Cancel culture strikes again

https://acleddata.com/2020/09/03/de...violence-in-america-new-data-for-summer-2020/

Hence why Berzerker focuses on the "500" number. Because it sounds big, vs. what it actually means in-context / statistically.

This. It's overblown in their media circles thus they perceive it as a completely violent movement and not worthy of their consideration. Like @GenMarshall 's feeling imposed on by SJWs even though his historical accuracy is completely borked. "cringe" as a common social commentary take did not really become ubiquitous until well after gamergate.
 
And is this were the likes of Tim Pool and Andy Ngo actively focuses on the riots more heavily?

Also, I think it may be time for a new thread if the Summer of 2020 is going to be brought up and becoming the focus of the thread.

Why, you guys want to cancel BLM, I consider it eminently relevant.

Not actually sure when they got on the grift, but it certainly became lucrative enough. But yeah, you're right in that a thread for the riots if anyone really wants to do that dance again is probably better for this. I really don't have the interest beyond refuting whatever Berzerker's latest bunch of redirection is.
 
Ellen DeGeneres, 1997
Jocelyn Elders, 1994
The Dixie Chicks, 2003
France, 2003
Janet Jackson, 2004
Colin Kaepernick, 2017
The NFL, Nike, Keurig, 2017
BDS, 2017
Young Pharaoh, 2021

Is that whataboutism? By George, it is... So you're telling me the Democrats and Republicans support cancel cultures? I know they do, I defended the Dixie Chicks and I started a thread criticizing Trump for going after Kaepernick, unfortunately many of the people who agreed back then have moved right.

the two are not equitable, they bear zero resemblance to each other... like the recent arrests of a GOP goon squad in Idaho trying to attack a pride celebration. One side is trying to get acknowledgement of their humanity, the other is actively destroying society and the social construct we've agreed to in law (at least sort of anyways). Thus, the two are never equitable. BLM (I think you need a deeper understanding of that movement and how its been hijacked by libs largely) is not the same as MAGA at all.

You are again, focusing on numbers that make it seem like you have a point, but the provided statistical evidence points out clearly you do not. Plus, like other posters, you're happily conflating "peaceful protest" with "riot" when it suits you, and ignoring "possible insurrection" by playing it down as a "riot" as though there was no specific intent nor direction.

Also: not a Democrat, don't give a fig leaf about your THE DEMONCRATS crusade.

500+ BLM riots /= 1 MAGA riot...correct, they're not comparable. One destroyed businesses and eroded economic bases in largely poor neighborhoods across the country and the other delayed a congressional vote. The provided statistical evidence defined riots by how much violence occurred, it did not say all the other protests were peaceful. MAGA had hundreds or thousands of events and only 1 riot. If it was an insurrection then how do you explain the only person shot was a rioter?

Well, it doesn't help (My memory is still fuzzy on this one) if a field reporter covering the riots has a flaming building in the background with BLM protesters saying "peaceful protest" and the ticker tape (or whatever you call it "Title Strip"?) saying something along the lines of "Fiery but mostly peaceful protest after police shooting" (I recall it was from CNN).

Quite a visual, Biden propagandists show us a building on fire while telling us it was a mostly peaceful protest.
 
It's usually what happens:

there is so much wrong with this post. from the person posting it to the person who drew it up in the first place. It is a perfect demonstration of small r racism and frankly blatant misogyny.

One destroyed stuff, the other tried to overthrow our government and the transfer of power that is essential to our republic. One was in the name of human and civil rights across the nation, the other was in the name of dominating the majority of the population with the minority of voters. Trump and his close coterie were involved with this (it is why they did nothing for hours to stop it) and they were hoping that it would work. Jsut because their planning was not very good does not mean they did not conspire to commit this crime.

In what way? There's page after page of people claiming all the problems in the world are caused by white men and you're going to complain about a tongue in cheek meme which actually has some realities about it? I think it says more about you than me, the lack of self awareness is astounding.

I mean the last time I saw this meme deployed it was by adherents of an online harassment movement pretending to be folk of colour in order to claim that they're not oppressed. So colour me skeptical this random drawing is evidence of anything, much less reality.

