Yeah, NYT is behind a paywall for me. MTG has no business being near public office, but if we support taking the people's voice away, then we're no better than Republicans. They voted for her, they should be stuck with her.Effort to Remove Marjorie Taylor Greene From Ballot Can Proceed, Judge Says

I don't have an opinion yet, but it certainly is an interesting development.
But you do support taking people’s voices away. That is what the campaign against the Citizens United decision is all about. The same can be said for the defense of biased content moderation policies from big tech firms like Twitter and Facebook. As a general, though not exclusive, rule cancel culture is more a creation of the left than the right as our colleges and universities seem to prove on an almost weekly basis.
Hell, they're usually the first side to draw blood as well.

I have an opinion. MTG and anyone else loudly supporting the insurrection should be immediately disqualified from running for office. I'm talking all office. They shouldn't be allowed to run for dog catcher.Effort to Remove Marjorie Taylor Greene From Ballot Can Proceed, Judge Says

Freedom of speech to me does not include attempts to subvert the constitution which she took an oath to defend. To me her speech is closer to hate speech than anything else bordering on suggesting violence. The same goes for any hate group. In my wildest imaginings I cannot believe the founding fathers would think "jews will not replace us" is an acceptable form of free speech. When a person or a group descends into hate speech, in my opinion they've crossed the line of decency. We don't need hate speech protected in my opinion.
Citizens United did nothing more than allowing the bribing of our government to happen out in the open. If I give a dollar to your campaign and mr. koch gives you a million, whose voice are you hearing?
Legal challenge seeking to remove Marjorie Taylor Greene from ballot can go ahead, judge rules
Greene had argued that the case was not likely to be resolved before Georgia's primary elections in May.www.axios.com
Here's a different article
The opposition to CU is about more than governing direct donations to candidates. The kind of regulations some would impose (and the CU decision prevents) would, for example, ban Koch from funding and publishing a documentary critical of Joe Biden in an election year. Do you favor silencing Koch in that way?
Something, something……..libraries and mathematics books. ……….as Florida and Texas try to out-doofus each other.
I see, can he fund it and someone else 'publish' the documentary? What's with the silencing bit? By not allowing any individual or corporation to give more than say two thousand dollars they are being silenced?
Choosing which texts to use in a public school system is not an act of censorship, no matter how you spin it.
Please answer the question. Would you or would you not support a ban on such a documentary?
Banning references to gender identity isn't censorship?
That's actually censorship in its most classic sense.
Correct.
See post #19.
You didn’t mention “censorship” in the post I replied to. You did mention cancel culture. Those two are not synonomous.
It is also not cancel culture. Nothing in those laws attempts to silence those books' authors or prevent them from speaking or writing about their textbooks.
Unless you're a schoolteacher in a classroom in Florida...
#19 doesn't make your case as it doesn't address the fact that textbooks are being passed up in order to withhold cultural information that is deemed politically unacceptable.
The banning of books is certainly cancel culture as it is used today. Can you provide an example of what cc is to your argument?
