Another Critical Race Theory thread

I’ve never seen someone eyeroll their own silly post, but it’s an apt use of the emoji.

If by “Cancel Culture,” you mean, “People in positions of power, mostly white, using financial pressure to mute academic pursuits they find objectionable or to advance Ayn Rand,” then several things are true.

  1. You’re using “Cancel Culture” in a way that’s very different from how the Tucker Carlsons or the DemonTrees in previous threads have used it.
  2. It’s definitely a real thing.
  3. Focusing on the people in power who are stifling academic freedom doesn’t happen as often as focusing on undergrads and other, relatively powerless individuals, because the people in power don’t like to be focused on.
  4. We leftists have been pointing at this problem for years.
