Why the woke movement and cancel culture is so dangerous. 19:59 - Sep 23 with 19310 viewshampstead_blue

This poor chap lost everything because of woke nutcases.

He raised genuine concerns about BLM and the woke and cancel culture community swarmed all over him.

Support BLM? Dare anyone criticize the hard left and woke nutters

Those who assume, insist, and deny the truth are plain stupid. Those who assume, insist, deny the truth and tell YOU they know you (when they don't) have an IQ in the range of 35-49.

There are many on Twitter who aren't happy unless they are trying to destroy someone.

Where are they trying to disrupt the nuclear family? Is that code for supporting LGBT people?

Except, unless their website has changed, what the guy in that first article says is utter bollox. The whole premise of his issue seems to be based on a lie. Maybe the BLM website has changed, but there's none of this stuff on it now (unless I'm just missing it):

"This caught my attention and I asked myself ‘Who are BLM?’. Within seconds I was on the internet and reading their website. I was shocked. It was so radically far left that even Jeremy Corbyn would struggle to support all the aims and objectives: defund the police, overthrow capitalism and disrupt the nuclear family. It was a neo-Marxist, anarchist, political agenda. They were not hiding their aims, they were not shy about their Marxist beliefs, they put it all on their website for the world to read."

God you chat a load of crap. Woke this. Woke that. We get that you don't care, we get that BLM wanting actual change terrifies you because it means you might have to change too. Maybe you should jus confine yourself to the news comments on the Mail Online where you'll find more like-minded folk.

The whole disrupting the nuclear family thing is usually trotted out when an organisation openly supports LGBTQ rights. It's also sometimes trotted out about any organisation that is left of centre. It's more of the meaningless nonsense that far right idiots like Hampstead like to parrot.

Well, quite. Some research would have also shown that BLM is not a centralised organisation. That does mean that some parts of it are problematic but to jump from that to the bit about young people being brainwashed into thinking the country is racist was a bit of a leap. A middle aged white man isn’t the best placed person to judge that.

Should he have lost the position for it? I’m not sure he should either. Outrage hunting tends to go for low-hanging fruit rather than solving anything.

What concerns me is the fantasy land you seem to inhabit and your ability to completely ignore or dismiss anything that condradicts your world view. Combining that with your history of wishing harm on those on the left makes me think it is you who is on the path to extremism here.

One thing I haven't seen in full is the blog he wrote about BLM. Would be good to see so we can form a judgement at least on if what he wrote was inaccurate or not. Although his paragraph about the BLM website suggests it probably is.

What?
Your vision is poor. Not sure who you are talking about but it's not me.

This chap wasn't in fantasy land.
He lost everything because of quoting the BLM website and literature (as it was at the time).

6 months before his blog he was getting the MBE for his charity work.
All of that put at risk because of the utterly stupid woke and cancel mobs

Do you not find that worrying?

That article looks like it's been written by a complete simpleton.

Those who have petitioned for his removal because his views are absurd are perfectly correct.

It's really no endorsement for him that you can't see it.

What on earth is this paragraph rattling on about in The Critic article?

"Luckily for them, the UK only has a limited amount of wifi data per month and unfortunately in June 2020 we had run out of data because of constant Covid-19 internet searches. We were all waiting for July when our monthly allotment of data would be renewed so we could checkout BLM. Isn’t it always the case that you run out of data at the most inconvenient times!"

Ah, yes. I wondered where that came from. It's bound to be isn't it, as BLM say that they are a movement for all black people irrespective of gender, sexual preference, etc. That's bound to threaten the outdated views of the conservative (small 'c'), evangelical right types.

There's a lot of effort going into discrediting a movement that wants to end racism. I'm not sure spreading that effort is a particularly good look.

He's clearly a prejudiced snob, and given the inferences from what he said a bitter racist too trying to hide it.

In fairness and assuming the facts are correct, plus allowing for sympathetic writing, this link suggests he's done some good in his time: https://thecritic.co.uk/charity-boss-fired-after-criticising-black-lives-matter/

'Buckley decided to continue the work he’d done for the council [having been made redundant] by helping young people escape gang culture. He ploughed his redundancy money into the charity and for the first two years worked for free.'

Edit: you're right that he's not short on ego and self congratulation, but then again he does have to spell out his credentials in his own defence.

You have very worrying, and potentially dangerous views and seem very gullible.

You are antagonistic for the sake of it and as others have said, have openly wished harm.

You genuinely unsettle me.
