    Ah, the old "both sides do it" argument. lol. You missed my point. Conservatives coined the phrase and they themselves are guilty of it (very very guilty of it).

    Boycotts are nothing new. Everybody everywhere throughout history has always done it. The "Cancel Culture" rally cry is just a tool the right coined to normalize their own bad behavior (see Step 4). "Reverse discrimination" was another example.

    Again, conservatives have literally been canceling cultures since somebody invented the notion of a conservatives. It's not an American thing. It's part and parcel of the conservative mindset. Cancel culture is so fundamental to conservatives principles, it's impossible to be a conservative with out it.

    How to be a conservative:
    Step 1: hang out with a bunch of people that look/act just like me
    Step 2: become disproportionally afraid of anybody that doesn't look/act just like me
    Step 3: actively cancel those cultures (i.e. kill and/or enslave those in other cultures. If you can't for some reason, systemically stack all the cards so those people cannot attain wealth/power)
    Step 4: convince all the other people that look/act just like me that "we" are inherently deserving or otherwise superior.
    Step 5: go back to Step 1

    The Taliban are conservatives. This formula works for them too.

    oh, yeah, well there's no science to it that's all I am saying. Whoever is using that word - whether its her or the person she is criticizing - the word science doesn't belong in the conversation.

    I guess the interpreter needs to run away
    To save his life
    If he wants to be free

    ahh, I figured out the source of the confusion. Your use of the demonstrative pronoun "that" needed a clear antecedent for the referent. You meant "that article by Althouse," gotcha.

    yes I read the article. No I don't know what that has to do with science. Yes I think that "Trump Derangement Syndrome" is related to "Biden Derangement Syndrome in full effect"

    glad we cleared that up ;)
