"Getting Canceled" has become an upward career move on the right - let's say you're a creative who had one good idea they're running out of ways to coast on (J.K. Rowling), or in a medium that's been slowly dying out for a long time (Scott Adams) or built up a reputation over decades for being tough to work with, a jerk to fellow cast and crew members and a pain to producers (Roseanne Barr).

Just say something edgy on Twitter that fits the Right's narrative and Get Canceled! You'll go from has-been to cause celebre overnight and be able to milk that through at least one junket tour, maybe more!

I’m an Independent voter so I see both sides with cancel culture. The goal of most of the left, apparently, is to punish and destroy. The right tends to have a narrative of ‘take your money somewhere else.’ BIG difference.

Nice try pal. Started reading your post and even though I don’t believe in the cancel culture, I respected you perspective on the issue, until I got to the paragraph where you clearly don’t like Republicans using the same tactic. The old double standard. Lol

Nice try pal. Read both posts and you seem to believe the Republican Nazi Party's attempt to block voting, reduce Social Security, ban any mention of people who are not straight men and women, and ignore reality is the same as the Democratic attempst to eliminate all those things. IOW, you are a Republican Nazi MAGAT of the worst order.
