What is the root of a root, systemic bullying of those who are now waken?
If so then it's difficult to stop, many waken ones lose their internal power if they are not shouting it constantly.
I'm sure the condition has a name.

Only if you're so in it that you can't be a bystander.
But then you're not talking about the issue you're talking about you, so taking it personally.

Zucca:
this thread is so much fun to read  :popcorn:  :horse:

m k:
Yes, those who have no experience can't really understand those who are living it.
But reacting by cancel is also irrational to those who are not against others.

Is cancel a revenge?
At least hate is clearly visible.

I thought the definition was pretty clear cut, cancel culture is bullying by mobs, for example demanding someone be cancelled rather than just simply not attending their speech and threatening consequences if they are not. Bullying, intimidation, threats of violence, etc. Some people seem to either pretend it is not happening, or find ways to justify it ("those people are evil, they deserve this treatment", etc) but what other definition is there? Or is "it doesn't exist, it's just a right wing talking point" considered a definition?

I literally provided a link covering this exact topic. My point is literally that the definition is anything but “clear cut”.
