I like the dude but obviously he also confirms my biases so who knows.

But the only people I see talking bad about him are usually trots and borgeouis historians, what do you all think?

    Surely there are more accurate and descriptive terms to use for the range of possible outcomes other than “cancelled” which is a contemporary, ill-defined, and temporary term to encompass a wide range of circumstances.

    It’s also based in arrogance in that it assumes the person being “cancelled” somehow has a permanent entitlement to their position or title, that regardless of their behavior the market owes them a permanent place and recognition. This is bourgeois nonsense.

    Censorship, market conditions, silencing, etc. are far better descriptors of most circumstances where “cancelled” is used.
