Can someone point to me precisely WHEN it became acceptable to target a disliked person's livelihood and income rather than just slagging them off in the press or complaining or whatever?

I understand the mechanism and the motivation perfectly but I just want to identify the exact inflection point where it became first; acceptable; and then normal to do this.

I suspect the creation of hive minds on the internet such as reddit and xitter were big parts, but the question remains as to why the rules of engagement changed to be so nasty - and why this wasn't the done thing in the era of more benign social media such as myspace

But was there a specific watershed moment that solidified it as a legitimate tactic? Earliest examples welcome

Thanks anons it's for my TED Talk

The 90s when they created the advertiser ban list with Howard Stern, Rush Limbaugh, etc.
David Allen Coe was cancelled in the 70s for racism and Jerry Lee in the 60s for marrying his underage cousin, but those were one off exceptions

>Holy checked, utterly BLESSED thread

It's interesting you both go back this far - I was not expecting that. I do think "cancellings" were much more compartmentalised back then though, due to the limited reach of mass media

Did everyone read? Did everyone read the newspaper?

Surely there might be a few, and they might talk a lot about it - but most people were just out there living their lives. When I say mass media, I meant social media - not news media

Didn't Revilo Oliver write about this long ago? Liberals deciding that their declared opponents were so morally repugnant there would be no debate as between fellow citizens, in effect saying they're enemies but not following through with it. South Africa? My memory is hazy. Anyway, the mentality and impulse behind cancel culture has been there for a long time, they just didn't have all the banks and media on their side.
I think Evola would have said it's just the bourgeois being eaten by the demon they released when they won against the aristocracy.

It became acceptable back in the early 2000s when conservatives were getting people cancelled for not liking the idea of bombing tye shit out of the Middle East. Bill Maher and Dan Rather straight up lost their jobs on network television over this, and the Dixie Chicks were blacklisted by country music fans and industry insiders.

I get that but I am trying to capture the precise animus that enabled the left to say "this is an acceptable tactic" because I grew up in a world (1991 b/y) where such things were considered "low" and trying to would be what got YOU cancelled and somewhere along the way it became normal to cancel anyone for anything.

Today you see people getting fired and then made unemployable for very minor indiscretions or straight up free speech.

People who were kids when they saw the Dixie Chicks getting cancelled eventually grew up and realized "We can do that, too!"

#Metoo in 2017, started strong but then went onto some tenuous perpetrators. Cancelling did get a bump and a widened focus in 2020 with BLM

im gonna say around 2016, that's when blm was making everyonr crazy, and thefirst really openly irrational movement gaining mainstream news support, then that would make ''hate speech" even more taboo.
Then theres the internet angle, as it made it possible to spread things viral and anonymously, sites like this didnt help.
Maybe, though, the very first person to 'swat' someone should have been publicly hanged?
Idk, because the overton window changes so slowly and insideously, and many cancel-type things existed before, I could even argue that its generational, i could argue its dependant on how marxist-brainwashed people are.

>>544891888
Weimar Germany was the last time we were in this part of the cycle. Cancel culture is a standard Khazar weapon.

For example, the word "retard" actually comes FROM cancel culture! It was used to get the women in the north and south mad at one another during the American civil war, when we fought to resist jewish banking. It was "totally not woke" to say 'idiot, dumb, stupid, lame,' or any other reference to a disability. Women DEMANDED that we say 'retarded' instead.

It comes and goes.

>>544893035
thats a commie tactic, they have no arguments based on logic and they constantly steal phrases and try to project their own faults on others, while simultaneously creating NLP phrases to alienate and ''other'' their target. If they debate,they'll be reduced to cyclical reasoning and name calling, everytime. Communism just means weaponized youth and useful idiots to immediately destroy a nation from within and insta-jewify.
