Cancel Culture...

I like these guys take on it. We are a weaker country for it.


It's ugly. And it doesn't appear to be slowing down at all.

These right wing memes have got to go. The same people talking about this fake cancel culture are the first to be offended by anything.

The problem is, I'm no right winger. I'm just serious about freedom of expression, the most liberal of all American values.

The Left has been taken over by illiberal leftist authoritarians.

I'd agree, however, that Trumpsters are every bit as hypersensitive and snowflakey as Regressive Lefties.

Watch the video. Remember... Nobody can make you look stupid. You have to do it.

Your types are offended by everything. These blm parasites are the nihilists who are trying to whitewash history. However, these useful idiots are being used and will eventually be put down by the elitist marxists.
 
That is the argument against cancel culture. That it destroys art, or links to the past.
Watch the fuck'n video. Learn what it is people are saying, before you make a rebuttal. Otherwise you are doing nothing more than arguing with yourself.

"Fake" cancel culture he says. The modern left's penchant for intimidation tactics is the only reason they get away with so much. Everyone knows if you cross them they'll "out" you on social media and ruin your reputation get you fired from your job and even invite violent retribution from murderers or rapists. This woman shows just how they want us all to live:

Nah, I'm not gonna waste more time with bigoted garbage
If you aren't going to come into this in good faith... Why in the world are you here? If you don't know what it is I'm saying, how can you argue against me? How can you know it's bigoted, if you don't actually read/watch what it is I'm saying my stance agrees with?

Trump does it all the time and this isn't even the entire list!

April 2015: Trump suggests that conservative writer Jonah Goldberg, then a senior editor of National Review magazine, should be forced to resign for writing that Trump had been "tweeting like a 14-year-old girl" in response to another conservative writer calling Trump a clown. Trump also suggests Fox News anchor Bret Baier should stop having Goldberg on his show.

June 2015: When Spanish-language television network Univision severed its business relationship with Trump after his campaign launch speech, in which he labeled Mexican immigrants as criminals and rapists, Trump tweets, "Anyone who wants strong borders and good trade deals for the US should boycott @Univision."

July 2015: Trump calls for a boycott of Macy's after Macy's discontinued its business dealings with him over those same comments about people from Mexico. Trump also tweets "Great" when someone tells him that people are canceling their Macy's credit cards.

September 2015: After National Review editor Rich Lowry argued on Fox News that rival Republican candidate Carly Fiorina had "cut off (Trump's) balls with the precision of a surgeon" in a primary debate, Trump says: "Incompetent @RichLowry lost it tonight on @FoxNews. He should not be allowed on TV and the FCC should fine him!" (Lowry responds, "I love how Mr. Anti-PC now wants the FCC to fine me. #pathetic.")

December 2015: Trump calls for the firing of then-CBS News journalist Sopan Deb and NBC/MSNBC journalist Katy Tur over reporting he disputed about how he handled protesters during a rally speech.

February 2016: Trump calls on the Wall Street Journal to fire its editorial board, which had criticized him, and its pollster, which showed results he didn't like.

March 2016: Trump proposes a boycott of Megyn Kelly's Fox News show, complaining that it is too negative toward him.
September 2016: After the Dallas Morning News and Arizona Republic newspapers endorse Hillary Clinton for president and USA Today declares Trump unfit for the office, Trump says, "The people are really smart in cancelling subscriptions to the Dallas & Arizona papers & now USA Today will lose readers! The people get it!"

September 2017: Trump tweets that NFL players and other athletes who don't stand for the National Anthem should be told, "YOU'RE FIRED." He says in another tweet, "Fire or suspend!" And at a rally, he says, "Wouldn't you love to see one of these NFL owners when somebody disrespects our flag to say, 'Get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired, he's fired.' "

October 2017: Suggesting he could use the power of the state against media entities he dislikes, Trump muses about challenging the broadcast licenses of NBC and other networks over their news coverage. (He again broached the subject of reviewing NBC's license in September 2018.)

November 2017: Trump calls for a boycott of CNN.
August 2018: Trump tweets, "Many @harleydavidson owners plan to boycott the company if manufacturing moves overseas. Great! Most other companies are coming in our direction, including Harley competitors."

June 2019: Trump suggests people stop "using or subscribing" to AT&T to pressure the company to make changes at CNN, which it owns.

September 2019: Trump suggests that actress Debra Messing should be fired for calling on a news outlet to publish the names of people attending a Trump fundraiser and for a tweet promoting a church sign that said "a black vote for Trump is mental illness." (Messing had apologized for the tweet about the church sign.)

January 2020: Trump says The New York Times should fire columnist Paul Krugman, a winner of the Nobel Prize in economics, for having incorrectly predicted a global recession after Trump's victory in 2016.

May 2020: The day after Twitter appended a fact check link to dishonest Trump claims about mail-in voting, Trump threatens to shut down social media companies: "Republicans feel that Social Media Platforms totally silence conservatives voices. We will strongly regulate, or close them down, before we can ever allow this to happen."

May 2020: Trump seeks the firing of Chuck Todd, host of NBC's "Meet the Press," for the show playing a misleadingly shortened clip of comments by Attorney General William Barr. (Todd apologized, saying it was an inadvertent mistake.) Again broaching the power of the state, Trump tags the accounts of the Federal Communications Commission, which regulates television, and its chairman, Ajit Pai.

A list of people and things Donald Trump tried to get canceled

OK, Trump is a whiner. But that's not what the IM2 post said,
quote: "These right wing memes have got to go. The same people talking about this fake cancel culture are the first to be offended by anything.

So I'm thinking IM2's referring to Hannity, Ingrham, Tucker, Rush, and the other conservative talking heads.
Otherwise who are the "right wing memes" he's referring to?
I agree that Trump always "hits back" if someone posts an offensive tweet/article. But the "insults" are generally very real.
 
These right wing memes have got to go. The same people talking about this fake cancel culture are the first to be offended by anything.
No it's usually offended by one thing. Massive stupidity.

How the left chooses to express that simply changes by the hour.
