Whenever I talk to people who are suddenly concerned about “cancel culture” or “online mobs”, my first thought is always: “Where have you been for the last decade?” I’ve been online long enough and, like many others, been receiving criticism and abuse online for long enough, to know that what some see as a new pattern of virtual censure by moral purists is mostly a story about the internet, not ideology or identity.
It's a shame all this happened right as we needed to be united against the foreign authoritarian dictatorship, the CCP, who released COVID19 onto us, while having bought many of our capitalists, some of whom control our media. A shame, and a coincidence.
Cancel Culture is about radical Leftists trying to destroy anyone who doesn't obey their dogma.
Sounds like Mexico, but here the Guardian is on the side of the old, brutal & corrupt elites that are trying to cancel our current, true democratic Government - our hope.
I don’t think so, it is about revisionism and creating a Wakanda type of history
If the 'elites' are anyone with an alternative opinion to the complainee, then sure... so the elites must be: students, employees, professors, researchers. Yes, we must keep these radicals in check. Who are they to ask questions and purport data based on empirical evidence?!
How does the Guardian manage to be so wrong always.. thinking its fighting for the working class.. yet they are the first to see what a joke they are.
No it is about the left closing down different opinions.There can not just be one opinion on anything.Trans people are not women.All lives matter not just blacks.I don’t have to agree with BLM and my view is valid.
Whatever, Guardian. Stop hiring children to do your reporting for you.
No. It's about a Guardian being Guardian.
Nope. It's about taking thighs too far. People are good at that.
BS! It’s about far-left ideologues realising they’re justifyingly having their ridiculous ideas pulled apart and so trying to silence critics as they have no arguments against it.
No, it's about SJWs hounding ordinary people out of their jobs.
No, it’s about the new elite exerting control over people, whom they consider to be oiks or not suitably ‘on-side’
The Guardian is really about......a load of bollocks.
BLM = Burning Looting Murder , Asian Grooming Gangs and still no Report released ? White Girls Matter
It’s more about a slain cops daughter being harassed endlessly for saying blue lives matter, or a 24 yr old mother being murdered for saying all lives matter,or a high school kid getting death threats for smiling If you’re conservative, you’re fair game to torment harass kill
Digital Transformation globally is in full swing now and as a result we will see more of this “cancel culture” occurring as we move forward as more and more people express themselves digitally with their views. Also we live In A generation where some people look to be offended.
Who is NesrineMalik to preach to us. Another of the Guardian's useful idiots. Surely her time would be better spent back home in Sudan sorting out their problems. If Liberty means anything at all it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
theguardiansucks
The Guardian, built on the profits of a slave owner but still hasn't apologised.
We need room in our society for things being canceled
Really 🤣🤣🤣
It's about silencing people who have a different opinion or want to debate a topic..... basically fascism
I was offended by this Guadian you are canceled!!!
I'd cancel the Guardian, but then again how would anyone wipe their arse without it!!
Does that mean I can no longer listen to rock and roll?
Wow you are becoming a little too out of touch now
Old and young alike 😁
Utter claptrap, it is about far left loons silencing anyone who doesn't adhere to doublethink and has an opinion that differs from orthodoxy
That's a lie. It's about closing down ideas that the radical left can't argue against
NesrineMalik Oh dear.... 🤦🏻♂️
oh yeah, this old elites...
To enter into the journalistic,academic, political or professional world, and sustain your career, it seems that you are required to have a certain outlook (or at least,not profess contrary opinions) on race,gender,sexual issues. 'Cancel culture' is an attempt to cleanse thought
Whilst I can appreciate that social media gives voice to some who have never had much of one...this does not OK the attempt to silence people, have them fired, removed from having differing opinions and damaging free speech...simply so that the Left can propagate is singular view
Is Gillian Philip an old elite?
It’s about students and unemployed people wanting to cause trouble. What happens in the U.K. is not the same as the US.
This you?
If journalists, academics, people in the public/media eye say anything considered incorrect with regards to race, gender and sexuality, they run serious risk of opprobrium and the loss of work, or their career,regardless of the overall quality of their work or their achievements
Good luck with the new elites then 🤣 see what social media power is good for without science and knowledge and how far will they bring the civilisation
Most articles critical of the idea of 'cancel culture' miss the point,just as this one does too.Numerous people have been 'cancelled' due to their professed views offending people of a mind-set that is intolerant of any views seen as racist, sexist or 'phobic'.
Still talking about niggers? any deadline to end niggers violent and criminal circus?
BS
Not Really
Zzzzzzzzz
aaiqbal 'voting with your wallet' is as American as 🍎 🥧
The dud notes guy
No.
Stalinist Lies
no it is fucking not it is about killing free speech and nazis i.e. left saying only way is their way i.e. blm etc
So what have we had from these Leftist clowns recently? Cancel culture doesn't exist. It does exist, but it's only for old elites. It does exist but it's your fault. It doesn't exist muh 'private companies'. It's always existed, 'I've been abused for my views too 😭' ScumMedia
Guys, get over Brexit
No its not
archasa Time to cancel the then. Fitting that ”old elite and cancel culture” is the very hill you choose to die on.
Sure, I mean who epitomises the elite more than Nick Buckley, the charity worker who got the sack because of cancel culture.
Elites? Most of the canceled are no elites.
Nup its not that at all
The rabid turn-on-dime group think organizing & telegraphing rebuttals against the old-school focus group campaigns is literally neutering these yester-year political machines
Amusing watching the left desperately trying to peddle this notion.
No, it’s about censorship, silencing and preventing free speech. But you don’t want to admit to that, because that makes you crazy lefties look like the fascists.
“Old elites.” Sounds like a dog whistle.
I’d love to see a list of honest examples on this one. I don’t disagree to an extent, but there sure is a lot of collateral damage in this culture war and nobody seems to give the slightest shit about those people.
Or struggle sessions.. 🤷🏼♀️
Crony Capitalism doesn't care much for capitalism and its whole consumer boycott mechanic when they've stacked the board in favor of their place at the trough...
In India, netflix co-produces & distributes films of this racist karanjohar. He's also a flag-bearer of nepotism & had categorically harassed actor SushantSinghRajput who'd committed suicide on the 14th. Had it been in the US, they'd have strongly condemned racism & nepotism.
F***ing BLM
Marxist
Es mucho más compleja la premisa de que las viejas elites pierdan poder a través de las redes sociales. Siempre depende de qué o quién sostenga un medio. En Argentina las grandes empresas de comunicación siguen manejadas por gente bastante carancho.
The ‘woke’ left are the shock troops for the elite. You are helping institute an Orwellian society of mass censorship on behalf of billionaire elites who use race as a means of dividing and ruling society.
we can't believe,.... it happened again
Or it’s about firing a regular person for a perceived insensitivity to the woke left. It’s not about elites anymore
When I was your age 'cancel culture' was called 'employment at will'
Yes. The platform of power has changed.
