Current Affairs Free Speech

What bizarre political times we live in.

indeed...

‘Strikingly sophisticated’ Taliban thrive on Twitter while Trump still banned

The Taliban remains on Twitter. The 45th president is banned, likely for life. There is something very, very wrong with this.

Anyone watched Dave Chapelle The Closer yet? Besides laughing my arse off he has caused quite the stir with a few of the communities insisting he be cancelled..

He certainly didn’t take any prisoners.

My word, I missed this.

No, he wasn't 'cancelled', he lost his job because his disgusting profiteering off the misery of humans directly led to the completely avoidable death of a man he exploited.

He's subhuman scum.

He got ‘cancelled’ (though that’s his show, he’s just irrelevant without it) because he personally drove someone to kill themselves for his own entertainment and financial gain. One of my mates apparently went to a live screening of his show once and apparently he is a proper bullying arsehole, even to the people who work on his show, which surprises no one.

She was forced out after a systematic campaign of abuse from a witch-hunting intolerant 'Woke' 'trans rights' hate mob.

It really is that. Puritanical, completely intolerant group think. Science and fact no longer matter if its contrary to the reality you want. If you want the earth to be flat, then it's flat, and you're a bigot if you say otherwise.

That that can happen to a university lecturer is horrifying.

"That’s the ultimate weakness of orthodoxies: the more fanatically they are enforced, the more heretics they create."

Nails it. You can bully and cancel all you want; all it does is send a message to others that your a bunch of bells that need to be resisted at all costs.
