The leaders of "cancel culture" are usually destined to become a Danton, Hebert, or Robespierre.
- TMWNN 6y agoThe difference is of degree, not kind. To put another way, if the leaders of a modern mob had the power to execute their targets the way Danton or Robespierre did, who is confident that they would not let the guillotine blade fall?
- ponker 6y agoI agree, but I was more talking about how those who would become self-styled enforcers of ideological purity tests often find themselves sufficiently impure and lose their heads the same way they took them.
