@vriska@lizards.live also this is one of the few 100% objectively correct things he's said
@anemone I just wish that rightoids would admit they love cancel culture when it benefits them (this is how ALL USA political discourse works and it infuriates me. believe in something. i dont even care if I hate what you believe in. actually believe in it
@beardalaxy @anemone don't decry it if you also do it
@beardalaxy @anemone hypocrisy is a greater sin than a large majority of political beliefs real people actually have
@vriska@lizards.live @beardalaxy@gameliberty.club people who claim "i only did it because they did it to me first" usually have pretty selective memory too. Like all the online rightwingers who seem to think censorship didn't exist before gamergate
@anemone @vriska I would wager to say a massive amount of the right is not the same as the right in the 80s and 90s that was all about the satanic panic and violent video games shit. Myself and pretty much all the guys I know irl would have been considered liberals 20 years ago.
Unlike what the right censored back then, and what the left began to censor, what is being taken action against right now is not benign. It is pulling back the curtain on extremist viewpoints that wish death on a major portion of the population. I think that's a little different.
That being said, if anyone has a full clip of exactly what Jimmy said, I would love to see it. I don't know what was said exactly. There is such a thing as dark, edgy humor and if that is what he's getting in trouble for that's a different thing entirely. Poor taste, but still.
@pettanko @anemone @vriska the main thing to consider is that because the left has gone further to the left it has left a lot of classic liberals more or less identifying with the right, which has become more lenient over time.
