Скачать или смотреть STOP PRETENDING YOU’RE CENSORED — BEN AVERY

This isn’t rebellion — it’s performance.

Ben Avery goes on a rant about the strange new genre of ultra-successful comedians who spend their time complaining about censorship, enemies, and being “not allowed to say anything anymore” — while simultaneously signing massive Spotify deals, Netflix specials, selling out arenas, and being endlessly platformed by the biggest media companies in the world.

Ben breaks down how this rhetoric hasn’t evolved since 2020: the same victim language, the same grievance framing, the same stories about “killing” on stage and being the hero of every road story. The result isn’t authenticity — it’s a rehearsed personality loop that replaces spontaneity with branding.

The segment also explores how these podcasts increasingly function less like comedy and more like soft power media — spaces where reputations are laundered, images are rehabilitated, and everyone pretends to be under siege while quietly becoming institutional.

Ben isn’t mad that comedians are successful. He’s mad that they’re pretending they aren’t — and that the culture keeps mistaking privilege for persecution.
