NYU’s decision to withhold Logan Rozos’s degree for denouncing genocide in Gaza in his graduation speech is the latest example of right-wing cancel culture. After criticizing it on the Left, conservatives have learned to rally “woke” mobs of their own.

    I agree with the sentiment, but the phrase “cancel culture” only exists because conservatives needed a label to slap on themselves to come off as victims. It’s never been a legitimate thing in the way they are using it, but it has been weaponized by them forever, but it was labeled differently, or not at all.

    It’s a combination of the fact that conservatives are the dumbest people in the world, and the fact that they can just do whatever shitty things they want with our consequences is infuriating, coupled with the pure hypocrisy of their statements and actions. Really, I fucking hate conservatives more than almost anything in this world, and it taints everything they are tangentially associated with.
