And then for Kimmel to ignore the majority of people backing him as pro-Palestinian in his return. Ignorance of the situation is cowardice at this point.

Dave Smith had the best response to Jimmy's "comeback speech": "It sounded almost as if he was apologizing without actually apologizing. "I'm sorry that you took it that way and that you were offended. Of course, that's not what I meant cuz I'm the nice guy." As if you were the victim of hardcore authoritarianism or something like that. There was a dynamic throughout the reign of cancel culture that I think continues to this day, where there is almost this fundamental premise built into liberal progressivism that you're the good guy and the other side is the bad guys. A liberal would end up getting cancelled or threatened to be canceled, and they'd go, "Whoa, guys, I think we're going too far because like you've kind of got one of us now." People like us literally made our careers during the reign of tech censorship and cancel culture, so to hear these guys talk about it, if this isn't just what everyone constantly deals with, there is something I find to be in very poor taste about the whole thing. Classic liberal playing the victim and the nice guy."
