But I thought that “cancel culture” was anathema to the GOP and MAGA?
Is this something I’m too Canadian to understand?
Capitulating to fascists and bullies NEVER ends well…
Canceled my D+ and Hulu subscriptions and wrote in other:
“Capitulating to Trump’s version of fascist America and knee jerk reaction to Kimmel made me rethink why I should give you my money. I don’t even like or watch Kimmel, but you are allowing free speech to be violated. I don’t support free speech abolitionists.“
I cancelled mine too. Clicked other but don’t remember seeing a place to comment. Missed opportunity. Well done you, though.
Nice! Good on you! Don’t worry about not saying why, if everyone is canceling today then they probably know why. Hulu didn’t have a spot to leave a why but Disney did. 🤷♂️
Not only do I agree, but I will comment to show visible support. This isn’t about Charlie it’s free speech.
We need to start poisoning Disney brands.
Never thought I’d see the day the Mouse wore a swastika.
Are you kidding? Walt Disney was a virulent anti-semite.
That’s just fucking outrageous. Taking about lunatics.
So they’ve now gotten rid of Colbert and Kimmel, 2 of the most brutally honest guys going after trump. Interesting.
free speech absolutists
And all the cocksuckers in the comment section saying “fwee speech has conseqwences uwu” deserve to be duct taped into a porta potty and set ablaze.
Y’all should have known better than to say something so trite and fascism adjacent.
That you’re surprised it’s being weaponized against you in turn is goddamn laughable, but you wanted your dumb little slogan that tried to explain a complex topic as stupidly as possible.
Like just think for one goddamn second about how fascists are going to use the literal fucking meaning of your phrase.
What is “my phrase” of which you speak?
Think
For
One
Goddamn
Second

You
Talk
Not gonna clarify. Copy.
Maybe you should try fucking thinking about the context of this conversation.
What.
The.
Fuck.
Are.
You.
On.
About?!
More hate speech absolutists
Sooo… I’m guessing the complaints are coming from people who didn’t watch it? Because I can’t put my finger on anything that was horrible or false or anything.
My guess is that the right wing propaganda machine to hide the epstein connections, doesn’t want it shown that trump takes kirk lightly and doesn’t give a shit about his death. It’s hard to keep it going if dear leader doesn’t even care.
But the trucks…
his mocking of Trump’s grieving of that dude’s death was low and distasteful regardless, to say the least
Trump isn’t grieving Trump didn’t know who the fuck he was. His team is using it for political reasons. In what religion would Charlie be in Heaven? Ah yes the American Christian religion which doesn’t listen to anything in the Bible.
Trump’s grieving
Citation needed, home slice
trump is the lowest and most distasteful form of subhuman life on this entire fucking planet.
(Believe this may have been sarcasm?)
Fuck you.
You mean lack of grieving or you didn’t watch it.
I’m confident they were just looking for a reason after Colbert. Seth Meyers better use his last few weeks before he gets pinched to come up with a contingency plan, cus this is a fucking crackdown.
Both Taco and his cult are whiny little bitches.
This is why they got rid of him. WTF there was nothing bad I guess making daddy Trump look bad is against the law.
July 2025 Paramount/CBS agreed to pay $16 million to trump over a 60 Minutes lawsuit, then announced The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is being cancelled.
July 2025 PBS and NPR were federally defunded in a Congressional tribute to trump.
December 2024 Disney/ABC agreed to pay $15 million to trump over a defamation lawsuit, then in September 2025 cancelled Jimmy Kimmel Live.
September 2025 New York Times, Penguin Books, several authors are now being sued by trump for $15 billion because, still, that 60 Minutes segment.
Just a reminder: No Kings
Hey do you mind if we try an alternate timeline for a few days
Or, you know, however long humanity has left?
I’ve been saying that the billionaires and oligarchs — who own the majority of the S&P500 and political class — WANT fascism for the last 2 decades. They are behind it’s political resurgence, globally; most have already publicly stated things that prove they are authoritarian sociopaths (Musk, Thiel, the Koch’s, Ellison, Zuck, etc).
This explains why Trump has never seen the invite or a prison cell, despite 100 clear as day felonies, why the Dem establishment has never done more than performative resistance, etc.
They always do. When capitalism starts to falter and the public opinion starts to turn on the system the ownership class goes right to fascism to crush the population.
I’d argue that for at least half of them, capitalism is just a stepping stone to their true goals. They didn’t opportunistically become fascist; they’ve always been that way
He barely even remarked on it. He said nothing about Kirk himself.
