This is what conservatives sound like when they complain about cancel culture after saying or doing racist, sexist or otherwise abusive things.
@augieray Truth hurts irresponsible ones. GOP is the septic tank of our forced fed politicians. Profit over people policy. That? Must end.
@augieray it’s also called “Consequences Culture.”
@augieray I cropped out the volume slider
@gavinisdie I'm laughing because I didn't even notice it!

@augieray

HELP HELP, I'M BEING CANCELLED FOR MY OPINIONS

Oh my, that's terrible! Which "opinions" are those?

M-- MY TRADITIONAL VALUES

"Traditional values" like looking out for your fellow human beings, maybe..?

...I CAN TOTALLY TELL WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO HERE, Y'KNOW

@augieray Lots of people who moan about cancel culture do it from the mainstream media and are unable to see the irony. Those same people are the sort of people who want monologue not dialogue. Having people call them to account for their utterances scares the bejesus out of them. https://blotreport.com/2020/07/23/the-naming-of-things/
@augieray #Minneapolis Mayor Frey will feel very threatened that someone took a picture of him at his home.

@augieray but, but, CONServative voices are being silenced! 🤡

@Str8nger @augieray That's my favorite scene from Death to 2020! 🤣
@augieray Somehow, somewhere, Elon Musk has taken to Twitter to defend this person against the consequences they have earned.

@augieray juuuusssst gunna go ahead and borrow this for my own purposes.
@augieray I hear this from all republicans and their supporting blatherers
@augieray And it's always the "let the market decide" that they claim to find as objective truth in nearly all other situations. It can't be that their racism and sexism is just outdated and not popular. It can't be that they're just outnumbered by average decent people. No, they must find a scapegoat!

@Laces @augieray

This would be more true if mire monopoly busting was done and things were better run to ensure common people still had a voice.

@Energetic_Nova @augieray True. I just meant how corporations don't want to hurt their bottom line so for appearances sake, they're middle of the road- avoid controversy so not to alienate potential customers. The "it's cancel culture!" group pretending that they're not just behind on the times and that corporations aren't going to cater to them over the vast majority of consumers.
@augieray @kevinrns Aren’t “conservatives” always carrying on about the free market? When they f around and find out, it’s suddenly “cancel culture”…

@infodriveway @kevinrns Funny how the party of free speech and anti-cancel culture are also the ones banning books, telling schools what they can teach, trying to shut down drag story hours, attempting to police the language of climate change, and punishing companies like Disney for saying things they don't like.

Wait, that's not funny at all.

@augieray @infodriveway

Its not even two sentences; "WE must have free speech to be racist dickwads, shut up YOU cant speak!"

Amazing. Stay ready, stay strong, democracy and rights.

@infodriveway @augieray

"A Free Market?" The billionaires say, "I think I'll buy it!"
"I used to like the free narket, then I boughr it, now its MY market, and I'm the President."

Oil prices only went up because Oil controls its market, its a monopoly. Grocery store chain billionaires own their colluded market.

"A Free Market" is the unicorn of excuses for why government doesnt challenge the powerful corporations who control the market, who ended the free market.

@augieray here is my philosophy: put nothing in the cloud ever.
@ninjaradio Didn't that reply just go into the cloud? :)
@augieray indeed! The internet knows all about ninja. (At least I hope only the things I want my tech overlords to know.)

@augieray

"Freedom of speech means people have to hear me talk and they can't tell me my words were disagreeable. When you disagree with me you violate my freedom.
"I will destroy anyone that disagrees with me until there is no disagreement and then we will have perfect, free speech."

@augieray not sure if the volume slider was intentional or not but it's actually very apt.
@DavidBlue It was unintentional. I didn't even notice it at first. But once I did, I had the same thought--it seemed oddly appropriate!
@augieray the horror, the horror.
