They never understand that one day they will also be canceled.
I’ll start by CANCELLING my subscription to the magazine.
oh wait........
They think they are rebels—but in fact they are doing the dirty work of the Deep State.
Er, just write about the music industry and Rolling Stone won’t have any trouble.
do they know anything about Mao’s cultural revolution?
Wish I had a subscription to cancel!!
Rolling Stone, Time, Newsweek, Sports Illustrated - all old-style magazines with a “brand” and name recognition among people 55+
Yet all went totally bankrupt, and all have no value in this internet age.
BUT - because of this brand recognition (as evidenced by the fact we here are still talking about them) still have value as propaganda outlets and social-engineering outlets, directed at this age cohort. And propaganda for content is very low cost.
So that’s why they still exist.
Cancel culture promotes intolerance and divisiveness, which are antithetical to democratic values. By creating an atmosphere of fear and suspicion, cancel culture exacerbates social conflicts and undermines the possibility of genuine reconciliation and cooperation.
Cancel culture lacks due process and impartiality, which are essential for justice and fairness. Rather than following established procedures and standards for adjudicating disputes or grievances, cancel culture relies on arbitrary and subjective criteria that often result in unfair or unjust outcomes.
Cancel culture is based on moral absolutism and dogmatism, which are incompatible with critical thinking and intellectual humility. Rather than acknowledging the complexity and ambiguity of ethical and moral issues, cancel culture reduces them to simplistic and binary categories of right and wrong.
Cancel culture is often motivated by ideological or political biases, which are antithetical to pluralism and diversity. Rather than engaging in constructive dialogue and debate, cancel culture seeks to impose a single perspective or worldview on others.
Cancel culture can lead to self-censorship and conformity, which are detrimental to creativity and innovation. Rather than encouraging individuals to express their unique perspectives and ideas, cancel culture pressures them to conform to prevailing norms and values.
Cancel culture can create a climate of fear and insecurity, which are incompatible with freedom and autonomy. Rather than empowering individuals to make their own choices and decisions, cancel culture imposes external constraints and pressures on them.
The negative consequences of cancel culture on free speech, tolerance, justice, critical thinking, pluralism, creativity, and freedom are overwhelming and important.
What a bunch of badasses /s
Partying like it’s 1628 (in Würzburg Germany)!
Democracy is mob rule, so of course cancel culture is part of democracy.
Rolling Stone magazine hustling for high sales.
Uhm...cancel culture mobs are now about protecting people??? Are bombs now about constructing buildings? Are book burnings now about stopping censorship? When did we enter backwards world?
By democracy, I take it they mean two wolves and a lamb agreeing on what’s for supper.
“Cancel culture has leveled the playing field for those who can’t always rely on the government to protect them.”
Well, conservatives are the ones who can’t rely on the government to protect them anymore. So I guess Rolling Stone is telling us to start organizing our own vigilante groups.
