"Tumbrels are rattling through the streets of the internet. Over the
past few years, online-led social movements have deposed gropers,
exposed bullies—and, sometimes, ruined the lives of the innocent.
Commentators warn of “mob justice,” while activists exult in their
newfound power to change the world.

Both groups are right, and wrong. Because the best way to see the
firings, outings, and online denunciations grouped together as “cancel
culture” is not through a social lens, but an economic one."

Via Muse, who wrote "Terrific article published in The Atlantic about
cancel culture."

Cheers,
