When you attack others for exercising their right to free speech, you come out against free speech. All of your "Cancel Culture" posts are examples. I agree, this is not attacking others for stating their opinions. You are simply stating your own opinion. Which is fine. No. Free speech includes, and is a superset of your so-called "Cancel Culture," and is still protected free speech, in America at least, outside of your house. Free speech that calls for the cancelling of a show is still free speech. Tell us how it's not.
Bullshit. Tell us how it's illegal speech. Tell us how we don't have the right to say this in the USA, comrade?
@gwb-trading every time you get confused as to what rights our Constitution gives us, and you start spinning in circles again--chasing your mythical cancel culture tail, I'll be right there to help snap you out of it; and remind you that you don't live in Russia, China, or North Korea. I'll be there to remind you of how silly you look and sound.
How White Religious Conservatives Invented Cancel Culture It’s time to toss that broken record into the trash. It’s played out. It’s fake news. Jeremy Helligar Sep 4, 2020·6 min read George Burroughs (1652 –1690) reciting the Lord’s Prayer before his execution at Witches Hill, Salem, Massachusetts, on August 19, 1690, after being accused of witchcraft in the Salem witch trials. Photo: Universal History Archive/Getty Images Atthe Republican National Convention in August, President Donald Trump and his cast of sycophants returned to a familiar refrain: “Cancel culture” is the devil, possibly the single greatest hurdle to making America great again. It must be stopped. For those unfamiliar with The Great American Threat, “cancel culture” is a phenomenon of the “Karen” era, likely to be cited by the type of person who’d be called a “Karen.” (It’s also a term that originated in the Black community, which, I suspect, has a lot to do with how conservatives react to it — but that’s a subject for another story.) If you’ve been shamed on social media or rendered unpopular and possibly unemployed for committing an unpardonable offense (R. Kelly, Roseanne Barr, Megyn Kelly, and Chick-fil-A), you’ve been canceled. It’s Americans doing what Americans have always done well — judge others — only social media allows everyone to join the mob and wield a degree of influence. Trump, who has experienced cancel culture from both sides, has turned it into a political grenade against Democrats because, well, isn’t everything their fault? His entire family echoes him, painting themselves and their conservative Republican flock as victims of a liberal scourge previously known as “political correctness.” Never mind that while they’re complaining about the lefties who try to shut them up, they are doing the same thing in return. They’ve employed it at various times throughout U.S. history, and they are quite happy to revive it today whenever it benefits them. It’s the sort of astounding hypocrisy and contradiction that has defined America since its founding fathers declared all men equal while preaching the morality of White supremacy. Today, conservatives play victims of cancel culture supposedly created by liberals while straight White conservatives have been cracking that whip (figuratively and literally) for the country’s entire history. It’s time to toss that broken record into the trash. It’s played out — to use one of their other favorite phrases that evokes a specter of their own devising, it’s fake news. Actual history, not the rewritten stuff conservatives like to peddle, proves that the sort of White conservatives who trumpet Trump are the real architects of cancel culture. They’ve employed it at various times throughout U.S. history, and they are quite happy to revive it today whenever it benefits them. Just take a look at their responses to recent events: Black Lives Matter protests, Trump’s cancellation of the World Health Organization, Democratic governors, and the U.S. Postal Service. Not convinced? Have a seat. Let’s backtrack. More: https://level.medium.com/white-conservatives-invented-cancel-culture-da69c0beaf3
Trying to take away a man’s livelihood because you are “offended” by something he said as a comedian — very much the example of Cancel Culture. What’s next urging people online to burn down his house — oh wait that is already happening. Welcome to the excesses of online Cancel Culture.
It's still free, lawful, speech, even though you don't approve. Move to China, Russia, or North Korea. If an employer wants to 'take away' a comedian's livelihood, that's their decision; not the protestors. What part of 'free speech can't hire/fire anyone' do you not understand? BTW, how's Chappelle's livelihood now? And why is that? Keep chasing though ... you might get lucky.
Does that apply to all employers? If someone says something the employer doesn’t like, they have the right to fire them? Is that free speech?
I thought cancel culture fired Chappelle? How would @gwb-trading spin this? https://ohionewstime.com/netflix-supports-dave-chappelle-in-criticism-of-transgender-jokes/268279/
