Courage is Contagious: Rikki Schlott on Fighting Back Against Cancel Culture 

To quote Mike Muir (Suicidal Tendencies)"And if I offended you well, I'm sorry but, maybe you needed to be offended. And one more thing..F#@k you"!

It just means your soft!

Nice, I can be as racist as I want, as long as im not promoting violence

I live in asia and they are as racist as phuk but im not going to cry about it .

@user-rl2rl2whatever Yes you can. It's called "freedom". Ever heard that word before?

If you did it today would probably get you cancelled

Right out of the leftist playbook. 1. Deny it's happening 2. Downplay it's happening 3. Admit it's happening but say it's good 4. Push it 100% and destroy contrary This is a very effective strategy because it's the "frog in the boiling water" type thing. At first the masses don't realize, by the time they realize, they are acquainted with it and by the time they'd resist, they have been accustomed to it/brainwashed into it.

You know that the civil rights act was 59 years old and many Americans did little or nothing to make sure that it was done sooner, or not needed at all. Finally people are having little tolerance for bigotry. If a person isn’t spewing bigoted rhetoric, what’s the concern?

Ive been exercising the 1st on youtube a lot lately. Just found out im on the 'Terror/Extremeist' watchlist. Native American of 40 years and white. Imagine that feeling of knowing in my governments eyes that im an enemy to them. I would tell my wife but she would be terrified and take my daughter away. So im trapped knowing this information and not being to share with loved ones.

​@ShawnPatton-rm2hv "If you're not guilty, then you have nothing to hide!" And that's not even addressing the fact that you people have completley diluted words like "bigotry, racism etc etc." Going even further, even if it IS bigoted or racist, it is protected under free speech. Period. It's almost like you either completely missed or just don't care that it's specifically designed to protect speech you DON'T agree with!

They should be read in all high schools

And LGBTQ and books about racism in America.

@@ShawnPatton-rm2hv As soon as you stop being fascist, trash.

They should be required reading material in high school so that when kids go to college, they're already empowered with information to protect them from marxist "professors".

​@@ShawnPatton-rm2hv I agree. Racism towards caucasians is very prevalent and socially acceptable nowadays and the alphabet community, minus the Ls, Gs and Bs, needs to be exposed for their hypocrisy.

What about if you didn't turn off the oven and now the house has burned down?

@@bungobilbo5709 Well, he did say "you *didn't* do", so... that one's on you

It's the Trump rule.

Don't kneel, don't sing the Black National Anthem, don''t lick any victims' boots.

Not only did I do it, but I’d do it again! How’s that for an apology?

"Cancel culture" is the antithesis of culture!

I agree with her on the topic of forgiveness.

​@@GaryR55 Just learned what Marxism is, eh? Karl Marx was all about destroying things, primarily human society.

​@VariantAEC you clearly haven't actually read anything on Marxism😂😂 minute long videos on right wing social media don't count

@@VariantAEC Actually, kid, I've been aware of it since I met a Russian couple, one of whom worked with my father. Their names were Igor and Illena and they had escaped the Soviet Union to live in the United States. They told me what their life in the USSR had been like while visiting my father and I. This was in 1957, when I was 5. So, what would you like to know about Marxism? Yeah, you should have seen the film footage of Nikita Kruschev saying, in Russian, "We will bury you." Saw that on TV when I was 9.

That has actually happened, which is pretty hilarious.

As long as she's provided a voice (via Stossel). Otherwise, she would have remained invisible and unknown like the other 99%. 😂

This stuff is very easy to understand. She's just decided to not be silent anymore.

@@Novastar.SaberCombat If she wasn't brave, intelligent, and ambitious, she would have never grabbed his attention. That's how things work.

What do you mean liberal? How is this determined in 3 minutes?

Liberal labels are wholly inaccurate-they are the antitheses of what’s going on in workplaces and campuses.

Flickboogers you should stick to what you're good at. It's in the name. Also, make sure that chin strap on your helmet is tight.

