[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t think Kimmel show should have been suspended by ABC for his comments.

But I also don’t think Trump should have been banned from Twitter.

The trouble with cancel culture is that when you support it based on the speech you disagree with when your “side” is calling the shots (and making the behind-the-scenes directives to Twitter—as it were), it will always come back to bite you when the people you can’t stand are the ones on the power positions.

But you can’t just get outraged and whine “censorship!” only when it’s the speech you agree with that’s getting shut down and the people on your “team” who are losing jobs! You have to be willing to stand up for everyone’s right to say what they want. You have to be willing to say “hey I don’t have to agree with what that guy said but I support his right to say it!”

That’s how this American freedom thing works. And that’s how we protect it. Speech that everyone agrees with does not need protection. [/quote]

Please tell me you aren’t actually this dumb [/quote]
