Cancel Culture thread

[Ibanez]

Is that even a news source? Where do people find these weird sites? The echo chambers are really insulated these days.

And regardless, Biden is already Teflon for these types of things - he sent his kids to a white private school to avoid busing into the inner city with Black kids in the '70's, he plagiarized political speeches in the late '80's in a previous run for President, he authored the crime bill and labeled people super predators that led to a generation of Black youths being committed to the criminal justice system, and he sexually harassed women. And he's clearly suffering a mental decline likely due to his advanced age. And he'll likely be elected President in November because the current office holder is at least equally repugnant. Political institutions have and are failing us.

Yeah, none of that stuff that Joe did in the 70s, 80s, 90s matters. But presentism does, and on the campaign trail, press conferences, debates this fall when you can't string 2 sentences together with getting totally bewildered & confused, and when the cognitive decline is getting worse (IMHOP) is why I'm not worried about Biden winning.

Presentism? Good word. I had to look that up.

The debates this fall will be a confused, gaffe machine vs a lying and hyperbole. Neither will say anything of substance and it'll be a shit show. Trump acting like a childish ass that can't speak with facts or reason and Biden, a senile old man who thinks he's at the park talking to the birds.

Apparently I didn't use it in its correct context- I was thinking it meant current means way more than past. But apparently 'presentism' would be like the cancel culture thing looking at 18th and 19th century mores through a 21st century lens, or in the case of Biden 70s/80s/90s through a present lens.

I was just thinking the decades ago stuff doesn't matter nearly as much as the present. Perhaps I should have used 'recentism' instead.

Aaannndddd Biden's ancestors owned slaves...this should end well...

Well don't expect the msm to run anything like this about Biden...hell they probably don't even realize he has been in a basement this whole time.

Naw, ballot harvesting will be an all time high this Nov. The DNC will be balls to the wall and I fully expect boxes of ballots to be found in the days following election day.

I had a mild disagreement with a life long friend this morning. Now he’s blocked my number and unfriended me and blocked me on facebook. He’s MAGA-ness can’t tolerate civil and respectful differences. Fuck him.

Doesn’t sound very “mild” to me. Your fuse is pretty short.

It was. Nobody every got angry or personal. Neither of raised our voice. Another friend was involved and he’s been blocked too. The conversation sort of went like this.

Marty: I can’t believe they took down Calhoun. Are they going to rename Charleston next?

Me: I get your point. But Calhoun isn’t someone we should be honoring.

Marty: it’s erasing history.

Me: Taking down a statue isn’t erasing history. You might not be offended but there are people in this country that are because they’re black.

Rhett: You can still read about him. You can still see his picture. Nobody is stopping you from doing that.

Marty: are you shitting me?

Me: alright man. I’ll talk to you later.




You’d think after 30 years of friendship we could have a difference of opinion. After he went full MAGA he’s become a fuckin nightmare to be around. Which is surprising because he’s the very person that Trump has a history of screwing over. - small business owner.


I guess it’s for the best. Which is a shame.

I'd expect Fox News to run something about it. That's as msm as any other media source. Just with a red tint.

Antifa guy arrested for effort in tearing down statues in DC.

Federal law enforcement officials on Thursday arrested a man in Washington they call a “ringleader” in the recent attempt to destroy the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square near the White House.

A Leftist professor, Claira Janover, got fired from Harvard for a past tweet encouraging stabbing of people that said "all lives matter". We'll see how this cancel culture trend goes now that Leftists are losing their jobs too.

Was that the Asian chick? I thought she was a recent Harvard GRAD, not a professor?

You’re right, AZ. She graduated in May and just got shitcanned by Deloitte. They’re setting up a GoFundMe account for the Khundt. Karma, bitches!

FedEx is asking the Redskins to change the name. I believe it's the largest team sponsor (and stadium namesake).

Reports are Nike and PepsiCo may follow soon.

Pathetic it'll take corporate America to change the name instead of doing it because it's right. But whatever, as long as it happens.

Just because a bunch of woke, whiny faggity, cancel culture liberals don’t like the name, doesn’t mean it should be changed.

Nah, it's literally a racist name. From 2014:



I remember this issue for at least 15 years now (if not longer). REALLY hope its finally coming to a head this time around.

ps. DC won't allow the Redskins to move back to RFK site unless they change the name. Good stuff.

Also Nike just removed all Redskins items off their site.
