I won’t, and I really am against cancel culture (I’m for developing reputation systems to help you automatically ignore those you don’t want to read, but to be able to read what they say in case you suddenly want that).
Now, this whole Twitter-Threads dynamic seems like an exemplary “toad vs viper” case.
I didn’t think cancel culture was a great tactic until I saw its effect on Alex Jones and Milo Yieanowetpahppolis.
Deplatforming fascists works, and we have observed it. We should do more of it.
lol ‘cancel culture’ used to be called ‘boycotting’ / ‘speaking with your wallet’ used to be called ‘having an opinion’
its not new, obviously we should punch nazis, and you can be certain anyone who says the words ‘cancel culture’ unironically is a tool with less than a 10 year memory span, max.
Cancel Culture is none of those things. Cancel Culture is very specifically taking a platform away from someone who has misused it to do harm in our society.
Should you choose to vote with your wallet and boycott destructive people, though? Yes, absolutely. But deplatforming is observably effective, because we’ve seen that many of these loud, awful people simply aren’t able to rebuild their following without the convenience of major social media platforms and interviews on major networks.
And without that following, they aren’t shit. Alex Jones literally went bankrupt.
Still needs some quality time in a dark alley with a lead pipe
