    "Cancel culture" is a ridiculous slur used by fools to obscure the fact that there have always been things that society "cancelled" the only difference is that now it is traditionally less powerful groups doing the cancelling

        I mean, THIS WEEK 25,000 people signed a petition to pull an ad from the air because it features two gay men kissing but sure tell me more about how awful it is that racists on TV now have to be careful how they phrase things

        It's a dumb phrase for people getting fired from their jobs over tweets, Facebook posts and other personal forms of expression. Which is bad.

        Nurit Baytch Retweeted Nurit Baytch

        just to clarify, traditionally powerful groups are still cancelling people. they just don’t call it “cancel culture.” a Republican state representative was apparently behind this cancellation: https://twitter.com/NuritBaytch/status/1365115823405334532 … https://www.dallasobserver.com/news/collin-college-professor-says-state-rep-jeff-leach-is-trying-to-get-her-fired-11989040 …

        would love to see the right-wingers who bleat about “cancel culture” come to the defense of @ldburnett after @collincollege refused to renew her contract in the wake of @foxnews reporting on her mean tweets about Mike Pence: https://www.foxnews.com/us/college-professors-expletive-criticism-vp-debate …

        *Finally* elite private college students are empowered to fight back against janitors 💪

        Worth noting. Sometimes those students fighting back are poor and homeless except for being at an elite institution that’s supporting them. So don’t assume who’s in what economic class.

        Fully agree to the point, but want to warn that there's a lot of traditionally powerful groups currently posing as the interests of marginalized groups.
