I would think of the economic persecution of individuals as powerful weapon. just like with any weapon: - some will call it 'great equalizer'. Meaning that a victim no matter how small and physically weak, can still fight off a number of aggressors - some will call it a tool of death making, that belongs to the hands of military (in the case of cancel culture, it would be equivalent to saying that this tool belongs government ) Point is, just like usage of any weapon, the morality and legality of economic persecution depends on: - what / who is it used for - amount of collateral damage - who used it - were there other means, was it legal - the manipulative power of the legal team defending the use One thing we can sure of, any new weapon gets adapted by all sides of a conflict.
