Cancel culture. What can you say about it? What can you say about it and not get fired?
These are the questions of the time. Some people are absolutists and others believe it's not canceling to hold someone accountable.
Then there's folks like this.
Lots of people getting “cancelled” — losing their jobs/positions — for expressing solidarity with Palestinians suffering human rights abuses. Lots of people on the right who lament “Cancel Culture” apparently cheering this on as if it’s well deserved. The biggest hypocrites going

First of all, nearly no one (if anyone) has been fired for merely expressing solidarity with Palestinians. So we start off with that little bit of spin. Then next up, he calls out the hypocrisy of the right who is against cancel culture but really cheer it on for a person merely expressing support for the Palestinian people.
There's just one small problem - yep, you guessed it. The hypocrisy.
So you don’t agree with it unless it’s applied to people you disagree with who actually stand to be impacted materially. Got it

Yes, we just said it, we don't like the hypocrites.

No. Potential employers have been warned about people seen openly expressing support for terrorism. Not pro Palestinian rights, terrorism.

This is a good point. One that is intentionally ignored.
“I was fired for showing solidarity with people who cheer when their terrorist government invaded an adjacent country and kills, rapes, tortures, beheads, and kidnaps innocent civilians. I can’t believe this is happening to me.” https://t.co/Sr5OlVil7g

1. Aha! I will have power forever! Time to crush my enemies by dispensing of these rules of fair play!
2. Oh no! An unforeseeable event has changed the loyalties of the underlying coalition, such that I am now endangered!

We're not sure what this professor is saying, but we think it's those "smart" words. It might be just saying, "it's OK when I do it." It's a good thread, seriously.
We're not doing the cancelling, we're just enjoying the show.

When the Left cancels, it is in accordance with their principles to punish the Non believers of their ideology
When they are canceled in turn, they justly deserve it.

That may be a little harsh. In fact there were so many Tweets that had those special words we can't say here, this was one of the nicer ones.

Oh, right.
Oh please. They're not being canceled for just "saying 'free Palestine'". pic.twitter.com/OKSJyt6bGp

Closing with this one not because the Tweep is close to the author, but because it's the receipts. They were taken from the TL of the most excellent @StopAntisemites Twitter (X) account.
