‘Cancel Culture’ and ‘Karen’

You see, what they want is the “Freedom of Speech” to be Racist Assholes in public without you making them feel bad by calling them a Racist Asshole.

The question recurs, what will satisfy them? Simply this: We must not only let them alone, but we must somehow, convince them that we do let them alone.

(W)hat will convince them? This, and this only: cease to call slavery wrong, and join them in calling it right. And this must be done thoroughly – done in acts as well as in words. Silence will not be tolerated – we must place ourselves avowedly with them. Cooper Union, February 27, 1860)

Look, you can be any kind of Racist Asshole you like but don’t expect me to applaud and if you get fired for being a Racist Asshole?

You’re a disruptive Racist Asshole and you’re bringing down the productivity of the whole business by being a Racist Asshole, it”s just like if you were a Heroin Junkie or a Coke Head.
