Truth about Consequences 0
The editorial board of The Roanoke Times punctures the pretense behind right-wing claims that there’s something called “cancel culture.” A snippet (emphasis added):
One of the first lessons we learn as children is that actions have consequences.
If we eat all our peas, we’ll get dessert.
If we pull the cat’s tail, we’ll probably get scratched.
If we put our hand on a hot stove, we’ll get burned.
These are simple lessons, even if they’re sometimes disagreeable. We really hate peas and pulling the cat’s tail is kind of fun, although getting clawed to bloody shreds isn’t.
So why, then, all the fuss over something now being called “the cancel culture”?
This is simply a larger version of that childhood lesson: Actions have consequences. Those who object to the so-called “cancel culture” just don’t like those consequences.
