The End of “Cancel Culture”? (persuasion.community)

Cancel culture is a right-ring lie to attack the left*, so no wonder it's dying with the rest of the extremism that withered after its macho man lost power.

>A puritanical mindset that seeks to persecute people over the expression of their beliefs is hard to reconcile with a world where so much of what was once private is now public.

Only the liberals survive. Just like offline, too.

Cancel culture is a decentralized phenomenon, and it most certainly is not dying. As much as we hate it, cancel culture endures because it works and people are very much afraid of saying the wrong thing on social media.


It seems like MeToo died down. Just because is decentralized doesn't mean it isn't dying.
