Left-wing critics are continuing to crash out over an American Eagle Outfitters ad campaign for their fall jean collection with actress Sydney Sweeney, deeming the ads racist and Nazi-coded.
As covered by <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-sexy-sydney-sweeney-ad-campaign-has-internet-celebrating-the-end-of-woke?author=Amanda+Prestigiacomo&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=2&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=New+Sexy+Sydney+Sweeney+Ad+Campaign+Has+Internet+Celebrating+The+End+Of+‘Woke’">The Daily Wire</a>, the ad campaign plays on the concept of good genetics and blue jeans &#8212; using the tagline, &#8220;Sydney Sweeney has good jeans.&#8221;
In one of the ads, Sweeney says, “Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color. My jeans are blue.”

An MSNBC op-ed <a href="https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinion/sydney-sweeney-american-eagle-ad-whiteness-rcna221630">said</a> the American Eagle ads were evidence of the &#8220;unbridled cultural shift toward whiteness,&#8221; which the author suggested was &#8220;ugly and startling.&#8221;
&#8220;The internet has been quick to condemn the advertisement as noninclusive at best and as overtly promoting &#8216;white supremacy&#8217; and &#8216;Nazi propaganda&#8217; at worst,&#8221; the op-ed reads, calling some of this criticism &#8220;fair.&#8221;
&#8220;These critics point to the copy and the implication of calling a white person superior because of their genes,&#8221; the piece continues, adding that the &#8220;campaign feels regressive and not retro, offensive and not cheeky.&#8221;

As news broke that a mass shooter with a high-powered rifle had opened fire on people in a skyscraper in Midtown Manhattan, CNN anchor Erin Burnett and CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller both speculated that the gunman was “possibly white,” catalyzing anger on social media.
Surveillance images quickly surfaced after the mass shooting, showing the dark-complexioned, mustachioed gunman walking into the building at 345 Park Avenue with a rifle, wearing sunglasses and dark clothes. The Daily Wire is not publishing the gunman’s name due to a company policy against contributing to the unintentional glorification of mass shooters.
“People don&#8217;t walk around with guns like that. But was his face visible? I mean, do they — they have any idea at this point who he is?” Burnett asked Miller.
“They do not know who he is,” Miller stated. “They know he is a male, possibly white. He&#8217;s wearing sunglasses. He appears to have a mustache. And that picture has been distributed to every police officer in New York City particularly, has been sent to the phones of the search teams inside that building because whenever they encounter a group of people, the first thing they have to figure out is, is that individual among these people hiding among victims or pretending to be an office worker, because one thing you don&#8217;t want to have happen is to have this kind of cordon where you&#8217;re trying to evacuate people in groups as you can get them to a safe corridor and have this person slip out with them.&#8221;
“Male, possibly white, mustache, sunglasses in that building,” Burnett repeated. Later. She repeated, “There were a few things that really stood out there among them that they did get. They do know what he looks like. Sunglasses, mustache, male, possibly white &#8230;”
Ironically, later in the broadcast Miller stated, “One of the cautions here, as you know, from having done so many of these, Erin, unfortunately, is that we always have to be mindful of the idea that between people who are watching, listening information that&#8217;s being sent over social media, that we have to be a little bit guarded on specifics.”
“You share what you can from your sources. Some of it obviously, you must protect,” Burnett stated.
Social media slammed Burnett. One post stated, “CNN anchor Erin Burnett stated live on the air that the obviously not white man, quote, was ‘possibly white.’ Embarrassing attempt to politicize this tragedy.”

One month before the 2024 election, Burnett remained silent when her guest Democratic strategist guest, Aisha Mills, bridled, “As a black lesbian who Donald Trump doesn’t believe has genes as good as his, is he going to attempt to exterminate me?” and railed to CNN senior political commentator David Urban, “I’m not going to be lectured by some white man who doesn’t know what he’s talking about.” Urban responded, “Shame on you, Aisha,” prompting Burnett to state, “Let me just say I appreciate — OK, I appreciate both of you, I know it&#8217;s obviously getting heated. I think — I think what people appreciate about both of you is you mean what you say and you say what you mean. You&#8217;re both very genuine people.”

