So companies are allowed to cancel peoples bank accounts because of a few words. The difference is companies aren't doing this because they want too. There scared and can't make decisions.

If one person in a boardroom says Elon is this or Kanye is this we can't do business with him and if you don't agree with me then you are labeled as them. So everyone falls in line out of fear of being cancelled.

You really think Adidas wanted to lose 40% of there revenue because of a tweet. They don't care what Kanye tweeted they would keep him if they knew they wouldn't get cancelled.

It's detrimental to society because it is just the beginning and will be used as a tool for people to get what they want which isn't always going to be good things in the future.

What ever happen to business is business. It's now turned into companies running social justice campaigns out if fear. I mean really were talking about things that are not that big of a deal.

I don't think companies are capable of thinking freely out of fear of being cancelled. The only reason there doing it is because of social pressure no other reason. At certain point when does cancel culture stop.

Elon someone who has done more for society than 99.9% of people yet says a few controversial things every now and then so people hate him. I know 100% every person has said or done things that is considered not inline with the narrative.

As long as people aren't clearly threatening each other i see no reason cancel culture should exist. We have banks canceling peoples bank accounts because of a few words things are out of control. If you're not a perfect human being and follow the narrative 100% then you are removed from society.

I disagree there was far less rigidness to life than today. People broke way more rules back then. Laws weren't taken as seriously. You could break many laws and cops would let you off the hook easily if you were nice. Now days life is very strict and there is zero room for error if you make a mistake. You can screw up once you won't get another chance in today's world. Especially with cancel culture.

Everyday the country is developing new useless laws to control people. Soon there will be only one set way to live and thats it because all laws and rules will be written.
