It sure looks like Paramount's movies won't be in my watchlist in the foresable future.

@p_balduino @dallo mccarthyism rhymes with thatcherism
@dallo @strypey @weyoun6 ok, but you do see how that is violent, and a lot more than a boycott, right? That it reproduces the carceral state? I'm not going to say it's inherently good or bad in any case, context matters, but destroying lives is destroying lives.
@quinn @strypey @weyoun6 I am not into death threats but doxing and destroying someone's personal ability to make a living seems to work against fascists

@dallo @strypey @weyoun6 as a person who got cancelled twice with relatively little power, cancel culture can be incredibly horrific. Boycotts don't come with death threats, doxing, or destroying someone's personal ability to make a living.
@strypey
Cancel culture is just a fancy name for boycott. Boycott is great. Assert you values.

> Paramount Has Blocklist for Stars Deemed Pro-Palestinians
Can we all acknowledge that Cancel Culture is a real problem now? Or am I doomed to being condemned as a RWNJ for merely suggesting it.
Also, fuck Paramount and their enabling of fascist genocide.
@dallo
> Boycott is core part of cancel culture
These are two totally different things. Boycotts, like BDS or fossil fuel divestment, target *businesses*. Cancel culture targets *individuals*.
> We must ostracized, called out and stop bigotry or it will kill us like it already does in a large part of the world
No doubt this is the excuse Paramount would use to justify trying to destroy the livelihood of actors who support Palestinian human rights. Do you buy this excuse?
@quinn
Comparing that to the carceral state is a big nope. Did you went to prison to do so? Boycott is core part of cancel culture. The most passive part. What you are talking about is more related to harassement, isn't it?
We must ostracized, called out and stop bigotry or it will kill us like it already does in a large part of the world.
@dallo @strypey @weyoun6 going after people instead of institutions is morally suspect, but more importantly it's mostly useless. Punishing people is carceral logic writ small, mass action (including boycotts) require solidarity and most of all care and compassion. When we lose that, we lose it all, And that's the world we're in now.
@dallo @strypey @weyoun6 that sounded a lot cleverer in your head.
@strypey
Hitler was a individual, wasn't he?
@quinn
Who say instead?
@dallo
> Including applying the social contract of tolerance to exclude and target bigotry
This is doublethink. Cancel culture is bigotry, in the form of organised intolerance. But you can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into. So I suspect @quinn are wasting out time trying to reason with you about this.
@quinn
I have enough empathy and solidarity for everyone enduring oppressive behavior to organize and contribute to any actions to change the system. Including applying the social contract of tolerance to exclude and target bigotry.
