Cancel culture isn't particularly new, either - the name is, but it was going on when I was a kid. The only difference was that the same people who are cheering it on now (like, I'm sure, Popehat) are the same ones who were raging against it when it was the religious right doing it.
- pessimizer 5y ago> when it was the religious right doing it. The religious right continues to do it. They've somehow been grandfathered in while we gather lynch mobs to attack pink-haired community college liberal arts professors.
- ameminator 5y agoIf only the people who condemned the religious right would also condemn the fanatic left, I'm sure the world would be a more consistent place.
- ssully 5y agoIt would be a consistent place assuming the people who condemn the fanatic left also condemn the religious right.
- throwaway0a5e 5y ago>people who condemned the religious right would also condemn the fanatic left There's a word those people. It's like "librarian" but with some extra letters thrown in.
