CMV: Society needs to get back to ignoring speech someone doesn't like instead of trying to get them fired or cancelled.

There are exceptions to this and that is if they are in a position of power and authority and their speech indicated they are negatively impacting groups of people in their lives due to being the owner of a business, a politician, or a person of legal authority.

With in that exception it needs to be clearly targeted towards individuals and jokes don't count and opinions that don't convey intent to discriminate or harm don't count.

As for the rest of the public if someone says something that offends you, move on they have a right to say whatever they want as long as they are not threatening someone else and so do you.

"Person A said something that really hurt me and I didn't like it and don't want people to say those things about people like me or people like my friend but that's their right to their opinion and I am going to move on and just block them and ignore them since they don't know me and I don't know them so they don't have any real consequence over my life".

This needs to be the way society responds not with "I'm going to find out where they work and get them fired".

EDIT- I am only talking about not trying to get someone fired from a job or kicked out of school, not saying people shouldn't rebuttal or reply back.

EDIT 2- I'm a leftist btw idk if that matters but yeah lol.

'Get back to'? When did we 'ignore speech we didn't like'? Back in the 2000s, when the Dixie Chicks got basically booted from country music for expressing that they were embarrassed to be from the same state as George W. Bush? The 80s or 90s, when putting anything vaguely magical in a piece of media would get you called 'satanic' and have people call to boycott you? The 50s, when being vaguely communist would get you blacklisted from your industry?

This isn't new.
