I wish people would sack up and get used to hearing things they don’t like to hear. The added benefit is people will out themselves and then you know how people truly think. Silencing people is much worse and creates bigger problems. I get it, there are a lot of wackos right now on the far right. I’d rather hear what they have to say than pretend they don’t exist. 

Although many Jews share a similar (white European) gene pool, they are not a race. Any person can convert to their religion and become a Jew. 

Pretending the far right doesn't exist is what the far right does to deny that there's a problem, like FOX and the GOP pretending systemic racism is no longer a thing or that white supremacists aren't far and away the largest terror threat facing the US today.

Platforming conspiracies and misinformation and allowing them to propagate is how people die like we've seen over the last year.

First, use the multiquote feature please.

Second it's not that simple. Although one can convert into being Jewish (few people do since they don't seek converts), you can't really choose to not be Jewish. I'm an atheist, but my last name is easily recognizable as Jewish. I also have features that most savvy people can identify as Jewish (although not all the time, so sometimes people will talk about how much they dislike Jews right to my face without realizing, which is always hilarious). 

In the point Hiku was making, Hitler did not care if a Jew was practicing or an atheist. If a person had 1 or more Jewish grandparents, they were considered Jewish. So, the targeting was not based on any factor the person could choose (other groups were also targeted). As opposed to someone like Gina who is facing consequences for saying stupid shit that was entirely within her control. That's the difference.

I just want to chime in, not about the topic specifically, but about a narrative I've seen repeated several times that implies conservatives are the only ones criticizing cancel culture and then only for hypocritical reasons.

That's not true.

I've been not-conservative and liberal-by-default pretty much my entire life. On those political orientation things, I usually get something like "center-left". The last few years, though, I've realized that I absolutely do not want to be associated with the "liberal" label. The viciousness, the unabashed hypocrisy, the hive mind mentality, the swarming need to destroy anyone that does not conform ...

Cancel culture gives me fucking chills.

Sci-fi dystopia, Harrison Bergeron type chills.  I don't want anything to do with it or the people who support it.  It's not the only reason I've jettisoned the democratic party but it's certainly one of the biggest.  

Radicals on all sides often share some viewpoints with much more moderate people. But conservative is usually reserved for people that uphold institutions and keep traditions. People storming the capitol aren't conservative, they are radical, even if they share some viewpoints with conservatives.

I wpould also argue that democrats are the party of conservatives. At least most democrats or the ones in power in the party are very conservative. They don't want for instance changes like a health care for everyone or a change in student debts and instead keep uupholding the current systems. The republican party on the other hand is at least in a significant part filled with radical right-wingers. They don't want to uphold traditions and conservative values, but instead try to exclude people from voting (by stricter voting laws to exclude poor people) - and the voting right for everyone is an established value therefore conservative, want to reverse decades old developments like Roe vs. Wade.

You must be american, because my impression is that americans are almost entirely far right wing.

I think many people make it too easy for themself, if they say that basic rights are only enforceable against the government. These rights were coined in a time in which no global multi-billion companies existed, wealth was connected to single powerful persons that also represented the government. But these times have changed mostly. If people say, that a company never can do censorship, as only a government or a state can censor, I think that is misguided, as many companies have a lot of actual power (even if they don't have formal institutional power) and many act as a gatekeeper. With other rights as well. I think we should seriously consider, that our rights should also be enforceable against players as big companies.

That doesn't mean I agree with Carano, I didn't know her and what I read now about the stuff she sais, I think I despise most of her viewpoints. But I would be very wary to give big companies too much power, because they wield it against people "who deserve it" for now.

Yeah, well cancel culture is a power trip that enables everyone to feel like having actual power because they are part of a mob. So left and right are using it all for their own goals and actually one and the same person can become cancelled from both sides, as the reality is much more complicated than simply left and right.

Wait, treating both groups the same is "logically inconsistent"? And are you really saying, that a small group has less rights than a bigger one? I think we should look at the content of the "opinions", not on the size of the supporter base. If millions support killing jews in germany their "opinion" doesn't had more right ot be voiced, than the ones of the dissenters.

It's not how many voice an opinion, but if the opinion in question is a vehicle for hatred, to decide if an opinion should be suppressed. Your statements are very worrying, the way you formulated it. Because this is the support of a fascist dictatorship. The word fascism is actually based on describing a big movement in italian. Remember also that there are a lot of Trump-supporters, are their stances more valid because they are many?
