I've noticed this too. The recommendations I'm now getting from my audible account are full of newly-published titles promoting wokism and other morally and intellectually bankrupt junk rather than the classic titles I typically go for.
- For example, only in 2003 was gay sex legal throughout the US. Is that a form of cancelling?
- It’s still legal to fire or not hire gay people. Is that a form of cancelling?
- US conservatives also fight for the right of any public official to follow the calling of Jesus by refusing to sign marriage licenses. Or the constitutional right to refuse business.
- Does one not remember the Bush Jr presidential race where a US constitution ban on gay marriage was the get out to vote issue for Christian evangelicals?
- We have doctors who cannot follow the prescriptions of their professional societies, such as the American Pediatric Society, because they are banned by law from advising youths on transgender treatment.
- There is a race around the country to make it harder for those over 65 to vote, or to reduce voting locations.
What is Cancellation? At the core of cancellation is the freedom of association. But freedom of association doesn’t make it so TX can prosecute gay men for having sex in a bedroom. Freedom of association means people either like you or don’t like you, and they will either associate with you or they won’t.
Any discussion of harmony must account for a history of cruelty.
Because any one with minimum education in history can recognize wokism as the new cultural revolution being adapted for americans. It is not only junk it is also a vile ideology.
But of the "wokism" stuff, 90% of it will be crap - morally and intellectually bankrupt junk.
Possible after a time something enduring will precipitate out of recent thought.
There is no shame in confessing having sold "wokism" short, should it prove other than so much folly.
Regarding your example of "stop asian hate"- the asian instagram community has been talking about it a lot in wake of current events. It is entirely unsurprising that people would be checking it out after being previously unaware.
