When the right wing adopts cancel culture 😶

I didn’t like it all when the left wing adopted cancel culture and censorship. I thought too often scientists and government were too self confident, too willing to proscribe their beliefs on the public.

But I now see the right wing adopting all of the same tactics and I sure don’t like it all. While I personally find a lot of things that Charlie Kirk said to be incredibly distasteful, I think he had the right to say it and you had the right to stay home and ignore his rallies. Or show up and protest. He’s dead now, due to assassin’s bullet but that doesn’t automatically make him some kind of martyr or legitimize his message. That said, he had the right to be heard, not censored or canceled by either the public or private sector.

People shouldn’t talk about sensetive work business outside of work, especially on a public forum. But people have a right to have opinions and not have their occupation define all of their waking hours. People should be free to talk about whatever they want outside of work, bar maybe sensetive company secrets, when they’re off the clock. It doesn’t matter if you are liberal or conservative in your views.
