The whole cancel culture β€œdebate” is basically: there are a bunch of relatively comfortable, affluent people who had gotten used to thinking of themselves as β€œgood” people because they aren’t actively violent to groups they feel superior to. Members of those groups suggested that more might be required of them than just not going out of their way to be terrible. They LOST THEIR COLLECTIVE SHIT. So now it’s a debate.
Realize this isn’t a super original or even particularly insightful point. But I think it bares repeating.
