Classic Stossel: The Birth of Cancel Culture

Here you go, I’m going to say something politically-incorrect: don’t be a pussy. Stop apologizing for having an opinion, whatever the subject, i.e. – gay marriage, abortion, transgenderism, racism, cancel culture, whatever it may be. We as individuals have a right to an opinion and others have an equal right to agree or disagree with that opinion. However, they don’t have a right to get us fired or ruin our professional life, career, reputation, etc.

Our Constitution guarantees us ‘freedom of speech’. This is, in part, what is needed to have freedom and live in a free society. The a-holes who do not believe in free speech should move to a country where free speech is taboo (Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, China, North Korea) to name a few.

About Fernando

Am interested in science, politics and sports. I relish learning about the world and our (mankind's) place in it and where we're headed as a society, both locally and globally. Am a collector of fountain pens and folding (pocket) knives. Enjoy a good book, a good movie, playing chess and fantasy football.
