Not all of The Cancelled are innocent.

There is no such thing as ‘cancel culture’ – it’s rightwing contrivance intended to divide the American people and sow discord and discontent.

You obviously have no shame when it comes to lying about the facts.

So, how does a democracy protect itself from those who aren't democratic?

For example, China is spreading misinformation in order to cause problems.

If you have a choice between limiting speech, or seeing your freedom of speech destroyed by that very freedom of speech, which would you choose?

We have far more to fear from American leftwings than the Chinese.

American leftwings are opposed to freedom of speech, so why the hell are you bringing that up?

Would you say the right wingers going against the Dixie Chicks is an example of "Cancel Culture"?

No.

Yep and I said it was bad for that to happen. I also said it all needs to stop. Who's going to stop first? Probably nobody, because the hate is so bad now that everyone just wants to see everyone else pay, and be hurt. So, it will continue.

Well, with two sides and only two sides of the political spectrum, Reps and Dems, it's much worse. If you had different groups, if people were able to vote more clearly, and more fairly, then it would happen less.

It is a real thing and proven so.

The left has created it's own thought police and aban doned freedom of speech as a principle.

They never got cancelled. So no.

Freedom of speech cannot be destroyed by freedom of speech.
