Here’s a list for you to educate yourself on what is or isn’t currently nazi shit online:

And they thrive on your ignorance, they are out there and they aren’t just recruiting for numbers, they’re also recruiting for people like you who are dismissive of them, because if your dismissive of them then you’re also dismissive of those of us trying to educate people about them, they want people to ignore both them and us.
Also cancel culture doesn’t exist, consequence culture is what exists, the only people that removed about cancel culture are the ones who’s bad deeds have caught up with them and they don’t want accountability for their actions, so they, and their stupid ignorant sycophants cry “I’m being cancelled!” When in fact they were just being pieces of shit that accountability is finally catching up to.
No, they thrive on your fear and outrage. As they say, there’s no such thing as bad publicity. If they manage to tick you off, people who like watching you get angry will be attracted to their side.
Really? I can point to several examples where someone’s career was ruined just because they were “cancelled” ([here are three CBS reported on] (https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cancel-culture-changed-lives-forever-cbsn-originals/)).
Usually what happens is this:
The best strategy, apparently, is to not apologize. That ticks off the group, but it also generally reduces how much publicity the event gets, which means there’s a decent chance for it to blow over. In some cases, this leads to weird extremist subgroups because the person attracts the wrong sorts, and in others the person is able to change their behavior so that group comes back after forgetting about the incident.
It’s incredibly stupid that apparently apologizing is punished, but that’s how it seems to work out. Those who have been targeted that don’t apologize tend to not be as impacted.
That said, I’ll look through those links. I’m always interested to identify bigots so I can avoid them.
