It's funny how that argument would've been passable in 1987, but in 2024 they would immediately be cancelled.
As it should be. Deplorable things deserve to be cancelled. That's why we have laws.
Yes but laws don't matter much if the public opinion isn't there as well. Public opinion is there now, but aparantly it used to be different in 1987
Yes, exactly. I think that's what the post is highlighting...
Is it funny?
Yes, I'm not wordsmith so "funny" will have to suffice.
Depends on the definition intended, but other adjectives could probably describe it better.
