In a world of wokeness, Ricky Gervais sticks out like a sore thumb. And that’s a good thing.

Check out what he tweeted recently:

The world began to crumble when feelings started overruling facts. — Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) August 5, 2019

Dude. Where have we heard that before?

Facts don't care about your feelings. — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) February 5, 2016

You guys.

May I introduce you to @benshapiro — Spencer Acciarito (@_spencer_ace_) August 5, 2019

It’s happening:

Can you imagine if Ben Shapiro and Ricky Gervais teamed up? The forces of wokeness wouldn’t stand a chance. Just look — they’re already getting upset:

Did you just go full Ben Shapiro — Praxis Makes Perfect (@AlexPleskach1) August 6, 2019

“Facts don’t care about feelings“ from a legitimate Zionist believing he is one of God‘s chosen people. — Ryan Ranger (@Nebula81081) August 5, 2019

"facts don't care about your feelings" says the guy who lives his life according to a 4000-year-old religion — jemimahibnjahiliyah (@jemimallah) August 5, 2019

Actually, 5,000-plus. But who’s counting?

I dunno pal, maybe they're both important, and paraphrasing a guy who influenced mass shooters isn't really The One. — Alan de Bottom (@badwithcolour) August 5, 2019

You must be the only human conceited enough to see a mass shooting and go "hmm now is the type to resurrect my shitty Ben Shapiro lite opinions" — Ross McCafferty (@RossMcCaff) August 5, 2019

How did a very funny bloke deteriorate so quickly into the non-racist version of Ben Shapiro? — Giovanni Torre (@GiovanniTorre) August 5, 2019

So are you like, a full-on right winger now? Because you must know the kinds of people this phrasing aligns you with — Simon Jenkins (@SimonJenkins1) August 5, 2019

What kinds of people would that be?

The Wokeness Brigade wants so badly to put Ricky Gervais into a box. And they can’t do it. Which pisses them off even more.

Wait. I'm right wing because I think denying things like evolution, the holocaust and climate change is stupid because it contradicts the evidence? That's a weird conclusion Simon. https://t.co/r2Std4oWiY — Ricky Gervais (@rickygervais) August 5, 2019

And we’re here for all of it.

Update:

To be fair, anyone can favor facts over feelings. It's not a thing specific to me. In fact, I think everyone should! https://t.co/ZwLTBEJuaW — Ben Shapiro (@benshapiro) August 6, 2019

Fair enough!
