Why don't you cherry pick the ones that are cancel culture since you used the link as an example of cancel culture. Not going to do your homework for you, Jim.

This cancel culture crap is just that. Crap. Allow people to express their views regardless of political persuasion, then debate them on the merits of their argument. Quit threatening individuals, quit threatening companies with boycotts. And quit pretending it is only one side of the political spectrum responsible. This seems to be a hot button issue for you. Other people feel differently, as is the way if the world. Let it be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an entirely different thing. I'm talking about leftist attacks that are personalized and targeted to specific individuals. Attacks that seek to ruin people's lives. Coerce their employers to fire them. Cause them tangible and personal harm. Attacks driven by some belief that their "safe spaces" are being violated. There's a big difference between the two. Its about exerting power over the livelihoods of people that dare to oppose their views. People like the lone editor or writer at the NYT's or other papers that dare to write or publish an article or interview someone expressing views the mob doesn't approve. Its about controlling what people can do, what people can say, and what people can think. Its a dangerous threat to democracy and free expression. And pretending it doesn't exist doesn't make it disappear. Frankly, I'm growing tired of anyone that continues to give these mentally weak and emotionally immature "victims" a pass. My guess is they were spoiled little brats as children that mommy and daddy didn't have the ability or the stomach to discipline and now they've grown into spoiled adult brats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 LET’S CLEAR THIS UP: Is exercising your constitutionally guaranteed right to religious practice equivalent to imposing your religious beliefs on others? Sharon Stonestreet of the Colson Center for Christian Worldview thinks not and she offers three solid reasons why. https://www.hillfaith.org/culture/what-would-you-say-dont-impose-your-religious-beliefs-on-me/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Man Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 The Message Is Loud And Clear: Comply Or Be Destroyed How some can't deal with disagreement Critical race theory isn’t really a theory. It’s an idea some crackpot academic cooked up to try and justify the fact that they and so many of the folks they knew growing up didn’t amount to as much as they believed they should have. The real world is tough, but critical race theory gives black men and women an easy out. They don’t get ahead because the deck is stacked against them. It never really gets around to addressing all the white men and women who never achieve their life’s ambition, but who cares about them, right? Yet critical race theory is now being treated like it’s a scientific fact. No dissent with the theory is tolerated. Hell, it’s worse than anthropogenic global warming. While people may think you’re an awful person for not believing mankind is behind climate change—even if you’re someone who thinks it’s real, just not caused by man—at least no one is trying to get your life completely destroyed. https://tomknighton.substack.com/p/the-message-is-loud-and-clear-comply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you or somebody close to you served in the military think of the traits and characteristics that made them a good soldier. Now think of woke values and attributes. They are simply inconsistent. Can you really imagine a combat situation supported by a squad of woke soldiers? Is it possible to return fire in a non-offensive and "safe" manner? The entire idea is absurd.
