I'm going right. Look at Budweiser, Target. They have more recent major cancellations. Who has the left "cancelled" lately and for what?

The right by far, but you'll never hear about it because they also own all the media.

The left is so good at cancelling that you don't even know they're cancelling

I couldn't even list the people they've done in

Roseanne was cancelled but were those other people cancelled?

Trump being cancelled is news to me. I still hear about almost every word that comes out of his sewer mouth, no matter how much I'd like to avoid it.

the trend is usually that left cancels(or tries to cancel) more while the cancelled side doubles down within their own echo chambers.

are you saying those people were "cancelled" and by "the left"...?

Donald Trump - despite two impeachments, a lifetime of real estate and political crimes, and an insurrection attempt... is still a leading candidate with full access to the media whenever he wants.

Joe Rogan - is sitting on possibly the most valuable media contract in the world. Spotify shows no sign of regretting their business decision. He continues to spout lucrative anti-vax misinformation unimpeded.

Rosanne Barr - was fired for racist social media posts, because ABC/Disney made a business decision and Barr continues to spout more unhinged conspiracy crap that's bad for Disney family entertainment business

How did "the left" actually "cancel" these people?

The right-wing has been doing it for decades, it just so happens that they're the ones who came up with the terminology "cancelling" so nobody ever seems to apply it to them unless it's to stick it to them for the reason I mentioned.

At it's core I only see "cancelling" to be a more effective means of boycotting/protesting a company. In the past local chapters of x group could organize, but nobody gave a fuck about their efforts. Now with social media they're able to organize online and solidify their numbers against an organization, product, or cause.

The fact that the media doesn't refer to what right-wingers did to Target & Bud Light as "cancelling" shows you everything you need to know about how it's a term used exclusively to depict when seemingly left-wing causes/actors do something that leads to someone losing their status, job or platform.

Jack Thompson was trying to "cancel" video games for decades and yet to this day I still don't see it referred to as that.

This is why I utterly detest that term and look negatively upon anybody who uses it unironically; cause you're just doing the bidding of right-wing propaganda.

The right. Evangelicals were the original cancel culture, and theyre still doing it. It just looks like the left attempts it more now as by and large nobody gives a fuck about religious fuckwits.

The right whines about it the most and claim everybody is being cancelled when they're not. The right also tries to cancel any person or company that wrongs them in any possible way they get pissy about.

as mentioned, the right has been trying to cancel things decades, if not close to a century, before "canceling" was a term. they went after things like jazz, Elvis, heavy metal and The Simpsons (among what is almost certainly more things I'm forgetting) in ways very similar, at times nearly identical, to how they went after Target or Budweiser.

When people are "cancelled" for using slurs and stuff like that, you can argue they're also cancelled by the right because corporations have more power to cancel anything, and most corporations lean heavily right on economic issues and only pretend to care about social issues for the sake of PR.

The right. Tricking the public into thinking it was liberals/the left doing the canceling and censoring was the biggest victory the right ever got. I am amazed at how many people still think that's true.

When the left "cancel" someone it's generally people facing consequences for their actions and whining about it to their audience of millions. When they "censor" companies it is generally companies choosing to stop selling a product or willing making a change without being asked to.

Authoritarians of all stripes love the idea of "cancelling." It's bad in general, but worse from the right because they tend to have institutional power behind them.

I would contend that it was actually Lee Atwater successfully selling his "the media is biasedly left-wing/liberal!" propaganda. That shit is still serving them to this day to the point even many liberals/left-wingers still believe it.

All cancelling attempts fail. But a majority of the time when the left cancel someone, they are criticizing their actions. They are not actually trying to ban the person or product. The right on the other hand do try to ban a person or product. When have leftwing politicians ever attempted to ban books? Something that red states are banning by the hundreds. Two blue states have countered by outlawing book bans.

This is another reason I hate that the right-wing propaganda machine has been able to successfully sell this "cancelling" nonsense to society at large. Things that have already been happening for decades naturally regarded as the consequences of your actions is now considered "political" and "cancelling".

As you point out, Roseanne said some racist ass shit on Twitter, blamed it on her taking Ambien, and was fired from her job because they didn't want to be associated with her.

Before "cancelling" everybody except her diehard fans would be saying "what a stupid thing she did", now she's the victim of political persecution.
