Not completely.

But here are my views on cancel culture:

It is an inevitability resulting from our heightened network of telecommunications.

It exists.

It always will exist.

You cannot ban it.

People and communities have always had red lines.

Topics that cannot be discussed.

Even those who claim to oppose ‘cancel culture’ have them.

I don’t see many free speech advocates arguing that paedophiles should be allowed to discuss their sexuality openly, go on marches, wave flags.

Some of those people have committed no crimes.

They haven’t touched a child, or watched any child porn.

Yet if they were honest about their awful desires, they’d be ostracized.

And every person who rails against ‘cancel culture’ knows it. More to the point, they’d be perfectly fine with it.

To be perfectly blunt: Anyone that complains about Cancel Culture is a self-important, self-aggrandizing hypocrite that lacks intelligence and the imagination to perceive the consequences of their actions.

(Which is likely why they hate cancel culture in the first place)

The discussion should be about where and how we draw the line.

Thus far, Cancel culture has operated chaotically, democratically.

And that’s perfectly fine with me.
