All right, I take back that accusation. My intent wasn't to accuse you of dishonesty and it wasn't meant as a rhetorical trick. But I felt the need to express my frustration that I still suspect you might see more than you admit about cancel culture (more in line with the definition that I have used). But if you don't then fine, I believe you. |
Ok then.
I see a infinitesimally small part of the world, as any human does. I can't say which side does it more or less. What I can say is that I've seen examples of both sides calling for people they don't like to be deplatformed, calling for people they don't like to be fired, and calling for boycotts of products and companies they object to, for reasons wholly divorced from business. That is objectively true.
And in all cases, provided laws are otherwise followed, I support a speaker's right to call for deplatforming, firing, boycotts, etc, whether or not I agree that it's actually deserved. That's freedom of speech.
