Then where does it stop? Do you silence communists? Antifa? Ted Cruz? AOC? Ilhan Omar? It’s a slippery slope? We shouldn’t all have a homogenous opinion. We should be free thinkers and decide for ourselves. The worst thing we could do is let the government or administrators at Twitter/FB/IG decide what information should reach us.
If you want to go on Twitter and bring someone’s comments or actions to light, I absolutely think you should. If that results in someone getting fired for making insensitive remarks, fine with me. I don’t give a shit as long as there is a platform for someone to have an opinion.
It wasn’t right then and it’s not right now. No one should be persecuted or “canceled” for their beliefs. If you don’t like what someone has to say, ignore them, just like the crazy religious guy telling everyone they’re going to hell or PETA members protesting furs. That’s what’s been great about this country is that if you don’t like something, you can absolutely change things through protests and movements. Suppose civil rights leaders were silenced because the mainstream didn’t like what they had to say.
Just because you don’t agree with something someone says doesn’t mean it’s not dangerous to silence their voices.
People not speaking out against Lia Thomas for fear of getting cancelled is a real thing. Just because you don’t think it’s a big deal for her to compete against women doesn’t mean that others don’t have a valid reason for believing that it’s not legit. Just because you say there’s no such thing as a cancel culture doesn’t make it true. There’s plenty of other examples but you support the canceling mob so you’re blinded to it. It goes both ways.
I watched 3 terrible movies on my flight over spring break.
The new Scream was awful and I would’ve stopped watching it if I had anything else to do.
“No Sudden Move” with Benicio del Toro was the best of the 3 but still bad.
The worst was a movie called “Every Last One of Them” about a guy looking for his missing daughter. The movie had no flow and made no sense really.
He brings up a valid point. It’s one thing to shout down hate speech. It’s another thing to infiltrate and shut down a speaker because you don’t agree with their politics.
This isn’t unique to Texas. The Yale law students went and shut down a “free speech forum” because the law school invited a religious conservative to debate an atheist liberal because they didn’t like the politics of one of the speakers. I guess the irony of a free speech forum being shut down because they didn’t agree with one side’s speech was lost on them. Rational debate is all but gone in this day and age.
And there’s the fuckstick techtard who’s team needed a bunch of questionable calls to beat an 11 seed. Get over it- nobody wants to permanently live in Lubbock and anyone who has a modicum of success is going to leave your shitstain of a school as soon as possible. You’re a stepping stone school, get over it.
