What?

Exactly. Historically the left cancel culture has been in the private sector, which is protected. A company can fire you for saying racist shit, and you can be shunned by your community as they are individuals exercising their right to shun.

Right wing cancel culture exists in Congress and local governments, where they pass laws to silence teachers, make it illegal for trans people to exist, and send the national guard to beat up protesters.

This is an instance where a left wing group may experience the other side of the former.

Edit:

It seems I didn't communicate my idea clearly and people think the exact opposite of what I meant. I meant left wing folks tend to cancel people through social means, like when no one wants to see a film with Kevin Spacey, whereas the right wing folks cancel people legally, like how you can't be a communist in office or it's illegal for an atheist to hold office in 7 states.

My last statement is how students having trouble getting a job is part of a "social canceling".

I was super confused as to why I was getting down voted since I was trying to agree with what was being said and add to the conversation.

Yup. I was pretty darn confident on November 7th 2016 too.

If she drives a '98 Pontiac Sunfire bud, there's a pretty descent chance she's gonna fuck your whole life up

I mean SS troops had to kill the dog that they raised as a puppy through their entire training to prove their dedication to Hitler.

I live in Chicago.

I'm not gonna say there's no reason to have a car, but I see no reason for the average Chicagoan to own a car.

The CTA is actually pretty reliable overall The streets are comparatively bikeable The Divvy System (bike share) is well layer out.

Make America Multimodal Again. This. Shit. Works.

Israel is defeated like the US was defeated in Afghanistan. It's not that the Taliban managed to get tanks rolling through DC, but they killed our international image and took away prescious time, money, energy, and lives. They suffered magnitudes more than us, so just like in any war, there were no winners.

We keep saying "we don't negotiate with terrorists", but I'm starting to think that we should consider negotiating with terrorists*.

'*Understanding the definition of terrorist is very subjective

He also would masturbate in the middle of the market, and when confronted said "if only hunger could be satisfied by rubbing your belly"

He also lived in a bathtub.

I'm tired of figuring out what's gay or straight. I just wanna fuck in peace.

The state should not have the right to end your life if you pose no immediate harm to anyone.

Death isn't justice. It's just death.

To fast? Jail. To slow? Believe it or not, jail. Over/ under.

Hell, even nuclear war wouldn't necessarily be an extinction level event- like something like 97% of people would die, but for that remaining 3% of people, life will suck while they restart the 1000 year process of bringing humanity back out of dark ages II.

I hate it even more

Real stupid vote from the Trump user. Lemmy lost the popular take.

Do cats defy the laws of entropy while simultaneously being the cause of it?

It appears my meme took damage getting here. Better have some hearty meaty rice balls.

Because lemm.ee doesn't allow direct uploading, I have to upload all my memes through Imgur.

JFC Imgur is the 2nd meanest social media community after pre-2017 yik yak. Good Lord that place was like a high school theater department.
