I find very peculiar how the proponents of various version of Critical Theory and Cancel Culture simply argues that they do not exist when confronted with criticism; this reminds me of one of my college philosophy professor trying to confuse his students with "nothing really exist" instead of answering the critiques of his teachings.
To give a few high profile examples:
* People arguing that private companies should be able to do anything with their public platforms regarding politically motivated censorship
* Jordan Peterson getting warned by the University of Toronto's lawyers for making a video about how he wouldn't cooperate about being forced to use certain pronouns.
* Lindsay Shepherd got disciplined by Wilfrid Laurier University's staff for merely showing a video of Jordan Peterson.
* Brett Weinstein was confronted by a hostile mob for criticizing the College for asking White student to stay away from college this day.
* Gregg Patton from the University of Southern California was replaced for saying the very usual Chinese expression "ne ga"; while teaching a Chinese Mandarin course.
> I grew up in a smaller town (but not tiny), where teachers who were fired or otherwise quietly left town after coming out as gay.
It's almost as if things have changed.
