Stand up to the Mob

For John, BLUF:  It is Sunday, so I am trying to get caught up.  This is about the Cancel Culture.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Bill Maher mocks social justice warriors, warns cancel culture is 'real, insane, and coming to a neighborhood near you'

Here is the sub-headline:

'Memo to social justice warriors:  When what you're doing sounds like an Onion headline, stop'

From The Blaze, by Mr Paul Sacca, 27 February 2021.

Here is the lede plus one:

On the latest episode of "Real Time with Bill Maher," the liberal talk show host warned that cancel culture is not just reserved for celebrities, but the outrage mob is also coming to punish everyday Americans and even historical figures like Abraham Lincoln.

Bill Maher began his monologue by saying, "Liberals need a Stand Your Ground law ... for cancel culture.  So that when the woke mob comes after you for some ridiculous offense, you'll stand your ground, stop apologizing.  Because I can't keep up with who's on the s*** list."

"Cancel culture is real, it's insane, it's growing exponentially, and it's coming to a neighborhood near you," he cautioned.  "If you think it's just for celebrities – no.  In an era when everyone is online, everyone is a public figure."

I think Mr Maher has said what needs to be said.
