For Guller & Co. - this is what real cancel culture actually looks like, with the full power and might of the federal government behind it. Real, literal cancellation.

Just because GOP does it with far less restraint and with more government involvement doesn't mean that the cancel culture imposed by the left wasn't a real cancel culture.  Just because a school mass shooting happens doesn't mean that someone getting their throat slashed isn't a real murder.

The Minsky Moment

Mass shooting makes the front page and an inside fold.  Slashing gets page 8.  There's a reason for that.
We have, accordingly, always had plenty of excellent lawyers, though we often had to do without even tolerable administrators, and seen destined to endure the inconvenience of hereafter doing without any constructive statesmen at all.
--Woodrow Wilson

Don't y'all just love sophisms.

EDIT: I'd love to see examples of the left "imposing" cancel culture. I wish the left was as powerful as you folks seem to believe.

At this very moment the left would be cancelling stuff all across America, if it wasn't for the 'right folk' cancelling the left instead.

Yeah but you're in the hall trying to wave down kids during an active shooting to tell them that a knife attack would be just as bad.
Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

There is no ruling, the courts are closed.  The client has already been renditioned and executed without trial.

Want to know the meaning of woke.  This is it.  Wake up!

Meanwhile Steam was in the news over here previously for potentially radicalizing groups and hate speech ... thought it was all racism/nazis.

And many more. You know the type - nazi avatars, racist quotes etc. Probably mostly some edgy kids doing edgy kid stuff, but also true believers mixed into those groups.

He dared saying that the Republicans were using Charlie Kirk's death to score political points. Which is blindingly obviously true.

And they prove him wrong by scoring political points.

It's frankly disgusting. He's quickly turning into their Horst Wessel.

Don't worry, this is somehow really the lefts fault for some reason our another. In times like these what's important is that we remember that both sides are to blame.
