Oh yeah, it's full blown hysteria.

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

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

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:

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".

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.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

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

Deserving has got nothing to do with it.
