Cancel Culture

The dangerous idea that disagreement legitimizes attack.
Cancel Culture is on full display in the riots of 2020. The rioters are burning down cities and nothing is being done about it. Many Mayors are sympathetic to the rioters' grievances, so there is no response to the violence. In the meantime, business owners who have paid millions in taxes over the years to the government for protection are seeing their businesses destroyed.

Help Me Spock

An international movement named after a line spoken in the "The Savage Curtain" episode of Star Trek in 1966 where Vulcan character Surak repeatedly cries out "Help me Spock" from behind a rock formation.

Although having its name based on the aforementioned Star Trek episode, the Help Me Spock movement is completely undefined and has been interpreted in many ways, including getting its own song by the band Warp 11 in 2008.

The vague nature of the Help Me Spock movement may very well be the reason for its appeal to millions of followers worldwide.

gotcha gimme

When a company gives customers' personal information to the government.
Jen: What the fuck? Apparently Bank of America gave my credit card purchase records to the FBI last month!
Mike: BFD, it's just a gotcha gimme, you've got nothing to hide.
Jen: What? I feel violated. Can they really do that?
Mike: I know that AT&T gave Devin Nunes's phone records to Adam Schiff a year or so ago. Really fucked his shit up too.
Jen: It doesn't seem right that the companies can just give our personal information to the government.
Mike: You've got nothing to hide, so don't fret about it.
Jen: I don't like companies giving out my shit and I don't like the government digging through it!

BOSTIT

Based On Something That Isn't True.
Mike: White cops are killing Black men for no legitimate reason and I'm sick of it!
Jen: BOSTIT!
Mike: What the fuck is BOSTIT?
Jen: Based On Something That Isn't True. Your assertion that White cops are randomly killing Black men is BOSTIT.
Mike: Wait a second... For one thing, I'm the person in this relationship responsible for stupid ass acronyms, and...
Jen: SAA's?
Mike: Yes! And what the fuck has gotten into you? And another thing, it's been proven by statistics!
Jen: Like the Freddie Gray case?
Mike: Yeah!
Jen: Three of the six cops on that case were Black. And by the way, all of the cops were eventually acquited.
Mike: Yes but there's systemic racism in most police departments!
Jen: Another BOSTIT. Police departments strive to hire officers of color. Just look at them and you'll see.
Mike: Yes, but you can't deny that White cops killl Black men.
Jen: Well, cops are engaging in LAW ENFORCEMENT after all. Were you aware that more than ten times more White cops are killed by Black men than unarmed Black men are killed by cops?
Mike: That frazzled logic doesn't make it okay.
Jen: I never said that it did, but I just want you to think about things before you spew forth with your nonsense.
Mike: You've changed.
Jen: You haven't, but you're still my funky fucked up love interest from the West side.
Mike: Ah Baby.
