Discussing conservative cancel culture

 So, the paradox of intolerance style sjw left may have bit off more than they can chew this time. The shooter seemed motivated by how hateful the gop is, and the shooter has a trans romantic partner. The bullet casings seemed to have anti fascist messages. It does seem clear to me the shooter was some sort of social justicey style leftist or something like that. 

Honestly, the right is PISSED. And they've learned from leftists how to crack down on this sort of speech, through cancel culture. Jd Vance hosted kirk's podcast and talked about reporting people "celebrating" his murder and getting them fired from their jobs. Ya know, the same thing the left did in the name of "stopping hate".

And now we learn why I'm anti cancel culture. Because this crap doesn't stop just at stuff we don't like. One day someone might use it against us. And that day is today. 

I'm not celebrating this. I hate this. I hate the trump administration and his authoritarianism. But to some degree, we should have tolerated their views. Again it's not that, at this point, I don't disagree with the paradox of intolerance. I just draw the line differently. If you're an outright fascist encouraging violence against others, yeah, fair, cancel them. Likewise, if you're encouraging or inciting political violence against the right, yeah cancelling them is fair too.

But, like most cancel culture happy factions, trump goes too far. It seems like he's using this crisis to crack down on any left winger "celebrating" his death, with celebrating being vague af and likely including people who just post cynical stuff pointing out the irony of his death. Like the fact that he died to gun violence while muddying the waters on gun violence statistics.

And in that regard, I'm gonna just say, f Donald trump, f jd Vance, and f charlie Kirk. I don't advocate for the murder of conservative commentators. I'm not happy this happened. But this forced sympathy bs the right is trying to push is a bit too authoritarian. I don't celebrate his death, but I refuse to mourn the guy either. He was not the paragon of civil debate. He called for violence against others at times himself. He was a scumbag if you want my honest opinion. Not saying he deserved to die. Not "celebrating" it. But again, I didn't like the guy and I don't have to mourn him either. That's freedom of speech. Deal with it. And f any fascist who thinks differently.
