Let's talk about the "right" wing cancel culture raging today...

 We got to talk about this guys.

We got to talk about the right wing cancel culture going on today.  Yeah I know the argument.  "You have a right to free speech but with that comes the right to the consequences".  Sounds good when you're not target...or rather your side is not the target.

I remember when Covid-19 skeptics were getting run out of town and losing their jobs.  Outrage swept the land.  Hell I remember when the same happened on any number of issues.

So many on the right are yelling that turn around is fair play.

My point is that one side has to stand on what's RIGHT, not convenient or feels good.  I thought that was the side of the right (well to an extent...not the far right racist idiots out there).

I hope you're getting what I'm putting down but if not then let me give you a note a reader gave me.  I won't tell you his name but he's says it much better than me...oh and he's right wing, served, serves his nation to this day and seems to be a real good dude (although I've never met him.  I won't use his name cause I know how the internet is...

Good afternoon Sol,

First, thank you for continuing to write. This is something I thought of writing on the open comment posts but I was just curious what you thought and not in the mood to deal with a comment section.

When you asked about thoughts and apprehensions regarding outing those who celebrated the murder of Kirk, I admit that my first response was that I would not want to be working around anyone who held those views and was comfortable expressing them openly. I have to deal with a large number of employees and we occasionally have to let someone go for making a threatening remark. It is a policy choice but to separate someone from their employment because of a stupid comment is hard. Whether they should lose their jobs or not, I am not sure. It has been on my mind since you posited the question.

Since then a news story popped up that really made me question things.

When the news released the second narco speed boat that was destroyed, the same people loudest about the outrage of celebrating the death of an ideological opponent celebrated the death of the cartel members. I am not classing them the same and think the damage drugs and cartels do probably warrants forceful intervention but it made me cringe just as much as the “snuff” videos released by Ukraine and celebrated online do.

He said alot.

He captured my feelings.

Ya know when I first started thinking that even on subjects I support you can go too far?

The first is the cheering of the snuff videos that the Ukrainians were putting out. I just thought ... these are the people we're supporting (forget all the other issues I have with this thing)?  They're putting out videos of men dying for all the world to see.  Yeah I know we have done the same but we cut that shit out cause of the blowback.  That was early war shit to get support but luckily we knew when to knock it off.

The second was the Israeli-Hamas war.  I supported the IDF in their campaign full force after the atrocities of Oct 7th.  Then fucking Netanyahu acted like he's willing to destroy his military and his economy because he didn't know when to turn it off.  Instead of going after Hamas he's going after the civilian population.  Dude has to learn when enough is enough.

This current thing is like I never thought it could happen here.  I've been watching what's going on in the UK and the police are arresting people for Facebook posts.

Are you shitting me?

You say something stupid online (not criminal...just stupid) and they send a unit to come pick you up?

That's where we're heading and that literally pisses me off.

We're speeding up the demise of what was once a beautiful country and no one is saying a word about it.

Lastly.  No I am not turning liberal.  I just want a little thought about the ramifications of our actions.  FAFO?  There will be another democrat in the White House.  It would be kinda fucked up to give them the blue print on how to crush differing opinions don't ya think? 

I am really starting to wonder if there are any good sides left. Do you have the same apprehension about releasing kill videos from our own military operations that I do? Normalizing violence seems to be a boat that has sailed but it still bothers me a bunch.

Below is how the left is acting now versus how they acted previously.  Do we want to do anything like them???
