Chomsky is correct (that's going to get screenshotted).

Cancelling people, shutting them down and cancel culture overall actually has the opposite effect of what a lot of wokies think it does.

I've worked with a lot of people who were cancelled, so let me explain.

When someone who has somewhat of a platform (small twitter, youtube account, actually makes some kind of content) get cancelled, then people will flock to their socmed and subsribe to show their support.

So, they ended up gaining more of an audience from their cancelling.

BUT, this new audience came from within the right wing sphere, the ones most against cancel culture (in current year). People who have somewhat of a platform and get cancelled will find that the overwhelming majority of people who flock to them will be right wing.

When people get a large audience, they want to keep this audience, especially if that audience becomes a source of income, as since they have been cancelled, they have no other option to pay the bills, so they need to keep their audience happy to secure that income.

Their audience is right wing, so they need to say right wing things to keep them happy. They will start lurching further to the right because they want to keep their audience and their income, because they are worried about their security

This results in another large right wing content creator coming around, convincing a lot more people of their right wing views. You created another megaphone for the right wing.

Bet you wish you had never cancelled them now eh?

As for people without a platform, just random people being cancelled, like Steve the warehouse guy, just because he made some tweet from his 4 follower account and he was unfortunate enough for some woke blue tick to find it. Well he loses everything, job, friends, all of it.

He doesnt have any kind of platform for people to flock to, so there is nothing really for him to gain from this, he just simply loses everything, gains nothing. He has no job, no house, nothing.

I've worked with a lot of people like Steve, want to know what happens?

In almost ALL cases, they join some right wing group, they absolute fucking hate the left, political correctness, diversity, all of it, they blame all of it for the position they are in (half right) and now dedicate their life to railing against it.

And with no job and literally nothing left to lose, there is nothing really stopping them. Well done, your cancel culture just created another full time activist and good fucking luck trying to get him to change his mind about you after you took literally everything from him.

I've also worked with people arrested for hate crimes, from things ranging from shouting "p*ki" at a shop owner to full on assault.

Do you think giving them a more severe sentence for their crime because it was a hate crime, made them more or less racist?

More, way more, so much fucking more racist. In all cases I have dealt with apart from 2.

When you lose 8 months of your life because you said a single word to a shopkeeper who was of a different race, are you going to come out of prison liking them or their race?

What they do actually learn, is how to hide their racism. Cool, another secret racist. Lots of these ones have also went on to join far right groups.

I get people tweeting at me all the time saying "look at these statistics, it proves that the far right are on the rise."

Well if after years of hate crime laws, cancellings, derision, verbal attacks, physical attacks, schools telling your 6 year old they need puberty blockers, banning books, harassment, a constant slew from mainstream media telling them what shit people they are

If after ALL of that, for ALL this time, the far right isn't actually going away, but it's actually getting worse and growing even bigger, what does that tell you?
