I agree that we need to be better listeners.
I disagree that this is the reason for cancel culture. This isn't about misinterpretation. It's typically about bad-faith interpretation. There's a very deliberate effort to destroy anyone who disagrees in the slightest from an ideology. When you disagree, anything you do or say will be construed, regardless of how tortured the reasoning, as meaning what the cancel-mob wants it to mean, in an effort to destroy your life.
This is straight out of the revolutionary playbooks. "Rules for Radicals", Lenin's brand of Marxism, Mao's Cultural Revolution...
This is not "oops, they misunderstood." It would be a much smaller problem if it were that.
