Excellent article. Thanks for posting. You gotta love social problems that contain the seeds of their own solution. Self-exile from reality of interaction to the safe space of virtual reality that can only be viewed thru one's computer or phone screen is a fine solution.Colonel Sun wrote: ↑Wed Sep 18, 2019 7:34 am Tablet | In Praise of Cancel Culture
One hopes.There is, however, a second, much smaller group—the ones who first send out the smears that then go on to scare the daylights out of everyone else. They are the fast and the furious who take to Twitter with absolute conviction and no nuance, who care little for who or what or why, whose real purpose and pleasure here is in scanning the crowd each morning for who might make a good stoning target today and who might be the one it would be most fun for everyone to collectively hate.
These people are absolutely right to shun me. In fact, I hope they do it more—because the grim-faced commissars of cancel culture are bringing about a renaissance, one that no one ever saw coming.
We don't need to build concentration camps, safe spaces, or rubber rooms to house the malcontents, they are building virtual gulags themselves. In the ole days, it was a simple as turning off the TV or radio, or telling your friends to "F**K off!" and walking away. Me thinks the cycle is continuing.
noddy, billion $ ap idea. The Virtual Safe Space Ap, when one gets offended, their phone automatically shuts down for an hour.... or maybe plays nursery rhyme music and shows a video of puppies sleeping in a pile.
