Episode notes
Right Wing Cancel Culture As A Protective Measure
- Michael Knowles argues Melania Trump's call to fire Jimmy Kimmel is an example of right-wing cancel culture that should be embraced.
- He distinguishes this as excluding advocacy of political violence rather than silencing truthful dissent, citing Kimmel's mock about the president's death.
Use Consequences Not Debate For Violent Rhetoric
- Do ostracize, fire, prosecute, or sue people who call for or normalize political violence, Knowles says.
- He cites Hassan Piker and others as examples where firing, prosecution, or legal action is the proper response beyond debate.
Some Ideas Deserve Exclusion From Debate
- Knowles invokes Buckley/Chesterton: some thoughts 'ought to be stopped' and excluded from debate.
- He frames exclusion of Nazis/communists as a conservative tradition of protecting society from destructive ideas.
