During the happy days of Uncle Joe Stalin, one had to be careful just how to be happy. Telling the wrong sort of joke, a joke that suggested Stalin and his genocidal Glorious Soviet Union was less than glorious, could get one sent to the Gulag.
Thank goodness we do not have people in charge today with such a totalitarian mindset, and don’t you forget it! When the Babylon Bee and Titania McGrath* got suspended from Twitter, that was NOT because the woke cabal in charge there did not appreciate their satire of woke madness. It was an “error,” got it?
YOU! You laughing out there – stop it right now!
And all the other unwoke bigots that had their satire accounts suspended. Just a coincidence!
Yet more comedic accounts being targeted by Twitter... 🧐— Andrew Doyle (@andrewdoyle_com) August 18, 2020

In all seriousness, satire and comedy are among the victims when those with a totalitarian mindset, such as the Woke, gain power as they already have in social media and most of popular culture. As Mel Brooks, among others, has noted, comedy is dead, and the woke crowd killed it.
Unless the Woke are stopped, the remaining hold-outs such as Titania McGrath will have to go underground or go away.
One must not mock the totalitarians. No joke.

*Andrew Doyle, the unwoke horrible bigoted man (probably White, too) behind Titania McGrath is so brilliant, I once thought a McGrath tweet was for real.
