South by Southwest, or SXSW, is a film, media, and music festival, with a conference held every year in Austin, Texas. Austin may be in Texas, but it is true Blue down deep. And in typical Liberal/Progressive fashion, they are not interested in hearing opposing points of view. After all, if you don't agree with the Progressive Democrats, you are probably a fascist. Just ask them and they will tell you that. You actually don't have to ask them, and they will tell you that.
By Rikki Schlott at the New York Post - I was canceled by trendy SXSW film festival bosses … for criticizing cancel culture
Rikki Schlott wrote a book entitled The Canceling of the American Mind: Cancel Culture Undermines Trust and Threatens Us All — But There Is a Solution. That was apparently too much for the Woke Scolds running SXSW.
An email from SXSW staff, shared with me by the panel’s organizer, reveals the festival was “hesitant to approve” my participation because my commentary has been “focused on the idea of cancel culture.”
Oh, the irony!
The hat tip for this goes to Alan Ng and Chris Gore at Film Threat, and their video NIC CAGE CALLS OUT DISNEY + SXSW CANCELS SPEAKER SPEAKING ON CANCEL CULTURE | Film Threat News. Alan Ng did attend SXSW, and he has an overview report of the festival. The bit on Nicholas Cage comes at the end of the video. The entire video is 20 minutes, but I have the section on SXSW queued up with that link.
