Honestly if everything is an offensive term now then we need to make 'trailer trash' offensive enough to get fired over as well.

Alinsky - RULE 4: "Make the enemy live up to its own book of rules."

I was trailer trash and I don't give two shits about that term because I got out of that situation courtesy of the United States Army

Same, don't care but want it to be equal. If you cancel for saying ghetto thugs you cancel foe saying trailer trash too.

I'm old enough to remember Don Imus getting cancelled for saying "nappy headed hoes"

Agreed but this is so fucked

I agree with you on that point of principle.

However, his cancel was for being a free-thinking young man.

The "trailer trash" thing was the ostensible reason, not the actual one.

Doesn't matter. You have to make the enemy live up to its own set of rules.

The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly. ~Lincoln (canceled 2020)

Totally don't disagree. But an eye for an eye....blah blah blah.

Commandment #8: Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

If I'm not offended by something, I won't feign offense to "get the win" on the other guy, you know what I mean? But yeah, I agree. It's a good tactic politically, but spiritually, I go to the source.

Thanks! Not preaching. Just my $0.02.

And as we take the 'higher road' we lose our jobs, lives and culture. Not sure God would be totally on board with that, but of course no one alive knows God fully.

At this time I will follow Alinskys tactics, and when I die I will be judged.

And if I am offended by the term trailer trash? Is this 'bearing false witness'?

my rule is the golden rule, treat others how you want to be treated.

if someone treats me poorly all the time, I change my rules to be "treat others how they treat you"

and that's exactly what this guy getting fired is. We are treating them how they treat us

When you stoop to the level of your enemy, they win.

I didn’t get the impression this guy was an enemy

He was an enemy of the DemoKKKrats.

They had to find something to cancel him on -- so they came up with that.

I did not have any sense that this kid had a malicious bone in his body.

But he was smart and thought for himself. That cannot be allowed.

Didn't watch it, was just quoting the rule.

We can switch words. Make others live up to their own book of rules.
