Everyone is getting this Jimmy Kimmel thing wrong.
A) It's not cancel culture when it comes from the government. It is censorship and state repression, just like in traditional authoritarian regimes.
B) Kimmel wasn't taken off the air for crotizing Kirk. He was taken off for criticizing Trump's lack of concern for Kirk. It was a criticism of the government. This has nothing to do with "cancel culture" and everything to do with freedom of speech.
Don't let them gaslight you into thinking this is a minor chapter in the culture wars. This is so much more.
