The term is getting a bit of a run at moment.
the floor is open...

(LOL, hey Mods - to make this boring old topic a bit more lively, could we maybe suspend normal banning standards and other rules of engagement?
A bit of actual face-to-face cage fighting would probably would draw out what people reeeallly think about free-range posting and publishing.

Hard to know where to start almost every day there are stories here in the UK. Last week the leader of the labour party Kier Starmer visited a church to congratulate them on their vaccine centre and a food bank they have been running. Big mistake cos this church does not like gay marriage.No hatred speech has been said by them only that they follow the bible. Cue the mob (stonewall in this case) who accused them and him of homophobia. Kier Starmer immediately apologised and removed the video of the visit from his website.

He has been to numerous Mosques for the same thing but nobody has said anything why ? Cos suggesting that Islam is intolerant about gays gets you cancelled for being "Islamaphobic"

Cancel the cancel culture

For decades we kept hearing from the Right that free market capitalism and free speech was great because the invisible hand of the market would make all things good and it’s better to let anyone say and do anything and let the public decide what they would and wouldn’t tolerate.

Now it’s finally happening and people are deciding they’re not on board with systemic racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry, those same people are crying “Cancel Culture” and acting like it’s the fucking Holocaust or something.

It would be nice, I think, to just not veil meaning and nonmeaning in faddish terms when we could speak more plainly and not-annoyingly where possible. Just my two cents.

Oh and incidentally, literally none of the memes people have posted above reflect any kind of reality that exists outside of the pages of the Daily Mail.

You’re getting yourselves worked up apoplectic not over what people’s views are, but what you’ve been told they are by people who want you to hate them.
