words that irk me
Cancel culture...............what the hell does that even mean????
If this is a serious question, it means that anyone who has done, written, or said anything that does not conform with the current standards of the radical left must be destroyed. They need to be fired, banished, defamed and destroyed.
People who did more for freedom than almost anyone who have walked the face of the earth are being defamed because they did things that are not acceptable in the present day. Washington and Jefferson owned slaves, which is rightfully intolerable in the present day. Yet, in their time, it was the way of life. There was little opposition to slavery then, although it rapidly grew in the decades after their deaths. The cancel culture wants their statues torn down, and have it taught they were evil racists whose great contributions were insignificant because of things they did that are unacceptable today, even though it was accepted and commonplace in their time.
There are many examples of this in the current climate. The attempt to destroy people who are currently public figures include Mayim Bialik, Eric Clapton, Dave Chappelle, Aaron Rodgers, Kevin Hart, Brett Cavanaugh, John Gruden and many, many more. Are they perfect? I think there was only one perfect person. Do they deserve to be destroyed for a expressing a viewpoint which does not conform to groupthink? Are they irredeemable because of something done or said years ago? The cancel culture believes so.
This is all around, and is dangerous. More about this can be found through many sources.
