Shipon posted:Christ I didn't even necessarily disagree with how he talked about the issue on the cancel culture episode of Chapo two weeks ago but he's just gone batty at this point. I started listening to that episode and quickly stopped once I realized what it was probably leading to and how awkward it would probably be. My prediction (that I'm expecting probably came true in some capacity) is that Will wouldn't be able to make himself directly push back against dumb cancel culture whining from Taibbi while Amber would eat that poo poo up because she has a bad tendency to knee-jerk take the wrong opinions in situations where those opinions can be cast as "owning the PMC wokes" (she's usually good, but it's clear that she has some level of tunnel vision from being an academic in NYC who is constantly exposed to the worst elements of PMC liberalism).

the gwen snyder cop has a patreon asking for 500 dollars to set up "a wiki" of "right wing symbolism" and 800 dollars to help her "fund the time and equipment" to do a podcast. shes already at 620 dollars per month lol. in absolute awe of this tbh, i cannot fault it.

What even is cancel culture supposed to be? Like whatever it is I'm sure it's not what these dummies think but like... Basically when someone comes out as a racist or a transphobe we just call them an rear end in a top hat and stop buying their work. I'd just assume Taibbi is off the deep end, but Michael Brooks's sister mentioned on the memorial episode that he hated cancel culture too. Are there any legit examples of canceling overreach? I read some of Nathan J Robinson's responses to Taibbi and when he spells everything out it seems like very reasonable responses all around.

https://twitter.com/JoseHdzMX/status/1286434781702631429?s=20 during this period of pandemic, economic collapse, and heavy state repression, I think the focus on "cancel culture" has to be considered a reaction to a new mass movement emerging. it captures media attention and the focus of the intelligensia, when the real struggle is happening on the street

it was pretty hosed up how Taibbi canceled elected officials like Obama and Dick Cheney, I think the loss of their input into the discourse is a real tragedy and anybody seeking to exclude them is just being an absurd totalitarian

Basically when someone comes out as a racist or a transphobe we just call them an rear end in a top hat and stop buying their work. I'm pretty sure what Michael Brooks specifically was worried about is how cancel culture causes divides among the working class, which is counterproductive and should be slapped down immediately. The problem with this is that I've never seen a compelling explanation of what "canceling" actually is. People whine endlessly about cancel culture, but I've never seen a single loving person face any consequences at all for anything but severe fuckups.

Basically when someone comes out as a racist or a transphobe we just call them an rear end in a top hat and stop buying their work. like with many faux outrages by centrists, libs and the right, cancel culture can be many different things, depending on the situation. here's some i've been able to list: 1. getting someone fired for saying some controversial opinion/something you don't like 2. deplatforming someone 3. not firing someone but having them resign because they don't feel comfortable working in a place where everybody hates them 4. making fun of someone on twitter 5. airing out complaints of serious misconduct in public (i.e. what happened with #metoo in many cases) 6. writing a negative article or recording a negative video about someone, preferably from a major media outlet 7. not being able to provide any opinion that a person wants at any given time, and thus having to 'self-censor' i'm sure i'm probably missing another half a dozen other examples, AT LEAST, but this is a good rundown.

it’s also completely up to the interpretation of each individual, because the concept of “someone else holds views i find so detestable that i think they should be dismissed outright by everyone” is a universal experience that applies to every human throughout time

no one who doesn’t live on Twitter gives a gently caress about cancel culture. it’s something that only lives on the hell platform and never intrudes into actual real life.
