The reverse cancel culture going on for the people celebrating Charlie Kirk’s assassination is really fascinating to me. The liberals being cancelled are so used to being on “Team Good” they can’t believe what they’re saying is subject to consequences.
That’s only for racists and anti-vaxxers. At least when I was posting about covid, I KNEW I was saying something with which sycophantic pearl-clutchers and virtue signalers would probably take issue. Feels like these clowns have policed the cultural discourse for so long they're totally blindsided. Getting canned from their jobs left and right, didn’t see it coming at all.
I don’t know if this is a good thing — yes, these people would cancel you in a heartbeat for expressing even the mildest dissent regarding evil totalitarian policies, and yes it’s classless and vile to celebrate the death of someone who engaged in peaceful discourse just because you don’t like his view, but losing your livelihood for making a stupid and classless post is draconian. They too are just engaging in speech we don’t like. They didn’t shoot Charlie Kirk.
On the other hand, it’s hard not to have some schadenfreude seeing the intolerant subjected to their own medicine. As I said I don’t know if it’s a good thing, but it might be necessary.
More just a fascinating thing because unlike people who dissented during covid and knew the compliant mob was coming, seems like these idiots hadn’t the faintest clue.
I really like nicotine, but nicotine on demand is spiritual poison. As much as I'd like to buy a pack of Velos, I know it's a mistake. Better off sticking to 2-3x weekly cigars.
