How do you band a critical mass of people to counter the firing of an alleged racist who's high crime against the wokeness is not liking the BLM organization or states "allLivesMatter" on their twitter? The first ones out in support are going to get picked off as supposed racists too and chill the whole effect to exactly where we are today and people say it's not worth their while

Somebody's got to draw a line somewhere

That also would end social media, because each platform would require all posts to be approved - or published - first. Is that what you want?
At this point, I would welcome it.

Cancel culture has been around pretty much forever. Just a modern spin on shunning and ostracizing...magnified by how stupid comments now spread around the world on social media...to be shamed by the world rather than laughed off by your friends and neighbors.

From the right......blackball Dixie Chicks, for their anti-Iraq War stand.

Cancel culture says that the consumer's rights to listen, or not listen, to art based on that artists' political views or stances, (or, perception of a view or political stance), is absolute!

Gingrich complained about a county in his district getting “cancelled” in 1994.