Topline: President Trump announced on Monday that he is shortening the deadline for Russian President Vladimir Putin to agree to a ceasefire in Ukraine, while also taking the rare step of publicly disagreeing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the humanitarian situation in Gaza. 
After a string of successfully brokered ceasefires around the globe, President Trump’s patience with Vladimir Putin over the war in Ukraine appears to be waning. On Monday, Trump announced he was shortening his previous 50-day deadline for Russia to agree to a peace deal.
“I’m gonna make a new deadline of about 10 or 12 days from today,” Trump <a href="https://x.com/HarrisonKrank/status/1949820788082692176">said</a>. “There’s no reason in waiting.” He also took direct shots at the Russian leader, saying, &#8220;I’m not so interested in talking anymore. We have such nice conversations &#8230; and then people die the following night with a missile going into a town.”
If Putin fails to meet the new deadline, the U.S. could increase military aid to NATO or impose crippling 100% tariffs on Russia and secondary tariffs on any country that trades with them. 
In another major foreign policy development, the president broke with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu on the issue of starvation in Gaza. When asked if he agreed with Netanyahu’s claim that there is “no starvation” in Gaza, Trump <a href="https://x.com/HarrisonKrank/status/1949820788082692176">responded</a>, “I don’t know. Based on television, not particularly. Those children look very hungry&#8230;” He added that the U.S. would work with European allies to set up food distribution centers in the region. 
These moves come as a new poll from The Wall Street Journal found that voters trust the GOP over Democrats on foreign policy by an 8-point margin.

Topline: A graphic video of a brutal street beating in downtown Cincinnati has gone viral, sparking widespread outrage and a national conversation about media bias and the reality of violent crime in America. 
The video, captured Saturday during the Cincinnati Music Festival, shows a man being thrown to the ground and beaten by a group of what appear to be mostly black men. A woman who steps in to protect the man is then sucker-punched in the face, falls to the concrete, and appears to lose consciousness. No police were visible during the two-and-a-half-minute clip, a fact the local Fraternal Order of Police president highlighted while condemning witnesses for recording instead of calling 911. 
The video drew immediate condemnation from prominent conservatives. Vice President JD Vance said, &#8220;We have got to make great American cities safe again for families and children.&#8221; The lack of coverage from most national media outlets on Sunday was noted by Elon Musk and others. 
Author Heather Mac Donald told Morning Wire that the media’s relative silence is due to racial dynamics. &#8220;The only black lives they care about are those extremely rare instances where a white police officer has taken the life of a black person,&#8221; she said. Mac Donald argued that the media’s narrative ignores the reality of violent crime, citing a National Academy of Sciences report showing that &#8220;blacks commit violent crime against whites at 35 times the rate at which whites commit violent crime against blacks.&#8221; The DOJ&#8217;s Civil Rights Division, headed by Harmeet Dhillon, stated that &#8220;where race is a motivation, federal law may apply.&#8221; 
<h2>Trump Signs Order To ‘Save College Sports’</h2>
<div class="image"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-large wp-image-953419" src="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-1024x576.jpg" alt="" width="1024" height="576" srcset="https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-300x169.jpg 300w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-768x432.jpg 768w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://dw-wp-production.imgix.net/2025/07/MRN-7.29.25-Tue-Seg-Head-3.jpg 1920w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px" /></div>
Topline: President Trump has signed an executive order aimed at creating federal guardrails for the new landscape of college athletics, particularly regarding Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) payments to athletes. 
In recent years, court rulings and the House v. NCAA settlement have allowed student-athletes to profit from NIL deals and revenue sharing, creating what many call an unsustainable &#8220;wild, wild west&#8221; in college sports. President Trump’s executive order attempts to bring order by prohibiting &#8220;third-party, pay-for-play payments,&#8221; a reference to donor-funded &#8220;collectives&#8221; that have sprung up to pay athletes. The order allows for &#8220;legitimate, fair-market-value compensation&#8221; for endorsements, but as Crain &amp; Company&#8217;s David Cone told Morning Wire, defining and enforcing &#8220;fair-market-value&#8221; remains a subjective and significant challenge. 
Critics of the order, including an attorney for the plaintiffs in the NCAA settlement, accuse Trump of &#8220;aiding the NCAA at the expense of athletes.&#8221; The order also seeks to protect women&#8217;s and non-revenue sports. With athletic departments now facing the high cost of paying football and basketball players, these other programs are at risk of being cut. The executive order states these sports are vital for &#8220;developing world-class athletes&#8221; and serving as a pipeline to the Olympics.

