      Something, something, cancel culture IRL started with disco record burning and the Satanic Panic.

      Something, something, online cancel culture started with 4chan harassment campaigns, some of which were made to show teen girls that “actions have consequences” (read: slut shame them until they committed suicide, so 4chan people could post “An Hero” memes).

      it is, but because “the left” has done it for years, decades even, maybe even centuries, it’s fair to do it back at them

      edit: i thought “centuries” would be over the top enough, but i guess not any more, so, to clarify, /s

        “Cancel culture” has existed for as long as culture has existed. It has been practiced by essentially everyone at some point, for virtually every reason under the sun.

        We have called aspects of it boycott, exile, capital punishment/execution, mob rule, etc. I know those are all terms with their own meanings, but they also overlap to certain extent with what we call “cancel culture”.

    Most of the hate seems to involve just quoting things he’s publicly said.

      Because the truth hurts: Charlie Kirk was a sack of shit whose entire livelihood and career revolved around spreading hate and facilitating violence.

        Buh buh buh , his wife and kids!!! He was a religious man and was bringing back faith!!!

        No he was a radical right wing racist who got famous by being hateful and spreading lies and propaganda. Most of the world didn’t even know he had a family, so it’s irrelevant at this point.

          I hate the ‘he had a family’ line. Does that mean killing single men and women or people who never married makes it somehow OK? Like if Charlie Kirk was both single and celibate and said he was ‘married to his principles and mission’ (with no indication of being a closeted gay man or asexual) would that have made his murder more acceptable?

          Countless evil people were married and had kids. Stalin was known to be a doting father. Saddam was also known by his children as a very kind and affectionate father. Roy de Mayo, one of the most infamous mafia hitmen, had a family and his family life was so quiet and unremarkable that his children had absolutely no idea whatsoever that their father killed people for a living (and his son had a nervous breakdown when he saw the movie Murder Machine in the early 90s, which was about his then dead dad).

            Agreed. Besides, if these people were concerned with what their children thought, they should’ve factored that in when making their decisions. The truth can’t hide forever (in the case of that last story), and the others (including Kirk) made their awful words and deeds public. If they never stopped to think, “What would my kids have to say about what I’m doing?” then why should it suddenly be our concern?

            Sorry your daddy was a piece of shit that didn’t care about the legacy or how it would reflect back on his children, but there’s no whitewashing what he publically stood for.

              Kids of figures like Kirk have multiple possible outcome. Firstly they could just be their own person, live their own lives and not necessarily have anything to do with their father’s legacy. Second they could actively speak against what their father stood for, or they could walk in his footsteps and continue the hate.

    Their entire party is now built on hate. These people will sacrifice anything to support their hate. They are literally using hateful actions to support the memory of a hateful person. It’s just hate all the way down.

            My mom and step dad are raging alcoholics. The further they fell into alcoholism, the more their love for Trump grew.

            They pop open their first Modelo (irony is dead) around 9am, at the latest.

            He definitely radicalized her over the years (been married on and off for 18 years), and has started physical fights with me since I was a kid. She never really defended me, and put him over me when they got married. She is a librarian, and used to be a 7th grade English teacher. I hate that she’s influencing children every day.

            They can rot in Alabama.

              If it’s any consolation, such teachers aren’t usually student-favorites. Apathetic teachers are boring, while teachers with angry energy or who use their position for powertrips (as MAGA enjoys doing) make kids uncomfortable. It’s the teachers with patience and open minds that tend to be the most influential and remembered. If your mom acts the same way at work as she does at home, it’s hard to imagine the kids would choose her (out of everyone) as their role model.

              As a non-American, what’s the irony here? Mexican beer?

              If so, I think “those types” have no qualms about Mexicans existing as long as they produce slightly cheaper goods and good beer in their own country - they just want the ones in the US to all die as soon as possible.

                Another bit of irony is that they likely complain about an “open border”.

                Thought experiment; under what circumstances should a Mexican brewer be able to sell their sweet beverages into the United States? At the border, standing on tiptoes to hand a case of bottles over a wire fence, to receive dollars back from an American trader? Or, maybe shall we allow a system by which anyone can apply for permission to enter for trade needs…?

                Oh, but that would be an open border; because then people could apply, and then just choose not to go back. Hmmm. It’s a really interesting problem!

      This is absolutely true, and the craziest part is that half of them don’t even know they’re supporting bad stuff (they think they are good people, but they are hopelessly ignorant and passively racist with no desire to change) while almost none of them seem to realize that they are the ones making themselves miserable all the damn time. (speaking from my personal experiences/acquaintances)

      Hate and negativity in every little nook and cranny of life. The kind of thing that makes people into dangerous and aggressive drivers when they are in no hurry to get anywhere.

      Yup. That’s the playbook. DDoS this service by:

      • Generating fake tweets and reporting them.
      • Volunteering to fact check and do a bad job, actively sabotaging their data.
      • Gathering information to doxx the people who run the site.

      Bonus points for turning the wrath of this mob against MAGA types themselves.

    You know, there was a couple of authoritarians that used tattling to suppress dissent.

    The USSR and Nazi Fucking Germany. And CCP.

    That’s where we are now. We’re ruled by children.
