Good. Ship the thing off to a museum, slap a label on it and use it to educate people. Lest we forget.

Fuck cancel culture.

Fuck cancel culture.

You should tell your great-grandfather that he was practicing cancel culture.

Implying their great-grandfather was fighting on the allied side. Or even that America was setting out to stop the Nazis. Similar to the union in the civil war, the war was about protecting empire, and not stopping evil.

I know cancel culture has long gone the way of being completely meaningless like "woke" and all the other renditions of the same phrase but this still feels incredibly silly to label as "cancel culture" lol

I always tune out when someone uses "cancel culture", "woke" or something else silly

[–] SugarApplePie@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

I used to think "virtue signalling" was just some made up crap but it seriously feels like the most apt description for how right wingers use "woke", "cancel culture" in general, etc. Just empty, meaningless buzzwords solely there to signal your political leanings to whoever is listening.

Fuck cancel culture.

You know what we did to the nazis, right?

[–] PascalSausage@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

If this is “cancel culture” the phrase has lost all meaning.

I mean, the Nazis quite literally tried to cancel several cultures.
