Comedian Dismantles Wokeism: ‘Bastardized’ Religion Worshipping ‘Great God Of Equality’

These days, it can sometimes seem that the only public figures still willing to stand up to the absurdity of the far left are comedians.

Sure, there are many comics who still adhere to the extreme social agenda of Hollywood and the Democratic Party, but a growing number of them — including at least a few self-described liberals — are increasingly unafraid of being “canceled” by the woke mob.

Bryan Callen, who rose to prominence as a “Mad TV” cast member, has become somewhat more political in his comedy and podcast appearances in recent years.

As Breitbart reported, he recently shared his unvarnished opinion of the woke ideology currently dominating much of America’s left wing:

He added that the whole concept of “deadnaming” “is a religion, it’s no different than being born again, but they’ve taken Christianity and bastardized it to be their own thing…it may have been like what the Maoists did in China…everybody was wearing the same uniform, they were on the same bike, and they had the same haircut…the idea behind that was to break down category” based on the faulty belief that doing so would end prejudice.

He concluded, “I’ve probably spoken to 400 academics on my old podcast, all of them pray to the great God of equality.”

Of course, there have been plenty of others willing to speak out against wokeness, particularly during the Biden years:

"Wokeness is the reason that a lot of liberals are WAKING UP."

Comedian Bill Maher, after decades of delivering left-leaning commentary, has become one of the most recognizable anti-woke voices of the past few years.

As the New York Post reported shortly after November’s presidential election:

After President-elect Donald Trump trounced Vice President Kamala Harris last week, Massachusetts Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton said he didn’t want his two young daughters “getting run over on a playing field by a formerly male athlete” — a statement that promptly led to the resignation of one of his top aides.

“Let me make this as plain as I can to the smart people — the campaign manager who resigned, yeah, let that person go. Marginalize that guy,” Maher sniffed.

The comedian noted statistics showing that Hispanic Americans were considerably more supportive of increased border security than progressive white Americans and that black Americans were less concerned about racism than progressive white Americans.

“The votes are in — they don’t want your pity, and black people can’t afford to indulge rich white people’s need to endlessly flagellate themselves.

“They just want prices to go down and good jobs and the police, when you call them,” Maher said.

Callen made a similar argument during a podcast interview last year:
