Remember that the conservative cancel culture uses anti-terror tools : secret lists, administrative persecutions, and other sneaky means. Do not believe that cancel culture is a left leaning trope.

- namelessoracle 5y agoExcept that I remember the left looking askance at those tactics. Decrying them as immoral and wrong and a bad thing. Yet when political and cultural power shifted to the left what happened? They did the same things. What this conveys to me is that there were never any principals or morals in play. It was all an exercise in power. Those without power posturing until it was their turn and then doing the exact same kind of things. I think thats what secretly terrifies people the most about the equity types, the complete lack of belief that they believe anything they say. And that the ultimate result will be that some of those actors feel it's their turn to conduct what they say are injustices. That is how the wheel of history has almost always played out. It feels like a real lack of first principles when it comes to equity politics. Racism is bad, but racism we do is good. Oh what we do isn't racism because we changed the definition of racism to not include what we are doing at the moment. Oh we PROMISE we wont change it again when we have all the power. Pinky swear.
