I'll say it for the third and last time: It's NOT about opposing an idea with SPEECH. THAT is the POINT of it.I think this is new in that it has clearly accelerated. Either we believe in true freedom of expression, unencumbered, or we do not.Is that all that happens in Cancel Culture, in the big picture?Counter with speech, yes. Counter with punishment and intimidation, no.Free speech is not the right to have no one counter your speech.
There is a very clear distinction there.
People are saying "I do not support what she is saying". They have as much right to say that as she does to say what she says.
If so, why is it called "Cancel Culture" to begin with?
People love to come up with these new labels for things that are not new for some reason.
I guess it helps push the news. "Cancel Culture"?
Whats that? Click.
As an example. I was a documentary on an underground comic book writer that got himself into trouble over his comics. Now I will agree that the part where the government got involved was wrong.
But there is a reason they were "underground" comics that had to print their own material. Publishers simply weren't interested in their work.
They didn't have an obligation to publish it.
The venues to disagree (or even agree) have expanded. That's simply the nature of things.
Again, she is free to say whatever she wants. What she (and you) want it the ability to say what you want without anyone saying you are wrong.
I don't know why you don't want to recognize that, but three tries is enough for me.
Why? Because you've not actually made any other point.
Dude,
I disagree with almost everything Mac says, or is likely to ever say -
On this point, he has destroyed you.
