The phrase “cancel culture” is being grossly misused. Neither Boehner, Cantor nor Cheney are victims of cancel culture. Under this flawed reasoning, Jeb was a victim of cancel culture when he lost GOP primary. Political parties exist to represent the views of their voters. (1/4)
In fact, what happens next w/Cheney will demonstrate just how thoroughly cancel culture does not apply—she will have limitless access to financial resources, speaking gigs, corporate and media jobs, etc. So what is cancel culture? It’s the enforcement arm of woke politics. (2/4)
It’s the raw power of radicalized progressives—by either exerting actual control over institutions or simply extorting them—to cut-off access to capital, employment, communication networks & other crucial platforms for reaching audiences, solely for violating a woke tenet. (3/4)
Careers have always been hurt for not understanding public sentiment or being ineffective. Cancel culture expunges people who who are very effective, talented or popular (think @ginacarano) but who are guilty of wrongthink & must be stopped from having an audience at all. (4/4).