Ana Navarro dismissed a fellow CNN panelist&#8217;s opinion because he was a &#8220;white man,&#8221; and then immediately attempted to claim that it wasn&#8217;t racist at all when he interrupted her to point out what she had done.
The panel discussion, which occurred during Monday&#8217;s broadcast of &#8220;NewsNight&#8221; with host Abby Phillip, began to disintegrate sometime after conservative commentator Brad Polumbo suggested that Ana Navarro was being &#8220;hyperbolic&#8221; when she claimed that President Donald Trump&#8217;s second term was a &#8220;reign of terror.&#8221;

&#8220;Also, I want to respond to you saying that I was hyperbolic when I talked about a reign of terror,&#8221; Navarro began.
&#8220;Because that is hyperbolic,&#8221; Polumbo asserted.
&#8220;It might be hyperbolic for you as a white man, it’s certainly not hyperbolic for me as a Latino,&#8221; Navarro replied.
&#8220;Oh, okay, so we&#8217;re being racist now,&#8221; Polumbo&#8217;s reaction was immediate.
&#8220;No, I&#8217;m not being racist,&#8221; Navarro insisted.
&#8220;To dismiss my opinion for being a white man is racist,&#8221; Polumbo interjected.
&#8220;I&#8217;m not dismissing your opinion,&#8221; Navarro attempted to regain her footing. &#8220;I&#8217;m telling you that what the Latino community, the brown community, in America — a lot of them disagree with you.&#8221;
Polumbo pointed out that the Latino community was not a monolith, prompting Navarro to ask whether he thought she was insulting him when she identified him as a &#8220;white man.&#8221;
&#8220;When you invoke it to dismiss my opinion,&#8221; Polumbo pushed back.
Host Abby Phillip jumped in then, running to Navarro&#8217;s defense as she &#8220;hit pause&#8221; on the discussion. &#8220;I just want to make a point that, Brad, all she&#8217;s saying is that her view of the situation is different from yours. I don&#8217;t think that&#8217;s an insult.&#8221;

&#8220;We have always had a wide variety of entertainment options and for the last several years we have communicated our expectations about guest behavior,” he continued.

