Breaking cancel culture
American Thinker ^ | 1 Apr, 2022 | Thomas Buckley

It is the apology that drives cancel culture, because it encourages more acts of electronic subjugation, re-education, and humiliation.

Ah, the cancel culture apology -- for the Twitterati who have foisted this nightmare upon the world, the apology is the goal, the dopamine fix they need to get through the day, to prove to themselves that they have a proper place in the world, and that they are always right.

In other words, the apology is the automatically dispensed food pellet micenized humans crave.

It is the apology that drives cancel culture, because it encourages more acts of electronic subjugation, re-education, and humiliation.

Take, for example, Ellie Kemper of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt fame. When she was younger she won a beauty contest. While it is true that the Veiled Prophet Ball had a racially problematic (to say the least) past, it is also true that the sponsoring group integrated in 1979 -- the year before Kemper was born. Even still, after Twitidiots called her a “KKK Princess” for participating in the event 20 years later, she still for some reason felt obligated to apologize for things that occurred before she even existed.

"Hey guys – when I was 19 years old, I decided to participate in a debutante ball in my hometown. The century-old organization that hosted the debutante ball had an unquestionably racist, sexist, and elitist past. I was not aware of this history at that time, but ignorance is no excuse. I was old enough to have educated myself before getting involved,” Kemper said. "I unequivocally deplore, denounce, and reject white supremacy. At the same time, I acknowledge that because of my race and my privilege, I am the beneficiary of a system that has dispensed unequal justice and unequal rewards."

Why don’t they go after black racists and black supremacists? How about people who think their gender dysphoria makes them superior?

Just wait until they find out that Martin Luther King was a Republican. They will wipe him from the history books.

What utter tripe, huge crappola, coming out of Kempper.

on top of all he said, he should have himsef cut so that he will never produce any white progeny, and all whiote women should be required to have enforced abortions if they get pregnant with a white mans child,’’The white women should only be allowed to breed with black men.”

The Natinalist Socialists of Germany created a master race, why can’t America!

NOw thats JUSTICE.Don’t you think?

Lets bring on the NEXT STEP in CRT.

I can up their ante and do them all one better over the barrel of a waiting gun? Come on you CRT effers, bring your on next step in this deadly game!

And we are putting one advocate of CRT on the Supreme Court?
Soon to be Justice Jackson? We are indeed going to hell in a handbasket.

As sure as day follows night, the “apology” never is fully accepted, allowing the offender to move on. It always “falls just short”...

Lol! Never apologize. It really is a sign of weakness, with some rare exceptions.

The radical America haters won’t stop until all Whiteys are quivering in fear, begging for forgiveness for existing, and willingly handing over all their money before being sacrificed to the great god of the left.

I remember years back reading about re-education camps in communist Cambodia. People who resisted the regime were placed in these prison camps and indoctrinated. The end game was apology and adopting the “correct” ideology. However, it was no guarantee they didn’t get a bullet in the head.

That made me think about our current state of affairs. We are living in a national re-education camp where we are bombarded with media propaganda. Likewise, many end up apologizing to get along, which is no guarantee of anything.

Those people don't apologize. The few who do go after those racist groups and smug gender confused people never get an apology from them.

The key to sucess in such matters it to not define sucess by the offending one apologizing. Success happens when others see how stupid those people are and ignore them.

Never apologize.

It is long past time to go after the cancel people. Find out their names, addresses, jobs, families, bank account numbers, ID numbers, everything.
