I think cancel culture in the abstract has its place. The fact is, market forces, especially individualized ones, tend to fail pretty hard at supporting the common good. Like, super bad. Unite those individuals and suddenly their collective voice can actually make a difference and create real change. The real sticking point I have is the total lack of accountability and often fickle nature of the targeting of Twitter mobs. There’s very little room for repentance, dialog, real transformation, or even sustained effort from any one on either side. It’s very much an “ outrage of the week” which doesn’t actually help.
