Yeah I quit listening to those jokers when they immediately started cherry picking out-of-context quotes of Ye’s Alex Jones interview (before it had even finished airing) and concern trolling about how he was clearly mentally ill and it was wrong for people to give him a platform. Literally advocating for cancelling and silencing him and pretending like it was virtuous.
The worst thing about these guys is how they literally never say anything funny or entertaining ever and always agree with each other. It’s boring AF. It’s just them circle jerking their white guy take on mainstream news. Rush was funny. These guys forced me onto podcasts.
I hate cancel culture. I remain a free speech absolutist. If Kanye wants to say some shit that I don't agree with, fine. If people want to criticize (or praise) him for it, great. Kanye should still be allowed to say those things, and people should be allowed to criticize him.
This deplatform shit is old, stupid and anyone who advocates for it on any side are not good people.
I'm an absolutist too. Gavin McInnis interviewed Kanye, who had a black hood over his head, and Kanye actually said "I love Hitler" during the interview. I wasn't shocked, I wasn't appalled, I laughed. I laughed because so many people would have had a stroke hearing that. I'm that much of an absolutist, that I wouldn't care if someone said that they loved Hitler, whether it's someone we still think is a loose cannon like Kanye, or someone going around with a poster showing a known pedophile getting thrown into a wood chipper or something.

If we don't have free speech, we have nothing.
