You can always seek restitution. Michael Flynn is seeking $50 million.

When someone says "cancel" do they mean "People were mean to me on Twitter" or do they mean "I was doxxed, harassed, threatened, lost my job, and had my security clearance revoked"? If it's the first one, maybe they're the snowflake. If it's the second one, then did it happen because of saying the wrong thing or did it happen because they're a lunatic? I ignore a lot of this crap, but I did delve into a few claimed cases of cancelation that sounded concerning to me. "An army officer was court-martialed just for asking questions". No, he was punished for accusing the army of crimes based on conspiracy crap he read on the internet without evidence and phrasing it in the form of questions. "Seven Conservatives were banned from Facebook." No, seven white supremacists were banned from Facebook. They proclaim themselves "Conservative" only because "Nazi" and "KKK" don't have any credibility. They're just giving conservatives a bad name and we should have been happy that Facebook kicked them off. I'll admit I do not investigate everything. I can't. Nobody can. But the few times I have dug into "cancellation" I found the reality of the situation bore very little resemblance to the meme about it. Unfortunately, boring reality cannot spread as fast as sensational memes. I guess I'm just saying take it all with a grain of salt. _____ From: AF <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > on behalf of Ken Hohhof <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Sent: Sunday, November 9, 2025 9:25 AM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT Pendulum Swings Now you can be cancelled for (supposedly) mocking something that happens in the future. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/one-photo-deluge-threats-arizona-high-school-turned-upside-right-wing-rcna241672 From: AF <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > On Behalf Of Chuck McCown Sent: Sunday, November 2, 2025 11:07 AM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > Subject: [AFMUG] OT Pendulum Swings Snippet from that leftist commie newspaper this morning (the NYT): Cancel Culture. There are more human beings in America eager to be offended than there are those who are eager to offend. A few years ago, people had their careers destroyed for uttering words that offended the snowflake left. Now people see their careers destroyed for uttering words that offend the snowflake right. These are words like diversity, equity, gender, nonbinary, antiracist, trauma and hate speech. Even just typing words like trauma traumatizes me. The horror! The horror! Snowflakes unite!
