that one twice.

      For what it’s worth, you can change your mind on things as often as you want. Hell, I’ll take older rich guys walking back their slow drift rightwards as many times as is necessary.

        I don’t trust it, they turn left and make a walking motion only to start moon walking. Lip service doesn’t mean shit until I see actual actions.

      To be fair, it’s a complicated topic. Some people see humour as a form of therapy or control over dark topics while others see it as a channel to project them. And both are true. Unfortunately many people lack the spark to discern the two and subsequently fall back on the behaviour they are familiar with; picking a side and setting up camp in it.
