It wasn't even canceled. His estate pulled the books themselves, 6 of them. If I find something I said earlier in life I don't agree with (extremely easy because I used to be religious and in a cult, now neither) then have I been canceled by the radical left? (I mean, I am far more left, but not sure I qualify for radical).

Weather update! It's raining rocks from outer space.
As the op points put, it's going to be used as a reporting harassment. If it requires human intervention to decide, they might have bots or automatic actions based on number of reports.
I can respect that. I'm also a minority, and I don't go around trying to be offended by every microaggression or slightly racist thing, because that would be exhausting. However, if a friend asked me not to say something around them that they find offensive, I will respect that. I don't cuss around family members who don't like it, and my friend who hates the word cunt I don't use around her (not that I use it much anyways, unless making an aussie joke or something).
As for public people, I use it along with other things they do to check a pattern of behavior. If someone says one racist joke and doesn't harp on it too much, meh. If they do it very often and double down, I know to cut em out of my life, etc.
This one is nuanced, and extremely hard to explain to some. Sometimes it's called the hard J, or can be equated to similar terms that by themselves aren't negative, such as female and even black. You may have seen people making fun of men who use females where women could be used instead. Female is fine as a description (female dog, female body, female gender) but not as a noun "I saw this female in front of me" and such.
Similarly, if you said you saw a black man, that's fine, but if you said "I saw a black", that's considered a faux pas at best, if not racist.
In like manner, the way Jew is used can be pejorative as well. If you say "he's a Jew" as an explanation of why you don't trust someone or any negative reason, or even some supposedly positive reasons, it can be considered racist (like, "Oh, he's pretty well of" followed by "He is a Jew" would be racist).
Steve Pieczenick, himself jewish, often disparaged members of the government on Alex Jones show, and sometimes he'd say "He's a Jew" as one of his list of reasons. I mentioned the hard J, and you can hear it in some people's voices. The J sound very sharp and hard, as if in disgust. I've heard racists say it with Black as well, very hard Bl sound, but it's hard to write down in words.
Maybe, but it does say "Trump loving", not Trump voting. I acknowledge and don't hold too hard a grudge on people who don't pay much attention and only vote on stuff they think will affect them. I still consider it selfish, but I will acknowledge some people have enough issues in their life to not realize how bad it could affect others.
For instance, one of my sisters friends voted for Trump in 2016 because she is a small business owner and thought he would be better for her business. I don't know how she has voted since, and she's a black mother in FL, so I hope she's changed her mind.
Still, I have seen people make excuses for themselves that they have to be responsible for their employees as well etc etc, so someone with a not hateful mindset may make a decision those of us more informed or plugged into may realize is much worse for them either way.
Edit, forgot my original point. The above included I don't think would be considered "Trump loving", so I think by that statement she's saying he loves more than just a policy or two.
I still replay those and enjoy them. Final Fantasy Tactics, War of the Lions as well. Personally I think they hold up, with maybe Secret of Mana being the worst of the three. I'm extremely positively biased toward Secret of Mana though as it was the first game me, my brother, and my sister could play at the same time on SNES, and was the first game we got with the system for that exact reason (we first experienced it visiting another house, before we even had a SNES, and they had a splitter. They showed us Secret of Mana and some multi-player basketball game I can't quite recall).
It's such a positive memory of us all being able to enjoy the same activity together without fighting over controllers etc(though maybe some fight over characters :P)
I think it isn't illegal if it can't grow a plant, so if heated or ground. You can buy ground hempseed, and i think i have some downstairs. Still, imports and such are much trickier, which is probably why they don't use it for exports. Also other countries may have stricter imports, and perhaps the company doesn't want the headache of verifying which market to send which product to.
It's similar to how most companies just conform to Californian restrictions rather than make different products for different states in the US.
I'm not an expert, but I think that was overuse by Americans and the west using it to be "mystical" etc. Also technically, cardinal directions have been used a pejoratives, some still are. Many countries dislike "the west", Northerners and Southerners can be said with disgust in America since the Civil War, "East Coast Elites" is something I've heard used as an insult by at least one Texan and I'm sure many more.
Also negro just originally meaning black is similar, as is the terms Caucasoid (having to do with the caucus mountains iirc), Negroid, and Mongoloid, which was an archaic grouping of people to basically white, black, brown/Asian. Of those terms, only Caucasian is used today without a racist connotation.
I think it's Hempseed rather than weed itself, but proper Nanami/shichimi togarashi (7 spice blend, roughly translated) has Hempseed. Because of the ban on drugs and such, most exports and US versions exclude it though.
As an example, this site shows and advertises it's usage, then on the same page says:
Hemp seeds match sesame in terms of flavor and aroma. There is an old Japanese saying: "Those able to mill hemp seed are truly mature."
No hemp seeds are used in products for overseas markets.
This is in no way a defense, but rather an accusation: many other companies pull or have pulled similar things. Hasbro famously used near slave labor when they partnered with Good Shepherd Sisters, one of many similar "Magdalene Laundries"; religious convents that some women were put in for sins as horrifying as "having a baby out of wedlock."
Behind the Bastards discusses them in their episodes titled "How the catholic church murdered Ireland's babies"
Maybe they picked it up from Alex Jones. Certainly one of his favorite straps, and he sucks up heavily to both. He was praising Elon's jizz in the end of a bizarre knife ad he did recently.
