Just 2 centuries around here having inquisition in place made sure no other alternatives exist nowadays. Genocide is effective kids. Learn from History.
Cancelling, try torture and butchering.
Well, yeah, but it's not supposed to happen to them. They're the ones who are supposed to be in charge, not just morally and ethically, but also economically. If they can get called out for their bullshit it's a warning sign to them. Their massive privileges are being eroded and it scares the shit out of them.
How much have you read about the history of religion?
If they're not doing it to others, they're doing it to themselves. The last time there wasn't a Christian church leader ranting about an evil person was around year 0.

Anyone up for some D&D?
For anyone who isn't aware of the Satanic Panic, this was a pretty fun time to be a D&D player:

I believe the culture war junk is part of distract and divide tactics. 'hey parents don't worry about all the bloodshed from neoliberal policies, your kids are summoning demons!'
That’s why I wear my “Let’s summon demons!” shirt at every opportunity. Pearl clutching intensifies!
You can't just mention D&D and Satanic Panic without sharing the Chick Tract.

Man, my friend got all his D&D stuff taken away in 1984, he bought new stuff and left it at my house, which was fine by me as he said I could use it even if he wasn't around.

The campaigns to ban video games by Christian groups is one of the biggest examples of cancel culture in modern times.

Literally every accusation from a right winger is a confession

Wait until they go broke buying trump bibles only to bemoan the lack of social welfare and health programs they continually try to kill.
If there’s anything Suzerain taught me over the last few days it’s that sometimes you have to pull an Urdnot Wrex and drag the ignorant forward before their own short sighted self interest gets everyone killed.
Yes I really enjoyed making two video game references lol
No, it's "shunning" when they do it. It's "cancel culture" when other people do it.
Proper manipulation of language is key to fighting a culture war.
Never mind Christians- long before this "cancel culture" bullshit started, Republicans were perfectly happy to censor the Dixie Chicks and basically destroy their careers because they dared to criticize George W. Bush.
I've never heard any of them say that was wrong of them, just that cancel culture is the worst thing ever.
Decades? Millennia!
