People grumbling about the views of a dead person is pretty damned harmless, isn't it? JK Rowling is "canceled" but she's still getting book and movie deals. Like Dave Chapelle, "cancelled" is a highly profitable status.
- gremlinsinc 4y agoAlso these people make bank being in the public eye, the only power regular people have against them controlling every idea or creating negative movements is social media, a power we didn't have in the 80s and one that's often a two edge sword. The problem is people thinking they actually have a right or privilege to a platform, you don't and never did. Nobody had a 'platform' in the 80s, but now everybody thinks they're an internet celebrity if they have 1000+ followers. You're not, if you say something bad you should be rightfully held accountable for it. Any rich celebrity or business person like Elon Musk, could get shunned by all of society but they'd still do pretty good because of the money, pretty sure they won't cry too hard on their private jets.