@@flickboogers9325

@@adamstarr7287 You can't even read... it's clear since you ignorant question

Yes, but if someone has more coin, connections, clout, crews, computer code, control, communities, and opportunities than do you... you'll be silenced and censored. No exceptions.

Preach! 🎉

Do you ever speak with the intention of not being offensive?

Only certain people are purportedly offended. But they're very loud, belligerent and self centered. We need to learn to ignore them.

It is completely OK to be offended and to offend people. What is not OK is to sanction people for what they say.

98% of America is dead

Just now after speech has already been severely curtailed?

Start by telling a broad her ass looks good in those yoga pants. See how pro free speech women are. They started this nonsense,they are the original victim class that paved the way for all the rest. It’s not a generation it’s a gender that’s the problem.

With the freedom to speak, people also have the freedom to ignore or dismiss.

And with that comes the freedom to disagree.

That's 2 of us.

NAILED IT

yeah, they can only take away your job, your access to banking, get you arrested for "hate crime", force everyone, friends, family to disassociate from you or else they too get cancelled. no one can really be cancelled 🙄

I believe Matt Walsh said something similar.

@@hotshotbrave He definitely did, either followed or preceded by "Kiss my ass" to the attempted cancelers LOL

@@kingofthorns203 just how it should be!

You can, just don't go on the internet and cry about it for likes. : |

I know right?!? Let's just look at the things that have been cancelled in the last year or so: Bud Light- supported a transgender..they got "cancelled" Chick-fil-a- Supported DEI investing, you know, how they invest their own money...they got "cancelled" Target- they had the audacity to sell a product that someone would want. But if it isn't what this side wants, "Hell No"...they got "cancelled" NFL- They didn't murder a man that made a statement about his beliefs by simply taking a knee, not burning cities to the ground, just kneeling...they got "cancelled" Parler- Oh no, THEY cancelled it, you mean it wasn't supported by business that didn't choose to finance a place that many were slinging hate filled messages, about killing jews and blacks several times per day. But freedom of those businesses should be paramount... Josh Hawley- "They cancelled my book deal because I stood up for my beliefs." First you knowingly tried to interfere with an election that the majority of election fraud, ballot tampering etc. that has been unearthed, has been by Team Elephant. Nike- How dare a company decide to support someone? You guessed it, they got "cancelled" Kuerig- pulled their ad dollars from Hannity (their freedom of choice right?) they got "cancelled" Gillete-decided that hey, ya know, women buy razors too...they got "cancelled" Mr Potato Head- gee, wouldn't it be easier if the manufacturer put bot sets of gender identifying parts in the package, and let the kid decide what they want it to be? Hasbro got so worked up, they jumped ship on an idea that could have save several thousands of pounds of packaging every year, but what are ya gonna do? They tried to cancel the Barbie movie before it got going, but that was not their moment of success. Fox News- DJT said his people should stop watching since "they no longer work for the Republican Party." I don’t minimize bans from the left. But the notion that cancel culture is the sole province of the so called “woke left” is flat out, undeniably, irrefutably wrong.

To be fair, the attacks, while evil and horrible, weren't unprovoked. And yes, both sides can be wrong.

​@@acem82get ratio'd

​@acem82 they were absolutely unprovoked. They killed 1200 civilians that had nothing to do with their war other than they were Jewish and Israeli.

@@Marin3r101 Yes, how dare I tell the truth? What was I thinking?

"I'd like to punch him in the face." - Donald Trump, on a peaceful protester

Who is Vivek Ramaswamy?

A lot of Universities have endowments that could pay for everyone's education, but in my opinion, they are an outdated method of education.

Such universities (e.g. all of them) should be bankrupt and gone. There is no _higher learning_ at university and college campuses these days... only _higher indoctrination._ That's really wrong, and it's a huge disservice to our progeny. It is literally evil.

Just curious, is trying to cancel 81 million votes a restriction on freedom of speech?

