What’s even more hilarious are all the anti cancel culture warriors from the past few years going on about how the Kimmel situation isn’t cancel culture.
Especially since this is probably the only incident in the last couple of decades where the cancelation was a result of the government threatening consequences unless a specific individual was not canceled.
- lenkite 1y agoCancel culture has been firmly adopted by all political sides now. It is simply too powerful and effective a weapon to be not used.
- slg 1y agoIt is a pretty big difference when the left wing cancel culture is a grassroots efforts of the populace trying to enforce moral behavior versus the right wing cancel culture we are seeing today in which the government is the one exerting pressure and not the populace.
- Pxtl 1y agoYup. It always comes back to "both sides are bad, so vote Republican". Dril said it best. https://x.com/dril/status/473265809079693312?lang=en https://x.com/dril/status/473265809079693312?lang=en
- coldtea 1y ago>is a grassroots efforts of the populace Oh, sweet summer child. It's as "grassroots" as the Cultural Revolution (party elites encouraging and directing mobilized workers and farmers to play out their power plays) was grassroot. The FBI and others telling Twitter what to censor, the goverment agencies threating companies to comply, academics and prestigious news media on lockstep, nebulous NGOs and "think tanks" suggesting what's fake news and what's not, tech behemoths collaborating, even banks having a go at it. In other words, it's as top down as the current Republican shit is.
