Is “cancel culture” itself just not another form of free speech?
- mellosouls 3y agoOnly in the sense "you're free to say only what I agree with"
- LeafItAlone 3y agoWho is the “I”? Can one sole person single-handedly cancel another?
- mellosouls 3y agoSure, if they are powerful enough either individually or in influence, but cancel culture is generally a mob/groupthink activity.
- cubefox 3y agoFiring someone over speech is not even a speech act. It's censorship.
- LeafItAlone 3y agoMust a business remain associated with an individual who goes against their “brand” and whose views may be costing them sales?
- cubefox 3y agoAre you claiming you are irresponsible for denouncing that individual in the first place in an attempt to get them fired?
