the worst thing the internet has done is that it has convinced a significant portion of its users that every single story or post or idea or concept or community has to relate to them in some capacity. if they are not in the core audience, they need to be included. if they are not happy with it, they need to be satisfied. the sociological concept of exclusion is not an inherently moral debate, sometimes you are just not included in a group or community and that is fine.
Notice anything out of place with the time? The protest at the Capitol hadn’t even started yet when this was published. #NoAgendaBannedCamp
Today I realized the Bible had something really important to say about cancel culture: "he that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone".
Point is, no one who participates in this vile practice is by any means "without sin", even in the eyes of progressive culture alone.
But then again, cancel culture never was about virtue. It's not even truly about virtue signalling. It's about getting a rush of adrenaline from knowing you have power over others, deadly power than can destroy people's lives.
Like a king, in ages of old, had the power to execute anyone he pleased, so too does the woke mob want to wield a devastating power.
Woke progressives are tyrants at heart. Cancel culture is just one of the signs of that. Never forget it.
