`Nothing is more unpredictable than the mob, nothing more obscure than public opinion, nothing more deceptive than the whole political system` - Marcus Tullius Cicero. 63 BC
Dave Chappelle and some other comedians like Joe Rogan are "too big to fail". But how many lesser voices get cancelled is the true hallmark of consistency and principles.
In the old days kings cancelled lesser voices by beheading them. Occasionally, the "lesser" voices rose up and beheaded kings (King Charless II, Louis the 16, the Romanovs).
Cancel culture is as old personkind (or is it peoplekind?).
It is just another blunt instrument of intimidation and bullying. The modern version is a performative art to get status by trying to wreck the lives of others without having the legal right to behead people.
Daphne ended up committing suicide but at least that was a self-inflicted death.

The mob even accused the comedian Bill Burr, who is married to a Black woman and has a daughter from her, of being a racist.
"...a white man having a non-white wife can sometimes be a sign of racism. So you shouldn't assume someone isn't racist just because they own a minority sex servant. They may very well have one because they're racist."
