Listen up, you drooling masses, because I’m about to shove the jagged pill of reality down your collective gullet. It’s me, Spider Thompson, your favourite truth-slinging bastard, crawling out from the underbelly of this rotting corpse we call society to tell you what’s really going on. And today? Today we’re talking about how free speech in America isn’t just dying – it’s being strangled in broad daylight by a bunch of power-drunk fascists in suits, and the latest victim is some late-night clown named Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, that guy. The one who tells jokes for a living. Pulled off the air like a bad rerun because he dared to open his mouth about Charlie Kirk getting plugged.
Let’s set the scene, shall we? Picture this: America, 2025, where the air smells like fear and the water tastes like corporate piss. Charlie Kirk, that smarmy little conservative golden boy, gets himself shot dead at some university gig. Tragic? Sure, if you’re into that whole “thoughts and prayers” bullshit. But then Kimmel, on his show – Jimmy Kimmel Live!, for those of you living under a rock – decides to call it like he sees it. He rips into the “MAGA gang” for trying to spin the shooter as anything but one of their own rabid fans, desperate to score points off a corpse. He mocks Trump – our eternal toddler-in-chief – for grieving like a kid flushing a goldfish. “This is not how an adult grieves,” Kimmel says. Boom. Truth bomb.
And what happens next? Enter Brendan Carr, the FCC chair, a Trump-appointed weasel with all the spine of a wet noodle. This prick goes on some conservative podcast circle-jerk called the Benny Show and threatens ABC and Disney – the big bad mouse house – with regulatory hellfire unless they “take action” on Kimmel. “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,” he sneers, like some B-movie mobster. Hours later? Nexstar Media, one of the biggest TV station owners, yanks Kimmel’s show “for the foreseeable future.” Calls his words “offensive and insensitive.” Offensive? To who? The delicate snowflakes who can’t handle a joke about their orange god-emperor?
Then Sinclair, another affiliate giant, swaps the slot for a “special remembrance” for Kirk. Remembrance my ass – it’s a propaganda wank-fest. And Carr? He thanks them like a good little lapdog, hoping others follow suit. Oh, and get this: Nexstar’s begging the FCC for approval on a $6.2 billion merger. Coincidence? Fuck no. That’s the sound of democracy bending over for the highest bidder.
This isn’t just about Kimmel, you idiots. This is the slow, slimy erosion of free speech, one gag order at a time. Remember when America prided itself on the First Amendment? “Congress shall make no law… abridging the freedom of speech.” Yeah, well, tell that to the Trump regime, who’ve turned the FCC into their personal censorship squad. Carr accuses Kimmel of “misleading the public” and “the sickest conduct possible.” Misleading? The guy’s a comedian, not a news anchor. But facts don’t matter when you’ve got an agenda. Trump’s out there claiming Kimmel was “fired for bad ratings” and “not talented.” Pot, meet kettle, you spray-tanned hypocrite.
And the backlash? Hollywood’s whining – Ben Stiller says “this isn’t right,” Jean Smart calls it “horrifying.” The Writers Guild screams about constitutional violations. Even one of Carr’s own FCC buddies, Anna Gomez, calls it out as exploiting violence for censorship. House Democrats want Carr’s head on a pike for “corrupt abuse of power.” Fans on the street? “Freedom of speech,” one says. “He’s being cancelled.” Damn right.
But here’s the filthy truth they’re all dancing around: This is cancel culture on steroids, injected straight from the government vein. Not the lefty kind the right loves to bitch about – no, this is top-down, authoritarian bullshit. Trump’s settled with CBS and ABC before, sued the Journal and Times. Now Colbert’s show is getting axed next year, “financial decision” my hairy ass. It’s a pattern: Dissent? Squashed. Media feud? Weaponized.
Free speech is slipping away, folks, not with a bang but with these quiet threats, these backroom deals, these “consequences” for speaking truth to power. Kimmel’s not the first, won’t be the last. Soon it’ll be you, mouthing off on X or whatever cesspool replaces it, and poof – gone. Because in this America, the powerful don’t debate; they silence.
So what do we do? Rise up, you lazy fucks. Scream louder. Support the voices they try to muzzle. Because if we let them take Kimmel today, tomorrow it’s the rest of us. And me? I’ll keep writing, keep fighting, until they drag me away kicking and swearing. The truth hurts, but silence kills.
Stay filthy.
