Monty Python foresaw today’s craziness a long time ago

Funny! A few years ago a conservative friend of mine posted this on Facebook and it was removed. It is interesting to note that at the time of that movie’s release he refused to see it because it was “blasphemous” in his terms. Monty Python also faced that charge from British conservatives at that time.

Indeed it is interesting to observe the shifting standards of some conservatives. A similar dynamic occurred with Dave Chapelle. Conservatives touted content from his Netflix special that aligned with their key talking points. Interestingly, prior to that his brand of humor was considered too coarse for consumption for people with good moral character. As well, Milo Yiannopoulos. Despite being quite a flamboyant advocate for the gay lifestyle, he became a conservative icon. That lasted until it was revealed that Milo didn’t take issue with adult men having a little sensual fun with “boys”. After that…another shift.
That said, Python’s humorous approach does make the point…quite well.
