Cancel culture has to be the stupidest thing reactionaries believe.
Who the fuck is actually canceled? Bill Cosby has a new show coming out, none of Epstein's guy friends are in jail and neither of the two most recent racist creeps had any trouble getting elected president no matter how many brave women came forward.
They're complaining about cancel culture now, oh I've got a different kind of canceling on my mind.
:brace-cowboy:
They're upset that their cultural hegemony is starting to require more violence to enforce.
They're mad they get blocked from Facebook for saying slurs
The "cancel culture" scare is 100% reactionary projection. They want to be victims so bad so they imagine their enemies doing the same thing to them that they themselves do.
"cancel campaign waged by trans activists"
There it is again. The blue haired college student strikes fear into the hearts of everyone in power while everyone else gets brushed aside. It's so weird to me. It has to be sinister, a technique, something.
The thing about Twitter is that YOU CAN MAKE A NEW ACCOUNT YOU COWARD
The blue haired college student strikes fear into the hearts of everyone in power while everyone else gets brushed aside.
The enemy is both extremely weak and extremely powerful in fascism. That's got to be it.
These nerds are the biggest crybabies ever. They whine and whine and whine because some other nerd was mean to them online. I wish I could just shove them all into a giant locker.
Burned alive at the pyre for being a witch versus being told to shut the fuck up for my shit jokes. Wow, the latter really is worse.
Just to point out, it's called the Spanish Inquisition because the regular Papal Inquisition, you know, the one that burned Giordano Bruno, imprisioned Galileo (who frankly had it coming) and got its start murdering Cathars, was considered too lenient and flaky for the Spanish monarchy.
So the Royals got some priests together and started torturing Jews and anyone else in reach until they converted/re-converted/told them where their bank accounts were. This was considered a little bit too murdery (by, again, Pope Murders .inc) and there was a lot of talk about declaring it heretical itself.
Which is to say, no, the trans lobby is not the Spanish Inquisition and you do not, in fact, have to hand it to them.
(who frankly had it coming)
Bad take. Terrible take. Rethink this
I genuinely can't think of an excuse for this take except being a massive chud or massive ignorance.
Terrible. Awful. Wrong. Just a complete nonsense take. Not even the Catholic church believes this. The fucking pope came out and admitted they called that one wrong. There are multiple official Catholic decrees and official ststements by the church admitting that Gallileo was in the right. You should never find yourself in a position where you're defending the Catholic church more than the Catholic church is.
Galileo was in active talks about the content of his book with the church, and the content was deemed fine, then because the church was getting owned elsewhere in Europe they do a 180 on him to avoid losing face without even telling the cardinal serving as liaison.
Ffs They demanded he add counterarguments, bad counterarguments, to his own work in his book, lied to him through the entire affair and imprisoned him for life for being rude.
You should never find yourself in a position where you’re defending the Catholic church
more than the Catholic church is.
Everybody deserves basic courtesy. You extremists are so rude.
Critical support for the papacy in their struggle against the heliocents
He directly took on the Jesuit academic establishment over comets being atmospheric phenomena, and refused to back down, so they went gunning for him.
imprisioned Galileo (who frankly had it coming)
Ah yes, allow me to just accept a flat-earther's historical analysis
Until Kepler (which Galileo basically blew off as a crank) it's arguable that the Tychonic model had better experimental and theoretical support.
He was fine until he picked a fight with the Jesuits over what comets were (he was wrong) and then (possibly accidentally) called the Pope a simpleton in his book.
Wow, saying the Inquisition was good is a dumb take.
Saying being cancelled matters is dumber.
If you are not part of the social circle of those Canceling you, it does nothing to you.
It only can impact you if the idea of being disliked hurts you.
The one who seem to complain about cancel culture the most are academics and journalists, whose careers depend upon a reputable social circle and a lot of eyeballs on their work. That's how I've interpreted it. If you're just someone on Twitter it doesn't matter.
this is why cancel culture is good because it makes journalists and shitty academics cry
some decent people have been cancelled, but that's kinda the price you pay for being online.
The Cultural Revolution has been caricatured. I mean, it was far more defensible than modern-day cancel culture is, especially the cancel campaigns waged by Joe Rogan activists
I say as teenage Red Guards beat me up and publicly humiliate me.
The risk of being mildly criticised for acting like a rotten asshole by people without any power to hurt me materially is exactly the same as being tortured and murdered for having the wrong ancestors.
None of you have considered the true death tolls of calling someone a corncob
Matt Walsh just seems like he's trying to have the worst possible take on every issue.
Matt Walsh is an unabashed theocratic fascist and so this is exactly zero amount of surprising to hear from him.
