A possible argument against the Cancel Culture.

[Standing Wolf]

That's another way of saying "Punching Nazis is a good thing." The Nazis don't think so, obviously, but they're Nazis, so who cares?

Nobody is being discriminated against on the basis of politics. That's just victimhood whining. People are being criticized for being awful human beings. If that's defined as "discrimination", then it means that pedophiles are also victims of "discrimination". It waters down the word to a point where it means nothing.

Good luck in trying to get anyone to organize discrimination against Democrats for being Democrats. First, it's pretty open fascism, and the right is trying to keep that part of their agenda hidden. And second, Democrats aren't acting like awful human beings, so nobody wants to discriminate against them. That's human nature.

I would just make the caveat that the great majority of Democrats "aren't acting like awful human beings..." There are news items to be found every day - and God knows the Rightist members of tPF will find and post about them - regarding someone identifying as a Democrat, a liberal or a progressive that makes practically everybody else who bears those labels cringe.

No! I am advocating for small businesses in mostly Conservative areas to fire Dems. Hopefully a media source like NewsMax can lead the initiative.

This is the practice of First Amendment -- the Right of Association supported by all proponents of Cancel Culture.

Given that almost every Republican or Independent has said or done something for which Progressives would cancel them, it would be logical for Republicans to take every practical legal step against Progressives. ....

I strongly suspect that you don't really understand how logic works.

If someone tried to explain, I may understand.

<eye roll> You just love the sad victimhood tales, don't you?

Back in reality, this is consequences culture. Bad people are suffering the consequences for doing bad things. That's a _good_ thing.

You wouldn't shout if you weren't being hurt. That's incentive for us to keep doing what we're doing. The only way we'd stop if you can explain how what we're doing is immoral. Why is it bad for someone to refuse to do business with those they see as evil? After all, you just said one should not tolerate intolerance. Why shouldn't liberals use that standard?

I don't know, he strangely makes sense to me. Of course I am a Conservative so what do I know.

In my opinion the fact that they want to cancel me for my opinion on some issues, and the fact that they want to cancel a large percentage of Republicans for their quotes is quite awful. The only reasonable response would be for Republicans, Independents, and Classical Liberals to use our Economic Power and Legal Rights to resist.

Please tell us exactly who is out to "cancel" you, and exactly how. Surely, you want to share that sad tale of oppression with everyone.

I agree with you 100%! You are basically repeating what I said in the OP.

Any Conservative company or business should fire all Democrats.

I agree with you! Sadly most Conservatives do not yet understand that we are right and they are wrong. But they will understand -- hopefully sooner then later.

Thank you. It saddens me that most Conservatives still do not understand.
