On a semi-related note, the AIDS walk episode of Seinfeld provided an eerie prediction (certainly unknowingly) of the cancel culture that is now so toxic.

Kramer refuses to wear an AIDS ribbon. When the other marchers pressure him to change his mind, he says something like, This is America. I don't have to if I don't want to.

I forget what comes after that. My point is that comedy often comes closer to the truth than straight narrative.

But now comedy is dead.

Here it is. And comedy is mostly dead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iV8X8ubGCc
