Cancel Culture on the Left = internet mockery, and deplatforming.
Cancel Culture on the Right = everything from the above + threats against your life/safety backed up with lots and lots of guns.
Clearly the Left is so much worse.

Not to mention legislation against you

How many skinheads do you think there are
in the room when they set immigration law
or decide curriculum for public school
or push policies like redlining, mandatory minimum sentencing, benign neglect, gentrification, broken windows policing, voter ID, stop and frisk, three strikes, the drug war
[...]
How it isn't just the broken treaty, it is also the treaty

Oh I am a white cis straight man. The GOP do not make laws to impede MY rights.

While I get your sentiment, that's not a great take, because as long as you're working class, the GOP absolutely make laws that impede your rights. Just not based on race/gender/sexuality.
But always keep in mind that solidarity with people of color isn't just because it's the right thing to do - although of course it is the right thing to do - it's also because white workers and black workers share material interests, and those interests are opposed to the GOP (or any other part of the ruling class).
And the reason it's important to keep that in mind is because by and large, groups of people are shaped more by their material interests than their ethics (because ethics often flow from material interests).

Yeah, my comment above were more roll-your-eyes-bad-humour. I'm well aware that conservatives in general pass laws that harm everyone of my economic bracket regardless of my race/orientation/gender. Hell, even when they do pass a law that actually does not specifically target me, I recognize the corrosive harm that kind of law has upon society at large and upon the soul of the citizens who live within it.

Are you Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, or "Nordic"? Are you Protestant? If not, you better watch out.

Anglo-Saxon passing and I have my Protestant-Travel-Papers up to date (just don't don't at the stamps too closely...

As a trans person I definitely never get attacked by the right. There are not frequent campaigns to dehumanize me. Would sure be upsetting if that was going on.

Liberal culture comes from... The left...
lmao

If you close your eyes, there's lots of stuff you don't see.

I rarely see any righties attack someone for being themselves, except if they are activists
All the bullied LGBT people are invisible to this person, clearly. And oppressed minorities too. Really explains a lot, if they don't see it, it doesn't exist.

It's not that they don't see it. They see it. They don't care. Their lie disguised as lack of awareness is that the right doesn't attack or oppresses minorities. It's a blatant lie to try and paint the right on the same footing as the "left".

“I myself lack a basic understanding of social interaction, economics, and how capitalism discourages corporate altruism in pursuit of maximizing profit, necessitating the exploitation of idiots like myself who assume we’re smarter than the corporate Harvard lawyers who enable Amazon to fuck us in the ass on the daily.”

Let's take a moment to appreciate his display pic though. The long brown hair, white skin, anime inspired for sure--yup he's definitely a Libertarian lol

Yet another example of Twitter showing off its political genius to the world

Sounds like we got ourselves a "Classical Liberal" right here.

neocons ruining the term libertarian as per usual

"from Kuta, Indonesia" where the right wing government has literally murdered thousands of people for drug use, addiction, protesting, being a dissident, being gay, etc.

Except for slavery, Jim Crow, immigration, and the entire campaign and presidency of Tinyhands Shithole.
The first thing the rightwing does is define the rightwing out of existence.

Uhhh... pretty sure they got that the wrong way around. When have "lefties" attacked someone for being themselves? Unless you think bigotry is as much a part of someone as their race or sexuality.
Isn't that kind of what the right are known for? Attacking or removing themselves from people based on their religion, sexuality, gender and race?

Wanting to cancel entire races is just as bad as Kevin Hart not getting to host the Oscars.
Think I've figured out why no one takes Libertarians seriously.

The retardness goes deeeeep in this thread

Yeah, fuck those activists for not being white, straight, male or alt-right. How dare they?
How dare those activists care enough about things to try and push for societal change!
