Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

Like, people were worried about me.

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

and the venue canceled because, I mean, they said it was for safety reasons.

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

The real reason is they were liberal, and the people who ran the business were liberal.

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

So even though Democrats, because they believe in, like, communism now, they don't care about making money.

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

yeah this this idea that shows are being cancelled is not in america is not true canada they cancelled a few they have these the canadian anti-hate network and all these uh organizations that are paid for they just found out are paid for by the liberal party in canada which is like the democrat party in canada uh through back channels apparently um and um that

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

organization's goal is to shut down people like me i guess that don't aren't censoring themselves or aren't woke basically if you're not woke you shouldn't be allowed to perform you shouldn't be allowed to be platformed you shouldn't be allowed to blah blah blah even when the shows are sold out and that's wrong i mean it's obviously wrong and a lot of it has to do with in canada if you're going to be at a venue a lot of them are city funded or

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

or or you know government funded venues and they're saying he shouldn't be allowed to perform there because it's government funded and they have a mandate to have dei and and you know not what you know all those things that they write in those you know our mission statement is that we acknowledge that we are on stolen land and there's no freedom of speech allowed in this establishment and if you say anything naughty you'll be

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

you know they have great names though those organizations they do the anti-hate ones like we have one of them in the uk called hope not hate and all they do is go around doxing anyone who's not well yeah it's like so oh you're anti-hate what do you do oh we hate ben bankers and we discriminate we don't discriminate against uh broad groups we discriminate about one person at a time and that's apparently

TRIGGERnometry
Dark Humour for Dark Times: Ben Bankas

okay but the shows were sold out i mean we're talking i just had a show nanaimo bc 900 people sold out it's been sold out for like a month and a half and then they cancel it
