#2The irony is so thick, it is palpable. Leftist politics suggest that criminals should have a second chance and be able to reintegrate into society. But do something completely legal that I don't like, and you're cancelled forever.

#3I'm excited for accountability to catch up to the Internet, for far too long people have been able to poison the well. Now, when you say something, you have to stand by it.
This is a good thing, and I hope more things like this come soon.

There is likely a substantial part of that cohort that would like to change that to make racist speech be explicity illegal.

#5Next, couple it with more taxes that everyone must pay or your score is ruined (kinda like not paying the broadcasting fee or public transport fares in Germany) and you've got yourself a gravy train. What are they gonna do, shoot you?

"say something, you have to stand by it." is great when it's against people you don't like.
Just don't complain when it comes after you.

FYI, you're already supposed to pay all your taxes, and not doing so is already a crime.

Employers and social police be aware that TameAntelope has stated in previous comments: "I'm actually pretty terrible at learning new things." Don't expect him to learn new social rules or new skills very easily. Low social credit points here.

You all keep calling things being cancelled when they're just plain old social ostracism of the past. Why can't you all just admit you don't like it when someone else does the social ostracizing instead of giving it a new fancy word to distance yourselves from the same behavior you all do?

…until the woke mob shifts in a direction you didn’t anticipate and people are calling for your head, asking you to be “accountable” for something you said 10 years ago.
