Absolutely nobody likes these knobheads Tubey, but they have been around forever and went digital at the same time as the rest of modern society. What exactly is it you want to do?

Lets sort this. Give us names, who are these leftist cancel culture woke warriors we need to condemn? Send an Excel Spreadsheet of the wokists to me and Deadsoft and we will chair a bi monthly meeting with the rest of The Left and forward on our condemnations to the President of The Right so that they know that we don't approve. Hopefully this results in less slam dunks for The Right and us PLAYING RIGHT INTO THEIR HANDS

Can't make it to the next meeting unfortunately, it's my week to knock on the doors of the Red Wall voters to tell them they're racist. Guess we'll have to wait even longer before we stop giving the right exactly what they want.

I can't argue against 'it doesn't exist'.

But let's say your assertion is true, and this is just the minority and the effect is exaggerated - OK fine, but the onus is then on the majority to disown that minority, because the effect is effectively exaggerated and therefore harmful.

The above are doing their usual - trying to make out like I'm saying the 'left' are all to a man and woman on a crusade to do stupid stuff, but I'm obviously not saying that. I'm saying they shouldn't support it because, even if they do think it's stupid, at least they share a common enemy, so it's all good.

You say you and your friends roll your eyes at it; that's all I'm doing, but pointing out the obvious - and that is if you are left wing and you are rolling your eyes at it, what do you think the reaction is from everyone else?

I mean, evidence it exists would probably go someway towards this.
 
The left have seriously shown themselves up over this. I’ve not watched the programme, but then again I don’t watch the BBC nor ITV nor Sky News. But it appears the bitterness, the attempt to manipulate advertisers and the rejection of any other view apart from their own, is showing up the left for what they are, arrogant, manipulative and intolerant. The problem they still face is that the vast majority of the U.K. populace reject these imbecilic moves but are having their eyes fully opened to the modus operandi...they are shooting themselves in the foot....

I don't believe you because all the polling evidence suggests it wasn't true. You haven't shown any evidence you have just said 'it IS true' despite being shown polling numbers that don't back that up. And you call them 'unforced errors' or whatever. They aren't. If the right wing media choose to portray someone or something in a particular light, they will do this. The answer to this, despite your repeated claims, isn't to do nothing or to water down any attempt to change society.

That Google 'evidence' is nonsense. You do the same for Labour and you get Diane Abbott. Are you saying that Labour have disowned her? And LOL at the idea the Tories disowned Swayne when he is literally a Tory MP who stood in 2019.

And you have a Labour Party where the leader has supported the police, been against damage on protests, is very much not 'ideologically pure' but apparently this still isn't enough for you because he took a knee? I just don't actually get what you're asking them to do.

Come on now mate, he put that it's true in ITALICS!!

That means it's definitely true, no comebacks for life.
 
I do get immense pleasure seeing free marketeers and permanently angry people having a complete meltdown over corporate business alleged wokeism.

Watching the very people who are so obsessed this 'terrible' cancel culture being a thing then going full-on cancel culture is a joy. Anti cancel culture goes cancel culture, it's brilliant.

Even the most naive adult in the world knows corporate business is amoral, because its not human emotion and only cares about profit. So it neither gives a toss about humans and will literally say anything to shift more of its own product. That's Capitalism. These people worship Capitalism, its the opposite of the 'socialism. But when the corporate business bull poop to sell more stuff involves saying something the permanently angry hates, watch them have meltdown and tantrums.

However, the best bit though is that when corporate business decides there's much more money to be made from publicly distancing itself from a media outlet/brand than from quietly running ads with it, the amount of free publicity it then gets from these public meltdowns and tantrums is beyond its wildest dreams. Think how huge amount of money IKEA would happily pay for these huge brand strengthening words Laurence Fox and their ilk stating to millions on social media that they genuinely hate IKEA and won't shop there ever again. Last of all the reality no one is being cancelled if we are hearing from and about them every "kin" day!

A channel that has been purposefully set up by very rich people to stoke division and promote a viewpoint of right wing conspiracy theories and lies is not a difference of opinion. It deserves to be mocked, challenged, and attacked.
If anyone’s not listening to a different viewpoint it’s probably those who got so upset over a perceived bias from the BBC and ITV that they set up a whole new channel

Classic MO of the left.
Different and alternative viewpoints are not allowed and should be shut down immediately. Zero tolerance.
Just because someone has an alternative viewpoint doesn't make them right or wrong. Just different.
People who have different viewpoints do not deserve to be mocked, challenged and attacked at all.

'I disaprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it'

It's not shutting them down though is it? It's challenging them. Mocking, challenging, and attacking are all valid things to do.

Funny how many on the right use that quote to mean, 'and we'd like a free pass to say whatever we want without challenge'
