'The woke have no vision of the future' and the 'similarities between woke militants and the Bolsheviks who seized power in 1917'

[Marty1]

What is "go woke go broke" (a right wing threat/hope) meant to mean if not "cancelled"? Or (again) is it ok when you do it?

Apparently the phrase was originally coined by author John Ringo.

Urban Dictionary: Get Woke, Go Broke

Get Woke, Go Broke is a phrase coined by the internationally bestselling author John Ringo to express the opinion that when organizations "get woke" to politically correct actions, those same actions usually result in a massive loss of income. This is usually because the Twatter instigators...

You've exposed yourself again, you fucking stupid cunt. John Ringo is a total fucking wingnut. He happily attaches his name to crap like this. Note how his swivel-eyed op-ed is being approvingly reproduced by psychopathic Randroids.

Fuck off.

You haven't addressed my point tho have you? that you and others on the right using that stupid phrase is cancel culture, or an attempt at it
It's clear you dodged it til just now but what you got to say about that?

I think he's dodged more than enough questions to demonstrate that he doesn't argue in good faith.

Structural imperatives that restrict people's life chances because of their class, sex or race and ruin many don't merit comment when it comes to bemoaning social marginalisation and economic ruin, I see. Everyone else can go hang but God forbid David Starkey loses a sinecure.

Exactly.

Civilisation and free speech is under threat from some students and twitter obsessives. My god. How will the entrenched wealth and power withstand this potent onslaught. They even got David why can't I say racist things Starky cancelld. The humanity!...

Well, at least he won't be socially marginalised for having a contrary opinion, since sort of thing doesn't exist.

Some of these people are old enough to remember when the likes of Aldo Moro, Hanns Martin Schleyer and Airey Neave were being cancelled by soi dissant Leftists. You'd think they'd be a little bit more grateful for the relative peace and quiet of a Twitter row.

Well, exactly. How credible are these rape threats, anyway?

And Alastair Stewart got off very lightly, all things considered.

Would it have been ‘ok’ if the article had been published in The Guardian?

err, but it wouldn't have been, would it?
They have some standards, too many for that steaming great pile of shite.
You, on the other hand....

 

[Streathamite]

I don't get it. The right is rampant and has been for decades. Inequality has soared, social spending has been destroyed, corruption and nepotism is becoming normal.

They know they are being found out, and may be losing their hold on the masses as new generations come through

 

[Humberto]

Don't think there is anything that needs the Illuminati to be invoked about saying there are billionaire types responsible for many of our problems, have massive influence and are selfish greedy cunts.

 

[Streathamite]

It was an attempt by a journalist to negatively impact Dominos by tying Trumps now WH press secretary to a tweet between her and Dominos 8yrs before she got her WH position.

Fwiu, this is common practice of cancel culture woke-iteers, by digging through years of someone they targets Tweets.

Utter, total, complete 100% bollocks.
As Per.

 

[Streathamite]

For balance - here’s CNN defending cancel culture and taking on one of Trumps tweets:


Fast-forward to 2020 for another example of how claims of cancel culture often warp reality.

"One of (the left's) political weapons is 'cancel culture' -- driving people from their jobs, shaming dissenters and demanding total submission from anyone who disagrees”.

Cancel culture is about power -- who has it and who wants to be heard

It's a topic that appears with exhausting regularity: cancel culture.

www.google.com

This isn't to suggest that there aren't instances of overblown policing by those on the left.

err, except they're not. They're saying it's pretty much 99% a right wing myth.
Note to all; out of sheer clumsiness and laptop issues, I accidently 'liked' the idiotic post to which I respond here. I formally retract that, and apologise to all.
Marty1, your twattery knows no bounds.

Which is why I found the comment by 8ball to be puzzling. If I didn't know better, I'd have thought it was "criticising billionaires is anti-Semitic" kind of nonsense.

What the fuck does it even mean to "cancel" Dominoes? Not buying their shitty pizzas?

Not buying their shitty (overpriced) pizzas is just basic common sense, no?

'Cancel culture' is a bit of a clumsy term for all of this (alliteration usually trumps accuracy in these matters).

When it comes to choosing not to buy products from certain companies, it amounts to exactly the same thing as a boycott, does it not? With all the drawbacks and limitations that implies.

Sure, in terms of particular companies.

I've usually seen it used when internet attacks (sometimes involving some form of Twitter feed archaeology as opposed to something recently said) have resulted in people losing their jobs, or loss of sponsorship etc. out of a fear of a backlash against the sponsoring company/employer (which would likely involve boycotts among other things).

If someone posts something objectionable in public (e.g. Twitter), then how is it an "attack" for another member of the public to bring attention to it again later?
