The whole cancel culture thing is the biggest scam because I’m pretty sure Fox News and Breitbart invented the thing where you bring media attention to someone being critical of cops, wealthy people, or white people to get them fired or deluged by death threats.
Was Breitbart’s attack on the working people’s org ACORN not cancel culture? Fox and Breitbart’s attack on Black USDA official Shirley Sherrod wasn’t cancel culture? The regular bits where Tucker Carlson & friends secretly record and broadcast a professor criticizing whiteness?
The truth is the invention of reactionary ideological assaults and rhetoric using media in order to silence, humiliate, and destroy the careers or organizations of opposing political groups is basically the Fox News and conservative media public sphere’s entire racket.
Also— I’m pretty sure lynching was the original cancel culture.
A politics of disposability underlies who really gets canceled (and who never does).
