      Yeah, you got me, cancel culture is real -- one guy got fired under dubious circumstances. But I still think it's a little bit less significant than cops killing hundreds, Covid-19, the looting of the economy and climate change. That's just me.

      Yes, everyone agrees with you on that. It's an unremarkable thing to say, a cheap point.

      I'm pretty sure everyone doesn't agree on that and there are people obsessed with a largely fictitious cancel culture who ignore real problems.

      I don't know anyone who thinks Shor fired to appease a squad of lunatics is more important than climate change, covid, police brutality, etc. You've invented that, or you know some very strange people.

      There are vast swaths of the population that don't think climate change, covid and police brutality are even real. You should read outside your lefty bubble.

          And these are the same people obsessed with cancel culture?

          Many of them are, yes. Anti-PC is a big thing on the neanderthal right.

          ??? I'm not sure what that proves. I think getting rid of at will employment is a good thing for many reason, not least that it would dampen down these ridiculous speech controversies.

          Is the Pee Wee Herman defense? "I know you are but what am I?" I'm so lost.

          No one outside my "lefty bubble" listens to me, so I don't waste my life addressing them. This is just how audience works. But I grew up in a rural town, know well the various right-wing mentalities. Walking & chewing gum: you should try it!

          The irony of this guy talking about "bubbles" mere breaths after saying cancel culture doesn't exist (or is just someone getting fired once in a while) is killing me

          'Police brutality' is a misnomer, a propaganda tool applied cyncially by bad actors who neither understand nor want to understand police work and by the useful idiots they incite with it. Policing is, and always will be, a dirty business: beware anyone suggesting otherwise. /1
