Jeez this article is nonsense! The author is invoking social sciences terms but clearly has no idea what they are talking about.

> There is no point in having some people's opinions be more important than others. That is the essence of discrimination.

No, open a dictionary or Wikipedia and see: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrimination

> Discrimination is the process of making unfair or prejudicial distinctions between people based on the groups, classes, or other categories to which they belong or are perceived to belong, such as race, gender, age, religion, or sexual orientation.

Taking the risk to feed the troll by commenting here. This whole embarrassing blog article sounds written by someone who mistakenly conflate many things. If people call you out because you’re acting like an asshole they are not “canceling” you. If they ask you to leave a community you polluted with your toxicity, hate for women, brown and black people, they are not attacking your “free speech”, simply showing you the door.

My god, people really need to grown up, touch some grass, grow a backbone and stop playing the victims, so fragile!
