Cancel this

This toxic era of "Cancel Culture" is little more than the proverbial schoolyard bully. That is, no amount of evasion or capitulation will ever satisfy it. It's been proven over time the best way to deter a bully is to punch back, even if it requires multiple blows.

A few weeks ago Minnesota State Sen. Scott Jensen, who is also a longtime family physician, reported an anonymous complaint was filed against him with the Minnesota State Board of Medical Practice. It had to do with Jensen's opinions on COVID-19. Since said opinions were not necessarily aligned with (or perhaps even undermined) the draconian Gov. Tim Walz administration, Jensen was accused of providing "reckless advice" when analogizing COVID with the flu. 

Instead of kowtowing, Jensen punched back (rhetorically, natch). As a result, he was cleared. 

Fighting back has also worked for Nick Buckley, a UK man and head of a renown charity, who got into hot water for daring to criticize the organization Black Lives Matter.

Upon lawyering up after being removed from his position with Mancunian Way, the charity reversed course and promptly welcomed back Buckley. I guess staring down the barrel of repudiation in a court of law was too much for MW to bare.

I can only hope these specific instances are the beginning of a trend in ending the very fascist practice of "Cancel Culture." There may be hope for Western values yet!
