These days, whenever someone criticizes anything or anyone, even things that everyone used to agree was awful such as life-threatening diseases or poverty, the rich and famous cold-heartedly mutter, “haters gonna hate” and go about their business. Apart from this being the most painfully redundant statement ever made by the rich and famous, it is also extremely hypocritical because the rich and famous are some of the biggest damn haters on the planet. Celebrities and politicians argue with each other on social media all the time, but they also demand respect from perfect strangers on social media as well. Much of this anti-cancel culture nonsense is just a bunch of bullies complaining about not being able to bully others any longer. But if you fight back against their bullying then you are the aggressor. A perfect example is the mass banning of Occupy Wall Street Twitter accounts by everyone’s favorite pretend liberal Jack Dorsey. In 2018 Dorsey suspended several Occupy Wall Street accounts with no explanation. Twitter claimed it was trying to clean up accounts associated with Trump, but instead wiped out eighty accounts (with a combined 5 million followers) that were created as early as 2012, long before Trump came on the scene. Dorsey has flip flopped on cancel culture repeatedly, one minute championing internet free speech and the next banning accounts at will because, well…he can. It’s not enough that Dorsey controls a successful company, he has to wipe out your tweets if you disagree with him too. Sounds like a sore winner to me. Many people who are successful are like this. They get in their heads that the things they say are the best because they have done well for themselves. There are all kinds of musicians doing this all the time. Just look at a list of these songs, all by rich people, basically bragging to their old friends about how awesome they are for having some dumb corporation buy their songs: "Gives You Hell" by The American Rejects, "What Goes Around Comes Around" by Justin Timberlake, "How Do You Like Me Now?" by Toby Keith, "Haters" by Hilary Duff, "Don't You Just Hate Those People?" by Jennette Mcurdy, "H.A.T.E.U" by Mariah Carey, "Jealous" by Nick Jonas (seriously though, no one is jealous of Nick Jonas), and "Bad Blood" by Taylor Swift. The irony of all of these songs is that they are decrying bullying while at the same time bullying the people who bullied them. I mean think about it. All of these people are now worth millions of dollars, they all live in mansions, they all have health insurance, the eat the best food, wear the best clothes, and hobnob with kings and queens. Haven't they taken over the role of bully now? They are making money by shit talking about their old friends on national television in front of millions of their adoring fans for crying out loud! Is that really brave? Is that what you call courage? Talking shit when you know you have millions of fans who will back you up regardless of how crazy you sound? Is that what we are now calling "gansta"? Is that really hood? Now anything anyone else has to add is “cancel culture”. Jerry Seinfeld has bemoaned cancel culture perhaps louder than anyone else. But he has also done a lot of canceling of his own. The comedian ran to the defense of his friend Michael Richards after Richards said “nigger” about 100 times, but he certainly was not about to defend Bobcat Goldthwait’s opinions. Seinfeld went as far as to trash talk Goldthwait on his show “Comedians With Coffee in Cars”, stating that Bobcat was a “loser” and “not funny”. All of this because Bobcat told a joke about Seinfeld sleeping with a teenager, which is true by the way, a few decades back. Yeah, it’s true that haters gonna hate, but a lot of times y’all don’t realize that the biggest haters have hit sitcoms or TV specials. What those people are really communicating to us is that only the rich and famous deserve the luxury of free speech. Bunch of sore winners if you ask me.
