Maybe so, but there are a bunch of people quietly watching the situation that absolutely hated right-wing cancellations and that find to their surprise that they also hate left-wing cancellations.
To many it seems like while bigotry used to be the best way to bully and intimidate people, now performative anti-bigotry is the best way to bully and intimidate people. So what we see is merely an evolving toolset for sociopaths.

This doesn't feel like that though, given just how often Ngo shows up in the right-sociopath column. Or, as I said in another comment, Winston Marshall has picked a really weird hill to die on.
