1 week into woke 3.0 and they’re trying to cancel comedians
Don't care.
George Floyd was not a thought leader and he was actively doing drugs behind the wheel of a car and died because of the crimes he had committed and callousness of police thereafter
Charlie Kirk was a political leader at a scheduled and permitted college event who was intentionally shot in the neck to stop his ability to speak
There are lines.
The problem with cancel culture was not that people got offended, it was that the lines of offense were so insane that no one knew where to step.
Ten year old jokes resurfaced, fired
Your dad said a slur in the 80s, Fired
Tell your staff what words not to use, fired
"Canceling" is fine when the line is understood and reasonable
Mocking George Floyds death and saying that a drug abusing criminal was in hell? No one cares
Saying you feel good because a political leader was assassinated for speaking his opinions? People care
The lines here are easily understood.
Trump crossed the line with Mueller and I called him out for it.
I have always maintained its sad that George Floyd died
I dont care that people made AI memes of George and Charlie dancing
Dave Chappelle crossed the line when he said my friend being killed made him feel better.
Id rather live in a world where you can mock drug abusing criminals instead of political activists either way
Id argue beyond this we must mock Floyd and defend Charlie
A society that venerates a man who held a pregnant woman at knifepoint, does hard drugs while driving, uses counterfeit money, and resists arrest...
Or a society that venerates a family man who speaks to people to change their minds.
I know which I want to live in.
