    you're insane.
    america is sick of cancel culture.

    the doj going after parents is cancel culture, and nobody supports that totalitarian shit.

    Biden's admin is over.

    No doubt the older generation is familiar with the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, the Civil Rights Act and the assassination of Martin Luther King. It was in all the newspapers so I doubt they never heard of it. Being "woke" is simply a new buzzword for civil inequalities in our society.

    Some use the word "woke" to assign blame or to hold those they think are responsible accountable for the status quo. A spin on "you're either with us or against us".
    There are older people who say/claim cancel culture doesn't exist when there are younger people who not only say it exists but actively state they will cancel you. It's a generational divide. And much gets missed when its framed as Dem vs Rep or CNN vs Fox News. (Not to mention, CNN and Fox News are networks run by old people geared towards old audiences. Very few young people watch those stations so if that's your point of reference you are missing a lot.)

    We're seeing in real time the battle over cancel culture with Dave Chappelle and Netflix. For starters I have never heard Chappelle called a right-winger yet his shows constantly reference cancel culture and the attempts to cancel him.

    We see it on University campuses, we see it with comedians, we see it in numerous places. Framing it only as a partisan political battle misses the forest for the trees in the real discussion.

    Don't like it? Start your own Twitter or Facebook or Parler.

    BTW, unless you are willing to call out OANN, Fox, Newsmax, etc. on *their* bias and lies, you probably shouldn't be complaining about perceived bias elsewhere.
    I hear "they are a business" as the retort for canceling constantly. No they won't "lose business" - there are few alternatives.
    as to Parler you saw what happened -Big Tech cancelled them!! lol

    Like I said I'm not wanting to call out anyone -i just want free political speech

    I know you right wingers cannot comprehend this, but only the government in an official act can prevent free speech--such as confiscating books from a publisher.

    Amazing that right wingers thing they mastered the Constitution but are wholly ignorant of the concept of free speech.

    You are really crazy. Nobody is responsible for what happened in the 60's.

    Parler is still around. They lost their host because they were being used for illegal purposes, against their host's terms of service. They got a different one.

    I have a web site of my own, and if I violate my host's TOS, they'll pull my plug.

    Why should they provide a platform for idiots who want to advocate illegal actions? Damo's JPP doesn't allow users to accuse each other of child molestation, which is illegal -- and the act of accusing someone of it can be considered defamatory. Why should Damo allow that since it's HIS site and he could be held liable for allowing it?

    You have free speech. The government cannot curtail it. However, private businesses can and should, or they could be held liable for their users' crimes.