Honestly he said more about how little Trump gave a shit about him and how much more Trump cared about his stupid ballroom
This is why the fediverse matters. Kimmel or Colbert, right now they can turn to platforms like YT and will still be able to get the voice out.
But guess what. The same corporatism that control ABC control google. You live on their platforms your message is dependent on their approval.
The future is free; the future is federated.
They can’t monetize on PeerTube, so they won’t
How we monetize might need to change. Maybe less ads, more donations? Budgets will have to go down, but that’s not so bad if the leash finally comes off.
If the fediverse was a threat then it would also be a target.
Antiwork Mod Situation 2: Electric Boogaloo
Okay, your heart is in the right place, but YT IS NOT A FEDERATED PLACE FOR FREE SPEECH.
It is owned and managed by Google and bends the knee to ANY corporate copyright holder. Putting ANYTHING on youtube as part of a “movement” is like building a castle on quicksand.
As an immediate illustration to your point apparently Reddit politics has apparently been removing this story left and right.
Out of curiosity, I went and checked the front page of r/all. Of the current top 25 posts, these are the ones which pertain to the Kimmel situation followed by their respective subreddit:
- news
- askreddit
- cringetiktoks
- technology
- nofilternews
- politics
- fauxmoi
- facepalm
- whitepeopletwitter
- popculturechat
The post on r/politics pertains to before the show was pulled, but it was posted after it was officially pulled. Some subreddits do delete repeat posts that are about the same story to keep the discussion all in one thread, so maybe that has happened with that subreddit?
I’ll try to find the one I navigated to but they kept getting closed for being “off topic”.
Also I’d argue the FCC making a threat and ABC actually pulling the guy are 2 separate stories.
I don’t think it’s some Reddit wide cabal as much as R/Politics sucking
Spez got invited to talk to Congress about radicalism on social media. I bet that has something to do with it. Steve “Bugeyes” Huffman will not turn down an opportunity to help Trump out.

Instead of shitting their pants, they should fight against the system Trump and Murdoch.
^ Kirk’s words ^
Those are paraphrases of Kirk’s words. It might be more accurate to say those are his positions.
I’ve seen this before. It would really be a lot nicer if these quotes all had sources. Just showing someone a list of quotes with no context doesn’t really scream “credible” to this target audience.
ThAt’S oUt oF cOnTeXt!!! /s
I mean it is though. I don’t see how a list of quotes with no sources is helpful.
Why were universities letting this shit bag talk to their students?
Reporter: “Mr. Krab, why were universities letting this shit bag talk to their students?”
Mr. Krab: “…MONEY.”
E: grammar
Because they are institutions that are trying to provide comprehensive discussion since the world is grey. We don’t have to like it, but that’s probably why they allow it. Plus, yes, they make money.
While they’re at it, they should have an astrologist come debate the statistics professor.
That’s not why a conservative college in Utah does it
Especially since he never attended any college or had any education after high school.
Cause they agree with him?? Cause he paid them to be there? Who the fuck knows.
The Republic has fallen. The fascists have won.
Y’all ain’t even fight yet, what’s this loser talk about?
Laying down and giving up.
They aren’t going to buy design. 2025 wants it to be bloodless and looks like it well be.
Listen to the martial aid with intestinal fortitude!
I just cancelled my Hulu account this sucks, my daughter loves volleyball and I’m a football fan
Perhaps sail the seas and look at some IPTV options
Well what are the remarks? What a shit article. It’s barely longer than a sentence.
"We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it,”
https://www.msnbc.com/top-stories/latest/jimmy-kimmel-pulled-abc-charlie-kirk-nexstar-rcna232036
Also, every headline I’ve seen portrays it as a comment on Kirk or on the shooting. But it’s entirely about the MAGA reaction.
Yeah all the articles are trying to leave out the actual remarks because there isn’t anything bad about what he said. Maga just didn’t like it.
Thank you.
They’re just getting started. Colbert was fired as a demand to allow the sale of CBS’ to Larry Ellison, 2nd richest man, and a vicious MAGA. With Colbert out, the decks were cleared for the sale.
CBS used to have the reputation of being the gold standard of broadcast news. Now it’s just going to be one more mouthpiece in the Conservative Propaganda Machine.
I knew Trump was coming for Kimmel eventually. How long until American television is all pro-trump propaganda?
Never. Have you even Democracy Now?
