pandarilla Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 this pretty much. Jeet Heer was the most disappointing signatory.I don't know who jeet is but if you scroll to the reply, they've pointed out that it's not a very good analogy, because it's a very different point.There are people who's views i strongly disagree with on that list, and there are people who i have a lot of respect for.I find it difficult to find much disagreement with the actual content of the letter - but folk are pretty het up about it. I don't think 'cancel culture' is the most worrying thing in our world right now, but I'm surprised that so many people aren't troubled by it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshmallo Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 I'm not sure if it's being shut in the house for months but my tolerance for this "marketplace of ideas" bullshit has completely evaporated. Both sides-ers essentially make out that calling a racist a racist is just as offensive as making racist comments. "You'll never win them over by calling them racist" - I don't want to win them over. They're scum. Both sides-ing is what leads to c***s saying throwing a milkshake at Tommy Robinson is in the same stratosphere as Jo Cox being murdered in the street. If only someone had tried to debate her killer eh. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's what a lot of them mean. "Cancel culture" is just the consequences of spouting bigoted rhetoric. People voting with their feet. I take it apartheid South Africa was "cancelled" in the early 90s? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If only someone had tried to debate her killer eh.Can i ask, are you this intolerant of other people's views on real life? Or just on the Internet? Genuine question. You're incredibly dismissive of anyone who disagrees with you. Fair enough if you're one of those folk that 'tells it like it is' - to folks faces, you can't dispute their honesty. "Cancel culture" is just the consequences of spouting bigoted rhetoric. People voting with their feet. I take it apartheid South Africa was "cancelled" in the early 90s?That's a horrible comparison, mate.That was a clear campaign, with clear objectives. In my view there no ambiguity in that debate. It's incredibly clear cut. For me the two biggest issues with cancel culture relate to how i see the trans debate being conducted, and the recent anti - semitism scandals of the labour party.Internet pile-on's and then knee-jerk reactions, and too often i see folk wanting to have views dismissed entirely, rather than deconstructed. My view on these two issues are not in any way set, and i think they've got layers of complexity that need to be untangled. But that's not how it seems to ever play out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You went to a state school in Larbert, I was married in post-apartheid South Africa. Don't go down that road, you'll make an even bigger tit of yourself.
