      Yeah, you got me, cancel culture is real -- one guy got fired under dubious circumstances. But I still think it's a little bit less significant than cops killing hundreds, Covid-19, the looting of the economy and climate change. That's just me.

      Yes, everyone agrees with you on that. It's an unremarkable thing to say, a cheap point.

      I'm pretty sure everyone doesn't agree on that and there are people obsessed with a largely fictitious cancel culture who ignore real problems.

      I don't know anyone who thinks Shor fired to appease a squad of lunatics is more important than climate change, covid, police brutality, etc. You've invented that, or you know some very strange people.

      There are vast swaths of the population that don't think climate change, covid and police brutality are even real. You should read outside your lefty bubble.

      Many of them are, yes. Anti-PC is a big thing on the neanderthal right.

          Maybe I’m defeatist but I never thought that small constituency was ever one most leftists really cared about convincing of anything, given their intent denial of reality...not sure how they factor into any leftist media drama?

          But so what? We don’t care what they think about liberal publications, do we? We care what lefties/liberals think about them. And you are setting up a permission structure for yourself to excuse illiberal publishing culture on the left by saying that anyone who cares about it
