Serious question. So in this age of wokeness and cancel culture yada, yada, yada... what is the thing that can't be canceled or messed with? What thing is at the top that we are all supposed to aspire to be? Black, White, Asian, Straight, Gay, Man, Woman? What combination is going to shut everyone up so we can move on?

"What is one topic I'm allowed to be bigoted about?"

Aspire not to be an *******. Assholes will always get canceled.

No, that won't work. Pretty sure 99% of people are assholes... that is just a human thing.

No, you’re against free speech. That’s the truth. Free speech means free speech, period. Can’t call to violence, but you can say whatever you want.

Only Nazis and tyrants tell other people what they can and cannot say. Assholes try to micromanage everything they can, because they are nothing themselves. Empty people who are worthless are the people who to censor and control others, because that’s how they feel powerful and like they aren’t worthless.

This whole nation was started by rebels that hated tyranny. Censoring yourself is how you lose the individualism of your own life.

I refuse to be part of the the “repeat after me” cult. The USA is about leading, not following. I have freedom of speech and I will fight for the right.

Your censorship is infinitely more dangerous to human health than bigotry.

Canceling just means that the majority of people think you are a bigot or *******. This has always existed and is nothing new. I absolutely defend everyone's right to freely be an *******. If the majority of the population doesn't like you it's not censorship.

I don't agree with social media companies banning for unpopular opinions.

Cancel culture is a social media thing anyway, which only makes up 1/7 of the people. To think that 14% of people is somehow a majority is really playing with the math.

If you support free speech then you support cancel culture. Cancel culture is nothing more than people voicing their opinion majority or not.

I don’t support anything. Religion was the original cancel culture before cancel culture was a term and I did t support them either. It’s a fake term used by people who make no difference to me anyway.

When I say I don’t support anything, I mean that my support isn’t needed for anything, so is irrelevant. It’s another fake virtue so I can pretend I care about something, when what I really care about is that people think I care. My support for the actual issue is unneeded.

Religion and cancel culture are not comparable lol. And kind of weird to assume everyone is like you and doesn't support what they believe in.

Religion cancelled people by silencing them and making moral accusations to guilt them, and if that didn’t work they simply killed them. You’re too smart to not see the comparison I’m making between religion and current cancel culture. The similarities couldn’t be more stark.

 

[SlugButter]

The killing just hasn’t started yet.

moral accusations

A bit of an oversimplification. The origin of these moral principles needs to be called into question. You are too smart not to see how religion exploits fundamental human nature and and utilizes false claims and other techniques. Religions are not created by a society, but an individual or small group. Then the infectious properties of religion do the rest.

How exactly do you think big social movements happen? How do you think abolitionism, the women's movement, gay rights movement, and other cultural shifts happen?

What is the horrific sin that cancel culture commits? Cancel culture is the product of many individuals collectively denouncing a person or entity and refusing to associate. This is NOTHING NEW. The internet does facilitate this phenomenons growth. Any group of people can cancel a person or entity within that group. People outside of this group may disagree. Seems like you are getting upset about free speech to me.

I get the sense that you have fallen victim to fear mongering.

Both sides say the exact same thing. The right accuses the left of stifling free speech and the left accuses the right of the same thing. I could basically change a few words in this paragraph and claim Sean Hannity said it and no one would know the difference. Both sides would love to cancel the free speech of the other side and claim the moral majority said so. 2 sides of the same coin.
