Yes, I am talking about the Charles Murray type of cancel culture. Blocking the person's ability to be heard, stopping the audience from hearing an idea, and in some cases attacking the venue for hosting the problematic person.
I agree that this is about retribution. I am happy to be wrong on this, but it appears to me we're seeing the rise of just another mob dictating allowable opinions. Not replacing the old world, just adding a new layer. More restrictions for the rest of us, and more fear of sharing one's true opinion lest ye unknowingly offend one mob or the other.
I predict more lying about opinions to avoid being targeted. "Become a gray person" I've heard it put. No stance on anything. Try as best as possible to be completely invisible and unremarkable.
