Nicholas Sandmann calls out his fellow CNN paid contributor Jeff Yang for saying cancel culture is 'a smart career move for folks who want to build a contrarian “being an asshole is good, actually” audience' (twitter.com)

You're 16. You're being positioned as a high-profile face during a week that's likely to be incredibly controversial and vitriolic. You may see this as getting a chance to deliver your words, but they're using you to make a point. Maybe the same point you want to make; maybe not.

Isn't that the same age of Greta? Shouldn't this be an argument that Nick needs a BIGGER platform, like speaking to the entire UN?

No, unless Sandman has been 16 for two years. Yang is a fucking dumb shill.

All this shit, at the end of the day, is anger at people who survive their attacks.

  • If their lynching kills you and your career: you deserve it. You were held accountable.

  • If their lynching doesn't kill you: stop crying. People disagreed with you.

  • If their lynching back fires and promotes you: Cancel Culture isn't even real. You're privileged and you never faced any hardship. Nothing happened. You're just an alt-right grifter. Full gaslighting.

"Grifter" is an intramural critique; a Leftist is more likely to just call you a nazi/racist/gaybasher/what-have-you.

Otherwise, 100% spot-on.

Yeah, you can make a career out of being a contrarian asshole, but unless you can pull your weight on youtube or something, you're just gonna be unemployable until the left loses interest in you.

At least further down they part ways amicably and with some respect.

If all media personalities had that level of class (low bar), we might not have to initiate Day of the Rope on them.

I miss that part of online debate. Parting ways not on bad terms.
