The 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.

#12Next, 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?
FYI, you're already supposed to pay all your taxes, and not doing so is already a crime.

The irony is so thick, it is palpable. Rightist politics suggest that criminals should be locked away and have their right to reintegrate into society stripped when they are let out. But if there are social consequences to my actions, it's because of cancel culture.

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?
Ostracism was democratic process, there was a vote and majority decided. "Cancellation" is nothing like that.

#16I'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.

Honestly why? I've said a lot of things in my youth that I don't stand by any more. Surely there must be room for people to grow and mature.

Why do you not use your real name to post this?

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.
-10 to TameAntelope's social credit score
They are now below the cutoff point and no longer have access to public transport or certain dining establishments.

Viral ostracism is quite different from the local-scale shunning of the past. Having a torrent of people shunning you for someone disagreeing with you is unjust.

You're asserting that those two things are ironic/opposite/hypocritical, but you haven't explained why. Legal consequences and social consequences can't serve the same seat in an analogy without some serious explanation.
