What is cancel culture ?
Uh boyNever, that I'm aware of. And, of course, I have made it abundantly clear already that that is not my point.What I'm saying is that freedom of speech and expression is the most LIBERAL of all of our values, and that I support it.Are you saying that you expect people to self-regulate?I'd rather see it fade away culturally and keep the government out of it.That's also known as retaliation and in some cases is unlawful.Yes, I'll say it again: The problem is the punishment and intimidation.Freedom of speech and expression is the most LIBERAL of ALL our values.
It's ILLIBERAL to distort it.
Replying is NOT distorting it.
We just have two different definitions of freedom of expression.
It's illiberal.
So, I agree with Noam Chomsky on this and other issues.
Examples of others who agree with me:
Where has the government gotten involved and where has anyone stopped her (and others) from saying whatever they want?
You're fine with it. I agree with President Obama, Bernie Sanders, Liz Warren, Noam Chomsky, Salman freakin' Rushdie and many other liberals on this.
We disagree. And I'm not trying to convince you of anything.
What exactly are you disagreeing with? The only thing I've been able to determine is the new label to a very old thing.
Free speech has never meant that there would never be any repurcussions because of that speech.
Why are their repercussions for saying all lives matter..or wearing a shirt that says all lives splatter ...or getting denied entry to college becuase youre a trump supporter

A vast generalization (outside of one example).
People post "All Lives Matter" all over the place. Nothing happens to them.
Law enforcement officials have to be careful with what they do or it can show a bias in a court of law. An employer has always been able to take actions upon your actions and that has nothing to do with free speech.
I said I disagreed with suspending the student. She had no right to not be countered though which is all that has happened to J.K.
its not a vast generalization its been snowballing for decades now and is only getting progressively worse.
I can't wait till the elites move to kill all these useful idiots .
I'm gonna piss on thier empty headed graves
Thank goodness. It's about time some well-known voices spoke out against "Cancel Culture".
J.K. Rowling, Bari Weiss Sign Letter Calling for Open Debate
J.K. Rowling, Bari Weiss, Noam Chomsky, and more than 100 other writers, scholars, and academics signed an open letter calling for "open debate" and an end to cancel culture, sparking backlash from both liberal and conservative pundits.www.mediaite.com
The letter addressed the nationwide Black Lives Matter protests and calls to defund the police — acknowledging that the demands are over due while warning against cancel culture and being intolerant of differences.
“But this needed reckoning has also intensified a new set of moral attitudes and political commitments that tend to weaken our norms of open debate and toleration of differences in favor of ideological conformity,” the letter read. “The democratic inclusion we want can be achieved only if we speak out against the intolerant climate that has set in on all sides.”
The letter warned that liberals are forming their own version of censorship, one that President Donald Trump and “right-wing demagogues” thrive off of.
“This stifling atmosphere will ultimately harm the most vital causes of our time,” the letter added. “The restriction of debate, whether by a repressive government or an intolerant society, invariably hurts those who lack power and makes everyone less capable of democratic participation.”

I never thought I would see the day when the phrase "all lives matter" is deemed reprehensable.What SHOULD happen to them?
They should be told exactly why they are idiots for saying it? But they'd probably go on being idiots.
"Bigot" meaning they disagree with you.
Where did you come up with that definition?Deciding you don't want to purchase the work of someone you disagree with is not censorship.
Now if the government decides to not allow her to speak, then I'll join her.
Censorship is the suppression of speech, public communication, or other information, on the basis that such material is considered objectionable, harmful, sensitive, or "inconvenient."

If it were just "you are wrong" followed by reasonable discourse on WHY, nobody would have a problem.I'm reading another article and it seems she is upset with "Public Shaming" of people for what they say.
That is a cornerstone of society. We get nowhere as a society if people never spoke up to say "you are wrong".
Or fire them? Stone them? Etc.What SHOULD happen to them?People post "All Lives Matter" all over the place. Nothing happens to them.
People who understand what they are actually saying should counter them.
It's CONSERVATIVE to maintain it!!!!Freedom of speech and expression is the most LIBERAL of ALL our values.
It's ILLIBERAL to distort it.
