The 4 steps of cancel culture, or socially sanctioned sadism: 1. He said/did thing x. He must lose his livelihood and be annihilated. 2. He did not say thing x, but he said y which is basically thing x. 3. He said neither x or y, but he essentially deserves this anyway because of other things he may have done or said. They may have not offended anyone at the time to cause this level of outrage, but clearly combined with what he may have said recently, his time was up anyway. 4. He may not have deserved what happened to him, but maybe he should have just kept his mouth shut about issue x. If me and my friends accused him, then he probably wasn't innocent. (5.)
