[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 4795725, member: 56035"] The cancel culture was pioneered by the red baiting of the capitalist elites and their shock troops in agencies such as the FBI to break, often through violence, radical movements and labor unions. Tens of thousands of people, in the name of anti-communism, were cancelled out of the culture. The well-financed Israel lobby [URL='https://www.rt.com/op-ed/515308-israel-deplaform-cancel-culture-guardian/']is a master of the cancel culture[/URL], shutting down critics of the Israeli apartheid state and those of us who support the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement as anti-Semites. The cancel culture fueled the persecution of Julian Assange, the censorship of WikiLeaks and the Silicon Valley algorithms that steer readers away from content, including my content, critical of imperial and corporate power. In the end, this bullying will be used by social media platforms, which are integrated into the state security and surveillance organs, not to promote, as its supporters argue, civility, but ruthlessly silence dissidents, intellectuals, artists and independent journalism. Once you control what people say you control what they think. [URL unfurl="true"]https://scheerpost.com/2021/02/15/hedges-cancel-culture-where-liberalism-goes-to-die/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
