I'm 29 years old lol. Regardless of my age, it's not hard to see that too many people have proverbial sticks up their asses. Just shut up and stop trying to control the world or what's good and what's not. You disagree with someone or something? Big deal. Argue all you want, but trying to leverage cancellation is the biggest cuck move possible. Quite frankly that's exactly what nazism (national socialism) was built on. People deserve to be outspoken and their perspectives deserve to be defended, not ostracized because it's not PC.

It's not about stereotypes. It's about acknowledging how broken some segments of society are. People are so interested in making their own taboos/unpopular perspectives/insecurities accepted by means of overcompensation, yet dismiss someone else's own opinions simply because they don't share that perspective. It's not enough for them to agree to disagree; they must feel right and anyone who has a differing opinion needs to be recognized as wrong, or as you put it, must "face consequences". That positions they don't agree with are wrong and must be cancelled if not. It's not about being assertive of that one's belief, it's about destroying the other's assertiveness. Hence, beta... hence cuck.

Meh

The “deflate gate” crap is nonsense.

Brady could’ve been tossing around soap bubbles and still beaten the piss out of the Colts by 20+.

A pats fan would say nonsense  Or a member of dumbo national media that love tommy boy.

He had friggin trainers and ball boys surreptitiously tampering with game balls to suit him, so no it is not  nonsense.

But he is a proven cheater and he is as much of a goat as bonds is the best HR hitter or lance armstrong is the best cyclist.

He and Bellichick and the pats cheated multiple times (only caught multiple times)

And for all his accomplishments he has gotten a phenomenal amount of luck over the years with other teams just folding and doing stupid things.

Even in the AFC title game he threw 3 picks, had a 4th flat put dropped and heaved up two 50/50 balls his wrs made great plays on.

OK  but 10 SB appearances, 7 wins, etc.  Just my opinion.

Yes.  That is exactly how freedom works.

You possess a near-unlimited freedom to say or think anything you want to say or think.  That is YOUR freedom in action.

We, on the other hand, have a near-unlimited freedom to judge you negatively for the thing you said or thought.  That is OUR freedom in action.

It sounds like you want all of the benefits of freedom for yourself, without any of the consequences of others having that same freedom.

By no means. I encourage people to speak freely, to judge freely. I don't encourage "cancelling" or ostracism. Exiling people for their beliefs is wrong. Empathy is more effective.

Then I don't think you understand the point that was made, because in speaking freely, people are free to judge you negatively.  

What exactly do you think "cancelling" is?  It is a collective judgement by a meaningful portion of people that your speech or thought was objectionable, and individuals within that collective imposing a consequence for it. 

Freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences imposed by other free people.

Anyone who tries to silence someone who is not harming themselves or others is guilty of oppression. Having an unpopular opinion shouldn't come with self-appointed social justice measuring stick weilders to justify beating people with that same stick into submission. In uncanny accordance with this line of thinking, how unintentional the modern message equivalent that the Suffragettes should've just gone home based on some of the things that I've read here. The Abolitionists, too. Funny, that.

Of course you can and should judge people for their opinions, they're asking for it because they're voicing it; but to deny that there isn't a contingent to shut people up in order to control a dialogue that fits their agenda is disingenuous at worst and intellectually dishonest at best.

Funnier still, many of these same mini-dictators tend to scream the loudest about how oppressed they are when they start losing an argument because oftimes it's all they've got. Anyway, a couple of people here and there attempted to insidiously bully me. Needless to say, it didn't work out. 

The point I'm trying to make is that sometimes the opinion is not really the issue at all. As soon as people start messing with what you can say and what you can't say to the point where it's not in the realm of falsely screaming fire in a crowded theatre it's a very dangerous thing. It's antithetical to freedom, period. 

So this Tom Brady wretchfest, ugghhh, what could be worse! I guess I should be scared now that someone will try to get me fired from my job. : / Have a good day, all.

