You keep talking about "non-extremists" but you are not telling us what you mean by that.

- eanzenberg 7y agoI don't want to get political, but do you think Joe Rogan is an extremist? Jeanine Cummins? What about Ben Shapiro? These are people that the MSM is trying to cancel quite literally right now.
- jessaustin 7y agoHaha the idea that incumbent news firms can do anything to Rogan is kind of hilarious. What are they going to do, shut down the internet and UFC? Close all the comedy clubs? He is completely insulated from anything they can do.
- potatoz2 7y ago"cancel" doesn't really mean anything here. I don't think Joe Rogan or Ben Shapiro should get fired from the average workplace (I'm not familiar with Jeanine Cummins) unless they insist on trying to impose their views. I don't think they should be banned from presumably neutral platforms (reddit, Facebook, Twitter). On the other hand, I don't think they should be given a column in other media publications and they're more than fair game for ridicule and criticism. I don't think they have a moral right to publish in any subgroup within ostensibly neutral platforms (Facebook group, subreddit).
- sagichmal 7y agoNobody is trying to cancel Joe Rogan. I don't know who Jeanine Cummins is. Ben Shapiro is definitely an extremist.
- CapricornNoble 7y ago>>>Nobody is trying to cancel Joe Rogan. Oh I bet the Woke Twitterati (tm) would if they could, but Joe Rogan is in the same stratosphere as Ricky Gervais and Dave Chappelle where they are effectively impervious to cancellation barring some Harvey Weinstein/Bill Cosby-level misconduct. https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/joe-rogan-cancel-culture-smears/ https://www.hollywoodintoto.com/joe-rogan-cancel-culture-sme... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvAc7002eRM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zvAc7002eRM
