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?

This is like 10th-grade-level analogy mistake. You probably already realize that?

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"

well first of all i as i pointed out i didnt ever really hold the view you seem to want to attribute to me. second, i think its a pretty broad notion to say the least that an emoji constitutes an "argument"

third, that sort of rhetorical move is usually thought of as part of the phenomenon even if it doesnt really result in the most dire consequences. constantly hunting for petty past misstatements or old sentiments as evidence of bad faith or hypocrisy not part of how that operates

i mean that as a question "is constantly hunting for petty past misstatements or old sentiments as evidence of bad faith not part of how it all operates?" and i totally agree about self-contradiction, which is why i made my points

also its not a self-contradiction to change ones opinion, so you're making a really cheap point

my overall point is that you're really in no position to make digs about people's intellectual integrity here

The empirical data on this is overwhelming.

Though you might find me annoying, I'm not monomaniacally obsessed with cancel culture. The empirical data of my TL is there for measuring anytime! But cancel-culture-spirit makes some potentially more interesting topics less so. It's a block that must be overcome.

i used to follow you and i dont think what you do represents a much more elevated form of discourse and i think its actually pretty adjacent to those problems of online