The rules included a stricter drug policy. “Marijuana, including cannabis and its derivatives, and other illegal substances, are unlawful and strictly prohibited on board,” a letter noting all the rules says. “Smoking of any kind in undesignated areas such as staterooms and balconies is strictly prohibited.”
Guests under the age of 17 must stay out of public areas after 1 a.m. unless accompanied by an adult. The new rules also say that certain handheld fans are also prohibited due to the loud “clack” sound. These fans are used as part of a viral dance trend, but now Carnival says for the safety and comfort of other guests, they’re no longer allowed.
The letter also prohibits portable speakers from being used without headphones. There is also a 15-drink maximum in a 24-hour period.
Several social media users have reacted with accusations of racism, saying that Carnival is trying to discourage black vacationers from their cruise ships by coming up with rules specifically targeting their actions, per <a href="https://www.theroot.com/carnivals-new-rules-got-black-folks-i-all-i-in-their-2000048264">The Root</a>. 
One person on TikTok replied by saying, “Carnival does not have to worry about me,” noting how she cancelled her reservation following the new rules being posted. “We got the message loud and clear, we are not your demographic anymore&#8230; Carnival decided they wanted to rebrand.”
&#8220;Why would you not want people to be able to bring speakers to listen to their own music?&#8221; another woman said in a TikTok which included the caption, &#8220;Carnival Cruise Line does not like colored people.&#8221;
&#8220;Y&#8217;all got some nerve,&#8221; she added. &#8220;Because y&#8217;all are mad dirty, y&#8217;all are mad cheap, y&#8217;all mad ghetto. Every time I see a video of Carnival, the stairways is all rusty, y&#8217;all got a whole documentary about how y&#8217;all ships be catching on fire and sh** mixed with piss all on the walls, all on the floors, and y&#8217;all got beef with rap music.&#8221;
Other commenters defended the changes, however. 
“Y’all have to learn how to act… I’m not gone lie.. y’all really made the value go down. I’m not mad at it.” 
“I’ve never seen a carnival cruise video on social media that makes me want to go. It’s like the Walmart of cruise lines,” another person said. 
“It’s not racism but certain stuff becomes a liability after a while,” another commenter agreed.
“Carnival got tired of being the Section 8 of the Sea,” echoed another.
There are also unconfirmed <a href="https://x.com/1antondaniels/status/1939858997223571881">claims</a> that Carnival has banned rap music from the clubs on their ships, which a rep for the company declined. 
“Our DJs play a wide variety of music, including hip-hop,” a rep told <a href="https://www.dailydot.com/culture/carnival-cruise-canceled-new-rules/">The Daily Dot</a>.

Whoopi Goldberg took a wave of backlash after she used her platform on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; to claim that black Americans — even in the year 2025 — were no better off than Iranian citizens living under the brutal and oppressive Islamist government.
Goldberg and cohost Alyssa Farah Griffin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-view-goes-sideways-when-two-cohosts-claim-black-americans-are-worse-off-than-iranians">squared off</a> on the topic during Wednesday&#8217;s broadcast, when Griffin correctly pointed out the fact that an Iranian woman would likely be arrested — or worse — for stepping foot outside wearing even the relatively modest outfit she had on at the time. &#8220;I can’t have my hair showing, I can’t wear a skirt, I can’t have my arms out,&#8221; she said.
Goldberg apparently objected to the idea that Iranians were more oppressed than black Americans, and said, &#8220;Listen, here’s the thing — let’s not do the — let’s not do that, because if we start with that, we have been known in this country to tie gay folks to the car.&#8221;
“I’m sorry, but where the Iranian regime is today is nothing compared to the United States,” Griffin interjected, again correctly.
&#8220;They used to just keep hanging black people!&#8221; Goldberg exclaimed, and continued to press the point.
But much like their reaction when Goldberg claimed that the Holocaust was &#8220;not about race,&#8221; critics quickly made it clear that they were not buying her assertions.
Guy Benson drove the point home during an appearance on Fox News&#8217; &#8220;America&#8217;s Newsroom,&#8221; saying at first, &#8220;I call that show a daily national televised insane asylum for a reason.&#8221;

&#8220;It&#8217;s hard to overstate the moral idiocy of what we just heard there,&#8221; he said, marking Goldberg as the prime source of that. &#8220;Alyssa Farah is making the point correctly about how people are subjugated brutally by the Iranian regime and Whoopi&#8217;s like, &#8216;Oh, look at what we do here in the U.S. There are hate crimes here.'&#8221;
&#8220;Our government prosecutes hate crimes,&#8221; Benson added. &#8220;They don&#8217;t commit them as a matter of course. For her to say, &#8216;Oh, well, if you&#8217;re black in the United States in 2025, it&#8217;s basically the same as being a dissident or anyone in Iran, that is deeply, deeply ignorant.&#8221;

Social media erupted this weekend over an alleged racial comment WNBA player Brittney Griner made about opponent Caitlin Clark, who is white.
Unconfirmed reports floated on X and Instagram highlighting video of Griner after she fouled out of Friday&#8217;s game against the Indian Fever, the team Clark plays for. Griner&#8217;s alleged to have made a comment about Clark and the referee being &#8220;f***ing white girls.&#8221;
&#8220;Brittney Griner, whom Biden traded for the Merchant of Death, called Caitlin Clark and the white female ref: &#8216;Trash, f***ing white girls&#8217; after getting fouled out,&#8221; Outkick reporter Bobby Burack posted, captioning video of the alleged incident.

