- fumar 5y agoAre you saying that boogeymen from 1950s have the same media reach as boogeymen in 2022? The medium and reach make a difference, no?

- breakyerself 5y agoYes. Like the boogey man currently called cancel culture.CRT is another.
- the_doctah 5y agoI'm sorry, are you trying to say cancel culture doesn't exist?
- breakyerself 5y agoI'm sorry are you trying to say there aren't prominent conspiracy nutters spreading misinformation about the pandemic?
- version_five 5y agoThose things certainly don't require that we break societal norms or use them as an excuse for taking any kind of extreme action. There are lots of ways to constructively disagree with things, my point is that we've strayed from those into new territory where complaining and outrage are the end and not the means
- breakyerself 5y agoTheres actual government censorship being implemented as a response to the moral panic over CRT. I think your concerns are misplaced.
