sas5814 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 A writer who spoke about cancel culture cancelled by the cancel culture warriors. We wouldn't want to have any open dialogue now would we? Just cancel people and places that offend you. It has really gotten tedious. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalPA Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Can someone offer a quick rundown on who Bari Weiss is? What is the issue with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sas5814 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 (edited) According to The Washington Post, Weiss "portrays herself as a liberal uncomfortable with the excesses of left-wing culture",[71] and has sought to "position herself as a reasonable liberal concerned that far-left critiques stifled free speech".[72] Vanity Fair described Weiss as "a provocateur".[6] The Jewish Telegraphic Agency said that her writing "doesn't lend itself easily to labels".[73] Weiss has been described as conservative by Haaretz, The Times of Israel, The Daily Dot, and Business Insider.[74][75][76][77] In an interview with Joe Rogan, she described herself as a "left-leaning centrist".[78] She quit WOPO in protest over their pandering to the left and has been doing podcasts and TV appearances talking about cancel culture and the extreme left. She also tries to have people with different opinions come on her podcast. I suppose in many circles that makes her guilty of some kind of phobia or ism. To me its dialogue and we have to get back to being able to disagree without the currently mandatory hate and anger. We have become so intolerant and thin skinned it is mind boggling. I am, if I have to be labeled, a centrist with libertarian leanings. I have friends on the far left and the far right and everywhere in between. My tolerance for others opinions stretches until hate or violence is involved. Not perceived hate or violence or tender feelings... real hate and violence. My friends and I simply disagree and, so far, none of us has tried to have the others erased or fired or anything else. We just shrug and move on.

There are people who will simply melt down if exposed to an alternative viewpoint. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I've heard half a dozen reminders regarding decorum and collegiality from the HOD podium so far, and we're nowhere near the interesting resolutions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I addressed a number of serious and contentious issues in a very patient-focused and polite manner, and honestly, I wouldn't have done it any other way.
