So much hand-wringing as the nature of power mutates and changes hands.

I generally agree that the outcomes of "cancel culture" are undesirable, but I am glad to see that in our little democratic experiment, a new form of power has found a voice and is causing those previously in power to quake in their boots.

I am confident that a new equilibrium will eventually be reached that won't have such occasional appalling outcomes. In the meantime, I wish those who are constantly apoplectic about "cancel culture" would be a little more self-aware and perhaps even happy to see some minority voices getting some undeserved wins here and there.

After all, the suffering that some of these minority voices have historically experienced is unthinkably bad. Remember that: unthinkably bad. Worst imaginable. And it is absurd to argue that the lingering effects of that are not still with us in uncountable ways, big and small.
