Cancel culture isn’t a recent trend - there are entire websites dedicated to cancel culture on college campuses, such as https://www.thecollegefix.com/ https://www.thecollegefix.com/. Free thought, free inquiry, and open debate are under attack from those that want only their worldview to prevail. It is a direct threat to a free society and much has been written about it recently from Quillette (https://quillette.com/2020/07/01/on-steve-hsu-and-the-campaign-to-thwart-free-inquiry/ https://quillette.com/2020/07/01/on-steve-hsu-and-the-campai...) and Harper’s (https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/ https://harpers.org/a-letter-on-justice-and-open-debate/) and others. It's become so extreme, that there are now even people trying to cancel Steven Pinker, famed author of bestseller books like "The Better Angels of our Nature" (https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/07/the-forehead-slappingly-stupid-attempt-to-cancel-steven-pinker/ https://www.nationalreview.com/2020/07/the-forehead-slapping...). I’m not sure how to fight back except to create direct consequences for those pursuing cancellation. Perhaps we need to shame and demand the firing of everyone who signs such letters (those who demand censorship and cancellation of others).
