"5. Besides, disagreement is a sign of diversity. Ur-Fascism grows up and seeks for
consensus by exploiting and exacerbating the natural fear of difference. The first appeal

they already come off as that to even their supporters, to chauvinists thats why they buy the album. & again, chauvinists never cared about sanity, nor ever will. its spelled out plain as day in urfascism. if you want to give red meat to the base (or more likely tofu) it will work for that, but

Forever reminded of Eco's Urfascism & a broad reading of Sartre's Antisemite.

The left doing the cancelling was individualpeople choosing not to buy a product. That's democracy
The right doing the cancelling is censorship and crackdowns on system critics. That's fascism

Now, five years after the collapse of her public image, it might be time to revisit DeGeneres’ case. Was her cancellation a product of a fleeting era when people spoke earnestly about “safe spaces” and “microaggressions” – a time when the left, not the right, was doing the canceling?

Five years after reports of a toxic workplace on her popular talk show derailed her career, Ellen DeGeneres is living quietly in England – and weighing a comeback.
