U.S.—As cancel culture has come under attack in recent weeks, liberals have begun to grow worried that it might get canceled. And if that happens, they’ll be in the terrible situation of having to discuss and defend their ideas with people who disagree with them.
Progressives have felt a growing anxiety over the thought of losing cancel culture and having to stand by their ideas and defend them with logic.
“Imagine how horrible it would be if instead of just canceling someone, we had to discuss differing viewpoints and then defend our ideas,” said one journalist as he searched a Quiznos employee’s old tweets. “It’s much easier to simply silence them through cancelation, guaranteeing that we’ll never have to examine our own views, come to a better understanding of the other side, and maybe even change our position sometimes.”
