Cancelling stuff has become a culture. How far to go? Can we immaculate homo sapiens go too far?
Either put all the bad shit in a museum next to the sadistic Emperors of Rome, or get a million bulldozers and raze everything everyone has ever made ever, and return this planet to trees and fields and lakes and animals.
Will we cancel ourselves out of existence?
Don’t know what the F#@&! I’m talking about? Here’s a SMALL example:
Someone once told me that ever town and city name in the USA was either based on an Indigenous word, or came from a European language. Los Angeles. New Amsterdam (now New York, from the British York), Chinatown (sorry, not a real town, just part of many cities), Paris, London, Brussels, Berlin … all American towns.
So since the Americas were invaded, colonized, desecrated, butchered (whatever your word of choice), the cancellers MUST get rid of all of it without being hypocritical.
There are evil historical assholes who everyone is allowed to hate and it’s OK. There are other assholes who are seen by some as good and by others as evil. Queen Victoria (allegedly from New New York) reigned over an empire that invaded and massacred tons of people. (How are those Elgin Marbles coming along? Still trying to justify theft? The Ottoman Empire got killed in WW1.) What do you give the Queen who has everything? Cecil Rhodes gave Victoria the nation of Siam (hello, beautiful!) and all those Siamese subjects who had no choice to become her birthday present.
Before there were British, there were Celts. After them came Vikings and Normans and Angles and Saxons. All those Viking pendants and Roman walls of crumbling stone MUST be erased from the landscape.
And speaking of language … the entire English language (except for a few words) must be erased. Toboggan? Crepe? Alcohol? Ketchup? Spaghetti? Flamingo? Cartoon? Tobacco? Mammoth? Fuck? Shit? Cunt?
Bunch of foreign words, dang nabbit!
You too may be the subject of a cancel! Are you wearing anything leather? How about those shoes? Did you think of the cows? How about the Hindu worship of cows? No, you didn’t think of nuthin’ but yourself!
We live in time of Great Guilt. We must all feel bad about existing. Did you eat an egg today? Monster! Why did you take a slash and a shit when you clearly know that your toxic bodily fluids and solids will get washed into the ocean, killing whales and lobsters and scuba divers?
You make me sick … I will recycle my vomit in a natural and homeopathic method before I make my computer mine tons of Bitcoin and increase the temperature of the Earth itself by a few micro-degrees.
If you disagree with me, I will call you even worse and I won’t be happy until I’m the only sanitized person left on Earth … Earth … Earth …
… hello? Is there anybody out there?