If it’s subtweeting me then:
a) I was very careful and circumspect to stick primarily to my own experiences and what I know, so that comic would more properly be rendered as me silencing myself??
b) It’s also a perfect example of precisely the thing I was talking about, where a white dude, upon being confronted with the possibility of his intuitions being wrong, only then goes seeking out marginalized voices to justify that intuition.
 
Everyone who I've collected money from can only express my demeanor as "overly polite and only talked in hypotheticals". But, we can forever wonder if I was paid out a concern for their safety. The theatre itself expressed concerns for safety. Like I said, society has weird rules when someone changes their behavior out of concerns for their own safety. That's separate from whether the chain itself was speaking honestly.
A socialist party member here owed me two dollars, to be paid in food. She decided since I didn’t come fast enough to collect she cancelled the debt. I was floored.
 
That a socialist collected?

Ok, that one actually got a laugh. Thank you.

It looks like this...

There is page after page of people blaming the world's problems on china and minorities as well so that point is silly, also this meme is taking a tiny subset of a massive group of peoples and extrapolating it across an entire population. Furthermore, any african american female who believes they are not discriminated against systemically ls literally just ignorant or unaware of the current structures and how we got here historically. Of course, this is the point really, isn't it? If one goes ahistorical then all sorts of crimes perpetrated by white males disappear in current context. This is why the CRT outrage is racist too. So yes this is small r racist and so is the artist drawing it and the people promoting it. Your lack of historical context is willful ignorance because it allows you to perpetuate a state of the nation that promotes white males to dominate positions of power.
 
There are just some people that are not worth talking to. Conservatism degenerates minds.

The political side of Twitter has skewed anti-white (and anti-straight, anti-male, and anti-cis) since users of Tumblr had their exodus.

Odd, I thought you were a lefty that’s in favor of the movement or you just don't like the organizations :p. But I digress. BLM the movement hasn't come out to condemn the actions of the rioters (I know Bezerker is already on that already and I feel that a new thread on the subject is in order), Antifa, and other opportunistic bad actors.

This. It's overblown in their media circles thus they perceive it as a completely violent movement and not worthy of their consideration. Like @GenMarshall 's feeling imposed on by SJWs even though his historical accuracy is completely borked. "cringe" as a common social commentary take did not really become ubiquitous until well after gamergate.
I do know what I’m talking about in regards to this subject. Tumblir and the cringy SJW users have existed way before Gamergate. Dismiss it anyway you like, it does not invalidate the statement I made earlier.

I don't know, it describes very well how these activists come off as very sanctimonious and overbearing from people who don't want their help and feel that their activism and aid do more harm than good.

One was in the name of human and civil rights across the nation, the other was in the name of dominating the majority of the population with the minority of voters.
How does burning down city blocks, marching down a residential neighborhood in the middle of night yelling “no justice, no peace” and roaming band of Antifa thugs assaulting and injuring people in the name of human and civil rights?

A nation state is not the same as an individual or a group of people. Why does China, The People's Republic of China, is given immunity to criticism while Russia gets (justifiably I may add) criticized?

If one goes ahistorical then all sorts of crimes perpetrated by white males disappear in current context.
The question comes is, why should I shoulder the blame for things that happened before I was born, before any of my great great great grandparents (roughly sometime in the late 1880/90s), ever set foot to America? Why should be I be punished for the sins of the past and thrown into a series of struggle sessions? Yes, bad things happened in the past and the only thing we can do in the present is learn from it, rectify it, and reform it. Not tear it down and blame the majority of the people for the sins of the past.

This is why the CRT outrage is racist too.
No, it’s not. The issue that people have with it, aside having lineage to Marxism and Marxist thinkers via critical theory, is that there’s an assumption that blacks are the oppressed and whites are the oppressors and are irredeemable and villianizes them. Along with the rejection the tenants of liberalism and color blindness.[/QUOTE]

Both the BLM riots and Jan 6th were disgraceful attacks on US democracy and should be condemned as such.

GamerGate itself (as you do keep on referencing it) suggests this is dramatically untrue. The same goes for the likes of Elon Musk and his legions of devoted fans.

I don't know what part of Twitter you hang out at, but that's what I've seen. Take it what you will.
