So I was gonna post another video, but then I saw this
And I thought this was an interesting topic for a discussion so lets do just that
Hello and welcome to The Show!
I’m glad a larger account is talking about this, because anyone who has been trying to follow my channel and the non-left in general, it's a big problem
What to say about cancel culture
The left was considered champions for free speech but are now champions of cancel culture
University of California Berkeley was known as the hub of the free speech movement
The same University erupted in riots recently when Milo Yiannapolous was practicing his freedom of speech
How did this Waqt, Haalat, Zindagi change?
After the 60s, postmodernism, intersectionality and decoloniality became mainstays of Western academia
They teach that the world is divided between "oppressors" and "oppressed"
the idea was propagated that said that said that words can be violent
and so, only “oppressed people” have the right to speak and people of “privilege” need to listen
and if they disagree then to protect the oppressed people from harm, we must stop them from speaking
Must tell someone. "hi chachaji, did you know that words are violent?"
What? My words broke his leg
Better tell Mamaji. Oh no, my words broke Mamaji's leg as well
Dad messaged me: "don't call me i don't want my leg broken with your words"
This ideology has been dominating Western academia
The change that has happened in the USA has also resulted in a change in India
Indian interne is a bit slower so the cancel culture came to India with a lag but it did come
It has been created obviously in India by our very own Patrakaar Popatlal
And since then it has really created a home for itself in India.
India never had proper free speech like America. However, the liberals in India used to fight for Free Speech
But even that situation has completely changed on its head
Our Country’s liberals always talk about how Freedom Of Speech is dying in India after Modi
But I want to ask them, instead of helping free speech fight Modi, why are you stabbing it in the back?
There are plenty of examples of "liberals" sabotaging free speech
The crush of every liberal Jawahar Lal Nehru was the one who first created cancel culture in India by putting restrictions on speech
Only recently, we permanently lost SablokTantra who has been banned from YouTube. Which left winger came out to support him?
Some were celebrating his removal
There are many previously mentioned examples of cancel culture on Youtube
So called liberals doxxed teenagers to ruin their lives simply for the crime of making memes
There are so-called liberal squads on Twitter that mass report users and try to get their accounts deleted
A theatre artist was fired from his job because he joined the BJP
Remember how liberals celebrated the attacks on Arnab By Congress Goons and how they had celebrated his arrest
People continued to support Maharashtra government after they demolished Kangana’s office and even after they said she has no right to live in Mumbai
But cancel culture never stops at little things, it always escalates
And most recently, there is an attempt to cancel Hindutva movement through the dismantling global Hindutva project
And finally, we have reached the ultimate goal, which is to cancel Hindus, here is a an Oxford professor who wants to stop Hindus from entering America
Wow. An Oxford professor wants to get rid of Hindus
this madam's brain is so large that her head had to increase in size to fit it
Secondly, why are we worried about Afghan Refugee crisis? mataji’s head is bigger than all of Afghanistan we can settle all the refugees here
Secondly, why did American leave so many Afghans behind?
Even if they lost Bagram airbase, they could have still used her forehead to land planes and evacuated them all
But this is the ultimate goal of cancel culture from the leftists, if you can’t beat them in an argument, stop them from speaking altogether.
The idea is that since words are violence
its ok to stop privileged people that can cause such violence to oppressed people like Minorities, anti-Hindu SC/ST/OBCs.
So basically, its ok to stop Hindus from speaking
This here is the most important scene of the video
And this is the end goal of cancel culture. You think it will only cancel your enemies but at the end of the day it cancels you as well
We have already seen how people have tried to cancel committed Leftists like Swara Bhaskar, Naseeruddin Shah, and Gul Panag for slightly disagreeing with the agenda
People even tried to cancel DHrruv Rathee just for disagreeing slightly with Black lives matter
This is the ultimate lesson for people about cancel culture. If you have a mad dog or release a poisonous gas, it won’t just bite/kill your enemies, it will affect you as well
This is a lesson that the non-left has to realize as well
even we want to cancel people like Rathee Akash Banerjee throw comedians like Munawwar Faarooqui, Agrima Joshua in jail
I would like to honestly apologize to the comedy community for calling Agrima Joshua and Munawwar faaruqui "comedians"
ban movies like Tandav, Leila and TV Shows like the Empire
This is a lesson for you as well. That if you try to cancel free speech of people you don’t like, it will not end with you. It will come back to you.
So if you did watch this video, what we need to learn as a society, is that cancel culture cancels everyone
more speech is better than less speech
We will get offended more, we will get outraged more. But I would much rather live in a society where I am offended
than in a society in which I am silenced and jailed for speaking my mind.
