So. Much. THIS! Polimath's thread on what you should do when dealing with pro-cancel-culture TOADs is spot freakin' on

After last week when Disney canceled Gina Carrano for her social media posts, cancel-culture once again made its way back to the forefront of chatter. Granted, if you’re a conservative aka ‘wrong thinker’ this is always at the forefront of your noggin.

PoliMath’s thread on not even bothering with people who promote cancel-culture is a short but perfect must-read:

I increasingly don't understand even the purpose of engaging any of the pro-cancellation arguments, even to refute them

The answer is "lol, this is stupid" and then block the pro-cancel people and never think of them again https://t.co/p9qhYcroGX

He’s right?

What’s the point? It’s not like they’re going to change their minds and go, ‘You know what? You’re right. Trying to destroy the lives of people I disagree with is wrong and we should be able to disagree like adults and move on with our lives.’

No, they’re far too busy screaming about white supremacy and ‘equity’.

A core component of the pro-cancel strategy is to get smart people to waste their time arguing against clear nonsense that has no founding principles, no respect for the power of words, and no consistency

Don't even do it. Just laugh them off.

Sounds like a plan to this editor.

I had people trying to convince me that, actually, what Gina Carrano did was outrageous & here is a litany of her sins.

I. Don't. Care.

I don't care so much that I don't need to *know* what she said.

I don't need to compare it to anything, I don't need to engage. It's stupid.

Yup.

Moving on.

Stop acting like pro-cancel people have reasons or principles or anything like a coherent philosophy.

They don't. Don't flatter them. Reject the entire premise outright and save yourself some time.

Reject the entire premise and save yourself some time.

Perfect.

Would this be canceling cancel culture? Asking for a friend.
