nobody is guilty for using omarchy, but I guess I don't get why you would want to associate with someone who sucks?
Anyway, is it left wing to be anti-racist these days? Yikes.
Unfortunately, on this site, being against white supremacy is treated as some sort of personality disorder. Yes, it's fucked up. No, it's not representative of the general population (or so I dearly hope).
Ask your self, how come most of VCs and tech people swung "back to right". Literally all of them have been cancelled by the mob years ago. Even our darling PG has been cancelled despite vehemently protesting right.
> even our darling PG has been cancelled
Please, do tell - in what way has PG been cancelled? Cancellation is when you lose opportunities, funding, jobs, etc. It is not when people online repeatedly bring up something they didn't like that you did or said.
Cancelling people for merely trying to open conversation (mind these aren't some extreme ideas either) is just fucked up thing to do.
But you must believe there is a line, no? Sure, open conversation is good, but there are things you can say in open conversation that will make people not want to associate with you. Is that unfair? I don’t think so. Cancellation isn’t bad, imo, unless it’s unfair. Words taken out of context, distorted by mob mentality, that kind of thing. Otherwise, to me “cancellation” is just the consequences of your words and actions.
Just damages their brand.