As highlighted by Burack, Griner was released from a Russian jail after former President Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/wnba-star-brittney-griner-freed-from-russian-prison-in-swap-for-arms-dealer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">swapped</a> Griner for a notorious Russian arms dealer named Viktor Bout, dubbed the &#8220;Merchant of Death.&#8221; The controversial swap has only added to the recent politically-charged alleged incident.

Comments online say a full-blown investigation would have been launched if the alleged racial comment was made against a black player. Others stood up for Clark and suggested some in the WNBA are jealous of her success.
&#8220;Holy s*** this is getting ridiculous,&#8221; one comment liked by hundreds of people reads. &#8220;[Caitlin Clark] is the WNBA&#8217;s generational player that is finally going to put this league on the map and these women can&#8217;t get over their petty jealousy and enjoy the fruits about to come their way.&#8221;

Notably, Griner seemed to complain about Clark bringing in new fans to the WNBA last year, suggesting some of them are racist.
&#8220;I don’t appreciate the new fans that sit there and yell racial slurs at myself, my teammates, and the people that I play against because, yeah, those are my best opponents but those are friends too,&#8221; Griner said at the time.

President Donald Trump defended Afrikaner farmers during an Oval Office meeting today with South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, playing a video of alleged incitements to violence after Ramaphosa rejected claims of a white genocide.
The video included a clip of Julius Malema, a member of South Africa’s National Assembly, singing “Kill the Boer” at a political rally, a reference to Afrikaners.
While the video played, Ramaphosa looked away from the screen, visibly uncomfortable, while Trump looked straight on.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
The video also included footage of what Trump claimed was the gravesite of 1,000 Afrikaner farmers.
Ramaphosa said he had never seen the site but “would like to know where that is.”
Trump also held up articles that he said showed proof of the genocide against Afrikaners.

“I don’t know how it can get any worse,” Trump said.
Ramaphosa responded to Trump, raising concerns about the “Kill the Boer” chant, claiming that it was said by a minority party and was not representative of the government.
“When they take the land, they kill the white farmer, and when they kill the white farmer, nothing happens to them,” Trump said.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Ramaphosa responded, claiming that black people are also killed by criminals in the country.
“The farmers are not black,” Trump said. “The people that are being killed in large numbers, and you saw those grave sites and those are people that loved ones are going on a Sunday morning they told me to pay their respects to their loved ones that were killed. Their heads chopped off. They died violently.”
Ramaphosa, being diplomatic, asked to discuss the “criminality” issues in South Africa outside of the media and encouraged American partnership in addressing them.

The meeting comes amid controversy over the Trump administration welcoming Afrikaner refugees to the United States, alleging they are the victims of a race-based genocide. 
Tensions between the two countries have increased following the passage of South Africa’s Expropriation Act, which allows the South African government to confiscate land without compensation.

Trump issued an executive order in February saying the act ignored citizens’ rights and enabled the government to “seize ethnic minority Afrikaners’ agricultural property without compensation.” The directive cut aid or assistance to South Africa and declared that the United States would promote resettling Afrikaner refugees.
Ramaphosa denied that Afrikaner land is being taken away during the meeting. He pointed to his South African Agriculture Minister, John Steenhuisen, who is white, and claimed that the majority of white farmers want to stay. 
Steenhuisen said he joined Ramaphosa’s coalition government as an opposition party to keep the anti-white politicians out of power in South Africa.
“Why wouldn’t you arrest that man?” Trump asked, pointing out that Malema was inciting violence by calling for white people to be killed.

