Liberals Worried That Without Cancel Culture They'd Actually Have To Defend Their Ideas



U.S.—As cancel culture has come under attack in recent weeks, liberals have began to grow worried that it might get canceled. And if that happens, they'll be in the terrible situation of having to discuss and defend their ideas with people who disagree with them.

Progressives have felt a growing anxiety over the thought of losing cancel culture and having to stand by their ideas and defend them with logic.

"Imagine how horrible it would be if instead of just canceling someone, we had to discuss differing viewpoints and then defend our ideas," said one journalist as he searched a Quiznos employee's old tweets. "It's much easier to simply silence them through cancelation, guaranteeing that we'll never have to examine our own views, come to a better understanding of the other side, and maybe even change our position sometimes."

It's especially hard for the far left, as Communists much prefer silencing people and exiling them to having to explain their defense of a system that has killed over 100 million people. "It's what Joseph Stalin would have done," said Portland anarcho-communist Jayde Wilson. "You didn't see him worrying about defending his ideas -- he just canceled people -- straight to the gulag."

it's amazing how freely the right concedes that they don't have any arguments against actual socialist or communist ideas, so they have to make up some imaginary worship of stalin's totalitarian regime in order to 'argue' against it, even though not a single person defends that.

that's like saying the genocide of natives is a cornerstone of capitalism.

What an embarrassingly idiotic response to satire.

No, that isn't the right conceding they don't have any arguments against socialism and communism.
There are overwhelming arguments and works against it. You just refuse to consider them and pretend they don't exist.
A true hater of intellect and knowledge.

no hasty conclusion this time? well, any idea they could have an honest take on. anything that is actually connected to the ideology itself that is.

Before i got banned from r socialist they were talking about the need to keep people (doctors for example) from leaving for places that will pay them better for their skills. We could start there.
