wtf do they put into the drinking water in the US.

:lol:
Would be bad enough if she was just another militant pseudo-academic, but an actual physician with a medical degree and specialising in psychiatry, wow. :lol:

Sounds like she needs her own psychiatrist.

Even just the fact that they have 34k posts and the account has only existed since March 2020. Over 3 tweets/retweets an hour for 15 months and yet nothing of value contributed. Always-online culture warriors are terrifying.
i didn't look thoroughly but it seemed to be an astrology/witch account. that's a different, terrifying level of online.

Pretty much.

These clips really show the economics underpinning the ''cultural war'' shtick. One week it's owning conservatives to viral and the next it's interviewing Dr. Death To White People.
:D

Hope whoever cancels that Megan Rapinoe for her racist tweet about asians.

Always knew there was something fishy about her.

at the end of the day racism is racism.

Actually I found this interview with Marc Lamont and Lindsay pretty good although quite brief. I guess I found it good because it's rare that the anti-woke and the woke actually share a platform and debate each other.

I especially love how Fox news of all things asked for a clarification on her tweet. Isn't most of their line up old men whinging about cancel culture? Do they not see the irony?

I hope Billy Ellish another recently outed racist gets 'canceled' too.

But is she too big a star?

She tweeted 10 years ago that someone's eyes looks Asian and this is uber offensive? If anything it is a good example of PC gone mad.

To me it’s yet more evidence of the ongoing partisan politics war. It’s one side weaponising a seemingly small issue and using it against those who usually encourage this sort of witch hunt. They’re basically saying “Cancel her as well or you’re all hypocrites”. They’re not bothered about the issue itself, just using it as an opportunity for point scoring.

As usual any context or nuance is left at the door.

Posers, show-offs, full of themselves narcisists

these lot usually have something to hide...

her being outed as a racist disappoints but doesnt surprise me.
So cancel her because you don't like and you've decided that they must be a narcissistic poser?

You're just highlighting the worst side of this stupid trend.

I actually enjoyed this interview in full. I appreciate Joy Reid for providing a platform for debate.
Dunno if the whole interview was like this, but the constant talking over each other is incredibily annoying. It's a shouting match of a similar level to my son arguing with his friend over who gets to use the tricycle next.

Chris Ruffie or whatever his name is, is a douchebag lying cnut by the way.

I read someone say something which i agreed with and that was if we were to apply the same cancel culture ethos we apply to the famous, to everyone we would all be cancelled. it is very true.

Creeps like Harvey Weinstein i agree with. But some famous person that did something stupid when they were 14 and gets cancelled is a bit too much.

Margaret Atwood once said that if were all on trial for our thoughts we would all be hanged.

You just have to be so careful these days.

I would have enjoyed it more if it was an actual interview where host lets the guest actually speak.

What? All she did was talk over the guest while he was trying to bring up his arguments.

I'm glad that video is getting ratio'd because that was a terrible "debate," if you can even call it that.

I don't mind her doing some gotcha points on Rufo, but it's not really worth having him on the show if he doesn't get to clarify himself. Furthermore she made 3 false statements during that interview. She claimed that Critical whiteness studies isn't a subfield of CRT. It is. She said she doesn't know who Applebaum is, but that she's not a Critical race theorist. She is though. She claimed that intersectionality is not CRT. But intersectionality is a key concept of CRT.

If we were cancelled like the celebrities we'd all get lucrative Netflix shows and an invitation to the podcast tour.
