I honestly did my best to avoid this debate, but imagine looking at this moment in history — uprisings around the country, 150k dead, 40 million unemployed, perfect ground for revolution and using your platform to decry cancel culture.

Cancel culture?!

Cancel mfking culture!?!
Imagine watching all these videos of day after day and feeling sorry for the person who is about to be canceled because of their five star racism .... and thinking you’re our ally
Imagine defending cops as working class people when at best their class traitors and facilitators of a fascistic police state.
And to think there are people criticizing the protests all over the country because it didn’t fit into their particular theoretical perspective of a mass uprising therefore “those protestors arent good enough but oh boy wait until our revolution gets poppin.”
All the way down to little fuccbois dedicating their timeline to attacking Black trans women because we all know the problem in society are caused be the people with the least power in society ...
But hey... I guess the real revolution is coming as soon as all of us in the commentariat get done with our next podcast, vlogcast, interview, article, panel or whatever else we use to cry about cancel culture while feds are disappearing people for shits and giggles
Mufukin cancel culture.

That’s yalls great cause at a time like this?
Folks who are confused...

Start with the ridiculous Harpers letter, to “leftists” defending Bari Weiss, to Matt Taibi and include anyone else who lends credence to the idea that cancel culture is the issue of the day...

Right now.... when all this other shit is going on
And I swear to god... the fact that the majority of this conversation has fomented to the national discourse because of a mediocre ass Karen who we all agree didn’t have the intellectual wherewithal to be at the New York Times in the first place
