      They are chasing money for sure, but that doesn’t make their jokes right wing.

      I’d like to hear some far right jokes because I bet they aren’t funny. Any examples?

      If you ever heard real right wing comedy, it makes sense that normal comedians try to tap into that well.

            So they would sell out just like that and suddenly promote an extreme ideology while alienating most of their potential audience?

                  The comedians Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle and others decided that alienating their fan base by accepting an egregious amount of money from the conservative monarchy of Saudi Arabia may not be in the room with us right now, probably because he’s on the other side of the Atlantic.

                    IDK under what rock you’ve been living to not see that Bill Burr is actually speaking out a lot more than most against these fascists or that Chapell has been a right-wing douche since forever.
                    So you have nothing

        I think you need to clarify… Is it because right wing comedy is just so good that they want to participate, or that right wing comedy is so terrible it’s a ripe opportunity to be a gigantic fish in a small crappy pond?

        you should really elaborate more, the only people/comedians that go fore “anti-woke” jokes are right wingers themselves, or they were closeted right wingers. you might be confused by comedians that has a veneer of "punching Up).
