Cancel culture is indeed "stand for what you think is right". It's simply that the notion of a service contract of any type (be it buying in a supermarket, getting a service from a company or being employed by someone) are always two-way, where either side can decide to cancel the other by no longer entering contracts with the other.
I would also argue that in the colloquial usage, Call Out Culture, "Stand for what you think is right" and Cancel Culture refer to the same thing in this context.
- nix23 5y ago>Stand for what you think is right That's the difference, you stand for what (you think) is "right", and NOT that everyone else is wrong.
- zaarn 5y agoFor what am I supposed to stand but what I think is right?
- nix23 5y agoYour not supposed to stand for anything, you are an individual. As long as you see other as individuals (and not groups) too, everything would be much better (and the US would NOT having just a two party system, it's just to easy to hold the status quo if you can use black and white arguments)

- radu_floricica 5y agoThere's also a meta-level. I stand for what I think is right. But I also believe that the rules of the game are important, beyond what I think is right. I may be mistaken occasionally (hard to believe, but it happens), or I just believe that a functional society is based on more than just being right. Either way, I will support ground rules for open debate even if they momentarily hurt my argument or my tribe.
