What people have to understand is that millennials are not asking for a second chance, most millennials never had a real first chance. When they were hired, it was in a cynical way with no intention of creating a serious career path or judging the hire based on his contributions or merits.
Bill Gates had his first commandment. His commandment, and not number 5 or 6, but 1, was “life isn’t fair.”
I feel if you don’t understand that, anything else you have to say is useless. If you don’t get that good people get screwed and bad people get ahead, you’re useless.
Here’s another reason i think cancel culture is stupid. Say someone really is a racist of the most extreme type who won’t even go to a gas station if the person at the register isn’t White.
If that person should impose their racist views on the company they’re working for, then you can use all sorts of legislation to penalize them for that.
But if you pre-emptive strike you don’t really have a moral ground.
when Saddam Hussein didn’t really have the WMD, that was a moral wrong on the united states, not on him.
Another analogy would be say there’s a known drug abuser in your company. You still don’t have the right to fire him unless he shows up to work high.
You have to remember that freedom of speech is the FIRST amendment, not the 13th or 14th. It’s the freedom that every other freedom depends on. We cannot allow cancel culture to undo our free speech in the name of the free market.
The biggest threat to our freedom of speech comes not from the Government passing a law against it, but from all the big businesses waging war on it in the private sector as a monopolized group.
Going against the cancel culture is like going against organized religion during the dark ages. That’s real balls, encouraging the bus to run over people is the act of a coward.
It doesn’t take balls to see a mob beating a person and cheer that mob on. It does take balls to take a baseball bat and stand up for that person. Sorry, cancel mobs are cowards, not people speaking truth to power.
The real reason america isn’t pushing ubi / universal health care and similar pro working class policies is because money and power are tied together and big business tyrants, wage slave holders, don’t want to give away their power.
I think white men and black men can agree on the Karen thing. Whiny weak prima donnas don’t do either of us good.
A karen is very likely to fire a young white professional in an attempt
to prove that she isn’t racist herself. They’re cowards and the
slightest controversy causes them to panic.
The core of our problem, in America, is that un-elected people have too much power.
They can determine whether you’re panhandling on the street of living
in a mansion. They can determine whether you have decent health
insurance or maybe the bronze plan on obamacare paying 1/2 your income
for it. They can determine whether you have a real shot going for your
next job interview, or if you’re just going to be libeled for petty
reasons. They influence our foreign policy, they buy our politicians.
And it’s out of that system that we got our politicians, and it’s out
of that same system which Trump came as a political outsider but still
an economic insider.
This is the real problem, “Systemic racism” is at most a symptom of this.
(To provide context, “Karen” is a pejorative being used to shame entitled fragile white women who complain and expect to be pampered, usually but not always by police officers. But I’m writing this post from the viewpoint of someone is interested in how this harms Whites, because we already know it harms Blacks.)
We need to support this “Karen Shaming” because it’s shaming weakness and fragility in Whites. And we don’t want that, because it hurts us too. Next time you’re fired for someone else’s mistake, realize it’s because someone who thinks like Karen did it to you. A coward.
The
problem America has now is that it’s hardcore into this cultural fit
thing. Nobody really cares what you get done in the office anymore, but
just how you appear for quasi-political ends. And that’s why America
sunk. That’s why there’s no manufacturing. That’s why we’re now behind
in tech.
You slapped the intelligent, hard working guy in the face who was the guy who was keeping the boat floating.
