#MeToo and Cancel Culture: Friday is bring your own torches and pitchforks day!

Dude, something is wrong with your link.

Also, thank you for agreeing that we need to accept any and all abuse and accusations that come our way without raising a hand.

You may consider us all a bunch of fascists, even though we tolerate you guys here, but we can agree that violence or hitting back or speaking aggressively is NEVER the answer. It just gives more reason to hurt us.

I deleted my post. But hey it doesn't matter, because you're still using the same logical fallacy:

Hey, while Cancel culture is certainly a more major problem of the left, it also is creeping into the right as well. Some dean from the University of Alabama was forced to resign from some old tweets about the American flag, and that can't be accepted as a good way moving forward either.

What comes around, goes around. If the Left doesn't want to get hit with their own tools, then they shouldn't use them in the first place.

EDIT: And I would like to take notw that the article is pretty much "wah, wah, why are you hitting the Left? They will just hit you harder!"

It maybe because Hotzendorf retired and ceased to do much in the public eye, how many people even know he existed?

He was honored in Austria as a hero and there are still streets named after him in multiple Austrian cities. Despite him being decisive factor in starting war that doomed AH empire and making sure they lost the war through series of absolutely idiotic decisions.

eh... it was also "firing someone for politics that you are not certain is negatively affecting their job performance is bad."

That guy was being racist in a socially acceptable way, therefore he deserves to get fired as far as I'm concerned. Turnabout's fair.

Well of course, even if you ARE racist against whites, it’s not racism due to whites having “the Power”

So it’s okay to purposely avoid them and keep them from positions, I mean they’ll probably have “the privilage” to easily get into other jobs like all those insufficiently educated white trash who have more chances of becoming an accountant than someone who’s not white but got all honors and actually has skills and attended some expensive university

You know what, how about everybody replace universities with online education, completely?

Franz Conrad von Hötzendorf was an Austrian-Hungarian general who, more than anyone else, was responsible for starting World War 1. He pushed for invading Serbia, because he thought it was necessary to save the Habsburg Empire from... something; I'm not even sure he knew exactly what.

I can somewhat explain that one for you. You have to look at Serbia in the context of someone from Austria Hungary and it's prior history. Nationalist states like Prussia and Sardinia Piedmont had already in prior years used nationalism as a casus belli to attack austria and nations in her sphere, taking lands that had formerly belonged to her and weakening her greatly in the process of uniting their nations (and in the case of the Italians still had ambitions on other parts of her territory). So when another hostile nationlist state in the Balkans emerged in Serbia the fear was that it would go on to copy the other two and cost the empire Croatia and it's other Balkan holdings. As such it's not that surprising that Austria wanted Serbia destroyed as soon as possible. Of course it didn't work out for them but welcome to bad planning and subpar armies.
 
Serbia was not interested in Croatia before WWI (despite large Serbian population in some parts), the bone of contention with AH was Bosnia, with significant Serbian population, which AH annexed in 1878, terminally souring releations with both Serbia and Russia (long story). Ultimate goal of Austrian Drang nach Osten was Thessaloniki, so Serbia was just one of the obstacles to this idiotic goal.
 
Say, anywhere I can read up on all this history? Reading Robert E. Howard’s works are making me inspired to read up on Stone Age to Iron Age civilizations already

Aye but tell that to the Austrians. They almost definitely didn't have perfect knowledge of what Serbia's goals were so it's hardly surprising some would assume the worst. Add that goals eventually change or expand in scope ("now that we've united the Bosnian Serbs we should unite the Croatian ones" isn't that much of a stretch goal) and it did have the potential to eventually try to become a threat.

Not reading per say, but I love listening to history podcasts like The History of Rome by Mike Duncan, and watching videos from Youtube channels like The Great War.

Didn’t he make one regarding the Celtic Genocide which is argued by some to NOT be a Genocide, also compared it to Europeans VS Native Americans but WITHOUT a plague to wipe them out beforehand and they’re dangerous as fuck even to more advanced Romans(being only a few centimeters taller is scary to them somehow!!!)

In that same vein I'd recommend Kings and Generals for relatively quick videos on a wide variety of conflicts, History Time for around 40 minute looks, BazBattles who also tends to take looks into battles and the circumstances leading up to them and Historia Civilis who's mainly done Caesar related things although he's also done a bit about Alexander and other topics like the Spartan government (he is from what I can tell not quite fond of Caesar so bear that in mind.)

And above all else, there's the bastion of historical knowledge and fact that is the History Channel on television compared to whom all other sources of information pale in comparison.

Humor aside don't actually watch history channel it's awful and their Facebook bits which actually are historically related are basically lifted wholesale from Wikipedia so you'd be better of cutting out the middle man and reading that yourself.
 
Anyways, back to the topic of the thread; the fallout of Vic Mignogna's hearing has been interesting. Kiwifarms in particular have started to paint the #IStandWithVic crowd with the same brush they painted the #KickVic crowd with; mocking basically everyone but Vic himself for being, in their words, "autistic spergs" for caring about any of this.

Goes to show just because they don’t like SJW’s does not mean they act as a hive mind or agree on everything

They're their own people and laugh at people acting "autistic" on the internet.

Despite my avatar and username I haven't done this at least. When the case eventually concludes I'm going to put on my signature on whether the Real Beard actually manages to salvage a win or lose the case.
