Oh, lord help me. IF YOU DO OR SAY SOMETHING HORRIBLE AND THEN YOUR COMPANY OR YOUR UNIVERSITY OR YOUR FRIENDS SUDDENLY WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH YOU, IT'S NOT "CANCEL CULTURE," YOU SELF-RIGHTEOUS FART-NIBBLING NINCOMPOOPS!! IT'S YOU BEING A HORRIBLE PERSON AND NOBODY WANTING TO...
...BE ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR MISERABLE ASS! IT'S NOT A CONSPIRACY, IT'S A FUCKING CONSEQUENCE. IF I GO OUT AND FILM MYSELF PUNCHING A DONKEY, I'M GONNA GET FIRED AND MY FRIENDS ARE GOING TO BACK AWAY SLOWLY SAYING, "DUDE, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, WHY WOULD YOU PUNCH...
...A DONKEY, THAT'S SOME MESSED UP SHIT, MAN." AND GUESS WHAT? THEY'D BE REALLY, REALLY RIGHT TO FEEL THAT WAY.

SO IF YOU GO AND RAID THE FREAKING U.S. CAPITOL AND KILL A COP AND PARROT A BUNCH OF CONSPIRATORIAL NONSENSE ABOUT A STOLEN ELECTION, GUESS WHAT?? YOU'RE GONNA GET...
...FIRED AND MAYBE ARRESTED AND YOU'LL BE A SOCIAL PARIAH AND, IF THERE'S AN OUNCE OF JUSTICE IN THIS WORLD, WHICH THERE PROBABLY ISN'T, YOU'LL STRUGGLE TO EVER FIND ANOTHER JOB AGAIN. THAT'S NOT BECAUSE "THE LIBERALS ARE SO MEAN."
IT'S BECAUSE YOU'RE A COMPLETE, ASS-QUACKING, NONSENSE-MAINLINING FREAK AND NOBODY WITH FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELLS WANTS TO BE ANYWHERE IN YOUR ORBIT, LEST YOU SOMEHOW INFECT THEM WITH YOUR TOXIC STUPIDITY.

THIS IS NOT DIFFICULT. THIS IS THE KIND OF STUFF WE LEARN IN GRADE SCHOOL.
AND IF I HEAR ONE MORE TRUMP-LOVING, FAUX-VICTIMIZED, WOE-IS-ME WHITE DUDE WAILING ABOUT CANCEL CULTURE, I AM GOING TO LOSE WHAT'S LEFT OF MY DAMN MIND.

WE ALL FACE CONSEQUENCES FOR OUR BEHAVIOR. I DO. YOU DO. EVERYONE DOES.

IF YOU GET IN TROUBLE, MAYBE PUT A PIN IN THE...
..."WHAA-WHAA, CANCEL CULTURE!" HORSECRAP AND SEE IF YOUR BRAIN CAN FOCUS LONG ENOUGH TO ANSWER THE QUESTIONS: "IS IT POSSIBLE I JUST DID SOMETHING REALLY STUPID AND OFFENSIVE? IS IT POSSIBLE THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE BESIDES ME IN THIS WORLD WHO MIGHT BE HURT BY MY ACTIONS?"
SWEET MOTHER OF GOD, THIS BOLLOCKS HAS GONE ON LONG ENOUGH. SHUT THE BLOODY HELL UP ABOUT CANCEL CULTURE AND TAKE SOME PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. TRY, FOR A SINGLE BLESSED MOMENT, TO NOT BE A MISERABLE WRETCH.

You'll be amazed at how much easier things get.

God I'm tired. END
