You hate cancel culture? You ARE cancel culture.

Also, I am looking out my window right now and don’t see anything burning much less “the world”.

You are a case study in what propaganda does to the brain.

If Mark Read says he hates cancel culture, why would you say "You ARE cancel culture"? If he says he hates it, he hates it.

I say the same thing: I hate cancel culture. But that does not mean I can't pick and choose what other ideas I am for or against.

I said he is cancel culture because he is literally advocating for cancel culture in his comment. You and he can say you hate it as much as you want but if you advocate for it as well, then you and he would obviously be lying about hating it. BTW - This applies to any side of the political spectrum. People on the Right can engage in cancel culture as well, although, it is typically to prove to the Left how destructive the thing they unleashed on the world is. But it is still cancel culture.

Where would you get the impression that I am advocating for "cancel culture"? I take that to refer to persecution, loss of jobs and opportunities and so forth, on the basis of opinions about a person/victim expressed online, often on Twitter. I hate that phenomenon because it is justice of the mob, which is no justice at all.

I said you “can” and “if”. It was a hypothetical.
