It's a problem idiots like to whine about as if it's actually an important thing and I demonstrated how ridiculous it is because any solution to this "problem" would be insane.

I suggest you read Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal" so you'll be better able to understand this kind of rhetorical device. It's meant to make you think about what the actual issue is, but apparently you're unwilling or unable to think.

Hint: If you're not willing to strap people down and force them to watch what you want them to, then what's the solution to the "cancel culture" problem? Or maybe it's not actually a problem that needs to be solved. It's literally just people not watching things they don't like.

I'm almost tempted to spend this time mocking you for being so fucking stupid as to believe that some idiot offering a cartoonish solution to a problem is proof that it can't be solved. Because that's a real fucking stupid thing to say and you're a real fucking stupid person for saying it.

But it's more important that I tell you to shut the fuck up and go back to read what the thread you're replying to is about. You were the one who whined about cancel culture. Turn off the chatbot in your brain and actually pay the fuck attention to what's going on around you. Holy shit dude.

Hexbear I think I found the libbest of the libs

Hexbear LOL. Are y'all fascists claiming to be socialists?

You aren't fooling anyone, kids.

if we were fascists would your response really be to call us kids? and put on your debate cap?

That would be your response to fascism encroaching on the platform you use?

Fucking liberals goddamn
