I see it more as an intellectual weakness; a fragility of thought more than a revolution as such... much more like toddlers screaming for biscuits than adults discussing equalities.

Add in the odd attention seeker and grifter and it's a recipe for hyperbolic, reactionary overreach.

Worth watching all of the "Evergreen College" documentary series to see just how pitiful they can be: part 1

I assume everyone posting it has never seen Hamilton as it does feature lines like “Hey, neighbour, your debts are paid ’cause you don’t pay for labour,”

And I'm at a loss as to what these people actually want, you can't ignore history as unless you learn from it you are doomed to repeat it.

Hamilton - Oh Dear
'CancelHamilton' appears on Twitter just days after musical's Disney+ debut | Daily Mail Online

#CancelHamilton sweeps the internet with calls for the musical to be AXED after its debut on Disney+ over criticism of the Founding Father for his role in slave trade

Musical has come under renewed scrutiny with the show's debut on Disney+

The hashtag 'cancelHamilton' emerged on Twitter, with some uncomfortable at celebrating the life of Hamilton - who traded slaves but did not own any himself

Hamilton managed slave sales for his wife's family and also did accounting for a Caribbean trading company that engaged in the slave trade

Lin-Manuel Miranda last month issued an apology to fans of Hamilton for the Broadway show's failure to publicly denounce systemic racism sooner

The 40-year-old playwright and actor also affirmed the show's support for the Black Lives Matter movement
