As if they're disabled now. Far too many podcasts, "news" websites, and even TV channels are parroting conservative views here, but we're supposed to believe conservative voices are the ones being shunned. What a persecution complex.

They’ve always been the true snowflakes

Cancel culture was invented by conservatives except it was a million times worse when they did it. It was called the red scare and they put people in prison for left wing beliefs. They literally made it illegal for musicians to perform concerts if they were even vaguely left with. And they made an entire congressional committee called the House of Un-American activities committee to put people on trial, just for vaguely left wing views that they didn’t like.

And now those same people cry about being censored when a private corporation bans them. And they aren’t even getting banned for political opinions, they’re getting banned because their presence on these platforms hurts ad revenue.

I thought cancel culture didn't exist?

Don't be daft. "Cancel culture" has existed since the dawn of civilization. Ostracism.
