| IKR, It started with conservatives canceling the Dixie Chicks, even Mitt Romney has been "canceled" by a lot of Conservatives. Hell, those who cherish the confederacy and the flag that represents it tried to cancel the entire United States, those at the seditious uprising in January tried to do it a second time. Trump tried and tried to "Cancel" Obamacare, he also tried to Cancel lgbtq rights in military/etc. Those on the right even canceled "All in the Family" because oh no, there was an interracial couple. A few days ago those on the right tried to start a hashtag #TaylorSwiftIsOverParty which backfired and got the hashtag: #TaylorSwiftIsLovedParty trending instead. The witchunts for anything relating to Communism/Socialism is another prime example of Americans cancelling an entire political ideology they didn't agree with at the time. You act as if this is something new. Cancel culture is as old as the world. Romans canceled Greek Deities by changing their names to Romanesque ones. Christians canceled Pagan Holidays by co-opting them for themselves Saturnalia -> Christmas for example. You might as well just ask Humans to stop be human. When we disagree with something we boycott them, we shun them, singly or collectively (if there's enough people who agree with the collective body). |
