It started when the damn fool who was mouthing off to somebody, live, in person, and within range, did not get their nose punched, with a loud ‘shut up’ added.

People just retreating into their own business, and trying to not get caught in its web.

I hope that when they start doing personal ESG scores, mine is as close to zero as possible.

Let’s see.
I don’t recycle. Check
I drive a pickup. Check
My lawn tools are gas. Check
Environment-Zero

(Actually I’m a strong conservationist so hopefully using God’s resources wisely gets me negative points.

Social
I’m a God-fearing born again evangelical Christian. Check
I’m pro-life under all circumstances. Check
I’m against legalizing drugs. Check

Government
Conservative. Check
Almost 20 year FReeper. Check
Not a member but support the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Check
Wear a Trump hat. Check
Attended January 6 protest. Check
Own firearms. Check
Believe in the Constitution as written. Check

Looks like I qualify. ESG Score -25

For the same reason we saw so many FREEPERS (of all people) hell-bent on shutting down their lives -- and even having the audacity to scold others here on FR for refusing to shut down own own lives -- when the COVID-19 fiasco began more than a year ago: Because people are morons and easily prone to latch onto any media-driven hysteria.

A key benefit of the cancel culture is never having to take responsibility for anything.

Take the border debacle.......migrants pouring in, kids living in filth, held in cages, parents nowhere to be found.

Biden is seen on tape telling them all to "come....we'll take you in."

Yet, Biden has yet to visit the mess he made and neither has his VP.....predictably Biden blames the problem on Trump.

Because metaphorically it is easier to destroy than it is to create and build.

Several years back some politician referred to the escalating violence in the world by usually middle eastern persons saying “they use technology they cannot create to destroy things they cannot build”.

Leftists are like that ...

because people want to be polite. and they are scared when someone says “that’s racist!” to say STHU.
Or “so what?”

Not exactly. The globalist “free market” liberaltarians elbowed out all the traditional Republicans from leadership because taking over the party apparatus is doable for a small committed contingent of zealots. These guys out-sourced like there was no tomorrow and they dragged the country into their utopian “citizen of the world” idealism. The country rebelled and Trump was elected.

Liberaltarians are Left. The Left took over the Democrats, and the Left libertarian-Republicans took over the Republicans. We’ve had a choice of Left or Left. Thats what happened. If the Left Democrats ala Clinton feed China all kinds of American jobs and tech the only redress the public had was to vote for Left Republicans ala Bushies, which will feed China more American jobs and tech. The globalist Left agenda continues to be pushed forward, uninterrupted. This author is part of the problem. You aren’t going to find solutions with “free market” reforms as long as there are communists in the world because I’m pretty sure the Soviet Communists are the architects of this trap.

Christians stopped being salt and light and hid their light under a bushel.

“He didn’t seem to mind very much when they lost their jobs because of their politics.”

I have no problem eliminating communists from our government. They have been the enemy my entire life. McCarthy was right.

I don't see any evidence of this "cancel culture" out here in the real world where I live and exist everyday.

What I see are people going about their business, making a living, raising families and getting ahead in life. And not paying the snobs and elites any attention at all.

A lot of this stuff is the purview of the urban centers and government, education and business elites and their propensity to be in the limelight all of the time.

Regular folks don't even know what cancel culture is or recognize it because it doesn't exist in most of the country. Just in the eyes of those who want it to be so.

Without reading about it on FR, I wouldn't know anything about it. And still don't.

Contrary to what the media tells us, most people just aren't interested in these cultural abnormalities.
