Cancel culture now run by conservatives

At the end of the day, its all about the mean tweets.

They get canceled for supporting killing innocent people. We get canceled for living our lives. It's not the same.

My 20k subscriber youtube channel got demonitized because I said masks don't work in 2021

They can frick off

The complaint against “cancel culture” was not about being fired or shamed for speech. That has always existed and will always exist.

The criticism with “cancel culture” was that this mechanism of enforcement was used against innocuous speech well within the bounds of reasonable debate (e.g., advocating for tighter border security) and used as witch-hunting missions against unpopular people (e.g., scraping decades old internet posts to show someone said “f*g*ot”).

In cancel culture, the threshold of what was acceptable speech was tightened only to progressive views.

Now, the views that are being “canceled” are current public celebrations of murder, and in some cases, encouragement of further murders.

This has always been beyond the pale of what is acceptable socially. Moreover, so far, this is a discrete social enforcement event, not an ongoing wave of various “cancellations” for myriads of views.

My belief is that if you celebrate the assassination of a public individual and you work in government, you should be fired immediately

If you are a member of the military, you should be discharged with dishonor.

If you work in healthcare or education, you should be fired after tenure review and your license should be revoked.

If you work in private industry, its up to the private employer. If they feel it harms their business, it is acceptable to fire an employee. If they feel it doesn't harm their business or they agree, the free market will tell if that's a good decision.

They would cancel people over jokes. Or NOT supporting an idea. Etc.

And I hope the conservatives do exactly that and worse! They’ve been calling conservatives fascist for years. Now let’s show them what real unbridled fascism is.

Also at the end of the day, not all tweets are created equal. A friend was threatened with his job a couple of years ago for liking and reposting something about “the only two genders are male and female”. Not exactly mean, would you agree?

People warned the left that the pendulum always swings back eventually. Whether they thought they were invincible or didn't care is up for debate but things have reached the FO stage.
