Most of the bitching about cancel culture is stupid, but it's amazing how fast everyone on twitter turns on someone like an inch from them politically and tries to prove they are a nazi on a barest shred of evidence.
I still at disbelief at the Antisemitic Christman Reptiles thing. It's kinda affected my attitude to what can probably be described as "standpoint epistemology" popular on twitter.
I never really understood the Mattstream stuff about people obsessively jockeying for position in online spaces by trying to separate the virtuous from the damned, but then I started reading Twitter threads and bios instead of just screenshots and everything sort of clicked.
Seems like I'm bad at searching shit on twitter, but Matt posted a photo of Alex Acosta (who's not jewish) and made a joke about conspiracy theories being onto something considering how reptilian he looks. Immediately a couple of prominent jewish leftist accounts cancelled him and the whole pod by association for doing antisemitic tropes.
Same shit happened to Contrapoints at points when she made a video where she discussed capitalism using the reptilian metaphor.
A seemingly sane person wrote "using antisemitic tropes against gentiles normalises antisemitsm", followed it with "this is why no one takes you brocialists seriously" and it has permenantly fried my brain.

Not sure I remember this one.

Edit: Found the screenshot of the original tweet.
