Putting down a marker now, Twitter. The first one of you who tries to cancel Mario Salerno with some tweet or comment he wrote 10 years ago will be met with a crowd of pitchforks. https://t.co/3q8kIJhg59

A vote for "as bad":

Wokeness is against everything the liberal left historically stood for.

Cancel culture
Ideological self-segregation
Excommunicating instead of engaging
Identity fetishes
Shaming people into conformity

These are *right-wing religious conservative* behaviors.

Take back the left.

The Black Swan warns against the Bell Curve because it normalizes extremism. Plus there's Woke and then there's SuperWoke, and you won't find that in your color discriminatory graph. Why is red "Nazi"? An insult to socialist and a soft color framing for fascism.

Ricky Gervais is a working class-born lifelong Labour voter whose creative work is usually about perspective taking and compassion (watch After Life).

Naturally because he made fun of some aspects of Hollywood elitism he is now a conservative because culture war is everything.

If Bernie Sanders sticks to every plank of his policy agenda but admits that Black Panther wasn't even the best Ryan Coogler film, would Ben Shapiro endorse him and he sweeps Alabama in a general election?

Sanders should just use his inaugural address to insist everybody say Merry Christmas rather than Happy Holidays, Fox will welcome him as a liberator.

In reply to Some people see the new

Yeah, comes back to some I harp on - war death's steadily declined from WWII to 70s to 90s to naughts to now; extreme poverty fell from 30+% globally to 8%, birthrate's in check everywhere except sub-Saharan Africa, and we now have the transport/battery/factory production/charging to counteract global warming. Combine with new food tech which will lower our livestock/seafood footprint and possibly microsolar combined with desalinization sheds, we have a lot of tomorrow's problems in check. Health/disease/psychiatry has some work to do, but... And education - how to keep from making boneheaded mistakes on a popular level, is high.

In reply to As #metoo feminists

Some people see the new polarization as the return of history. I see it precisely as the terminal boredom at the end of history, wherein nostalgia for the titanic struggles of the past induces us to engage in farcical re-enactments of previous history. https://t.co/ap5vUopmgs pic.twitter.com/g10VEk2wHd

As #metoo feminists reconsider the upside of Prohibition, the religious right once again muses aloud about an alliance with anti-porn feminists... https://t.co/kl3dfQwASW pic.twitter.com/wrBjfZkYA3

All of the bad ideas we confront today were dismantled when they first emerged in the 80s and 90s. They have since 1.) degraded and coarsened, 2.) broadened in their application, 3.) captured the fealty of many energetic young people, and 4.) acquired a class of apologists

They remain as "frightening" and sure to lead to the "depotism of thought police" today as they did then.

One vote for "quite silly":

.@RonanFarrow helped cancel some of the biggest monsters of all—but he believes the movement should have its limits: “I think cancel culture with respect to words and not actions, is by and large quite silly” https://t.co/JSHXFHcqdz
