What's frustrating about the internet-libertarian set is how much time they spend talking effusively about "being cancelled", given how thoroughly suppressed they seem to think they are.
I know a little about Brodsky. She's everywhere! Google her name, you'll find her twitter, her essays, her bylines, her substack. Yet here we have a whole essay dedicated to her experience with... cancellation? What got canceled?
I actually dug around trying to find out what she's talking about. And... I couldn't. I can't find anyone complaining about her, any links to her tweets that went viral in angry circles. No "Brodsky is a Pedo" nonsense. There's just nothing I can find that says that anyone dislikes her at all.
But boy, howdy does she write a lot about Cancel Culture.
Basically: I call shenanigans here. She wasn't cancelled, at all. Someone was mean to her on the internet, and that surely sucks. But it's not the kind of endemic social problem she claims it is.
