Cancel Culture is alive and well in 2021

Cancel culture..... is that a statement? like we should cancel culture or something?

 

True, unfortunately the only way for someone to actually get cancelled, is if they cancel themselves. Any press is good press my friends when considering cancel culture qualms.

Cheers!

 

check out James Lindsay interviews and his website New Discourses. He is probably the foremost expert on this neo-racist cancel culture.

 

One thing I have noticed is that it is almost always not the people who are the victims of said "offence" that are the ones actually offended. Almost always middle to upper class whites getting mad on their behalf. A good example of this is the belief in some circles that Speedy Gonzales is racist, even though actual Mexicans love him.

I just wish people would stop getting mad over things that dont matter.

 

It's a sneaky way to appear virtuous without having to possess any virtue.

 

Definitely. It's the domain of people who have no real problems to worry about so they have to invent new ones.

 

While I'm bipartisan for the most part, I will say I find the left to be the more crazier of the two political parties in the U.S. I usually stay away from YouTube personalities but I've found Larry Elder to be a great one who highlights these issues and he does so not only with facts but with sources for the facts.

 

Are you damn serious? What? Leave Speedy alone!

 

yeah man. I'm actually center leftish and I don't care for either party. There are nuts on both sides but while the nuts on the right are marginalized by mainstream right (think QAnon) the nuts on the left are the mainstream (Trump is a Russian agent and white supremacists are hiding around every corner planning an insurrection). It's scary as hell but really entertaining. I like Larry Elder too.

 

Yeah, its crazy. They did the same thing with the Mario Odyssey videogame, where people got offended Mario wore a sombrero while actual Mexicans were like "This is awesome, hes embracing our culture!"

 

Did you see the foot-washing rituals at blm rallies? I'm not super religious but I know where that came from. It was the story of Jesus who washed the feet of his disciples. They are placing themselves in the roll of the savior. The lack of self awareness is stunning.

 

The news is to blame for this. It breeds hate and negativity more than anything else.

 

pretty much sums it.

 

Exactly. This is why I rarely sympathise with journalists. They’re driving the culture of hate.

 

European culture cant be canceled

 

That is quotable.

 

I'm on the left for certain (other) reasons, but I couldn't agree with your sentiment more. Some of the most racist people I know are the biggest virtue signalers regarding race, and I have seen people blow their parents wealth on videogames and drugs only to play the victim.

Rising above victim status is one of the most surefire paths to success possible.
