      So yeah, when you say something inflammatory like "cancel culture is a way to make murder sound respectable", it's perfectly fair to ask "Who actually got murdered" It's what Uncle George would want (WWGD)

      Ha ha the hilarious thing is this is something Orwell literally went through He fought with the POUM (Workers' Party of Marxist Unification) in Spain, a Trotskyist org, which after they were defeated got smeared by both orthodox Communists and right-wingers as "wreckers"

      And he was like "If we were wreckers and bomb-throwers, what exactly did we wreck? What bombs were thrown? Show me your evidence because that's not how I remember it, it seems like you just make up abstract atrocities out of thin air whenever someone's politics discomfort you"

      I deleted a tweet and reposted it because it had a bunch of typos and Twitter has no edit button

      Also, that's a pretty wild rhetorical framing Acting like not killing someone is some kind of sinister, manipulative strategy to avoid censure for killing someone, by... not doing it

      "Cancelation" isn't a EUPHEMISM for murder if you don't actually murder the person It's just actually literally NOT MURDER The reason it's easier to "shrug off the severity" of someone being "canceled" vs someone being burned at the stake is it is A FACT that it is NOT SEVERE

      I mean yeah, in a broader context I would agree that the term "violence" describes a spectrum of harms and it's useful to use the term in a broader, less literal way It's just really obnoxious that, as Traister says, conservatives only suddenly discover this when it's on them

          They jeer and hoot and holler about how ridiculous the wokies are for saying that white people using the N-word is "violence" but suddenly if a bunch of people call a white guy a "racist bigot" on Twitter it's Serious Business

          Like yeah okay if having a boss who has the power to just instantly fire you and mess up your life by fiat is a "violent" thing to experience, and I agree that it is, then that violence is happening TO EVERYONE ALL THE TIME
