And what are the consequences of you getting cancelled? Really? You lose your job? People are fired everyday for silly things or no reason at all. But would you really want to cont…

I think that’s the point. “Cancel cultural” has always been around in some form or another when you challenge the cultural norms of some society or institution. The outrage over it…

Great point.

Please explain how I missed it. Or do we just disagree?

That’s actually my point. Overestimating the reach of cancel culture because you live in a liberal enclave.

I don’t know that we can attribute doxing or death threats to “cancel culture”. It’s certainly unjustified outrage. However, it does beg the question what exactly “being cancelled”…

Have we started killing cancelled people? Who has been “cancelled” anyways? What punishments have they endured? A lost job at a very public position? As someone wisely pointed out,…

Well, elaborate please.

As oisdk points out, I would consider the very real threat of violence different than a celebrity getting their contract cancelled. But that’s an important point to also make. Ther…

I agree. I would like for someone to enumerate all the people who have been “cancelled” and then compare it to those that have been violently attacked.

He had a habit of always making the hero of his narrative the “brave startup founder”.

Think of a single Super Bowl ad. It’s not that much if you think about recurring TV spots.

Oh forgot about Russians in Syria: http://sn4hr.org/blog/2019/09/30/54271/

Try 100,000. And it’s a civil war mixed with jihadism. You can’t attribute all violence to the US. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/world/2019/...

Ok radical. I served 9 years in the military and no one I worked with was evil. Service members honestly believed they were doing good in the world and many felt some of the wars t…

And show me where the body count is 10 million in Yemen caused at the US’s hands.

Huh? I can’t speak for the Chinese, but the Russians subjugated Soviet bloc states and killed millions. This includes incursions into Afghanistan and the Caucuses, invasion of Ukra…

There’s not really a European identity like American’s have. You can live in Texas or Idaho, but consider yourself American. I’ve never met a Spaniard, German, or Englishmen consid…

First, the pageantry in most sports is not paid primarily by the military. It’s true that military will lend a color guard (those are the service members holding the flag), and wil…

That’s a really naive attitude. You’re living in Pax Americana thinking there are going to be no more wars. The reality is, Russia and China continue to grow as threats to their ne…

You sir, have not seen most soldiers.

People need to stop seeing the military as the problem and rather the electorate that votes for politicians that lead us into wars. The military without a war is just a big gun clu…

Your attitude (and people with similar) are the problem. If we isolated for four weeks, wore masks, and focused on contact tracing early on, we wouldn’t be in this predicament. But…

My sentiments exactly.
