Right wing cancel culture at it again.

[Batmanisaplaceinturkey]

This really is a scary time for free speech.

Another example right wing hypocrisy when it comes to free speech:

Jimmy Kimmel Live! suspended indefinitely after host’s Charlie Kirk comments https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2025/sep/18/jimmy-kimmel-live-suspended-indefinitely-after-hosts-charlie-kirk-comments?CMP=share_btn_url

I wonder if they supported Alex Jones when he said that Sandy Hook was fake? No?

Meanwhile, in reality, what you're actually experiencing is the Left not getting it's own way in everything they want.

They will look back at this period in history, for sure, at how batshit crazy the Left became.

Which lies having an opinion isn't lying it is commentary on events.

Alex Jones is paying for his lies.

As should Kimmel.

Isn't this similar to the far left movement to get people fired from their jobs etc, when the trans movement was in force?

Oh, you don't like it when its you who's being targeted?

He said the shooter was one of their own, a maga.

That's not an opinion, that's a blatant attempt at deflection, a bare faced lie despite of the facts.

You are referring to a tiny minority of people not "the left".

Right wing cancel culture at it again? You mean the left can do it or decades but it's not ok if the right do it too? Hypocrisy!

But Kimmel wasn't part of that movement to cancel people. And you have no reason to believe any of the people posting here (if that's who the you is directed towards) do either. Unless the logic goes:
Upset at Kimmel's cancellation = left wing = left wing therefore pro cancel culture=.has no right to be upset at Kimmel's cancellation. Which is quite flawed logic.

Kimmel was an ally to the movement to cancel people.

hahaha

I'm just saying it's been around for years, especially there, just it's more blatant now (all over MN on most boards now, presumably because people are feeling more emboldened now).

If people need to be ‘emboldened’ to share conservative views then that doesn’t say much for the left’s tolerance.
Do you think posters should only post left wing views?

It’s nonsense. No wonder women push back.

I am not sure the MAGA can see it. Scary

It’s disgusting how the BBC keeps calling CK a “conservative activist”. That’s a very watered down version of “far right influencer”.

@Cluborange666 I've got some news for you.

First point... people have been shut down and too scared to write anything that might not agree with the left wing. Bullied into not expressing how they really feel about things in case they get 'reported' or villified and bullied... it's our way or the high way.
Second point.. people generally don't express how they really feel in real life because they're to fucking frightened to do so and don't want to lose friends, colleagues etc etc for their PERCEIVED so called 'right wing views' and this is because the left have shut down open honest debate when -shock horror- you may have a different view. It doesnt fucking make you right wing its just a different view. The left wing have turned into psychopaths that can't debate, can't understand a different view and so deal with this by shutting people up or accuse them of being facist, racist, or whatever.
So why is this exactly?
The kids/young people coming out of education now do not know how to debate or have a fair sense of History in this country. They have been TAUGHT deliberately only one way of thinking or seeing things. It's called communism. It's all part of the agenda of control.
We are going to hell in a handcart.
The silent majority have had enough.
I hope I'm wrong but I think it's too late.

Do you think that MSM chat show hosts should be allowed to tell bare faced lies to the public?

I'm saying that leftists had been told over and over that cancel culture was going to start coming for them at some point and that they were stupid to think they would somehow be immune. I'm saying we need to uphold the principle of free speech for EVERYONE, not just for people we agree with.

My post makes perfect sense. Read it again.

Don't you realise how bonkers you sound?

He didn't read the room and paid the price.

"Nancy Mace who went public '100%' blaming the democrats and calling for the death penalty, then when the culprit was found out to be right leaning there was no call for the same"

Errrr, the shooter is not "found to be right wing" your social media feed is telling you stuff that is not backed by the facts.

The shooter had a conservative family but is currently reported to have gone increasingly left wing over a period of time. He had a Trans partner and appears to have been motivated by his disagreement with Kirk's views on Trans (that sex is immutable). But the reality is there will be a lot of investigation still to do and his exact views will not be fully available for some time (particularly as reports are he is not cooperating).

As for the calls for the death penalty, those who were calling for it at the start are still calling for it.

Kimmel spread the lie you just repeated, in the UK a TV station would be sanctioned for those lies. In the US it is less likely but stations may look at the impact of hosing "comedians" who spread lies in the wake of someone's death and decide it will play badly with the advertisers customers. Kimmel made claims that were generated by people on social media and had been disputed by law enforcement. He was not a guest who was challenged by a host. He was the host presenting a lie as fact.

It is a restriction of his free speech to stop him lying, but should anyone be outraged that he lost a well paid platform from where he lied? Well that is a judgement call.

I see Hasan Piker and Destiny are also getting cancelled.

They've been contaminating the minds of young me with violence for far too long.

A great day for humanity.

Where have I said that? Oh wait.

Fact is we don’t actually know whether Charlie Kirk was murdered for his views or not, and frankly all that matters is that he was murdered, which isn’t defensible regardless of the motives.

But the fact is that if he hadn’t held those views, nobody would actually have cared when he was killed. It would just have been another “someone got shot in America newsflash. You know, like the school shooting which happened on the same day which nobody cared about because they’re ten a penny.

Except now nobody is allowed to acknowledge the views which Charlie Kirk held, he has now been all but sainted, regardless of the fact that he has been quoting passages from the bible stating that gays should be stoned to death, or advocating for the victims of rape to be made to carry the children of that rape rather than have an abortion.

But apparently pointing that out means that you’re celebrating his death? How exactly?

I can only assume that the people jumping up and down accusing others of celebrating Charlie Kirk’s murder hold those same views. Because nobody who didn’t would be reacting in that way.

Okay MAGA shill

What do you mean 'far right?

Are you just responding to snippets given to you by the media like so many are?
