My very first post on the re-launched CONTINENTAL CONGRESS was this one, titled NEVER AGAIN?. In it, I described the basic template that Totalitarian Societies use to first silence, then imprison, and finally, to eliminate political or social undesirables… however they define that term.
The Gina Carano affair proves, as if any further proof were needed, that we are currently in the “silence” phase.
God help us all.
UPDATE: seeing some (mild) pushback that, because Cancel Culture is being enforced by private companies/people like Disney+ and the NYT and not the Government, I should not be thinking of it as the Canary in the Coal Mine warning of a slide into Totalitarianism… I’m gonna push back on that by asking a question…. name one Totalitarian society where oppression of dissidents was not backed-up or otherwise enforced by private sector corporations and private citizens.