@@user-pv9ev3nu6s No, but believing Biden got 81 million votes is probably a sign of insanity.

That's what I do not understand. Some if not most of these CHILDREN are from these parents that did that. NOW it's scary words with ZERO consequences. They chased away Ben Sharpio from Berkeley.

The party of the hippies is now: - pro big government - pro censorship - pro war - pro big business I never would have believed it back in the 60's.

She provided the answer. Extremists who want to control everyone only win when the masses cower and let bullies push them around. Oligarchs fund and even found such groups like BLM for that purpose.

People who hate and destroy society are currently doing just that! Look around you.... the USA is in worse condition now then ever! 100% free speech is the only way to correct these issues. There will always be bad actors but the good should also be able to speak without concern of oppressive terms.

Ask yourself the other question, what happens if you censor those who supposedly hate society. The answer is the same

I've thought about the same thing and it's troubling. It's like I'm fine with free speech if the whack jobs using it to tear down the country are always a fringe minority that will have no impact. But how are people suppose to react who love this country, the Constitution and all the freedoms we have here when the opposition becomes more than a fringe minority? When about half the population decide they hate this country, it's history, and the Constitution. And those views are supported by the mainstream news and entertainment media. Would the founders of this country believe it's okay to suspend certain aspects of the Constitution in order to prevent the destruction of the country?

​@@dunhoppethey reveal themselves and their bad ideas. We engage with other ideas, and let the best ones stand up for themselves as they naturally do. The bad takes and ideas have finally been teetering and falling by the wayside. For they have shown no outcomes to actually come into fruition that created any meaningful nor positive change for the better. Just more negative bad behaviors from bad actors, opportunist, culture wars hustlers of the perpetual victimhood academy of intellectuals that perpetuate hostile environment that make no sense to be the core of our issues. But rather, just distractions steering us away from trying to fix our real issues that affect it all. Not just a minority group.

We have to stop the Marxism! Communism is prison for humanity.

Trump is the epitome of cancel culture. He tried to cancel the votes of 81 million Americans. Funny how Stossel didn't mention that.

Funny you mentioned that.. I had a house in Calif. and asked some realtors to come talk about taking the listing.. I had a Banner covering one window to block the sun in the summer.. The banner had an American flag and said "God Bless America".. One realtor suggested that I take it down and cover the window with tin-foil because it would "look better".. In Calif. the junkies cover their windows with tin-foil. I didn't give him the listing..

@@twistedhillbilly6157 My realtor actually asked me if I wouldn't mind moving my books! Who the hell was she showing my place to, only Democrats?!

She just wanted to increase the chances of selling. Doing her job, actually.. And you were impeding it by putting books on display where people from CA could see them and get disgusted by yout house @@GaryR55​

Or maybe she was just trying to help you sell your house.

@@davidtaylor4053 Of course she was. But you entirely missed the point, which was that in Oklahoma in 2006 there was NONE of this "cancel culture" nonsense going on yet, of course, but, oddly enough, this obviously leftist realtor seemed to believe that Democrats wouldn't buy my condo. How stupid and childish of her! As it turned out, a woman (political affiliation unknown and unimportant) bought my home for cash, for her daughter and grandchildren.

Give me a break. People have been writing books for generations, not only to make money but to share their experiences and ideas 🙄

Business decisions are personal decisions of owners. No one's entitled to be served or sold to. A more open business has a bigger market to sell to.

@@acctsys I disagree, if the employee isn't speaking for the company then employees should not be punished for the things they say on their own time

@@tiamoore2861 It's still the owner's prerogative. When the left made black only businesses, that's well and fine. The same principle applies. No one should be forced to hire anyone. A more open business has a bigger employee pool to choose from. The only ones who complain about this are those insecure about their ability to work, but force their ideology to the workplace. The best get to choose who to work for.

@@acctsys So we shouldn't have to do business with jews?

