I thought you meant the sea witch for a minute

I ALSO agree with that, but it was briefly confusing

UnbrokenEva

I thought Canadian Breitbart was The Rebel?

SimBen

I'm sorry to report there are probably more extreme right-wing Canadian media than you know.

Cello

The Rebel is the one run by Ezra Levant that is funded by the Mercers, which is great, love to have foreign funding in our insane alt-right ecosystem

I actually didn't realize Post Millenial was Canadian but they're also hot garbage

And there's been some international disinformation factories like The Buffalo Chronicle that have been dipping their toe in weird anti-immigration false stories this year

Our bigger issue is the domestic funded PAC-alikes like Ontario/Canada Proud and Canada Strong right now but we have our own shitty circles of hard right/disinformation stuff going strong, unfortunately

I needed anime to post.

Let me put it this way, I can also say "American Breitbart Fox News"

The phrase "Cancel Culture" is rapidly becoming, or already just is, another right wing smokescreen to deflect attention from there actions.

its pretty much the trajectory of pretty much every bit of AAVE that gets appropriated by the mainstream.

except woke, where iirc it started as a negative thing.

hell of a two weeks

BahamutZERO

when woke started entering my field of awareness it was already being used as a positive, what was the negative meaning?

The dumbest thing about those "cancel culture" complaints is that, like.. yo, that's how capitalism works! You don't like something, you don't buy it!

Yeah, but if leftists do it it's bad, actually

every time the left does capitalism it's artificial and evil and marxism

I guess 'cancel culture' is easier to say than 'had a bad time on twitter dot com because people didn't like a thing you did or said because it was probably stupid'

someone's gotta post that screencap of fox news decrying how Cancel Culture got the fossil fuel industry.

Moriveth

I'm just saying if you disagree with me, it's censorship. But if I disagree with you, you shouldn't be allowed to say anything.

Knight_

honestly my only problem with canceling people is that they don't stay canceled.

tired of redemption tours for rich celebrities.

I needed anime to post.

projared's comeback tour these last weeks literally involved modeling t-shirts that read "canceled" on them

CorporateLogo

Also dirtbags trying to claim Etika’s suicide was cancel culture

fucking ugh

fucking digging up a dead man to parade your politics

Gustav

I'm sure there is a nuanced discussion to be had on internet dogpiling and its various merits and demerits. Not that you will catch me having it anywhere online. But the idea of it being so effective as to be a quantifiable culture and successful tool strikes me as just inventing boogeymen. And people bandying it about might often be forgetting that they are whistling at human hearing levels.

I needed anime to post.

It's pretty classical "Our enemies are impotent and pathetic, but also powerful with dangerous tools!" rhetoric

Der Waffle Mous

I mean at the end its all decrying the that things can have consequences.

Moriveth

Dave Chapelle's new special is called 'no safe spaces' and my eyes rolled out of my head when I saw that

Louis C.K. literally did a bit about how straight white guys have it easier than anyone else and cannot have their feelings hurt at all

And then, well

Dave Chappelle falling into the same trap that sent him into retirement the first time is a hell of a thing. I wonder if he'll ever figure it out.

Hobnail

Being a massively wealthy prick makes figuring stuff out hard, so I hear

Mr. G

David's having a good day

Moriveth

Indie Winter

so the last ep of FatT got posted by I cant listen to it for a while and I am DYING to know what The Thing is that every player has been tweeting about that's going to make us flip shit

So I'm asking you to spoil me. What the fuck happened that's so buckwild

Hobnail

On the latest We Hate Moview it is postulated that silk underpants would cause ones genitals and undercarriage to become very sweaty but I have the vague notion that silk is a notoriously breathable material

Chincymcchilla

I've had silk underwear and for whatever reason they are pretty sweaty, yeah

Hobnail

Well one more reason not to fuck with worms
