Cancelling people for racism is fine.
Cancelling people for celebrating a terrorist attack is fascism and means Jews aren’t actually persecuted. Got it. |
+1 Can't have it both ways. |
| Thanks to Citizens United, “corporations are people” and have first amendment rights. |
I thought we were canceling people for their political affiliation. Is that still OK? |
| I see wealthy jewish folks starting to go to/support schools with medical centers like Chicago, Michigan, and Florida who took an unequivocal stand on the terrorism. While elite schools have large endowments, even Penn has a significant ally lower endowment than Harvard on a per student basis. Large donors are unlikely to give after this past week elites aligned with Republicans and Democrats are both not happy. Schools kind of brought this on themselves when they started releasing political statements mostly after the Trump election. |
As in it's happening now or you foresee it happening in the future? |
| 2023’s version of the 1990s sandalistas is scary. |
+2 If Huntsman's withrdrawal of his money is such a big nothing, then why did Penn have an emergency meeting of their board of trustees Friday night? If you don't like the idea of the Hamas supporters getting blackballed by firms, are you also upset anytime a "Karen" from one of those videos loses her job because of a viral video? Do you also get upset when colleges rescind admission offers to students upon discovery of a racist video online? |
Me personally? I'm an independent and think that a plurality of opinions is delightful, within certain limits. So no, I wouldn't cancel someone simply due to political affiliation. However, I would NOT hire someone whose views are antithetical to core civilized values (think the KKK, Jan. 6 rioters, Hamas, etc.). Simple and consistent. |
