A) OK so the Washington Football Team is having a hard time these days. First, they have to change their team name because of this Woke Culture. Now, the owner Daniel Snyder (poor guy everybody hates him) has to relinquish control of the team because of a toxic work environment. Damn big government... Wait a minute....the government had nothing to do with it! Here with the WFT is an example of the nation taking care of its business without any help from government.
B) In other news, the conservatives are attacking the "Woke" culture with a vengeance. From Fivethirtyeight.com: ... But in culture and politics today, the most prominent uses of “woke” are as a pejorative — Republicans attacking Democrats, more centrist Democrats attacking more liberal ones ...Those critical of so-called woke ideas and people often invoke the idea that they are being “canceled” or a victim of “cancel culture. ”First and perhaps most important, focusing on cancel culture and woke people is a fairly easy strategy for the GOP to execute, because in many ways it’s just a repackaging of the party’s long-standing backlash approach.... just the present-day equivalent of attacks from the right against “outside agitators” (civil rights activists in 1960s), the “politically correct” (liberal college students in the 1980s and ’90s) and “activist judges” (liberal judges in the 2000s). Is 538 right about this?
And conservatives want government to regulate private social media companies. Its getting confusing. So, are conservatives against big government, or just against change? Because it seems like this "woke culture" or "cancel culture" is actually a way to reduce government by a society policing itself, rather than the government doing it for them. Isn't this a conservative value?
So my question is, shouldn't conservatives and libertarians be in favor of the cancel culture rather than against it?