The Trump administration accepted 59 farmers who arrived in the United States on a chartered flight earlier this month through an expedited program. Democrats <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/rubio-says-dem-senator-only-opposes-afrikaner-refugees-because-of-their-race">have denied</a> that Afrikaners are being persecuted for their race and have criticized the Trump administration for resettling the refugees in the United States.
Trump pushed back on those criticisms last week, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/trump-rips-critics-of-south-african-refugee-policy-its-a-terrible-thing-thats-taking-place?author=Tim+Pearce&amp;category=News&amp;elementPosition=undefined&amp;row=0&amp;rowType=Vertical+List&amp;title=Trump+Rips+Critics+Of+South+African+Refugee+Policy%3A+%E2%80%98It%E2%80%99s+A+Terrible+Thing+That%E2%80%99s+Taking+Place%E2%80%99">saying</a> the refugees “happen to be white, but whether they’re white or black makes no difference to me.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio doubled down on the Trump administration’s belief that Afrikaners are being persecuted during a Senate hearing on Wednesday.
“These are people whose farms were burned down and they were killed because of the color of their skin,” Rubio said in a heated exchange with Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA).
Rubio added that the farmers qualify for refugee status because they “live in a country where farms are taken and land is taken on a racial basis.”

Opinion

The hosts of ABC&#8217;s &#8220;The View&#8221; joined a number of other media personalities in claiming that President Donald Trump was only allowing 59 Afrikaners to claim <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/spare-me-scott-jennings-scorches-dems-for-sudden-about-face-on-refugees" target="_blank" rel="noopener">refugee status</a> because they are white — while also claiming that because the Afrikaners are white, they are not &#8220;truly refugees.&#8221;
Sunny Hostin addressed the issue during Thursday&#8217;s broadcast, complaining that the Trump administration had limited refugee status for Afghans and Haitians, to whom she referred as &#8220;truly refugees.&#8221; Hostin also took a swing at Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, saying she found it to be an &#8220;insult&#8221; that the former South Dakota Governor holds that position.

&#8220;For me, you know, I think one thing — having Kristi Noem be in charge of Homeland Security, in and of itself, is an insult, it&#8217;s just an insult,&#8221; Hostin began. &#8220;And I think something that we&#8217;re not talking about — enough about — is what Donald Trump did on Monday: the Trump administration allowed in 59 white South African refugees into this country, claiming that they were fleeing racial discrimination and land appropriation.&#8221;
Hostin went on to claim that South African President Cyril Ramaphosa had disputed reports of land appropriation and racially motivated discrimination — despite the fact that Ramaphosa himself signed a bill into law in late January that allows the government to expropriate private property for reasons up to and including &#8220;to promote inclusivity and access to natural resources.&#8221;
The Afrikaners, according to Hostin, did not qualify as refugees. Instead, she referenced refugees from Afghanistan and falsely claimed that the program in place to grant protected status to Afghans &#8220;who helped us&#8221; during the war had been ended. In fact, the <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/afghans-deportation-protections-ending/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">suspended</a> Afghan Temporary Protected Status (TPS) program is entirely separate from the more permanent Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program exclusively for Afghans who were allies during the war.
&#8220;And so the fact that Afghan refugees — people who helped us during the Afghanistan war — who helped us and protected our troops, that program has been dismissed. The fact that Haitians that are truly refugees, they have been denied protected status.&#8221;
&#8220;They&#8217;re not white people. That&#8217;s why they don&#8217;t want them here,&#8221; cohost Joy Behar suggested.
&#8220;She said it, I didn&#8217;t,&#8221; Hostin agreed.

