I got blocked by Sacramento Bee (a California newspaper) Editorial from their Facebook page. Pretty sure that they didn’t like the different facts that I have pointed out over several different times as rebuttal to their dated opinions … with using each of their own website pages as counter-citations. But hey, Editorial folks reserve the rights to cancel me for their own idiocy of their own makings. It’s just the slippery narratives of their overlords that they are trying to propagate (or is it propagandizing). That to me is “cancel culture”.

Did you suffer any sort of consequence for your responses beyond being deprived of the ability to continue accessing their Facebook page? If not, you're really straining even the most generous definition of "cancel culture" beyond the point of even minimal usefulness.

  sure, they’re rallying people at the behest of the governor against the middle-class. sure enough, they got what they wanted and we are paying dearly for it to this day.

    Sounds like a vague political harm, not a focused individual one - which seems to be the complaint around cancel culture abuses?

  nope. that being blocked from a page is not the definition of “cancel culture”.

I don’t know of any definition of cancel culture that would fit. That’s moderation. Cancel culture would be if they put your profile or picture on the front page as an example of being a terrible person who has done things every right thinking person should not, and no one should think of employing or working with you - because they didn’t like your comments.

If your tone there matched your tone here, I'm not surprised. Calling people idiots and propagandists is not a great way to earn a listen from them.
