>Cancel culture is not compatible with democratic norms

Cancel culture is a myth.

It is a label used to denigrate people and organizations who exercise the fundamental right to distance themselves from associations they find distasteful or non-beneficial.

There is not a single "cancelled" person who does not retain the ability to work and exercise their speech rights.

This is not opinion it is fact.

I welcome any attempt to prove me wrong.

I will respond with acting credits, tweets, and photographs of the cancelled person serving in a position of authority and/or being chauffeured between media appearances where they complain about being cancelled to an audience of millions.

"Cancel culture" is the same bullshit as "virtue signaling": made up nonsense intended to poison any discussion and blunt criticism without needing to do or say anything substantive.
