I suppose all criticism is cancel culture if you just pretend the “cancel” part is there.

  Criticism != What this article does. Tone and style makes the difference between criticism and the works of the Schreibtischtäter. It's a great German compound word from Schreibtisch (=desk) and Täter (=perpetrator). It's the person sitting at a desk, keeping their hands clean, writing to make others do the dirty work.

    What dirty work? Didn't this guy get $69 million dollars? And you're using a word which from the wikipedia article is described as: "The term "desk murderer" (German: Schreibtischtäter)[1] is attributed to Hannah Arendt and is used to describe state-employed mass murderers like Adolf Eichmann, who planned and organised the Holocaust without taking part in killings personally." I'm amazed.

      For real. Dude just made an enormous amount of money and was catapulted into broad fame by it. This is the opposite of being cancelled.

      > What dirty work? Didn't this guy get $69 million dollars? That was _before_ the article. Obviously you can't cancel people before you know about them.
