Haven&#8217;t we been told that all that bigoted stuff is what far-right personalities do? So why is this seemingly far-right group attacking far-right personalities?

Remember, cancel-culture is the effort to remove politically incorrect people from public life &#8211; to embarrass or hound them into silence and perhaps unemployment. &#8220;Woke&#8221; people on the Left have been doing this for some time. Are people on the Right doing it now too?<\/p>\n<p>Have we entered a new era of <strong>Big MAC &#8211; Mutually Assured Cancellation<\/strong>? Will everyone be canceled? But there&#8217;s still more to my befuddlement&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Can efforts to cancel someone ever be considered defensive in nature? Do we have a free speech right, protected by the First Amendment, to advocate that someone be canceled? At what point do cancellation attacks cross over from being simply annoying to <strong>legally actionable acts of aggression<\/strong> that violate the Zero Aggression Principle?<\/p>\n<p>Jim Babka thinks he knows the answers to some of these questions. But does he really? Bill Protzmann attempts to pry it out of him in the latest episode of Gracearchy. Give it a listen, and decide if you want to cancel Jim, or apply his philosophy to these matters.<\/p>\n<p style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Roboto, RobotoDraft, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;\" align=\"center\"><strong style=\"font-size: 18px;\"><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, geneva, sans-serif;\"><a style=\"color: #ffffff; background-color: #b90f10; border: 1px solid #b90f10; border-radius: 6px; display: inline-block; font-size: 1.2em; line-height: 1.25em; text-decoration-line: none; width: 350px;\" href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zm22zeCO1xE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Kiwi Farms Case<\/a><\/span><\/strong>,<\/p>\n<p>Perry Willis<br \/>\nCo-creator<br \/>\nZero Aggression Project<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The curious case of Kiwi Farms<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7001,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[760],"tags":[876,757,758,816,878,761,25,879,881,883,28],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Does Jim Babka love cancel culture?
