Nice to see the pushback from the Left against CANCEL CULTURE gain steam

[eagle1462010]

Hopefully the momentum is increasing by the minute. "The Left has become the Right" is now being used as a term to describe how the hardcore Left has become what it used to loathe: Restrictive in what words are allowed to be uttered in public, etc.

This is one of the many excellent long-form political conversations that can be found on YouTube nowadays. This one includes one of my favorite thinkers and writers, Matt Taibbi. These are three liberals who see what has happened to the hardcore Left, and how it has become repressive, and how the Right is now the side that is more libertarian in its freedom of expression protections.

For example, from Taibbi: "One of the features of the new politics... is that it's losing some young people because the codes of behavior are so strict. The tendency to be that person who is constantly policing the speech of everyone else in the group -- that used to be the conservative in the room, and that was why a lot of us became political liberals. The rules have been reversed now".

They also discuss how the "left intelligencia" is denying that Cancel Culture is even happening.

MORE MORE MORE PLEASE!!!!

They complain about cancel culture....and then go out and vote for the democrat party, the party that is the root cause of cancel culture.....they are just mouthing off, and until they stop voting for the party of cancel culture that is all it is....

Yep lip service. Many of these lefties participated in cancel culture and egged it on. Now that they think it may start coming for them they are suddenly speaking out.

Once it benefits them they will be all for it again.

Yep.........they think they will be spared from the guillotine..........they are wrong.

And Mac wants us all to praise the left for doing what the right has been doing from the beginning. I hope their "cancel culture" destroys them. They created their monster, now they can live with it

Holy crap, I don't expect anything from people like you.

I am, however, interested to see what lefties would think, and we've had one Regressive chime in.

The rest is standard Trumpster noise.

Are you happy..........we are here to appease your far left affliction...Hoping that you will feel better about yourself.............sniff sniff.

Anyone got a tissue

One squeak from one person does not a movement make.

Bill has been trying for a while now...

Then you're just not paying attention. Quite a few honest voices are speaking up.

It's not hard to find if a person is actually curious.

The lefties here on U.S.messageboard support everything about cancel culture.....they support the democrat party antifa and black lives matter terrorists.....they want the power to destroy the jobs of anyone they disagree with...that is why they aren' commenting on your thread...they don't agree with you......they get the giggles when they see conservatives beaten, and worse......

They believe in cancel culture and enjoy watching it destroy the lives of people who disagree with them.....

Bill has been trying for a while now...

Sorry....that is wrong......he gives money and votes for the people who are doing cancel culture........ so he has no credibility......

Bill has been trying for a while now...

You know, bill maher, john cleese, J.k. rowling.....they are essentially saying..."Gee, you shouldn't be hitting that guy with the baseball bat just because he doesn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding...but here, take this money to buy a new bat and here is the address of a sporting good store where you can get an even better bat...."

That's just it... He's not talking to you. So... You shouldn't get anything out of it.

Yeah..on the right.......thank a repub if this is beaten back....

He is full of shit. Cancel culture is taking over school boards ( not the tea party leftist boogeyman) and it is taking over most corporations including Hollywood. He is just worried they will come for him next.

Honestly I'm just happy you watched it. Make note of the years there on those vids. There is absolutely nothing wrong with trying to figure out what your opposition thinks and why they think that way.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

yeah----but too little, too late

Well, I hope not.

This is why I always talk about each side holding its own accountable. People like those in the video are only a few voices. There are many more on the Left who are trying to push back against this madness. And because it's coming from many respected voices on the Left, it is more effective, and it has a better chance of succeeding.

If only the Right would take the cue.

HINT: They won't. I railed about this very thing last night.

The problem is that the alternative is ignorant and ugly.

"The lesser of two evils", and all that.

Republicans aren't even remotely close to the democrats....not even close to the lesser of two evils...you have the democrat party openly supporting antifa and black lives matter as they burn, loot, beat and kill Americans in democrat party controlled cities....as they get people fired for simply having different political views....who used the FBI, CIA, IRS, DOJ and State Department to target the opposition party before and after an election...

The democrat party is evil........and it isn't even a matter of "lesser of," anymore....

Well, that's the perspective of the hardcore Trumpian Right. I get it.

The Regressive Left would say the same in reverse.

Neither whacked-out end has any credibility at this point.

And they are lying......again...

Which political party is burning, looting, beating and murdering Americans for the last 2 months? Which political party used a drunk Russian to get illegal FISA warrants to spy on the oppostion party? Which political party used the IRS to keep groups from the opposition party from getting their tax free status..

There is no comparison between the two parties......the democrat party is evil...it will literally do anything to get power and has shown us this since 2016.......

Mac, you "laughted." What part can you disagree with or challenge?

I'm laughing at the binary thought that has polluted both ends of the political spectrum.

All you wingers -- on both ends -- can "see" is the misdeeds of the other tribe.

The hardcore Left has behaved horribly, and will no doubt continue to. But you guys have only one eye open.

I'm not trying to convince you of anything. Your arrogant willful ignorance is stronger than anything I can conjure.

You are blind and you are a fool.

NO, U! That's the extent of your Cult45 argument. That's why you're fucking losers.

Well, we see some of it with the Lincoln Project, but I don't know how effective it is. Right now the party is simply paralyzed by Trumpism and all its ugliness.

But there are quite a few voices on the Left, and these folks who call themselves "progressives", who are going after Cancel Culture pretty hard. It keeps my hopes up.

How can you hope to have a discussion when you dismiss out of hand, opposing viewpoints? And, who the hell are you to label an opposing view as not credible in the first place?

If you don’t want the opposition to have a voice, then you are what youre complaining about, and the premise of your thread is a sham.

I don't "dismiss out of hand, opposing viewpoints". I note them very carefully from a sociological / anthropological perspective. I just choose not to get into long-form back-and-forth slap fights. I don't see the point. Do you? Do you feel they actually accomplish something? Really?

You guys spend far too much time worrying about me, and maybe not enough time focusing on specifics. That tells me quite a bit.

I don’t give a rats ass what you think it tells you. You started a thread looking for discussion, then immediately stated that opposing views were “not credible”, so, you and your thread are fraud.
