Cancel Culture?

[jayn200]

OK, so it sounds like you're triggered by people expressing views that you don't agree with, and have decided they have mental health issues, to make yourself feel better. Carry on as before.

If I am triggered by anything, it's by people getting triggered. That's what cancel culture is. I don't want to take this further because you are very militant and absolute in your positioning in this forum and there is nothing positive that will come out of escalating this further.

Don't be triggered by people getting triggered. Equally, don't imagine that they must have mental health issues just because you don't agree with them.

No, when you are pursuing that charge here if the 'leprechaun' was deemed not to be a racial then he would have got off with the abuse.

The crime was recorded as racially aggravated, but there's no evidence that fine was higher or anything was added to the punishment as a result.

If he'd only called the guy a fsking leprechaun he'd have gotten away with it due to precedent. But hey - if you want a sad, bitter, paranoid view of the world, that's your call.

If you've not seen Obama's chat about "Woke" it's worth a look, on youtube. I totally agree with him.

Cancel culture is burning books imo.

Yes horrible things have happened and the world changes - but todays "OK" will be tomorrows not ok too - it's called progress and its good to reflect on things and see the positive change.

The past is always relevant in that it allows us to not make the same mistakes over and learn, not only the present and the future matter , destroying history is very dangerous IMO.

So do you think Saddam Hussein's 12 metre statue should have been pulled down? Or those of Adolf Hitler etc. etc? Presumably you do. There aren't absolutes here.

[woohoo]

That's a bad argument. The people that pulled down Saddams statue didn't live within a society that had a framework for raising support and debating if statues should be removed. They couldn't raise the issues with their local MP etc.

But if people raise support for removing statues, they're guilty of "Cancel Culture".
