Reddit Moderators Demand The Platform Take Action Against Covid Disinformation

Once again a online mob caused a business (publisher) to suffer financial harm by stop selling books. Sadly this was not enough for this online mob -- they are demanding that all the Dr. Suess books stop being published and for all his books to be taken out of libraries. The publisher attempted to appease the mob and it did not help out --- it simply empowered the mob to demand more.

Sounds like reddit is seeing similar boycotting of their platform unless they give in to the cancel mob. Curious.

Removing misinformation on social media is not Cancel Culture. Cancel Culture would be if Redditers raised an online mob to hunt down the misinformation posters, get them fired from their jobs, threaten their families, damage their homes, shut down their businesses, and inflict financial loss on them -- if they did this then it would be 'Cancel Culture".

Agreed. And that apparently is the cancel culture we really need.

Just curious, as I really don't give a shit either way in this argument. But does this mean you support people being "hunted down, fired from jobs, damage done to homes and inflicting financial loss" on people that don't agree with your way of thinking?

If those people are taking part in the destabilizing of civilization, yes, I do. And worse.

Well let me state I very much disagree with this --- people should not be "hunted down, fired from jobs, damage done to homes and inflicting financial loss" simply because you disagree with their opinions.

Not simply about disagreement. See what I told Tsing.

This makes me kind of an anti-proud boy/oathkeeper/booger, I suppose.

I'm okay with that.

Indeed. People bitch about "the tywany" under Biden, lol, they have no idea.

I'm particularly interested in those who deliberately lie and troll, aka the denizens of "troll nation", to "own the libs", and laugh about it when confronted. All law and order and life and nation are just a game to those stains.

I'm fine with it. Just as long as you do this evenly with the right and left. Because you're not hypocritical and would never just go after one side, right?

Ask GWB how he feels about the misinformation around global warming/CRT/antifa/Palestine/immigration and if he'd back your proposal.
