| Let's look at the most recent cancel culture that I have seen. https://ottawa.citynews.ca/local-news/ontario-liberals-drop-... So election is going on: >Alex Mazurek was terminated after homophobic comments on Facebook from 2014 were unearthed. POLITicians are supposed to be POLITe. >The Ontario Liberals are dropping their candidate in the Chatham-Kent-Leamington riding after comments he made on Facebook several years ago were brought to light. There's basically no chance the liberals win in chatham. This has more to do with virtue signaling. "We are so virtuous that we would never let one of our candidates say homophobic things. >In a statement posted to Facebook, Mazurek said the comments were unacceptable, but noted he was 13 years old when he wrote them eight years ago. 13 years old you said something mean? Cancelled! What makes the NDP care what a 13 year old boy said? All people mature and get wiser since they were 13. What made the liberals go nuclear on a riding they have 0% chance of winning? It's about saying how virtuous they are. |
> It's about saying how virtuous they are.
I agree; that's what they're doing. But isn't there some virtue also in not judging adults for the stupid things they said when they were kids?
