Cancel culture is #2.

• tristor 6y ago
  Cancel culture probably should be #2, it's debatable if it even scratches the surface of achieving #2. It seems cancel culture is not interested in people being dishonest, or spreading misinformation intentionally and maliciously, it's more concerned with enforcing new social mores against dredged up old statements/actions. That could be a good thing, in and of itself, but it doesn't help solve the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories.

    > That could be a good thing, in and of itself, but it doesn't help solve the spread of misinformation and conspiracy theories. At this point it's been weaponized, and has about as much in common with actual justice as it does with a 1984-style "2 minutes of hate".
