No, it isn't. But that isn't the the point. The point isn't that she got cancelled; it's what she got cancelled for.
Van Jones goes on CNN and talks about the virus white people have in their head that makes us racist and untrustworthy: Freedom of speech, bruh.
Bree Larson says in a video interview that she is sick of having to walk into rooms and see white men's faces: Well, her heart was in the right place.
Pseudo-academics with degrees in subjects that revolve exclusively around the study and verification of what a burden it is to have to coexist with white people write bestselling books called White Fragility and The Problem With Whiteness: Academics must be allowed to freely debate.
The people pointing to this woman being fired are not pointing to it and saying "Look, for the first time ever someone got cancelled." they are saying "Look at what happens when you denigrate Jewish people - see how differently it works."
I find it difficult to believe that you didn't realize that going in.
Yes, I'm aware that in American society, the only people you can bash with impunity are whites, men, non-deviant people, and Christians.
Well, yeah. Same as if you denigrate blacks. Or Asians - though ruining their futures is permissible. Or women. Or troons. So this is not exactly unique to Jews. In fact, you need not even denigrate those groups, just saying something that extremist activists don't like is sufficient.
Would it seem to you that you are allowed more free speech about blacks than about Jews? It does not seem that way to me. People have been 'canceled' for far less than these comments you see here.
My criticism is directed not at "Jews are treated differently from whites", which is true enough in some cases, but at the title - because given the number of groups that are immune from any criticism, it would mean that a lot of groups - not just da Jooz - are ruling over you.
Ah, I misunderstood your point. It seemed to me to be the same kind of out-of-hand dismissal of pattern recognition that has become so common.
If what you were opposing was talking about jewish people the way liberals talk about white people, then we agree, apologies.
I do believe that, but that wasn't my point in these comments, I meant that Jews are hardly the only people who fall under this criticism ban. In fact, some other people much get greater protection.
None needed, I actually appreciate intelligent criticism and counter-arguments.
