I'm Privileged

Sup nerds,

I’m a privileged motherfucker.

I’m not a nepo baby. I’m not a 6’ bodybuilder (I’m a 5’ 8” Jewish dude with a dad bod). But goddamn I’m a privileged motherfucker.

Why? Because I’ve got Jester’s Privilege.

This is a thoughtpiece I’ve been workshopping for a few years.

No marketing advice in this one. No growth hacks. Just some thoughts on my quest to become uncancellable, how I’m fighting censorship and the thought police, and how I’m getting rich doing it and what you can do too.

Shoutout to the team at Adquick for sponsoring my insane ass. They love memelords.

A 1000-Day Quest to Become Uncancellable

In 2021, I started the most important quest of my life: to become “uncancellable”.

The goal was simple: to amass so much money, leverage, and opportunities I can literally say whatever the fuck I want. To become uncancellable. I literally even started an anonymous account at one point called “Uncancellable” before saying fuck it, I’m gonna do it under my own name and risk everything to reap the higher rewards. I wanted “Fuck You Money”, but for me, it’s never been about saying “Fuck you” to anyone in specific. It’s more like “Say whatever the fuck I want money”.

And like any Hero’s Journey, this quest for uncancellability wasn’t overnight.

I’ve been through hell and back. Blood, sweat, tears, barf, and cum. I’ve made powerful enemies. I’ve lost friends. I looked like an idiot to everyone I know. I get attacked and called every name in the book everyday on the internet. I block motherfuckers on the daily. I’ve pissed off my wife too many times. I sacrificed my health and sleep and sanity. I spent thousands on shit that didn’t work. But now I’m making my millions and can say whatever the fuck I want and make whatever crazy shit I want.

True freedom of speech is the rarest treasure in the world and I’m a goddamn pirate. And guess what, I found the buried treasure.

I built a brand where the more unhinged I get, the more money I make.

• 2 weeks ago, I signed a $30,000 ad deal from a viral penis meme.

• On Friday, I sold $12,000 in ads for my show where in the first episode we literally built Duofucko (Duolingo only for cursing)

• Oh yeah, I grew my meme software to 1000s of customers where the basic plan is literally called a “Micropenis Plan”. 

I did it.

I never sold out. I just make sales.

I’m uncancellable. You can try to fuck with me and screenshot my tweets or whatever, but it won’t do shit because I already cancelled myself. Everyone funding my work knows who I am and what I’m about and they fund me because of that.

I have Jester’s Privilege at scale.

Jester’s Privilege

Comedians have a special privilege: to say what others cannot.

It’s literally called “Jester’s Privilege”.

Jesters can make jokes about serious topics like death, incest, pedophilia, murder, and rape, because they’re assumed not to be serious people. Meanwhile, if a banker says something like that, they’re assumed to be serious.

Comedians should be the most free, uncancellable people on the planet.

But have you noticed how comedy movies aren’t as funny as they were 10 years ago?

I know you’ve noticed it. And maybe you didn’t care and say it’s no big deal, but in my opinions, it’s actually a really big fucking deal. It’s bigger than comedy, it’s society.

Well in 2017, things started changing due to mass cancellations around the MeToo movement and woke mobs. And of course, the perpetrators deserved not to work in Hollywood anymore, but the trickle-down effects can be felt across the culture from the movies that are made to the fear you feel before you tell a joke or say something edgy to your friends. I know you feel it. “Can I even say that?” you ask yourself.

There’s no list of things you can and cannot say without ruining your life, but there might as well be. Actually, the fact there’s no list makes it even scarier due to the uncertainty. It’s a way to shut everyone up in fear.

It’s trickle-down censorship.

Once you censor the comedians who are supposed to be pushing the boundaries of what you can say, yes, it makes comedy movies worse—and more importantly, it puts fear in everyone else’s minds of what you can and cannot say.

I mean just look at the difference across 2 movies in 7 years.

In 2012 you had Adam Sandler and Andy Samberg starring in a hilarious movie about a guy who fucked his teacher (I died laughing, 10/10 recommend), and in 2019 you had him starring in a lame murder mystery with Jennifer Anniston. MeToo was in 2017. Even without Sandler getting cancelled, it fucked the movies you can make. And once you fuck what the comedians can say and make, it makes everything worse.

Ok who cares?

Like I said it’s bigger than Sandler. I’m not asking you to feel bad for The Sandman. He’s worth $500M+ and a happy guy. It’s not about the poor comedians who can’t make their funny movies anymore. It’s about you, my Uncle Joe, and everyone in between.

Once Louis CK or Andrew Schultz or whoever gets attacked for making a joke, then the average joe in Nebraska is afraid to make a similar joke. “If a comedian can’t say it, I can’t say it!” This leads to everyone being full of fear over what you can or cannot say. The “thought police” from Fahrenheit 451 are real. They’re inside our heads.

And I’ve been fighting back against the thought police inside my brain for the last 5 years. And I’m only getting started.

My viral subway videos was an attack against thought police. Every risky meme is an attack. My new show Silly Valley Ventures is an attack.

My memelord mafia is getting bigger and stronger than ever. Everything is compounding. I have 20+ affiliated accounts on X. I run a network of pages with millions of followers. And together, we’ll bring down the thought police one unhinged meme and joke and sketch at a time until people can say what’s on their goddamn minds again.

Together, we’ll bring down the thought police.

Wanna fight the thought police with me?

Grow a pair.

Say the things that you want to say no matter the consequence. With your friends, your family, and on the internet—especially if you have an audience. Say it.

Understand that it’s bigger than you.

It’s for the people all over the world. The teenagers watching your content trying to figure out their life through first kisses, puberty, and heartbreak. The college kid going through depression who needs a laugh and to feel comfortable with himself again. The girl who is afraid of being the unhinged silly person she is.

When you censor yourself, you censor everyone seeing your work. Censorship trickles down. And I guess the only question is do you want to inspire boldness or fear?
