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

Literally listening to the radio this morning..?

Oh my gosh, this is extraordinary.

The "stoning gays" has been debunked several times already, even that idiot Stephen King had to apologise.

Whatever feed/SM bubble you're in, it's telling you lie, after lie.

Increasingly bonkers.

You're one of the "everyone who doesn't agree with me is a Nazi" crowd.

I get it.

Sure, the right don't attack people and Jan 6 was a picnic lunch.

Evidence please? I can't find any.

Yep, and nothing makes my eyes roll harder when posters continually state ‘anti-trans’ obsession, cesspit, blah blah when it’s anti men. MEN. In women’s spaces and sports. Or else trans men would be a problem too. They are not.

Anti men being able to say they are literal women. Backed up by the far left and it’s why many women are not voting for parties aligning with this (Labour, SNP etc). It’s a women’s rights issue.

And yes, you do have to ‘know what a woman is’ to tackle issues women and only women face, and not men larping as one backed up by the ‘I’m so kind and liberal’ brigade. Women can care about defending their rights to single sex spaces/sports and ALSO care about all the other concerns mentioned.

Rabid trans activism is a men’s rights movement in plain sight and it’s relevant here as Tyler Robinson was in a relationship with a trans woman.

I didn’t call anyone a nazi, so you don’t need to be telling on yourself.

Dear The Far Liberal Left:

The genie is out of the bottle, people aren't afraid anymore, people won't put up with fantasies or nonsense anymore.

The names you call us don't work either.

Good luck.

All of those who were involved in trying to overturn the 2020 election - including prominent influences who bussed in protestors on Jan 6 - are/were far right.

That, obviously, includes Charlie Kirk.

The media and entertainment (especially comedy) industry have always had a remit, some may even call it a social responsibility, to hold the government of the day to account, to ask questions and even to satirize where appropriate to draw attention to the issues of the day. It doesn’t matter whether you agree with their viewpoint or not, or who the government in power even is, that’s their job. They keep democracy open and transparent.

This isn’t about cancel culture or consequence culture or even schauenfreude. This is about the silencing - the censorship if you will - of the media if they don’t support the current administration. This is about ensuring the public don’t get to hear different perspectives about the narrative being presented by the government and people don’t get the space to make their own decisions and form their own opinions.

This is dangerous stuff. When freedom of the press is removed, propaganda begins. Keep the people in the dark and feed them crap. What comes next?

This is well and truly part of slippery slope to fascism and if you don’t realize this, you need to read up on your history. The obstinate Mumsnet obsession with putting the anti-trans agenda ahead of absolutely anything else defies logic, common sense and will be the destruction of us all.

Kimmel was fine with it before it impacted him.

Really hard to have any sympathy.

Free speech works if everyone is on board with it. We appear to now be in a time where people are being held to their own standards. If that costs Kimmel one of his well paid gigs, sympathy will be a bit hard to come by.

No, this is nonsense. The MSM has been left leaning for 2 decades - that's beginning to end now.

This isn't the start of fascism, it's the start of everyone becoming sane again.

Absolutely.

How people who profess to care about free speech can fail to understand the significance of the government's role in suppressing speech vs garden-variety "cancel culture" is beyond me.

And frankly, I don't believe so many peiple are wilfully stupid. There are a lot of far-right liars and weasels equicocating right now.

Oh the irony!

Oh My bloody god. Listen to yourself. What do you actually think has been happening for at least the last decade.?
This is exactly what the left have been doing.
This is why we are in this situation now.
No. YOUR views are dangerous stuff.

Jesus Christ.

Are you not aware yet of the admission by Mark Zuckerberg that he did, indeed, help to swing that election by supressing the Hunter Biden Laptop issue and streamline Leftist Rheteric straight into people's feeds? He admitted it in a while back now. So the 'overturn the election' campaign was indeed correct in its suspicions.

In fact, he stated that they'd all been doing it. And look at the Twitter Files before you cast everyone unhappy about it as 'far right',

It's good job the NY times is know for it's impartiality on things like this. Said no one ever.

👏👏👏
Thank you for this.
It's bloody frightening isn't it.

I was reading about this. Americans have a right to free speech as long as it is right wing speech. Id never heard at Kirk before his assassination but, considering he is being lionised as a right wing Saint, surely it’s fair to say that Charlie Kirk died for Jimmy Kimmel’s right to say things about Trump without getting cancelled.

I think we are experiencing an influx of right wing trolls right now. It’s a worldwide phenomena.

The rest aren’t necessarily willfully stupid. They just have zero capacity for critical thought. They have - as the Americans like to say - drunk the Kool Aid!

i think we are experiencing an influx of people who aren't afraid to speak their minds any more. It's a worldwide phenomena

There, fixed it for you.

Are you suggesting that the leftist women who have been at the coalface of all this shit, who have actually been listening to and absorbing a decade of far left activism and suffered personally and financially for it, are now 'right wing trolls'?

The President can’t just demand someone be taken off the telly because he doesn’t like what they said about him or his mates. I don’t care which side of politics this edict comes from, it is suppression of the media.