@@tiamoore2861 Also disagree. You have a freedom of association which includes a business or owner of a business. You're thinking is how we ended up with quotas because the right to associate was removed.

Good one! LOL

I like political philosophy, even when I don't agree with it. But Ayn Rand is just a bad philosopher. There are conservative political philosophers of substance, but she isn't one.

🤣

Just curious, what is Stossell's take on Trump's attempt to cancel 81 million American voters?

I'd love to hear some of those "war stories," LOL!

🤣

The US GOVERNMENT has given them that power. Remember THIS regime wanted a Ministry of Truth department - a US canceling of people.

Wealthy, powerful, popular narcissists have full control.

Exactly! When someone shows up to talk at a college campus to talk they ought to start bringing a bullhorn so they can talk over anyone who tries to shout over them to keep them from talking. They also ought to have security there that escorts people out if they do nothing but try to talk over the speaker. Make the tickets free so anyone can go, but have rules written and posted that say that if the rules aren't followed then you violated the terms of the ticket and are subject to being escorted out. Then put trying to talk over the speaker and keeping people in the audience from interacting as the speaker as 2 of the things that the rules prohibit.

@@Kenneth2413 On college campuses, 99% of the students are old enough to know better. If they feel they have to protest, then they should protest OUTSIDE the gathering, not n it. I don't mind a good debate, but they are not debating, they are violently parroting what they have been indoctrinated to do. Most don't even mind walking out, thinking it's a proud standing of what they believe in, not knowing, they actually look ridiculous.

I'm just an ol' yt cis male (last 4-5 years) I don't identify with that title. It's been Forced upon me. I've experienced every type of Cancellation right here, in the comments and lost my RU-vid acct??? I don't remember how many times! I only Hope the people cancelling me... Enjoy the same experience some day Moi

I think Marc Twain used to talk very freely about the number of times he had his ass kicked when he was young . That taught him HOW to connect with reality.

This new generation has been lied to and they need to understand that before they can let go.

Pay no mind to those who promote the arcane propaganda that one must get a degree to be successful. That is not true in any regard.

Outside of advanced degrees in STEM courses or a legitimate law degree, college is unnecessary to succeed in life. I''ve discovered that in my lifetime.

The pronouns are indeed straight out of idiocracy.

keep your head up you don't have to be successful so called college degrees. There are plenty good jobs don't require any four year and even community college degree. In reality most of my friends work don't require college degrees I know one of person work as carpenter graduated in four years Australian college. Only college degree worth are doctor lawyers nurses and teachers.

Does trying to cancel 81 million votes encourage freedom of expression to you?

Once upon a time, there used to be a sign behind almost every bar that read, "No Sales Pitching, Proselytizing, or Politicking on premises!"

Yes, it is.

Then what is it,bias, maybe?

@@jimmyagnew2184 It's standards, protecting the workplace, having principles and doing proper business. There are thousands of labor/workplace laws all defining rules that are expected to be followed. None of them include canceling/revenge/persecution. Cancel Culture is not a protected workplace practice. You can't do it, and you can't insist others do it. The Woke continue to push moral relativism so that they can define words anyway they wish and whenever they wish. They practice the scummy side of lawyering where double talk, legalize, and lies are used to win arguments and manipulate people with the power of the Government to enforce laws.

@@cqking7465 No it's not. You are confusing it with discrimination. Cancel Culture is an act of aggression not a protected class of person, religion, sex or ethnicity. It's a behavior like murder or assault which is often illegal regardless of employment requirements. So, saying that you can't work somewhere because of standards isn't Cancel Culture where the response is to dox, threaten, intimidate or harass. Saying/hearing the word NO isn't violence and it's simply an important part of life.

The vast majority of people are not cancel culture. They even discussed how a small group of people can silence huge amounts of people.

It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a professional planner and fixed-income strategist in NY. The fixed income portion of your portfolio won't simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will provide legitimate income.

