I still don't get it. How is that a safe space for me or anyone else?
It's true. Amplifying Irish as the black voice of wisdom is really dumb.

Really? That's your counter? Playground taunts?
Are you gonna start chanting "U.S.A! U.S.A!" next, Trash, to shout me down?
What do you mean BLACK voice of wisdom, huh?
No, I'll probably just pull a Spinal and quit match / cut because of your inane posts. I know you drove him nuts too. Weren't you banned for awhile?

This back and forth is going nowhere, guys. Neither of you are going to accomplish anything positive.
If you quit, do you think anyone would notice?
I'm having fun. Wasn't trying to convince Trash because ... well, you know. (But tbh I'd feel like a heel if I didn't push back a bit and nobody else did either.)
In my opinion the kind of pushback you're suggesting (especially for a such a heavy topic) only works if it constructively alters a persons perspective. Otherwise you're just two guys peeing on each other screaming "I peed on you more!" "Nah ah I peed on YOU more!"
If Trash openly stans for racist shitheels like Andrew Sullivan and Tucker Carlson, and you and I say nothing, then we're sorta silently condoning his bullshit. If someone else comes across this thread an hour, a day, a year from now and reads Trash's posts, they might very well think Match Cut generally approves of them.
I wasn't responding for Trash's benefit, or trying to change his mind.
Locked for the weekend.
Open.
Be courteous in your debates.

There's honestly too many good, cutting rebuttals on that ridiculous "letter" for me to post them all, but...
"Half of these people are pretty obviously just tired of getting rightfully owned on twitter for their awful takes" @NoTotally
"For like a century, corporate media decided who got “cancelled” & often the people didn’t even do anything wrong (Sinead O’Connor, Monica Lewinsky, etc). But now that social media is deciding who gets cancelled, it’s the most dire threat to free speech that ever happened. Lol ok" @maplecocaine
"The country is going through a material crisis, and its intellectuals have to convert it into a symbolic crisis in order to have anything to say" @lionel_trolling
"the publisher of Harper's canceled its last... three? editors for disagreeing with him" @pareene
"These people have access to massive platforms and wealth and what they're concerned about is being able to say and do whatever they want without losing the vague air of virtue and rightness" @NoTotally
"The circle of concern of intellectuals has become so narrow and insular that it's basically a defense of its own class issues in the guise of statements about freedom. There is no interest whatsoever in the crises facing the nation at large." @lionel_trolling
"A lot of writers would feel less aggrieved if they learned to differentiate between criticism that can have a real negative effect on them and criticism that can be brushed off as dumb kid stuff" @laurenoyler
Get the fuck off twitter.

Why? Watching people effortlessly dunk on dipshits like David Frum, Jeet Heer, and Bari Weiss never gets old.

I do think social media deciding who gets cancelled is pretty problematic.
But that article is hilarious.
The president of Serbia announced today that Belgrade, and possibly the rest of the country, will be under curfew from Friday to Monday, except for short dog walks etc.
Protests formed in front of the Parliament in Belgrade, and the situation is escalating, the mass is trying to get inside and the riot police is just stopping them non violently for now... Things are getting ugly, fast.

Nah Twitter is fun. Maybe not for you and others, but that's not my problem.
Ah man not you guys! People being mad about measures to ensure people's safety is silly.
Is DFA1979 an Irish alt?
Quick! Where are you from and what's your favorite movie?
Have we run him through our paces? We need thoughts on Speed Racer, C.H.U.D....what else...
