Tulsi Gabbard: The Final Expression Of Cancel Culture In Islamist Terrorist Groups

Correct. It is time to just start treating these people as if they were Islamist terrorists because that’s basically what they are.
quote:
Former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) compared those who engage in “cancel culture” to Islamist terrorists during an interview this week on Fox News, saying that they are similar in terms of wanting to ban ideas that are a threat to them.
“When you look at the foundation of our democracy, it is based on this ideal, this principle of freedom, freedom of speech, freedom for every single one of us to be able to share our ideas and debate them, to argue them, to agree or to disagree, to pick and choose in this marketplace of ideas, those that we deem to be right or wrong to be superior or inferior and even for those ideas that may be misleading or dangerous, that in this free marketplace, we have the right to then defeat those ideas with with superior ones,” Gabbard said. “Cancel culture is the opposite of this, it is exactly the opposite of this foundational principle of our democracy. It means that in a cancel culture, you have some people who believe that they are special, that they are superior, that they have the power to be able to shut down those who have ideas and views that are different, who may follow a path that they deem to be the wrong path and will therefore say, ‘No, we’re going to place obstacles in front of you, we’re going to silence certain voices, so that only those who agree with us and the path that we deem to be right as the one that is before you to choose.'”
“And the issue with this, there’s a few issues with it, the main issue with this is when you look at our rights and freedoms, and our ability to debate them, and respectfully come out the other end agreeing or disagreeing, as you and I have over the years, it’s based on the fact that we are all children of God. And recognizing that, we then treat each other with respect and respect this freedom that we have,” she continued. “So, let’s look down the path and say, ‘Okay, well, where does this cancel culture lead us?’ You see the final expression of cancel culture in Islamist terrorist groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda who basically go and behead those who … they deem to be infidels or heretics in order to silence them in order to protect others from being misled by those heretical ideas and in the eyes of an ISIS or Al Qaeda.”
“And so when we look at cancel culture here at home, we see those efforts to cancel or silence those that … they don’t want the people to hear from, those who may offer a different idea than the one that those in power want people to see or to hear, or to be exposed to,” she concluded. “And so this is, when we look at the foundations of our democracy, this is the danger of where this path leads us. Unless we as individuals stand up against it.”
Correct. It is time to just start treating these people as if they were Islamist terrorists because that’s basically what they are.

I don't agree with Tulsi on everything, but we need more people like her on both sides of the aisle.

Girl makes a damn fine analogy

She is at least a person you can disagree with and respect her dissenting opinions

If she wasn’t attractive and an overweight flake Karen looking birch, you would not agree with her comment at all

I honestly think she isn't attractive because she has 10 lbs of makeup on

Which part of her comment would we disagree with? Feel free to quote her, and highlight the pertinent parts.

Wait, wasn't it Y'all Qaeda that literally just stormed the Capitol in an act of insurrection chanting "hang Mike Pence"?
Pretty clear to everyone what side is closer to being Islamic Terrorist groups.
Free enterprise deciding that 6 Dr. Suess books that no one cares about won't be continued to be printed due to racist stereotypes is not anything like an Islamic Terrorist group.
Wanting to establish a theocracy where you torture gays into "conversion", hate everyone different than you and reject science and journalism is kind of a lot like an Islamic Terrorist group.
I mean, poor southerners and rural ME peoples are pretty similar in a lot of ways.

Aha. I've been comparing this shite to ISIS. Tulsi agrees with me. Tulsi will soon be 'investigated' by the FBI.
Public figures who go against the establishment in any way are targeted by the government.

Islamist terrorists and communists have a lot of their authoritarianism in common.

Well I didn’t mean you.. I meant people in general. That’s how screwed up or society is these days
Donald trumpet can say he loves black people and everyone would call him racist
Rosie O’Donnell can say she loves black people and win the Nobel peace prize for it

Tulsi is right.
She's been part of the problem too, however. She has ridden towards the bottom with the Democratic party that fostered and enabled this modern environment of "cancel-culturism".
She's smart and she's hot, but during the primaries she openly agreed with, and pushed, far left Socialist ideology and policies.
If she wants to stand against what's happening, she needs to renounce the DNC and marxism, and move to the middle- where most Americans actually are.

She’s already done that with flying colors. She ratted on the DNC for rigging the 2016 election against Bernie. If that’s not renouncing them, I don’t know what is.

Definitely. And Tulsi is a liberal in the truist sense of the word.
Posted on 3/11/21 at 1:48 pm to jmarto1
With or without the makeup, she's still as hot as a FIRECRACKER.

This is such an insanely stupid reach. It's just a nonsensical statement.
It's like you people haven't learned any of the lessons of the Global War on Terror.
