Once again, "cancel culture" is used to mean "accurate criticism," and it's how people with big platforms fully aligned with empowered abuse and injustice try to steal the language and aspect of oppressed people fighting for their rights. https://twitter.com/greggutfeld/status/1297289388922155008
Powerful oppressors get opposed. They'd love you to think that opposition was oppression.

In movies, people applaud when a villain is defeated. That's an appropriate reaction. It's not oppression.
It wasn't "cancel culture" when Colin Kaepernick got blacklisted. It was only "cancel culture" if the man who called him a son of a bitch is criticized.

My thought on "cancel culture" is, it would be a good idea. Imagine if more people like Donald Trump were actually cancelled.
Wouldn't it be nice if people who said terrible things on massive platforms were no longer afforded ever larger platforms to say ever more terrible things?

Who ever introduced the idea that nothing should ever get cancelled? Who's subsidizing hate in the marketplace of ideas?
Yep. People complaining about "cancel culture" have absolutely no problem with silencing other people. It's all about maintaining control over who faces consequence for what they say, and for what. https://twitter.com/UnnecessaryFan/status/1297521752550113280?s=20
Exactly right.

It's "the free market will enforce anti-bigotry because people won't spend money in a bigotry-supporting business" right up until the rare moment when that actually happens, and then it becomes dangerous and chilling "cancel culture." https://twitter.com/dbiibd/status/1297529415728009217?s=20
