I wonder what it's like to live in a world of constant moral panic.

I suggest The Guardian.

Oh yeah, it's full blown hysteria.

[The Brain]

Is "thicc" really pejorative?

[Tamas]

I guess you need to read it regularly to get the joke.

They are my preferred news source, but their editorials often lay the progressiveness and anti-governmentness very thickly.

The pictured buses belong to the Toronto Raptors NBA team:

Why is BLM buying buses for the Toronto Raptors??

Boris Johnson is PM.  How could one not.

Wait, I thought Cancel Culture was bad.

It is kind of hard to think of what part of culture hasn't been cancelled by the radical right. They hate hollywood, they hate disney, they hate all sports leagues, and probably everybody else as well. I guess political propaganda is all they have left.

I would content that cancel culture wouldn't include "that is bad, so I won't support it".

CC seems to be more "that is bad, and all evidence of it needs to be purged from my vision".

Oh well who knows? SJW was supposed to mean insane culty types who purge with fire anybody who even says something off color...now it just means you are ok with trans people it seems.

Cancel culture is, from what I have about it, not so much "all evidence of it needs to be purged from my vision" as it is "make him/her/them pay for what they've done."  The boycotts of Goya from the left and NFL from the right are identical in that neither boycott thinks that they can put "purge from their vision" the objects of their disdain, but they think they can punish these organizations for taking stances the canceler does not like.

You'd think an Austrian would be capable of grasping that free doesn't mean free.

Deserving has got nothing to do with it.
