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

💖

So... They published an article in 2022 in which they reported Jimmy Kimmel as saying he was against the cancellation of Joe Rogan and Donald Trump because things "aren't always as black and white". I am sure they have a bias. But unless they had a crystal ball and knew Kimmel would be cancelled 3 years later so they needed to fool people into thinking he had been against cancel culture all along I don't see how that's relevant.
Surely if the NY Times were biased in favour of cancel culture in 2022 they would have reported him differently?
Or there's some 3D chess that I don't understand.

Not at all. I just don’t think you’re looking at the big picture. Just the issues you care about.

why does Trump never mention the murder of the Democratic Minnesota state representative Melissa Hoffman and her husband in June; or arson attack on the home of the Democratic governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, in April; or an earlier plot to kidnap the Democratic governor of Michigan? Because he doesn’t give a fuck about them, that’s why. He only cares about political violence when it affects right wing politicians and those who support him. Indeed, when an intruder broke into the home of Nancy Pelosi, and nearly beat her 82 year old husband to death, Trump joked about him at a Republican dinner.

What, even if the person on the telly is telling out right lies.

Lies that could cause violence?

And to think someone further up the thread was claiming that the right were guilty of black and white thinking….

You as in who?

Why is any opinion that doesn’t align with yours a ‘troll’?

“The MAGA gang (is) desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it,”

Which bit was a lie? Which bit could cause violence?

Even if it did, the Trump administration deals in lies every day and has openly incited violence. So the hypocrisy would be next level even if what you are suggesting were correct.

The Kool Aid was drunk when women started being censored, cancelled, lost their jobs, being told to shut up, budge up and be kind, that they were bigots when they didn’t adhere to trans ideology and for being material realists. When the fight back to reality began it’s suddenly ‘they are right wing anti trans rhetoric/obsessives’.

Your ‘they have zero capacity for critical thought’ is displaced.

Free Speech, in the American context, means the right under the first amendment to speak freely without fear of being arrested by the government.

The founders of the USA were groups of people who had fled there because of religious persecution. This was important to them.

It does not mean that an employer cannot fire someone who does not align with their organisational views, it does not mean that other citizens might find that speech so abhorrent that they shun the speaker.

As for CC - well the left is reaping the rewards of it's own decision to embed that into society. As Roseanne Barr points out - a woman I find odious, but does she have the right to be odious without losing her livelihood just for her views?

Love this😂

This was shocking tbh

So trump is in charge at Disney plus

People were sucked in by social media believing them. That's so naive. Some are wiser now.

👏

I have no patience for anyone bleating about this now.

I don't think Kimmel should have been cancelled but the "freedom of speech doesn't means freedom from consequence" crew were warned this would happen when they promoted cancel culture. It was always going to come back and bite you.

You are free to fuck around as much as you like when it doesn't result in your stupidity inflicting the find out on everyone else.

Well done, you played yourselves. Cry harder.

Jesus christ yourself.

Even if every word of that is true, it.is not a basis to overturn an election - nor is it the basis upon which they argued to overturn the election.

You're posting irrelevant shite hoping people are dumb enough to believe you have a valid point.

You don't. Just noise.

garden-variety "cancel culture" is beyond me..

@ThatDreamyLemonBiscuit what is garden-variety cancel culture?

Disney is in a mess. Tied itself in knots being woke and has bitten the hand that fed them.

"The Maga Gang desperately trying to characterise this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and doing everything they can to score political points from it."

Can't you see the lie there?

if you can't, you need to have a serious think about your motives.

😂

Completely agree.

What some people here don't realise is that there's a massive difference between cancel culture on social media, where people are allowed to express their opinions, and cancel culture by the law, which is what the right are doing. This is censorship and Fascism.

Did Biden try to cancel Kirk's debates? Did Obama try to cancel the tea party? Or even tell Trump to shut his stupid fat gob up about his birth certificate? No? Didn't think so.

Under what grounds would there be any need to cancel Kirk's on campus debates with students?

Absolutely. Some real skidmarks on here, and they arent all as stupid as they pretend.
