Do the political right believe in 'Cancel Culture?'

I think the do, only because they practice it often enough. The blocking option is meant to be to stop abuse, not arguments that you disagree with.

In the last two days I've been blocked for asking for evidence that the US election was fixed (he didn't wanna play that 'game' because I have too much 'bias'). Also, I got blocked by a Modi supporter for calling him a Modi supporter and for saying that the movement he supports has a link with the European radical right. His question was about Muslim immigration to the west and the current Indian government is very anti Muslim. He knew all of that but was pretending not to.

Its ironic that the right complain about people being canceled and 'safe space' culture when so many just block anyone who challenges their world view.

Literally left, right and center, people are all the same.

@assemblingaknob I dunno about that symmetrical equivilance. I am on the left but I've never blocked anyone for having a different view.

@Burnley123 and you attribute this to your political beliefs? 🤦‍♀️
Wow.

@assemblingaknob No necessarily. But I try to keep my conduct consistent with principles. Though I am taking myself a bit too seriously lol. Do you think that the left have the same characteristics? How so?

@Burnley123 I don't think anyone in the world can be 100% consistent with what they say or think they believe in. Humans contradict themselves all the time. Generalizing people based on anecdotal evidence is a foolish thing to do.
That's all I have to say about this.

@assemblingaknob OK. Fair enough.
