Roseanne Barr – Fired by ABC/Disney and her hit show Roseanne canceled overnight in 2018 after one tweet. Hundreds of cast and crew lost their jobs. Gina Carano – Fired from The Mandalorian in 2021 for social media posts that didn’t fit the Left’s politics. Dropped by her agency

@swamp_ist Great tweet but the cast and crew never lost their jobs as I was forced under duress to sign away my rights to keep them from losing them.

@swamp_ist "Roseanne" continued without her. Cast and crew didn't lose their jobs, dummy. The Mandalorian also went on without Carano. Another big difference: The FCC didn't make threats in either case. Nor did a sitting President.

@swamp_ist And the right correctly criticized all of those actions when they happened. And yet now, here they are, repeating the same mistakes of the past. Mark my words: this *will* be used against the right the next time the Democrats are in power. This will just continue to escalate.

@swamp_ist You’re deliberately missing the point. Which of these examples involves government pressure or the government using regulatory approvals or licensure as leverage? In other words, is Kimmel more like the Twitter files, or more like Bud Light? If you believe that the 1st

@swamp_ist You forgot the Washington Redskins. Activists infiltrated their top sponsor FedEx and pressured the company which decided to pull funding if the name wasn't changed. This erased decades of celebration of Native American heritage including a logo painted by a Native American

@swamp_ist Not a single one of yall will tell me what line he said that even pissed you off. Give me a quote

@swamp_ist The soldiers and medical professionals fired for questioning an unproven vaccine. One that never did work - at all

@swamp_ist If you’re gonna mention Mike you must mention @realtinapeters because it was his actions of putting up a video of her without her permission talking about the rigged election servers in mesa county Colorado. She’s in prison for 9yrs because the judge was afraid of what she might

@swamp_ist I don't think all those "canceled" was a matter of accountability. Some of that was simply attempts to shut up uncomfortable truths. This is entirely different than people losing their positions for celebrating or justifying murder.

@swamp_ist But in the examples you listed the FCC and a president were not involved. Trump even posted saying that he hoped he played a role in Kimmel being fired and of course he played a role. He’s incessantly, threatening people and carrying out those threats.

@swamp_ist 99% of these were uncalled for but Alex Jones is a POS with diarrhea of the mouth✌🏻

@swamp_ist I thought the show continued for several years afterwards without Roseann

@swamp_ist Chris Harrison, fired from ABC The Bachelor for suggesting grace for a young woman contestant who had, years earlier in college, attended a Southern themed costume party put on by her sorority

@swamp_ist To find out who controls you from behind the curtains, tell various jokes about very powerful people who look like they are only advisors or friends of your “leaders”. The one joke that blows up on you in the Fake News? That’s who really in charge. How many of you understand

@swamp_ist Let’s not forget

@swamp_ist Barr - Cast/crewed hired back to continue show without her Carano - Settled out of court Kelly - Got a new job Chapelle - Suffered literally no consequences Rogan - Still rich as fuck Carlson - Still doing his thing, just not on Fox Parker - Was a garbage app anyway

@swamp_ist When did the president or FCC chair request those firings and/or attempt to extort donations to those affected charities? When did they attach requirements? If you can’t see the difference, your watching a different movie

@swamp_ist Not a single one of the people you mentioned were fired after pressure from the federal government (threatening to pull the broadcast license). Employers are allowed to make such decisions. You notably didn't add the recent example of Matthew Dowd, which also was fine.

@swamp_ist You left out a sitting president getting banned off every platform

@swamp_ist Fair enough. But the right is doing the same, does that make it ok now? Watched that kimmel monologue, he should have been pulled for being unfunny instead of cancelled.

@swamp_ist Didn't Tim Allen lose his job/series because of his conservative beliefs???

@swamp_ist Which of those instances was prompted by the threat of government action?

@swamp_ist Correct. Because arguably Kimmel was saying we should leave a certain section of people to die here. But wasn't held to account because his show and channel are funded by the PharmaCos whose products they were pushing.

@swamp_ist @Devoddjj4547 Some people misunderstand what happened here. It isn’t so much about right and wrong, or the freedom of speech. It is about the business of media & entertainment. If you alienate a majority of the country, and you don’t get fired, then they’re not running it like a business,

@swamp_ist The ad boycott on Twitter once Elon bought it.

@swamp_ist None of them were fired after having the chair of the FCC threaten the media entities’ licenses or mergers. These firings happened from social pressure not government pressure.

@swamp_ist @JewelsJonesLive and @catturd2 were relegated to a gaming platform to get their podcast out and had their bank account cancelled.

@swamp_ist Can’t help but notice that none of those people were cancelled for celebrating the death of someone on the other side.

@swamp_ist “Deplatforming works and there you go. It’s important and good things come of it.” Thanks AOC for your strong support! @AOC @SenSchumer @ErinBurnett @CNN Hypocrite much?

@swamp_ist Not to mention how many people were wiped off Twitter and sent out to the wilderness as Twitter Refugees during the Great Conservative Purge. I was one.

@swamp_ist Shoot... I lost a $2.5M/yr for-profit gun rights advocacy & online retail store, 2 days after January 6th. I lost a 126K subscribed YouTube channel in 2017 w/o recourse. I lost a 250+K Instagram acct as well as all of my corporate pages/access to them on Facebook. All due to

@swamp_ist Great post. Also don't forget a sitting president of the United States was "cancelled" from social media and attached by lawfare by these rabid leftists for contesting the results of an election, even though he had already stated he would respect the decision of Congress to

@swamp_ist Not quite. None of her colleagues quit in protest. Like quislings they all moved over to “The Connors” and got on with their lives like nothing had happened.

@swamp_ist @Timcast @Sargon_of_Akkad was booted off Patreon for using a slur against far right trolls on someone else’s podcast. This was what prompted the creation of @OnLocals as a free speech alternative.

@swamp_ist @WhiskeyShores And while all this was going on We the People quit celebrating you. Emmy viewership since 1987
