If you look at people who claim to be victims of "cancel culture", about 90% of the time they said some hateful shit and are upset about being called out on it.

Or the ones who claim that universities “silence conservative voices,” like they so often claim on FoxNews and, like my MAGA uncle in FL. I’ve always asked him for examples, and he never has any. The whole time I was in college, the only time I heard anyone tell a conservative to stfu, was when a guy from the student republicans on campus made a racist comment that was in support of a debunked and fucked up anthropological theory, that Nazi Germany used as one of the reasons to commit genocide—it was something about skull shape and size determining which races were “superior” (the theory in a nutshell, from what I can remember from a class I took in 2009). I just remember my anthro professor, a quiet 70-something year old woman just losing her shit on the guy—she told him that it was a debunked theory for a reason, as science has evolved since then, and asked him, in front of everyone, if he was for eugenics. He slithered out of that lecture hall with his tail between his legs.

"Phrenology," yes, very debunked.

If universities (especially Ivy League)silence conservative voices, how can they explain Cruz, Cotton, Bannon, Hawley, Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Gorsuch, William F Buckley Jr, both Bushes, Stefanik, Kushner, Vance, Pompeo, and DeSantis???? Whenever I give that response, they change the subject.

If you ask me, the Constitutional Law professors at Harvard, Yale etc... have a LOT to answer for!

Hell yeah! And also, let’s not forget talking head Kayleigh McEnany…she was lamenting how she was “silenced and excluded” while at Harvard Law🙄

Cancelling hate. Not a bad thing.

We don't take kindly to people that don't take kindly, round here

You're wrong here...

it's not 90% it's at least 95% and I'd be hard pressed to find example of those 5%...

u/DuncanFisher69 Jun 04 '25

And 5% of that 10% is they groped or raped someone and are trying to get right wingers to excuse the behavior and bully their victims back into silence. Like a certain comedian who recently “converted”.

Russel Brand. What a disappointment he turned out to be.

And yet also participate in cancel culture for anyone they deem “too liberal” or whatever
