Okay, so if I'm following you properly, you essentially consider "cancelling" as something of an "end run" around the way that disagreements ought to be resolved; as always, if I'm missing something essential, by all means bring me up to speed.BIL wrote:Identify someone with a belief you dislike, and set out not to persuade public opinion against them to the extent they may be forced to rethink their presence in your community (this is perfectly legitimate expression - peacefully picketing a store, say), but by unilaterally ruining them outright, having appointed yourself the arbiter of what may and may not be said or thought.
To attempt to bring this (more or less) back around full circle, your main issue with the effort to oust Rogan from Spotify was with the way some attempted to put their thumb on the scale by focusing not on the Covid misinformation that got him into hot water in the first place, but on his past use of racial slurs, which you've argued were mis-contextualized to paint a less flattering portrait of him (I frankly haven't delved deep into those items, so I'll defer to your judgment on them here).
As such, I'll repeat the question I asked in my previous post: if the race stuff had never been introduced, but enough people had ditched Spotify in direct response to his behavior concerning Covid information to force his firing, would Rogan, in your estimation, have been "cancelled"?
THE STORY IS TRUE 
I bet that's what bright-eyed and hopeful Young Mike thought his Information Superhigway Adventures With The Shat would be like. 
Instead, ShatMan is rockin' 21st-century hair replacement technology - while Mike is being crushed from all sides in the pitiless black void of terminal alcohol dependency! 
IDGAF about gays or Mexicans or midgets, I hasten to add. Or even Incels, provided they kill only themselves. God bless 'em all. It's just a bit of a windscreen yearning for a brick, someone who literally (not figuratively) embodies all four groups, cosplaying as a fifth that would machinegun them all into the same burning ditch, you know?
It's generally nicer in here with you guys than on the mean faceless streets of Youtoob and twatter, I find. 
I wish to register aggrievance, MM-san! (■｀w´■) I keep telling people this Competitive IDPOL craze is retarded and dangerous, and they keep calling me KKK and shit. :[ Then some mouthy black bitch gets her head blown off by guess who 
And nobody wants to talk about it anymore. I can't even go "Told you so! *2x middlefingers + eat pussy sign*" or anything. It's very unsatisfying, for me, and very unfortunate, for the growing piles of dead and raped and maimed who got done by the wrong colour chaps!
You know I am an amoral sort with a feral bloodlust for bestially blown-out arseholes of all colours and creeds, metaphorically like.
