Liberals Worried That Without Cancel Culture They'd Actually Have To Defend Their Ideas

U.S.—As cancel culture has come under attack in recent weeks, liberals have began to grow worried that it might get canceled. And if that happens, they'll be in the terrible situation of having to discuss and defend their ideas with people who disagree with them.

"Imagine how horrible it would be if instead of just canceling someone, we had to discuss differing viewpoints and then defend our ideas," said one journalist as he searched a Quiznos employee's old tweets. "It's much easier to simply silence them through cancelation, guaranteeing that we'll never have to examine our own views, come to a better understanding of the other side, and maybe even change our position sometimes."

It's especially hard for the far left, as Communists much prefer silencing people and exiling them to having to explain their defense of a system that has killed over 100 million people. "It's what Joseph Stalin would have done," said Portland anarcho-communist Jayde Wilson. "You didn't see him worrying about defending his ideas -- he just canceled people -- straight to the gulag."

Great article in today's Age on cancel culture. The far left are attacking Liberalism, trying to limit free speech and trying to the equivalent of the school bully in the playground.

It is a type of Macarthiasm and we should always call it out. In the UK, no less than Samon Rushdie and JK Rowling among many others are leading the attack against it.

We should stand against it at every opportunity however the risk for artists is getting a black mark and so missing out on work.

This is how the left Marxists thinks and works :-
The left is allowed to lie and exaggerate as much as they like.
If anyone else state facts that don't comply with left think then they need to silenced and cancelled.

The fact that many on the moderate Left don't speak out against this cancel culture is an example of their moral cowardice. As I said many times in the past, their outrage is only when the bad deed is committed by the West.

Another example of cancel culture:

There is no moderate left after all the back slapping that went on to lead to these times.

This issue was brought up years ago to what essentially was support from lefties. Its not just all of a sudden.
Remember "climate deniers" that eventually devolved into "nazi"?
Attacking anyone with an opposing view?
Jordan book banning/burnings, then vilifying the man as some sort of white supremacist?
Numerous times backing crazy stuff. Even the time that kid was vilified for smiling when it was actually the Indian standing over him. He was made out to be the aggressor by idiot actors and media.

This has been on the boil for a decade. And the left have decided to ride that wave all the way to its own special brand of fascism.

People probably forgot this too:

A Project Veritas video released Tuesday showed a man identified as a campaign organizer for Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Bernard Sanders saying “cities burn” if President Trump wins reelection and predicting violence against police at the 2020 Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee.

Asked what would happen if Mr. Trump is reelected, the man described as Sanders campaign field organizer Kyle Jurek said, “F–ing cities burn,” adding, “I mean, we don’t have a lot of time left, we have to save f–ing human civilization.”

That was back in January and lo and behold cities are burning from the leftist element. It was a planned event waiting for a trigger.
Wonder where we have seen that before.

Democracy is rule of law, not rule of mob.

Although I regard the New York Times as one of the best overseas newspapers, it too is succumbing to the relentless attempt by the Left to force a one-world view on its journalists and columnists.

Writer/Editor Bari Weiss has resigned and his resignation letter should be mandatory reading for all those who wish to understand the subtle and not so subtle censorship by the Left. This is a tweet from Bill Maher on the resignation, followed by a quote from the resignation letter and a link to the complete letter.



Instead, a new consensus has emerged in the press, but perhaps especially at this paper: that truth isn’t a process of collective discovery, but an orthodoxy already known to an enlightened few whose job is to inform everyone else.

Sounds like the left wing of the U.K Labor Party, has got itself in a bit of trouble.
https://www.smh.com.au/world/europe...urnalist-former-staffers-20200723-p55el7.html
from the article:
London: Labour leader Keir Starmer and his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn are on course for an ugly public showdown following an unprecedented admission that the party had defamed a prominent BBC journalist and seven staffers who blew the whistle on anti-Semitism.

Starmer, a former director of public prosecutions who took over after the opposition's thumping 2019 election defeat, on Wednesday declared Labour was "under new management" amid the escalating clash with Corbyn and his hard-Left supporters.

Earlier, Labour revealed it would pay damages to seven former staffers who broke non-disclosure agreements to appear on the BBC's Panorama program to raise serious concerns over how the party handled complaints about anti-Semitic conduct.
Labour released a statement before the episode went to air in mid-2019 labelling the whistleblowers "disaffected former staff" with "personal and political axes to grind".
Labour also attacked Panorama journalist John Ware before and after the episode, accusing the journalist of "deliberate and malicious misrepresentations designed to mislead the public".
The party on Wednesday said it would pay damages and court costs - estimated to total more than £600,000 ($1 million) - to Ware and the former staffers of Labour's governance and legal unit who had all launched legal action.

Watch carefully what happens in the USA because it will eventually come to Australia.

Think about your children.

Sooner or later you will have to pick a side.

One Pr Gad Saad has much to say about that.

I'm really looking forward to his upcoming book, The Parasitic Mind

Just now. Dropped pretty 19 year old daughter off to get bread. In Melbourne.

On the way back to the car she made eye contact with a 60 year old guy who was not wearing a mask.

Obviously a woman hater, called her a sheepy. I got out of the car, I'm fairly imposing. Stepped in and said to him you are the brainwashed sheepie, believing all the hate. Think about your behavior.

Left him there.
Won't do any good. He is obviously in the loop.

Did you read about the USA Professor who committed suicide yesterday? Did a whole lot of hate speech, Uni wanted to be rid of him, paid him out a big sum. He celebrated with 9 of his hate mates, a month later he is dead. Hate is not a positive emotion.

My eldest sister is the opposite and I want to be more like her. She loves everyone, practically brought up a 4th girl with her other 3 daughters as her family was dysfunctional and still is friends with the mum. Now President of the local Rotary and a last year her and her husband hired a chateaux in France. 63 townspeople, all friends came along.

Love not hate.
Morrison is doing a good job bringing people together as are most world leaders.
The USA is a basket case which we all need to reject and not let their poison infect us.

Really dumb 5hit. Good on you.

I'm not a pro mask guy, but if ones feels they should wear one, do it without fear or favour.

It's the law at present in Melbourne. To be fair my daughter probably made a disapproving look. Still..

One problem is that some people are a little too quick to vent their anger, and in doing so, have neglected to consider that there are those in the community, who are, for health reasons, unable to comply with this requirement.

But then what else could one expect from, members of that "useful army", commandeered by power seeking totalitarian puppeteers?!