I couldn't agree more. Taking charge of your life and putting in the hard work is the path to success. Having a portfolio manager like Mr. Samuel Peter Descovich is a game-changer. Their expertise and guidance can truly transform your financial journey. Making $35,000 in profits each month and saving 70% of that is quite impressive!They save you time and provide valuable insights that lead to impressive profits. Keep up the amazing work, and enjoy the fruits of your labor..

Found his website easily. It was like the first thing that came up when I searched his name. I'll surely touch basis with him to see what the best step is for me to take right now. THANK YOU!!!

It’s unfortunate most people don’t have such information, I don’t really blame people who panic cos lack of information can be a big hurdle. I’ve been making more than $65k passively investing with Samuel Peter Descovich, and I don’t have to do much work. It doesn’t matter if the market is crashing, I will always make good profit returns.

-I just looked up his name on Google and saw his impressive resume. I consider myself lucky to have found this comment area..

I would LOVE for them to say no more of this crap. They are doing this TO themselves... frankly I will LOVE it when they report they are not doing well financially and they will.

Sadly, most universities are taken over by the marxist fascists.

What do you think of Donald Trump trying to cancel 81 million voters?

Yeahh. I honestly don't know why John didn't mentioned that. We still have morality even when wr become Libertarian.

*_Condé Nast_* has no choice. Only idiots apply.

No one is infringing on the right to protest. Employers are simply expressing their right to hire only people who bring value to their businesses.

@@paulwooton4390exactly. It doesn’t necessarily go against free speech. You can say whatever you want, doesn’t mean cant not hire you because of the stupid things you say or do. I wouldnt want some protestor working for me. Shows immaturity.

Qualify your statement. Because that sounds suspiciously vague.

What if a company doesn't want to hire women, gays, Muslims or black people? That is not okay, right? Where do you draw the line?

​@@chronick6142got some bad news for you, if they don't want to hire them, they won't hire them, even now with discrimination laws, you cannot legislate to hire people they don't want to higher, they can just say, they've hired a better candidate, their resume wasn't what we were looking for, there's a million excuses a business own can use

They ARE acting as a government though. Just like she said the college had a mechanism to report people - which is childish in my opinion.

@@chronick6142it’s why the 14th Amendment was installed into our constitution. Ya got your first amendment, but it’s followed by guidelines and then for more detailed guidelines, it’s left up to the individual states to create legislation, so long it does not infringe on the Federal Constitution.

​@@HollyMoore-wo2mhit is also against the law depending on thier enforcement policy. They can have the snitch line for research but the minute and consequences are handed out because of it it violates the 1st amendment. Most colleges recieve government funds and are by proxy and extension of the government, therefore they are limited by the constitution in what they can and can't do.

Yes, deal with it, heard that one before too 🤔🤣

Sure, but 99% of the things that people are getting 'cancelled' over are harmless things that happen to be considered political now, which weren't 10 years ago. If you told my grandpa that shortly after his death, people would start losing their ability to get a job because they were a conservative he'd roll his eyes and say "my generation fought too hard for that to never happen. It'd take a long time of negligence from the patriots to get to that point."

Thats 100% true, I didn't mean political things. I mean like, I hate "insert people here" Or shouting fire in a crowded theatre etc. @@jazzyj7834

Like saying who keeps funding this crap?

Of course you can. The employer has free speech also.

Like the truth?

People want to pretend they're a celebrity until the character assassination that goes with it begins. I'm so glad I've always been a wallflower.

I think the censoring even happens here. I'm sure most everyone has noticed how there might be twelve replies to a post, yet you click on the replies and maybe only six of them show up. I can't think of any other reason than censorship that these posts are not allowed to be seen by others.

@@swlc5555 Your right! I’ve noticed that.

Was the 2020 election rigged?

I saw that. Some black kid got offended by the Mandarin word for "uh" in English. So stupid.

Good for him! Plenty of kids don't escape because they don't figure out what is going on. They don't have the education to identify it, ironically.

Universities claim to love "diversity", until someone has a conservative or conflicting view........