I use the word fag and fagg ot, so what. Time and place and all that; but my gay nephew, who I love more than my own life - GASP! - approves. My husband's niece is developmentally disabled. She has no aversion to the word retard and uses it on occasion. She also drinks, smokes, and curses like a sailor. So I guess I have a gauche family? No, I don't; but the real point here is that we all know and recognize real hatred when we see it. People should be more concerned about how they police their own lives instead of making it their mission to police everyone else.

Worst Superbowl I can remember. My son tried to watch it with me - his first time watching a Superbowl - but gave up at halftime due to extreme boredom.

There was so little to excite in this one - not a great showcase for the sport.

Again, no one is "messing with what you say", you always have the right to keep saying anything you want to say.  You are not "oppressed", you continue to have the right to go down to the street corner and scream to the sky whatever you wish to say and whatever you believe.

What you do not have is a right to say these things on TV or in a specific newspaper.  Or at your workplace.  Or on someone else's private property.  These run up against someone else's superior rights, i.e. the TV stations rights to decide what it wants to program, the newspaper what it wants to cover, the employer in what it chooses to allow at it's worksite, and the private persons rights to their private property.

So no, you are not "oppressed", you are not the victim of prolonged cruel or unjust treatment or control, and the power of the State has not been wielded to limit or revoke your rights.  You are simply reaping the social collective effects of your choice of expression of your right to free speech, as determined by other free individuals expressing their rights. 

Again, it sounds like you want all the the power of your freedoms, while denying that freedom to others who would disagree.  With freedom comes responsibility and accountability.  If society finds the things you say offensive, they will censure you for it.  Doesn;t make them right per se, or you wrong per se, nor does it make you right i.e. vice versa.  That is for society, and ultimately for history, to decide as a whole, as always.

He's not my friend, he's my nephew; but that's exactly the type of response that I expected, anyway, all things being even, you know. Speaking of gay friends, though, being an artist, I don't have any of those. Not one. Nope.

This is one perspective, but it's an incomplete one. 

What I would say is that just because your free to do something doesn't make it ethical nor does it make it productive. The difference with cancelling and accountability: a culture which promotes ostracism denies empathy and promotes radicalized tribalism. It's about control of information rather than flow of it. It's denying perspectives rather than accepting them. It's destroying narratives versus building them. It's prioritizing a one-sided perspective without fact-checking, conferring with colleagues and others with knowledge, or seeking better resolutions. It stems from passing judgment on someone, but that judgement gets sensationalized. It's a form of bullying by means of a mob mentality. It's less about correction and more about satisfying people's insecurities. 

"Cancelling" someone for having a perspective - right or wrong - is ridiculous. Why? I'll give you an example. Drew Brees has spent most of his life helping people and being an asset to society when he's not on the football field. He's lent more time, money, and platform to charitable causes than 99.99% of the people who walk this earth. The guy said he believes in standing for the National Anthem and disagreed with kneeling for it. Just his prospective. He was killed for it. My perspective: people criticizing Drew Brees can't hold his jock; most of these people have been a nuisance to society when he's been an asset. What are you trying to accomplish by "cancelling" him? It's stupid and counterproductive. For all I care, Drew Brees could've told people to go F themselves if they want to kneel for the National Anthem. He's earned the right to say what he believes and with that, people can disagree with him, but should also consider the facts, consider the perspective of those close to him, seek to understand why he has the perspective he has, and if at the end of it you say "I agree to disagree" so be it. To put him in a box and ostracize him for having a perspective that counters your own is so misguided, narrowminded, and quite frankly weak... don't alienate people for having different believes. 

As far as the usage of cuck and beta, they're descriptive words that pack a lot of meaning in them. If this offends you, I will apologize to you because you appear to have a rational sense and are not looking to be an aggressor. I can appreciate that and can learn from it. People make mistakes, myself included. Learning from your mistakes does not mean learning in a way where people are manufacturing backlash and a desire to destroy one's overall reputation.

I'd hate to "cancel" you if you're enjoying this interaction but you're definitely wasting your time making good faith arguments against somebody who isn't. His most recent post begins demanding empathy and then concludes with how useful it is to call people cucks and betas. He's not even hiding it.
