Madre słowa, sama prawda. "lewica" odjechała kompletnie i teraz jest ciężkim szoku że się odwineło.
doskonale pamiętam czasy bezlitosnego, natychmiastowego banowania na social media za minimalne choćby odsunięcie od aktualnie narzuconej narracji czy minimalne choćby słowa krytyki, i robienie z każdego "faszysty".
No ale się skończyło.
. Peaking during the summer of BLM in 2020—when people were fired for questioning the idea of “white privilege” and failing to post black squares on social media—cancel culture was an effective tool used by the Left to retain cultural hegemony and prevent political opponents from winning. Hard as it is to believe now, there was a time when ALL social media companies enforced woke orthodoxy and censored dissent. Feminists like Meghan Murphy were banned from Twitter for saying men can’t become women. Suggesting that COVID was likely to have originated in a Chinese laboratory - now the consensus view of the CIA, FBI, prominent scientists and a wide range of reputable organisations - resulted in an instant and coordinated ban across social media.
Throughout this period, those of us on the Left who reluctantly voiced opposition to this behaviour—on the basis that it contradicted every principle the Left had stood for our entire lives, namely belief in freedom of speech, science, the pursuit of truth, skepticism of big pharma, opposition to racial discrimination, free and fair elections and so on—were told that we were not, in fact, on the Left. On the contrary, we were now “right wing” and eventually even “far right” as this cartoon from my friend Colin Wright illustrates:
