Don't you know the Two Ronnies are anti semitic? How dare you post their videos
You seem to have forgotten that Richard Wagner was also accused of anti-Semitism, but that doesn't prevent me from appreciating his music and his ideas on life. I don't take an "us versus them" stance and start bashing people, or groups of people, I don't like. You're missing out on something. I'm not interested in the cult of personality. Good insights or ideas, into the nature of reality and the human condition, can come from all quarters, even from people, or groups of people with whom we may not entirely agree. That's why I try not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. The Two Ronnies were greatly talented, despite their views. I leave cancel culture to the woke brigade and their alter egos, those on the extreme right, who also engage in the same tactics.

You fail to notice it wasn't just about Judaism, and I like the Two Ronnies also
Catholicism was also mentioned, but it was just a bit of fun. I don't think they are really against Jewish people just because they are Jewish. It shouldn't be taken too seriously, IMO.
