We have been covering aspects of the cancel culture phenomena, which has mainly been discussed in the Alternative press, the mainstream, despite all evidence, regarding such claims as conspiratorial. But, some are breaking rank:

““Cancel culture” doesn't exist, leftists say out of one side of their mouths. At the same time, out of the other side of their mouths, they are cheering on the online mobs that seek to shame and even ruin the lives of those deemed to have committed thought crimes. This is gaslighting, and it is absurd. Cancel culture is real, and it’s a dangerous threat to a society that once prided itself on open speech. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who has been leading calls to boycott Goya Foods after the CEO complimented President Trump, waded into the debate in her predictably shallow manner on Twitter last week. “People who are actually 'canceled' don’t get their thoughts published and amplified in major outlets,” she wrote. “This has been a public service announcement.” Ocasio-Cortez added, “The term ‘cancel culture’ comes from entitlement — as though the person complaining has the right to a large, captive audience,& one is a victim if people choose to tune them out. Odds are you’re not actually canceled, you’re just being challenged, held accountable, or unliked.” The trigger, if you will, for Ocasio-Cortez’s tweet thread was likely the recent controversy over the publication of a letter in Harper's Magazine, in which many authors and academics defended the idea of open debate. The list included many liberal voices, such as Noam Chomsky. It also included other prominent names such as Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who has come under fire for making the completely obvious declaration that biological sex is real and for criticizing radical transgender activists for the damage they are doing to young women.
