You've been targeted by cancel culture. - What will you do?

Thankfully, my boss trusts me, is a personal friend of mine, and shares my worldview.

But I would just say "no comment". I don't answer to these fuckwits. They have no legal authority or power over me (yet).

Meh, it's happened to me. I'm self employed and have no real need to work much at this point in life so they can suck my cock. Then I go after them personally, doxx them and their families, and generally make their lives hell as much as I can without breaking the law, but coming VERY close to it. You bring it to their (literal) doorstep.
 
Theres only one way to deal with internet trolls: scorched earth policy. No matter how innocuous they are in reality, imma douse myself in lighter fluid and light it up while doing a mad dash doing bear hugs and backflips.

Joke's on you. You can't cancel me, I don't have a job! I change nothing. I continue shitposting.

I would say that the most effective move is to make moves before you get in the crosshairs. All social media sites are fucking shit, and offer nothing but pure human soul cancer.

Delete everything, and if you must use Twitter or facebook for work related reasons, treat it like a professional page and only hock your shit and nothing else. Operate like a corp, never a human. That way there is little chance you will become a target in the first place.

If you do get caught because you are too stupid to see that twitter is a place for insane people to attack each other, I would say ignore it. If it blows up in a huge way, go out like a champ and go nuclear. Even those that bend down and pry for forgiveness end up the same as those that fight back, so you may as well keep your pride. Plus people tend to like people who defend themselves against the horde, so you might get a few winks on your way out. You will be better off social media anyway, it offers nothing good, its a fake interaction. I liken it to eating plastic fruit, it looks like the real thing but its hollow and provides nothing the human needs. If it was real connections, then we wouldn't have an epidemic of loneliness would we, and the lock down would have been great, seeing as so many of us are "connected". You need real friends, and to actually visit and talk with your family, not chat with some tranny help groups on reddit.

Double Down and reign supreme in the inevitable downfall of cancel culture
 
What pretty much everyone says, really. It could get nasty and quite unpleasant because getting doxxed, making it to the news and having your friends and family info plastered online with slander would be quite annoying and you'd want to bash their heads in, but stay firm.

Never capitulate, don't give them an inch. That's basically what the Greek stoic chads would have done back in the day. And they were in much more serious situations than being doxxed.
The odds are looking bad. They are asking you to compromise. They want you to betray what you believe in. It would be so easy to take your buyout and leave the mess to the people who come after you. Concede. Roll over. Give up. Beg to be spared.

Ha! The Stoic says no. Cato not only refused to surrender to Caesar as he fought to preserve the Roman Republic, he demanded that no one ask for mercy or clemency on his behalf. Because that would mean he had lost—that he had been conquered, and that was not the case.

The Medal of Honor commendation for James Stockdale reveals the same kind of defiance and determination, explaining that he “deliberately inflicted a near-mortal wound to his person in order to convince his captors of his willingness to give up his life rather than capitulate." There is a story about Epictetus, under torture by his master who expected him to beg him to stop, calmly warning him over and over again that his leg was about to break. Finally, it snapped. “What did I tell you?” he said.

A Stoic burns the boats behind them. A Stoic burns the white flag—they won’t need it because a Stoic doesn’t surrender. A Stoic doesn’t care if it hurts. They won’t quit. They can’t be made to quit. Not when duty or honor dictates otherwise. Yeah they may suffer for this, but that’s okay. “Stoics belittle physical harm, but this is not braggadocio," Stockdale would later write. "They are speaking of it in comparison to the devastating agony of shame they fancied good men generating when they knew in their hearts that they had failed to do their duty vis-à-vis their fellow men or God."

You must not surrender. You must not quit. You must not ask for special treatment. You are strong enough to last. You have too much fight to go meekly into the night. Hang on. You can do this.

Burn the white flag, fuck' em.

And also, despite how ugly it might get, never let them see you bleed.

Everythings going great. Your career is stable, your social circle is tight and cool, maybe you got a bangin' wife or husband as well.

Suddenly, you say something uncouth or something you wrote a decade ago when you're a teen is unearthed and suddenly troons, loons and leg beards come out of the wood work and create their cute little hashtag to try and cancel you.

So far though, it's just a small minority but what do you do before it somehow hypothetically explodes?

This is something that crosses my mind a lot whenever I see peoples careers derailed over nothing. I've said my fair share of stupid and regretable shit in the 20 some years of using the internet, but to these zombies it doesn't matter if you were a dumb edgelord 12 year old and has since matured because they're emotionally and mentally stunted people who can't fathom that people change.

So the question is, if cancel culture is coming for you, what would you do? The sin you commited was maybe you dropped the n-bomb on twitter in 2009 despite being a pastey white dork or made a joke at the expense of another group. Mundane shit. Kevin Spacey's need not apply.

Personally, I figured I'd either

a.) Ignore it rather than say anything, especially if it's a nothing burger. Giving the issue and the mob attention would just give them that sweet endorphine rush they crave so better to starve them off for two weeks until they move on to the next shiney object.

or

b.) acknowledge it but don't apologize. I'd resort to this if something did gain attention and it had to be acknowledged. Example: "Yup, I said 'stop being jewish' back on a obscure forum in 2003. Oh well, that was dumb, life goes on."

I do find this one tough though, especially if you're a nice person. To any rational human being, if someone once acted a jackass manned up and admitted they were being a jackass and felt bad, then usually it'd be water under the bridge. Unfortunately, saying sorry now a days seems to give cancel warriors carte blanch to try and run your life.

They only really have power over you if you try to apologize. The best answer to these cancel culture cunts is to nut up and tell them, in no uncertain terms, to fuck off. No matter what.

If all they're going to do is sperg screen, ignore them.

Also, as someone above pointed out, if I get fired, I'm raising a stink. I'm not only going for unemployment, imma get ahold of every right wing media outlet and Youtuber there is and set the algorithms on fire.

If all they're doing is whining, then I'll ignore them. If they start fucking with my private life, then as Bugs Bunny said, "As you know, this means war."
