I just read about a Magic artist who was outed for allegedly following and liking "alt right", "conspiracy theorists", and "anti-semetic tweets."
She tried to apologize and wait out the storm, but then a video was posted of her gifting stuff to right wingers.
Rather convenient, isn't it?
I got to thinking, who's digging up the dirt, and monitoring channels, and making videos?
I guess what I'm asking, is does cancel culture happen organically? Or is there an element of professional opportunism happening, the same way people have assassinated the competition since the beginning of careers?

"Alt-right conspiracy theorists". Given how leftists nowadays call anyone "alt-right" who doesn't share their radical leftist positions I'm skeptical that the person(s) accused of being alt-right are in fact are. If they truly did post something anti-semitic then they likely are though. Though keep in mind that anti-semitism is just as prevalent if not moreso on the far left than it is on the alt-right.

The anti-semetic tweet was a black woman who said "I really thought we could put American interests first, but its obvious the Zio-Cons are in charge right now."
As in pro-zionist's, I'd assume.
The thing is, many Democrats in general are anti-zionists.

Ah, Alex Jones.. of course. Why did I suspect that was who they were talking about? The truth is though that Alex Jones is not alt-right and he is not even remotely anti-semitic. Conspiracy theorist? Maybe, but he's not alt-right.
Jones is actually a libertarian. At least, he used to be. I think I recall him saying recently that as he's gotten older that he's become more conservative. That's the case with a lot of people though.

No, it's a minority of vocal groups/individuals that get to use social media as an applifier for their shitty and petty mssging to quell speech hiding behind a smoke screen of moral outrage to stifle free speech and now to even ruin lives.
As an example of moral outrage bereft of any clear and conscious thought, questioning BLM can get you fired in some places, it's become clear it's not about race but power dynamics:
"If you don't sign up for racism, you're a racist" ----forgotten author but not my words.
We have the case of David Shor, who tweeted out a study conducted by a black man showing riots do not cause people to come out and vote for democrats.
Mob cried and he was fired.
He's a democrat too. This is bizarre. I thought they loved science and facts and all this stuff.

If I held a professional career I'd probably be outed for all of the stupid shit I said during my early twenties and teen years. People change.
