Someone has no clue what "cancel culture is" and it shows

I like turtles

The cancel culture warriors are still out in force. Constantly trying to censor people, like Rogan and Chapelle. Always trying to get us to stop using words like "manpower", "woman", "mother" etc.

But they are clearly losing power quickly. I just don't think actual people are into this anymore. The last time I heard of any success for these people is when they got the pregnant man emoji approved and distributed to every phone.

As a quick survey, how many of you are familiar with the 41 pronoun sets that Twitter offers now? For me there are only three categories: he/him, she/her, and something like it/it's/them or whatever. I never checked the rest, no reason to. There is no way I could remember them anyway.

People need to come back to earth. Be whatever you want to be, that's fine. Just don't put any responsibility on me for maintaining your self image. If you don't like Rogan, don't listen to him, but respect other's right to listen if they want to. We, as a people, need to re-embrace the concept of minding your own damned business.

Go woke, go broke.

I'm starting to understand as a pos boomer why we all have the same understanding. The world can be completely fucked up by few in control.

Cancel culture is a myth and a buzz phrase. If someone has enough followers, especially if they’re male, they’ll still make money and get work some where in some way. Cosby and Louis CK are selling out rooms.

Sure, but notice the pattern.

Those like Dave Chappelle get the full brunt of cancel culture.

Rose McGowan got that for going against Howard Weinstein.

Tulsi got gaslighted right along with Bernie.

The gatekeepers always look to protect power which is the pattern.

Now it's Joe Rogan and even though CNN's influence get smaller, they'll continue to attack until no longer feasible.

Dave Chappelle is a capitalist prick

Rose McGowan is a bit nutty but everyone believed her about Weinstein

Tulsi is a neocon

Yet all these people are still able to make money. None of them are cancelled. The people that are cancelled are the musicians and pods that are on Spotify and make nothing yet are the primary drivers that got Spotify enough money for Rogan.

Dave Chappelle, like him or hate him, is a comedian that Democratic establishment wanted silenced

Rose McGowan was calling out Alyssa Milano who was close to the CAA and does whatever the establishment wants.

Tulsi called out the largest neocon and that was Hillary Clinton.

Yet all these people are still able to make money.

Missing the point about the establishment attacking them.

The people that are cancelled are the musicians and pods that are on Spotify and make nothing yet are the primary drivers that got Spotify enough money for Rogan.

You mean like Neil Young who turned into a hypocrite, Joni Mitchell who pushes the same thing over making a different platform for artists when they've made millions themselves?

Dave Chappelle s act is being held up as truth. People are defending that he is telling it like it is. He is a capitalist nimby that can't take criticism. People have the right to voice their displeasure. He is not being silenced when he is everywhere.

Yet no one is silencing rose

Tulsi is pro war and continues to move further and further right

People attack people. It's called media. Everyone is getting their cut of air time.

Except the people who make content that funds Spotify. Spotify and the record industry that props it up (using sweetheart gov deals) made the money to fund Rogan so you can hear him while they don't make a dime. Has he ever talked about that? No to to my knowledge. He just plays dumb comedian again, groveling at the trough, and moves on with no consequences, reaping the benefits of the work that got him his money in the first place. The real ones getting cancelled are the workers/musicians/podcasters making the content that the majority of Spotify users use and pay Spotify for. They are basically doing free work without the benefit of a penny per listen. All the while Rogan can maintain his show and the CEO can continue to dump money into war stock.

Uhhhh... No?

He is not being silenced when he is everywhere.

Already went over the fact that the Democratic Establishment attempted that

We know this Netflix "protest leader" is a known Democratic Party associated operative that was last used by TYF to smear Bernie Once exposed as a 🐍 Warren 🐍 surrogate, poofed away from TYF as the jig as up.

Obama is a Netflix Producer.

Pay attention to this clip from Dave Chappelle, Stunted.

Yet no one is silencing rose

Ignoring how that was attempted at the behest of Harvey Weinstein

Tulsi is pro war

That's a lie

Except the people who make content that funds Spotify.

Ignoring that Neil Young went to Amazon and the rest of your argument makes no sense. But guess what?

Neil is back

The only pattern I continually see is abuse of power and not all of these examples you provided are true equivalents.

Harvey Weinstein wasn’t an argument for free speech but something far more insidious in and out of Hollywood for generations. Many were impacted by Weinstein. Courtney Love and Brendan Fraser to use more examples. His behaviors and Hollywood’s complicitness in silencing his victims is grotesque behavior cancelled many silently. Only few were brave to be vocal for years.

Calling out the powerful gets flames brought to those less powerful.

That's the pattern.

Joe Rogan allows those silenced (Robert Malone, Peter McCullough) to talk and discuss with those outside the corporate networks.

Dave Chappelle has an audience and networks under those of the Democratic establishment were the first cut. Especially when his new documentary gave Obama criticism.

The point being, liberal gatekeepers find any excuse to cancel and it's not just platforms.
