We all know the level of vitriol has elevated these last 12 years

It goes way further back than that. Think of the record burning parties in the 50s (or 60s, whenever that happened in the US), or the Nazis burning books. The right has always tried to silence critics and people who are not like them.

Cancel culture has always been more of a right-wing thing anyway. Cancel culture started with the Hollywood Blacklist, and continued destroying the careers of anyone LGBT+, the Dixie Chicks, Colin Kaepernick, and a bunch of other people. They’re only mad about it now because it’s being used against them.

Why even bother? If he believes using the word is harmless, he’s going to continue to do so no matter how many conversations are had. We’ve got to stop coddling these racists and start taking their toys.

“sets a dangerous precedent,” because it leads to a “victimhood mentality.”

“We need to be more like the Greeks and the Romans!”

Imagine creating an organization that celebrates conspicuous consumption and unearned wealth and then having either the extreme self-awareness, or the extreme lack thereof, to call your organization One Percent.

Dr. Oz! I thought I heard quacking! What’s in your black bag of snake oil remedies today?

They made their decision and it was a bad decision. 

And articles like this help me make an informed decision about which developers I support.

Hey remember when ubisoft made this excuse about assassin's creed unity a few years ago and it was immediately proven to be bullshit?

I, Robin Williams, have never ever during my 50+ years in dance told Black girls their braids are not beautiful.
