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

    I don't like that he was never properly punished for what he did, and I like even less that he didn't express remorse for doing it, or tried to atone. What makes it worse is that he attempted to lie about what happened, painting himself as the victim. I'm not even angry at the guy; I'm just...

    Assuming they even last that long, considering that the feminists are already being targeted for ideological purging thanks to how they inherently clash with transgenderism.

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

    Note, however, that in spite of the fact that they always condemned relationships between older men and younger women, even when the latter was in her twenties or even thirties, they never seemed to give a crap when it was an older woman with a younger man, no matter how young the latter was...

    While I'd like to believe that'd be the case, they'd probably just run to the establishment like a bully does to their parents, and paint themselves as victims like they do every time their targets push back against their abuse.

    Capitulation to truly hateful and oppressive ideologies has never led to social peace; rather, it empowers and emboldens them.

    Then I didn't explain her feelings on the matter properly, because that in no way represents my mother. It was the specific kind of joke that Chris Rock made that bothered her, making fun of a woman who is losing her hair due to disease (which apparently is a special kind of suffering for a...

    My mother (who is very white) would disagree with you; she thinks the slap was entirely justified, in light of what Chris Rock said about Will Smith's wife. In her words "you do not make jokes about a woman like that".

    Of those who oppose the regressive left, some aren't looking to destroy the authoritarian power they wield over others; instead, they wish to take it for themselves.

    ...Okay, I'm convinced; Cosby did not rape those women. Or at least, I'd need to see some pretty convincing evidence beyond parading a series of women claiming he did, before I change my mind again.

    I personally don't support the death penalty for any crime for a number of reasons; not least of which being that, once you execute someone, you can't take it back once evidence later comes to light proving the accused's innocence. Also, turns out it's a hell of a lot more expensive to execute...

    Perhaps, but I've heard too many try to argue that death is the only reasonable punishment for any crime.

    https://nypost.com/2021/06/30/bill-cosby-to-be-released-after-court-overturns-conviction/?utm_medium=SocialFlow&utm_source=NYPTwitter&utm_campaign=SocialFlow I'm not sure how I should feel about this. I was convinced that he did actually rape those girls, but the circumstance in which he was...

    And another convention has preemptively banned TSR. This is getting kinda scary; I can't remember seeing anyone canceled this hard, this quickly, with this little justification before. This may be a sign that the regressive left are growing more bold; we're probably only a few years away from...

    Sounds like he doesn't understand that leaving in and of itself is going to cause suffering to his former bandmates, because not only is it not going to do anything to stop the abuse being hurled their way (as the regressive left never let go once they smell blood), I also doubt the band is...

    True; but it's not often those people who end up getting "canceled". It's gotten to the point now where the simple fact that the media is even discussing an accusation, is enough to make me suspect its legitimacy.

    One thing I really cannot stand about Fox News is their willingness to believe that everyone in the entertainment industry is a rapist and a child molester. It make them useful idiots whenever the regressive left wants to "cancel" individuals in that industry, who would otherwise find allies on...

    If I could make a further point, whatever is to be done with any statue should be decided with a vote from the community; not the will of a violent mob. Because it renders the social contract, the very legitimacy of the state over the individual, null and void, and teaches people that they only...

    Everyone's a scumbag; it's just a matter of figuring out why. Everyone's also a saint, and to deny either is to deny the reality of human nature; that we are all equally capable of both good and evil. Cosby's history of sexual abuse is extensive; but he also was one of the few voices in...

    Yes, but I I'm not sure if that was unintentional on their part. Seems to me the response amounts to basically "your criticism is spot on, so you'd better shut up if you know what's good for you."

    Mind you, many of the people who signed that thing never once stopped believing that Trump and "right-wing authoritarianism" are both "major threats to liberal society"; their crime is merely the fact that they dared to suggest the left should support freedom of speech, even for their enemies...
