An Australian punditoid who has a daily radio show, weekly newspaper column (in a Murdoch rag of course), and regular television appearances claims he is being denied a place in debates and is being made to feel ashamed

Help, I am being kept silent, says a very vocal and published white make. We can’t shut people like him up even when we don’t try.

"Their traditional lands" SMH.

I don't believe that man has felt shame in his life, beyond the few moments after jerking off fantasising about being pegged

This guy is a complete and utter fuckstick (I'm Aussie).

Murdoch shill is 'cancelled' - if only! Love the 'crybaby' tag though!

Steve Price can fuck off. I hate the fact that he’s still given a voice on The Project.
shadowrunner03
I don't even understand how that show is still on. Wally's a wankstain and Steve is a crackpot
dontmakemeanoptimist
Yeh I stopped watching a long time ago. Don’t really understand people’s love affair with Carrie either.
shadowrunner03
yup, can't stand any of them really. over opinionated bunch really

This text is so disgusting. This published piece of toilet paper should be forbidden for lying.
yepwatermelon
We should bring back the scolds bridle for old white men that think not being allowed to bully and vicious dehumanizing minorities is akin
yepwatermelon
To the Holocaust.

I thought of that immediately, never thought I would see what is pretty much a literal example of it.

Welcome to the hellscape that is Australian media.

This guy looks more like a youtube muslim preacher than a right-winger.
HaniiPuppy
Do you think preachers are generally left-wing?
Kaleopolitus
Way to out your own racism there, holy shit.
vegivamp
Looks more like a conservative than like a conservative? You sure you don't mean to say "hee looks brown"?
aloysiuscentauri
Lol - that is the hallmark of partisan attacks. Your guy is trying to destroy the nation when he does it - - but - - …
aloysiuscentauri
… there are extenuating circumstantial reasons when my guy does it.

This reminds me of that video of the sketch of Lisa Kudrow "Conservative voices are being silenced!!" https://youtu.be/t2DA1uwVsdE

Lisa Kudrow doesn't exist

"Were Armstrong and Aldrin astronauts because of their race and sex?!?!?" Actually kinda, yes. They were given opportunities others weren't.
MadameRainbowPants
But it was the black ladies doing the math by hand in the back!
Ranb40
Sort of. Read the book Hidden Figures. Blacks were in West Computing. Whites were in East Computing.
EUPlayer
And spacesuits are sex specific tho
PrincessNausicaa
I thought that too! There are just so many random (terrible) takes in this!
dunkum09
Did you know cancelling celebrations means you want to forget your history? what and interesting and definitely not stupid thing to say!
INeverReadTheTOS
That's one of the go-to strats for the alt-right. Spout out so much dumb stuff so fast that people can't correct them fast enough.
Jawesome19
It's sadly not even that, you get people who wanna be right over correct so it develops this complex thought process of attempting...
Jawesome19
To use metaphors to relate their point if view except they're too stupid to understand a metaphor so they just compare something...
Jawesome19
That has no connection or correlation but has a proud human moment in history involved which evokes a sense of security and...
LaughingInTheFaceOfDanger
No kinda about it Absolutely they were there because of the color of their skin.
ThePunishersVengefulBrother
100% race and sex were barriers to admission. They each excelled, to their personal credits, but they had the chance
DonutThief
Agreed. Armstrong and Aldrin were great choices but you wonder if there were better that never got a chance
InoffensivePablum
Surely all the female fighter pilots were given an equal opportunity.
vegivamp
Pretty sure they had to fight twice as hard for the same job.
TheYoungerChrisEvans
Hey now, we allow everyone the opportunity to die for their country (and its corporate overseas interests)

CatrionaShadowleaf
The first female F18 pilot on the KHK was given the callsign SUMAT - Shut Up, Men Are Talking. That was 2005 or so. Still sound equal?
Rustae
You obviously don't understand how call signs work.
Zahnradfee
I'm certain that razzlevajazzle was being sarcastic.
MushinMan
i agree, but that's a bad example. MOST callsigns are derogatory, and fun fact: In 1994 The first female navy jet fighter had the CS "Hulk"
MushinMan
Mind you, not because she was considered unintelligent, but because she could straight up bench press 200 pounds
SithElephant
At the time, I don't believe there were any. The airforce had female pilots, but they were NOT test pilots, or combat. (fuzzy memory)

That's the point. Women weren't even allowed to come close to becoming astronauts.
DdCno1
In the US at least. While the USSR put women at a serious disadvantage in many ways as well, the first female cosmonaut went to space in...
DdCno1
1963: Valentina Tereshkova. For a while, the USSR was ahead in terms of gender equality, until it stagnated and fell behind.
MikeReese9
Yes, and Chuck Yeager actively kept Black pilots from qualifying as astronauts.
pickinganameistoomuchpressure
they werent selected because of their race, but every decision that got them ultimately into the group of finalists was
DonutThief
You understand that women and POC weren't even given the opportunity to put a name in the hat, let alone try out right?
pickinganameistoomuchpressure
yeh that's what I was saying...they can argue that the selection wasnt due to race but magically they all ended up being white guys
pickinganameistoomuchpressure
because every decision that got them ultimately into the group of finalists was based on race to an extent (or very blatantly)
Exyr
Got to love it when a person claims to be canceled in a national newspaper.
DelCorazon
That’s “rich”….
anSSLerrorhasoccuredandasecureconnectiontotheservercannotbemade
He doesn’t have a voice! That poor man.
AlwaysUpvotesRaul
Oh he does. He just has nothing of value to say. Sadly, he can’t tell the difference.

"Things are changing and I don't like it" dude get over it it, you're 60 your time ha passed, the younger generation are taking the helm

randomguy342
I just read through the garbage there though and...he isn't actually cancelled?! He's just complaining about the world becoming inclusive?
NotAHugeSpider
He sees human rights & equality as zero sum game, with any gains they make being taken from him. Also prob mad he can't say bigoted shit.
InkyBlinkyPinkyAndClyde
Because when what you want is privilege, it *is* a zero-sum game. Giving equality to one group takes privilege away from another.

The irony is lost to his audience...

"They cancelled me with a front page article!"
SJBSavageInk
It's funny how he thinks he's in the majority.
SarcasticComment
Bill Burr dedicated 33% of his last special to Cancel Culture. Only topping his field in comedy, successful actor, tv producer, podcaster...
SarcasticComment
Sorry people tweet at you when they don't like your material, but I think you'll live.
ReginaFPhalange
Front page, to boot.
DeniableCredibility
or screaming about how they're silenced into a microphone in front of millions of people
SarcasticComment
so many comedians. Cancel Culture material is low hanging fruit from people who continue to find high paying work
SonOfChicken
He's just a tosspot tooting his own horn. It's better and faster to ignore these old wankers
backrideup9
Maybe if he had something helpful or constructive to say, people would listen.
AllForFee
It's interesting to read his perspective on no longer being the majority in control, deciding everyone's fate just because he happens 1)
AllForFee
to be white and male. No one takes his opinions as the defacto truth anymore. People want to see their own faces reflected in power and 2)
AllForFee
the press, as well as sports, etc... He's whinging because the times are changing. How dare POC or women demand representation??? 3)
AllForFee
Why should they get a say? Everyone should be happy to let straight white men (of means, of course) take centre stage! No one else 4)
AllForFee
matters really. He's probably one of the old men who take Viagra and reminisce about his younger days when he was worshipped as a SWM. 5)
