      i actually think there’s good potential critiques of cancel culture and online mobs potentially almost but everyone who makes that issue their metier just is either insane, deeply annoying, or incredibly stupid. why is this?

      Anyone with brains realizes these things are problems but there are bigger things to write about.

      also i thin its pretty weird to try to hold people accountable for past statements and views when you're anonymous and so not in any way responsible for anything you say on here

      moreover it’s kind of ironic to try to slam or ridicule people for past statements, isn’t the potential unfairness of that practice part of the critique of cancel culture?

      Pointing out self-contradiction is...how argument precedes? When the contradicting statements arrive with the same scorn for the (shifting) opposite view, it makes you a bit ridiculous, deserving an emoji. That's not what anyone means by "cancel culture"
