Louis ck: "my life is over." But his illness lives on
He said in his latest leaked standup that his life is over so he doesn’t care who he offends. He ridiculed Asians, trans people, parkland survivors, to name a few. But his life is only over because he purposely chose that route. But after reflection, I don’t find that surprising about him. He’s one of these people that gets a thrill out of shocking people, taking them to weird mental places, like a flasher in the park.
It’s obvious he has rejected society and wants to say and do what he wants without concern for what anyone thinks about it. His ego probably tells him he knows better than this hypocritical society. I’m sure in his mind he’s taking part in some personal social experiment and getting a thrill, but really he’s just a shock junkie narcissist who doesn’t really care about anyone in any significant way other than himself. He just couldn’t bring himself to make any kind of amends with the people whose careers he tried (some successfully) to destroy after sexually harassing them. In his mind (and some fans’ and fellow comedians’ minds) he lost some lucrative deals and that’s payment enough. Keeping millions and living in luxury for 8 months or so and yeah my debt is paid. He’s an example of the worst in human instincts: if I don’t have to do the right thing, I won’t.
He’ll have his followers the way trump has his horrible core racist following. There’s always an audience for revolting things. There are gore sites where weirdos get thrills looking at dead bodies and torture. There’s an audience for everything.
But he’s decided I guess that he’d rather reduce himself to obscurity and niche followers rather than do the right thing.
I used to like the guy. I even paid to see him on tour. That’s over.
