If you love her good for you, it is a free country and you can laugh at who ever you want to, no need to get enraged when others don't.

I personally wouldn't call her that much of a comedian anymore, like most Late Night TV, SNL, Most Netlfix specials, etc, 'comedians' have become more spewers of rhetoric, so the goalposts have moved. So they are comedians in name but not in reality. Hannah is a mildly talented 'comedian', who had a big fan base consisting of what she termed 'Her People'. She rode the #Metoo wave at its height, but now that big wave has gone she has come crashing to the ground. You can call yourself a Singer because you do it in the shower, but it doesn't mean you are any good at it. I can call myself a comedian because I tell Dad Jokes, but it is more delusion than anything else. As I said if you get a laugh out of what she does, good for you, but then you got to ask yourself why are you laughing? And why is she already writing a book about her glory days they were only a few years ago?

Is it that hard to believe that just because you love something others don't? I watched it and thought it was very average as did the viewer vote on Rotten Tomatoes and other review platforms. It was after this special that she had a big public fight with the head of Netflix because they woke up that she was a One Trick Pony and wasn't the genius everyone had made her out to be. I'm not saying she is bad, just not overly great. She has 'her people' that love what she does, so good for her. But don't get upset because lots of people see what she does (Just like friendly Jordies) as more rhetoric (language designed to have a persuasive or impressive effect, but which is often regarded as lacking in sincerity or meaningful content.) than humour. I don't think she will get another Netflix deal too soon, so now instead she is already writing a book about her 'glory days' with Nanette. Tasmania university even gave her an honorary doctorate, so good on her.

Hannah Gadsby used to be Adam Hill's zany side kick on his old TV show Adam Hills Tonight. If you watch some of them and you will see while Adam is immensely talented, Hannah comes across as awkward school talent event level funny https://youtu.be/3d5afTnLz_4?t=458

Each to their own, but it was the best stand up on earth Dave Chappelle who said the following https://youtu.be/Ka0a2k9gg7A?t=234

That is the thing Ross Perot said, you will have a seemingly amazing prosperity for a few decades, with amazingly cheap consumer goods, but then the bubble will burst. He said that eventually all the people that do your manufacturing will become as wealthy as you and then you will become their slaves. Clinton deregulated the financial sector and basically gave them the keys to do what they wanted in America. And the financial sector being what it is, went insane with that power, gutting the American dream in the process and making the Elites of the country superwealthy. The People that created the 2008 crash, were never punished but ended up being rewarded for the trillions of dollars they lost in financial sectors around the world. Millions lost their homes, savings, pension funds, while the elite's in finance gave themselves huge cash bonuses. The American people were the ones that ended up footing the bill for the financial sector's greed. Bill Clinton was the first Democrat to basically hand over the keys to this powerful elite, forgetting the people he was supposed to represent in the process. This destroyed the yin/yang balance that had existed in the past between democrats and republicans, to tilt the scales permanently in one direction.

This rebranding of The Democrats from The People's party to the servants of elites and the dark government is the biggest reason America is in the major shit fight it is today. Clinton removed the 1930's depression safeguards, which allowed the finance industry to have free reign, which created the 2008 financial crisis and the soon to be much bigger one. Clinton removed trade restrictions first with NAFTA and then the Free World Trade agreements. Which gutted Lower/Middle class America by obliterating American Industry and making China what it is today, a bigger threat than the U.S.S.R. was. Whole American factories had all their machinery placed in shipping crates to send to China, leaving thousands of empty warehouses and armies of unemployed. The funny/sad thing is that Ross Perot, the Billionaire third candidate who ran against Clinton and Bush, had his bean counters do the maths and said that America would have prosperity under free trade agreements for 2-3 decades and then basically become a basket case in massive debt, that would have to import the majority of its goods because it couldn't make them any longer. The U.S. now holds 31 Trillion in debt and here we are. Thankyou Mr & Mrs Clinton.
