    This is a big reason why I can't take the people who talk about cancel culture seriously. Their unwillingness to propose actual solutions to unjust firings betrays the fact that goal is simply to shore up the status quo with browbeating.https://twitter.com/MaxKennerly/status/1279963287883481088 …

    If "cancel culture" is wrongly costing people their jobs, we can: ➡️ Strengthen unions ➡️ Prohibit termination without cause ➡️ Extend Loudermill & Pickering rights to private employment Strange how "cancel culture" critics never propose giving employees more power or rights. 🤔 https://twitter.com/LemieuxLGM/status/1279860521605320704 …

        Nah the solution is like @adamcarolla says, stop apologizing to the mob And Jeet it’s hard to discuss something as a problem when *certain* people act like it doesn’t exist in the first place

        Replying to @HeerJeet

        People that talk about cancel culture fail to understand that our words and actions carry weight and are subject to social evaluation for good cause. For example if you are a racist teacher, how can you then teach and evaluate you coloured students? Or a police officer ? Etc etcpic.twitter.com/VQFoECeTbP

        Here's one cancel culture critic who believes in all of that and more.

        Those proposals are great. But in the context of cancel culture, they'd just allow employers to deflect the pressure from those calling for termination onto whoever/whatever was preventing it (unions, for-cause employment provisions, etc.).

        Right. I don’t immediately see why unions would be more likely to resist a social media pile-on. Maybe? but it’s not clear. Also, solving the problem by changing our mores about pile-ons (if possible) would have collateral benefits beyond preventing firings.
