>I can't help but admit that it seems to work. Really? I see it as a abject failure. - It is universally derided by many different groups. - It is considered a plague on society. - Being "cancelled" is a badge of honor to some. I used to see my society as a place where hate speech was generally taboo. People would only espouse such attitudes in private or, if they did so in public, they'd at least use dog whistles or euphemisms for plausible deniability. Today, Facebook is full of people shouting pretty fucked up shit for everyone to hear. The attitude seems to be that you can't cancel everyone, so everyone should do it as much as possible. I know a lot of people who can't speak to their parents or other close family anymore because the hateful shit they shout on facebook all day. Granted, this is just my person experience. Others might live in a place where people are nicer to each other than they used to be.
