He also slammed conservatives in his own country: “I hate them intensely, I’ve always hated conservatives, I’m afraid to say I’m very prejudiced against them, they’re horrible people.”
Deal with it chuds
The complaint can be summed up as "White British mxn says Black American (Chappelle) is a klansman and white Leftist jew (Maher) is a naziboi"
Idle appeared to disregard Chappelle’s claim that cancel culture is a phenomenon because, “Well where does he say it? On ‘SNL,'” later adding, “Well, you’re not being that much canceled, are you? If you were in your room complaining, I’d have a lot more sympathy.”
Idle offered one example of what does worry him, however, saying, “I didn’t like it when Bill Maher complains about the audience for not laughing, they’re telling you they don’t find it funny. You shouldn’t moan about the audience. There’s nothing wrong with the audience. If they don’t laugh at your jokes, there’s something wrong with your joke. And so … I’m not terribly sympathetic to that sort of attitude, to be honest.”
Idle also took a swipe at Twitter CEO Elon Musk, paraphrasing one of his own tweets that said paying for verification is like “buying a petting zoo and then charging the animals.”
He also recalled a past tweet where he said that “I do not believe in freedom of speech for fascists. That’s like putting diesel in a Tesla.”

Yes, he doesn't like freedom of speech for political groups that he despises. You've truly cracked the code here.

It's a simile.
"Freedom of speech for fascists" is like "doing something r-slurred" because "putting diesel in a Tesla" is r-slurred.

K. I realize the point is I'm reading too much into it. But a simile can still be an analogy, and the sentence is set up to make you think it is.

Wouldn't it be like putting diesel in a conventional automobile because it would destroy it (le fascism is so compelling it's like
satanebil mine control) so that even a drop is bad?Where the frick would you put gas in a Tesla? Is he making fun of people without a platform and audience like himself?
