There's already a very long list of people who have already been cancelled.To prove to me cancel culture exists you quote an op-ed by Josh Hawley that blared on the front page of a paper belonging to a multibillion dollar media conglomerate.
Your hysteria about these imagined “social media credit scores” are for others locked in the right wing scream machine.
What else?
There's already a very long list of people who have already been cancelled.
But hey, "You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink."
If you want to continue to stick you head in the sand about the cancel culture, do please proceed.

While hate speech is not a crime, bias crimes are and some bias crimes may include the assault of speech. There are speech crimes, libel and slander for example. So certain levels of hate speech are protected 24/7. Some racists are unable to tell when it's not.Should hate speech be punished when the speech contains racist content?
Follow up question for those who voted yes: At what times of day does the first amendment apply to citizens who happen to be racist?
"Cancel culture" are boycotts when they're aimed at the right wing.
If they're aimed at the left, they're justifiable boycotts and expressions of free speech.
No one has been canceled. This is a made up thing.
The left's political opposition should be denied gainful employment, their livelihood, for having the temerity to have different political views and opinions?
Where is it posted that anyone is 'owed jobs'? What has been posted is clear and apparent sabotage of people even trying to make a living if they hold political positions or opinions which have the temerity to be different from the leftists' ideological purity demands.How is that any different from destroying the Dixie Chicks for being mean to Bush, or destroying Keurig machines because they were mean to Sean Hannity?
Boycotts are how consumers use their voices. If companies don't want to hire Trump officials, that's their prerogative. Trump officials aren't owed jobs in the private sector.

So you support the idea that any person which has a thought, a position, or an opinion which doesn't align with the left should rightfully have their lives and livelihoods destroyed simply because they have the temerity to hold differing political positions and opinions.
Good to know you support such a tyrannical 'social credit' system and it's enforcement. You should move to China where just such a system has been implemented.
Perhaps you'd do well there.

Are these prospective employers' and their money something that you get to control?Why do people owe money to conservatives’ who hold views they find loathsome? what kind of marxist system are you demanding in which people can earn a living for shitty opinions?
So very dramatic. And yet, all you're actually saying is I'm mad because people don't want to hire Trump executives.
didn't say anything close to that. I understand that it's a lot easier to argue when you're attacking a strawman, but it's intellectually dishonest - and it looks really silly.
Yeah, right.Oh look. Lots more nonsense that I didn't say - and some fake moralizing and outrage, too!
One more, and you'll hit intellectual dishonesty BINGO!
1. No1. Should hate speech be punished when the speech contains racist content?
Follow up question for those who voted yes: At what times of day does the first amendment apply to citizens who happen to be racist?
You have learned your Dr. King well... fight hate with hate.Punished socially? Yes. People who are openly racist should be subject to the hatred, scorn and obloquy of their peers.
Are these prospective employers' and their money something that you get to control?
Not at all.No, they do. You just keep insisting they have no right to and must be in business with whomever the right demands they be in business with.
Not at all.
If an employer is considering hiring someone that decision is all theirs to make either way.
I object to left wing pressure groups pressuring any employer's hiring decisions simply based on the political views and opinions of the prospective hire.

The capital riot was in fact roundly condemned from all sides, as it should have been.I don’t know who “the left wing” is. Mainstream America overwhelmingly rejected the insurrection attempt and was horrified by it.
That would leave you to demonstrate that any of the people who were targeted by this extortion actually supported the capitol riot. Do please have at it.Those who supported it should not expect support financially from main stream institutions.
(Ignoring your labeling of the capital riotYou have the right to label things however you want, you don’t have the right to label them for everyone else.
The capital riot was in fact roundly condemned from all sides, as it should have been.
I object to your labeling it an 'insurrection', it was a riot, same as the riots all summer long, which continue, and were supported by Democrats.
That would leave you to demonstrate that any of the people who were targeted by this extortion actually supported the capitol riot. Do please have at it.
(Ignoring your labeling of the capital riot- but you get to label?)
That leaves you to demonstration that this is the case as well as demonstrating that people who were targeted by this extortion actually supported the capitol riot. Do please have at it. Demonstrating such would be establishing facts.it was not. We still have Republicans either defining it down or insisting we had it comin’ cause the election really was stolen.
Except you don't. You just think you do, at least until there's some citations to back up your assertions.You can object all you want, but I have facts and words and actions on my side.

Yet it is rare that any of your posts have actual citations in them, much less backup your assertions.You’ve seen all the citations. You just want me to go quote stuff so you can hand wave it away. You seem to be of the opinion *your* validation is necessary to prove you wrong.
