It's such common sense that only the educated could fail to believe it.

Having gone after Dr. Seuss,

No one really "went after" Dr. Seuss though -- his *estate* chose to take certain older works out of publication, and Seuss himself had said that he was deeply ashamed of the racism in his early propaganda work.

He was certainly aware of the hypocrisy in that a good portion of said propaganda was made *against* racism in the United States (he harshly criticized racism against blacks as undermining the all-important war effort) while at the very same time, other works sought to *promote* domestic racism (he aggressively promoted racism against Asians).

No, the books were hit by cancel culture and the estate bowed to the pressure. People absolutely went after him. Note also that what is getting canceled wasn't just his wartime propaganda, it's things like The Cat in the Hat and To Think That I Saw It On Mulberry Street.

Looks like this thread is fanfiction.

CNN just issued an article, apparently it's time to Cancel talk of Cancel Culture, because it doesn't exist.


CNN said:
Cancel culture, as it's understood today, isn't real. Not only do people and things allegedly "canceled" by this imaginary movement often prevail in the end, the whole concept is a smoke screen to distract from actual systemic forces of suppression.

It goes into the standard verbiage about how people who protest CancelCulture are actually the ones being oppressive and it cities as its only counterpoint Colin Kaepernick because that's apparently the one thing that can be cited to the contrary. Ignoring his lucrative Nike Contracts and the fact he can't show up to a proper tryout like filthy normal Quarterback prospects.

Gaslighting.

Notice how the examples they use are invariably drawn from wealth and privilege. Cancel Culture is primarily pointed towards working class people. An actor can bounce back from being cancelled, but some warehouse worker who loses his job because a piece of shit striver prepschool 'antifa' doxxed him for wearing a confederate flag t-shirt in his own home cannot bounce back so easily.

It was always about hurting people noodles about making people suffer just to excise their sadism. We both know this.

In a sentence I never thought I'd type: Social Media Outrage over Mumford & Sons Banjo Player Winston Marshall tweeting that he read Andy Ngo's new book Unmasked.

The musicians tweet is already deleted but apparently he stated something outrageous:

Ev6AOjuXAAME52E

This in turn incurred the wrath of whiny people on the internet who immediately declared him a Nazi and a Fascist. Thankfully the media has managed to engage in responsible reporting with The Hollywood Reporter, Consequences of Sound, Billboard, NME and other media outlets referring to Andy Ngo as variations of a right wing agitator and far right personality. Some of the ree'ing responses can be seen below.


Others are now freaking out over the fact that he apparently dated actress Dianna Agron in the past or that his Father is allegedly a George Soros linked Hedge Fund manager.

A cursory lookover Winston Marshall's latest tweets (that aren't deleted) seems to show him tweeting about the brutality of the CCP's actions in Hong Kong and Xinjiang.

In 2018, the band Mumford & Sons survived the social media outrage of taking a picture with well known Nazi Psychologist Jordan Peterson.

Never thought I'd see the terms "right-wing agitator" and Andy Ngo in one sentence, lol. Clown world.

One of the dominant factors to leftist discourse and Accepted Canon Of Reality, is that they must justify all the things that they do and do not do.

Thus they must invent a reason why lower election security is good, why reporting on political terrorists in the street is bad, why being colorblind is bad, etc, etc.

Its going to get a whole lot worse very soon, the last stages of modernity are always a shit show.

Because 'our' institutions worship weakness, do they not?

That's because they think strong men could easily become the second coming of Adolf Hitler. So in their eyes its better that Human society as a whole wallow in general mediocrity instead of cultivating potential and letting it flourish.

What they forget, is that strong men could easily become the likes of Abraham Lincoln or Teddy Roosevelt. Great Men Make History, and anyone who says otherwise is willfully ignorant that the only reason they can bitch about history is because Titans made something for them to bitch about in the first place.
