  • I did read the article, it’s not good. This guy whines about cancel culture, cites a bunch of instances where reactionaries actually harm people, hand waves “well the progressives control Hollywood and have the upper hand in the cancel culture war” which is objectively not true and then claims we should be careful about weaponizing positions economically.

    He argues we should meet in the marketplace of ideas and debate things. And argues that homophobes and racists should not be fired. Go read that article, it’s a doozy.

    The problem with this article is that we have had these discussions. Just because this guy hasn’t participated and hasn’t learned about something doesn’t mean both sides have a point worth discussing.

    There are very good reasons to fire racists and homophobes. In fact, there are laws about discrimination in the workplace that takes the decision out of your hands.



  • I mean you’re on a street wear instance complaining about a post that is clearly not meant for you? Also it’s not weird that people spend money on clothing they like and it’s not weird they want to keep it clean. I’m not even a part of this community, it is, in my opinion, shitty behavior and no, I do not think wandering into communities and offering your opposing opinion is the point of the website.
