This song ruined my life just a bit. Heard it on Beavis and Butthead.

Is everyone so depressed now partially because modern science has probably proven there is no god / afterlife? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

Modern science didn't have to prove to me that unicorns, elves, and fairies don't actually exist. Somehow, I figured that out on my own and moved on.

Public cancellation costs people their jobs, livelihoods, and even their lives because a sensitive, loud, and naive sub section of the population felt "triggered" by someone else's right to free speech. This, in turn, makes others wary of the things they say and inhibits their free speech.

People are presumed guilty without due process and are forced to grovel and apologize for otherwise meaningless acts which elevated the anxieties of the super sensitive. This is a witch hunt and has happened before in the US in Salem and during the McCarthy era. Both periods are seen as sore spots in our history.

This is convenient when your opinion is with the majority. It a threat and unsustainable when your opinion is no longer the majority opinion.

"Full stop".
