[Hoss]

Fahrenheit 451 will soon be a non-fiction title.

And then burned.

Good thing folks are worried about CRT and Antifa. Of course, it a lot more clickworthy and a better money raiser than infrastructure.

Woke mob wins again



Apparently Spotify is so overwhelmed with cancel requests that their system can't handle it.

 

[Preston]

Kristian Andersen was literally paying people to cancel their cancel their Spotify memberships.

 

[WellPlayed]

Neil Young is a legend man.

Freedom of Speech *

Woke mob wins again



Apparently Spotify is so overwhelmed with cancel requests that their system can't handle it.

And again, this will be portrayed as “cancel culture” or an attack on free speech, rather than a private corporation being impacted by their customers voting with their dollars in a free market economy.

Censorship is meaningless if you're on the right team!

 

[LeafGm]

Censorship is meaningless if you're on the right team!

You really don’t have a good grasp of what “free speech” or “censorship” means.

Or, apparently, that the right to free speech cuts both ways.

 

[lecoqsportif]

The market has spoken.

No, you guys have explained it very well, I get it now. We only burn the books we totally don't like!

 

[Preston]

[axlsalinger]

Are we supposed to outlaw people from cancelling subscriptions now?

Of course not, people are free to rile up angry mobs whenever they like. That always ends well, so where's the problem?

Rogan still has a job how is he being censored? Do I have to pay for things I don't agree with?

 

[Preston]

Of course not, people are free to rile up angry mobs whenever they like. That always ends well, so where's the problem?

I mean they're protesting against a guy that is literally killing people. I know you love the guy, but you can't possibly say that isn't true. Canceling a subscription a pretty peaceful protest, all things considered.

 

[manny]

Censorship is meaningless if you're on the right team!

Straightforward question: who is being censored?

Follow-up: should Neil Young have self-censored to protect Spotify?

i liked it better when apple made everybody download some shitty u2 song or album or whatever

i think he is saying it is fine to kill people and people should not have a say in these matters - not with their dollars anyway