I want to define cancel culture because I think people are equating many different things that are not cancel culture.
If you cancel or criticize someone, for example, that is not a legal ban on their behavior; that is social ostracization; sanction for behavior or opinion. Not legal sanction, not banning people, not trying to jail people, just people not wanting to hang out with you.
Cancellation can range from people criticizing you to people wanting to not hang out with you, to people firing you, to people deciding no one can hire you. It’s a whole range of activity.
There are basically three generalized perspectives on cancel culture. 
One: Any violation of any taboo ought to be treated with the harshest possible measure of cancellation, ruining people&#8217;s lives for any level of rhetorical transgression. 
Two: No one should ever be canceled for any reason. So no criticism, no social ostracization, no calling out, nothing. You can say whatever you want and there will be no consequences.
Three: the more moderate, complex and true perspective, which is that some behaviors or opinions are genuinely disgusting and should receive social sanction and other behavior should not. The level of forgiveness and social sanction ought to vary, because you might be talking about whether you want to have dinner with somebody or you might be talking about whether someone should be able to hold a job — which is much, much harsher — or you might be talking about whether or not you want somebody in your school.
The problem with the first perspective is that it is censorious. It prevents useful conversations from happening. It&#8217;s unforgiving, it&#8217;s uncharitable. For roughly 20 years in this country we saw people being canceled, socially ostracized, losing jobs, losing career opportunities, or being destroyed for correct opinions such as “Men are not women” or for saying a word in Mandarin that sounded like the N-word. Social media mobs were activated in order to destroy people who violated any taboo. The lines were bright, and if you crossed the line, you were destroyed.
<h3><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/bss-ep-2194-member-exclusive?elementPosition=2&amp;row=2&amp;rowHeadline=Latest+Episodes&amp;rowType=Horizontal+Show+Episodes+Carousel" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h3>
This led to a reactionary response, which moved to perspective number two, that cancellation should never happen. No criticism, no social sanction, that criticism is never, ever the answer, which is where we are now.
The problem with this perspective is that if there is never any social sanction or criticism or ostracization for bad behavior or terrible opinion, that&#8217;s moral relativism, in which the ugliest opinions and expressions are supposed to be given equal credibility with decent or even controversial but useful opinions.
The real answer in a normal society would be number three: Sometimes people deserve the social consequences for what they do. Not always, but sometimes. And the social consequences can vary. They aren&#8217;t irrevocable. In certain circumstances, forgiveness could be possible.
For example, in the normal world, you don&#8217;t have a duty as a business owner to hire or to have dinner with someone who shouts the N-word at children or who says that white people are colonizers and evil.
But in that normal world, it would be a bad thing to do to post that person&#8217;s address online so people can go to their house and harass them.
In the real world, you have every right to avoid buying a Bud Light because the company claimed that men can be women. Or you don&#8217;t want to engage with a company that says the police are systemically racist.
But you also shouldn&#8217;t go to the home of the CEO and threaten to burn down his house.
The informal standards of the social fabric used to work well because most issues remained personal. But social media has made everything worse because now there&#8217;s always a mob waiting to form.
That’s all social media is: a mob waiting to form around an issue, just like white blood cells in your immune system waiting for something to attack.
Mobs form to destroy people. And so we are all forced to decide on the spot whether we think a person is bad or good, hero or villain, deserving of shame or support.
The biggest issue is that we have lost the boundaries of what is informal or acceptable debate. We&#8217;re descending into a world of either total cancellation for everyone with whom we disagree or total support for bad behavior in order to fight total cancellation.
Here’s the point: these two perspectives are mutually reinforcing. The moral relativism of “There should be no social consequences or criticism for anything” leads people who don&#8217;t like the stuff that&#8217;s being said to call for more social consequences, which leads to more reactionary moral relativism, which leads to more social consequences, and back and forth until the end of time.
We should totally oppose obviously inappropriate cancellation; we should allow forgiveness where appropriate. People should ask for forgiveness and we should give it to them.
The bottom line is that if we are going to share a society together, a social fabric does require a more nuanced view of how we treat the things that we don&#8217;t like. And that nuanced view can&#8217;t just be “cancel everyone” or “cancel no one.”
As our common moral standards degrade, our society is going to continue to fall apart through a sort of reactionary cycling between the “cancel everyone” side and the “cancel no one” side.
Unless we find a better way to communicate.
