It's crazy to me seeing how many people seem capable of grasping the concept of 'I didn't like him/watch him/agree with him but he shouldn't have lost his job', but were unable to manage the same last week when someone lost their LIFE. Being happy, or at best indifferent to murder but someone losing their job is what makes them irate.
Unfortunately we're now in a period of reaping, the sowing was done a long time before when it was 'the other side' being cancelled and no-one complaining now seemed too upset about it.

@JimboSaturn I'm not from the US so who's who and who said what isn't really a strong point for me, I was speaking in more general terms when it comes to 'cancel culture', I think the common phrase was 'you have freedom of speech, but not freedom from consequences'. The implication being 'be quiet and follow the accepted line or else'. Which is what seems to be happening here.

@helsbels yeah private and public/government are different though. Private company is theirs to do what they want with - Disney. And here the anti-woke are incensed. but they’re just business decisions. This is FCC government pressure which is a totally different and much scarier thing… because we generally don’t want the govt making hiring and firing decisions for other people (and it is regulated by 1st amendment).
