Incredible that some people think my getting fired for criticizing Israel disproves my point that left-wing speech is subject to censorship while “right wing opinions are everywhere.” I wasn’t subjected to “cancel culture” but rather old fashioned ideological hegemony.https://twitter.com/PrisonPlanet/status/1359967153806594048 …
My argument has always been that right wingers who complain about being censored by “cancel culture” are actually being heard loud and clear and have giant platforms while speech in the defense of the marginalized and excluded is suppressed.
What happened to me shows that my analysis is correct. There was no “woke Twitter mob.” I challenged the interests of a powerful government and questioned the consensus around supporting it.
Saying that “cancel culture” is a bogeyman does not mean that the world has no censorship in it. It just means that calling the situation “cancel culture” is like saying Gaza is being “canceled” by a blockade. The problem is oppressive power structures.
This did not age very well. Your hypocrisy can around full circle.
What if cancel culture & ideological hegemony are two different ways of describing the same thing?
This is the comedy that PJW was referring to in his famous tweet.
Isn't their whole thing that the perpetrators of cancel culture are self-righteous woke twitter mobs and not the same institutionally powerful people who have always held sway?
Most of the people who have been “canceled” aren’t even on the right, nor are they public figures with any kind of substantial platform. They’re ordinary people who have had either minor or flat out false accusations leveled against them & lost their jobs as a result.
