In the past decade, the left got so cancel-happy that "cancellation" by the left-wing activist crowd lost pretty much all of its weight among anyone who isn't an ideologue. In 2016-2018, if you got canceled, you would have a very hard time finding any white-collar job afterward.

If a bigot acts like a bigot then gets outed, that's their own fault. They're not victims.

		We’re talking about people having their lives judged by thousands of people online based on a 5-second video from someone with an agenda. There’s no way for them to clarify, no way for them to “have their day in court,” apologizing just makes the mob smell blood. The only point is revenge and sadism, there’s no redemption, no point other than pain, pure and simple. People are complicated and I don’t want a video of me on a bad day edited and then posted online for everyone to see.
