Is this really a shocker to anyone? America wants to cancel everyone they don’t agree with.

One month ago, we wanted to cancel Sydney Sweeney because she has good Jeans. The pendulum will swing back and forth between the left and right canceling each other until there’s not much left. It’s where we are now.

Ooh, I like Sydney Sweeney. I will vote for whoever allows her to continue wearing those good jeans.

We agree.

Jimmy Kimmel thought Fox severing ties with Tucker Carlson was great. (He even admitted we all know it means he was fired).

Cancel Culture is the wussification of a country and the silencing of free speech. You can’t afford to back it for one second, because sooner or later, it will eat its own.

First of all, apologies. I’m an American and I come here to your message board because I’m a fan (supporter) of Coventry FC. I’m sure my tone sounded combative. Sincerely - not what I intended. The last thing I want to do in my spare time is start a message board war.

I don’t care if Kimmel gets replaced by the biggest anti Trump voice TV/American Media has ever heard. Just be fresh and entertaining. In my opinion, Kimmel stopped being that long ago. He’s not Johnny Carson. He’s no Jay Leno. He’s no Conan or Craig Ferguson. He is a snooze fest at best. Again, My opinion - If you are going to get paid millions, just don’t mail it in. Kimmel thought most of us actually care about his opinions . No, we want you to make us laugh.

Sorry - I've bitten your head off unfairly. I sincerely apologise.

I was going to delete my post, but it's probably fairer if I leave it there as a monument to my stupidity. It won't be the only one that's out there.

I bow entirely to your opinion on Kimmel being unfunny and past it - I don't think that's why he was cancelled though. If he'd been pro-Trump and crap, I'm pretty sure he'd still be in a job. I'm sure you can provide examples on request.

The one thing I would say though, if you're not here to start a message board war, why on earth are you here? Feels like you've not been paying proper attention to how this place works.

No apologies needed, mate! I came here on your turf because I need a better world view. Not just an American view. We are living in crazy times over here. It’s hard to not take sides because you feel like you are forced to. I just want to live a peaceful life and treat everyone well.

You guys are a great group! I’ve enjoyed my time here and it’s been more than I could have asked for.

The Sydney Sweeney thing was a bit weird, seemed she was the one catching a load of shit for an slogan someone else came up for a brand she doesn't own?

it was very odd, was just a pun and some people desperately tried to equate it to the nazis and the master race.

Being offended is en vogue here. It’s very odd. We’re a disgruntled, spoiled lot. And throw in the guns on top of it.

Something about her having good/great jeans.

They weren't which was the more offensive part.

Full on goal post move.

A few days ago it was cancel people who mocked or celebrated Charlie Kirk's death.

Jimmy Kimmel did neither.

Now it seems you can't accuse the administration of politicising the death of Charlie Kirk.

What's next?

It’s what friends loosely friends have said to me about starmer and the judiciary around the riots that you reap what you sow around free speech
If it’s possible for a representative democracy to limit free speech then it will be just as easy for a more authoritarian and maybe one I would be uncomfortable with some of what they stop being ok doing

seeing this acted on in real time scares me as to what is possible.

Has anyone thought about how we manage free speech differently? It will require changes to the law of course

We’ve clearly fucked up with the designation of Palestine action and imprisoning people for saying stuff rather than doing stuff but is there a way out before we get a maga approach where anyone speaking ill of leaders gets a knock at the door

Despite everything you can still say starmer is a xxxx and not be arrested or you can question a judges decision publically and not lose your job

People actually discuss this kind of thing in the real world?

Politics in my friendship group, never gets past Boris is a bit of a c**t, Sunak's a bit of a c**t or more recently, Starmer's a bit of a c**t.

Exactly. It blows my mind.

People seem to do it as a social event. Remember somebody posting on here they couldn't socialise with people who vote different. I couldn't tell you who my mates vote for

There are only a couple of people that I talk about politics with and I've been friends with them since childhood.

If you’ve posted hundreds of times in a thread called “Do you want to discuss boring politics” then I don’t think it should come as a surprise that people sometimes talk about this stuff irl

Yeah nothing better than a nice relaxing night out at the pub to have a row about some politicians

I read this to get a basic idea of whats going on as i never watch the news or read a newspaper. In fact i usually find out about almost every death or atrocity here first
Most of my posts on here are either trolling, having been triggered by something someone's said, 'trying' to be funny or generally killing time at the office rather than doing real work. The thought of discussing it outside is about as interesting as reading most of what you type.

We've had people post numerous times in this thread while claiming they 'don't do politics' and have no interest so its probably safe to assume there's a decent number of people that discuss politics irl without counting it as political.

It's very rarely something that comes up in conversation with mates for me, maybe around election time and that's about it!

More common with people at work though, sometimes just general conversation and sometimes if it's something that affects our work.

Politics like that at work should be banned as well.

I've got no interest who my colleagues vote for. I cut it off either way if anybody has tried.

Of course if politics might impact the business I get why that is discussed.

Forgive this if insensitive! I don’t celebrate anyone’s death. I thought this was clever though.
