Is cancel culture real or is it just a right-wing myth?

Personally, I think it does exist but it's niche and massively blown up by the right. Conservative YouTubers seem much more obsessed with university social science departments than anyone else on the planet. If you complain about being 'cancelled' it's the fastest way to get a book deal but then if you criticise the government of Israel you get called an anti-semite.

BTW, most of the 'free-speech absolutists' on this site will never read this post because they have blocked me. Oh well.

just like pretty much every other bogeyman on the right ,yes.

I don't even what to hear from them anymore myself because it's like you're going to piss and moan about cancel culture like the GOP didn't try to cancel video games didn't try to cancel dungeons and dragons and the dixie chicks and on and on and on.

The thing about the people on the right is they're scared shitless of everything.

and it's just so sad, Like people are but republicans are happy and democrats are miserable and I'm like.

But republicans cannot do anything that's actually fun or enjoyable because the right is terrified of people enjoying themselves.

@BetweenKittensandRiots The word 'woke' has recently entered the British media lexicon. It is used almost exclusively as an attack line.

A deliberately ill-defined umbrella term that means anything socially liberal. Its largely replaced the term 'politically correct' and it is used by people who have no idea of the origin of the word. Unfortunately, there are big efforts over here to import the American culture war and it does have a target market.

@Burnley123 the thing is that it's so much worse.

the cultural bolshevism conspiracy theory of nazi germany is basically damn nearly indistguinsable from the "cultural marxism" conspiracy theory today.

these morons just basically lifted Hitlers Race theory and repackaged it for the modern age.
