      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 …

      If Google trends is to be trusted, discussions of "cancel culture" have taken off while "at-will employment" remains static, so they are most likely rarely discussed together. https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=today%205-y&q=at-will%20employment,cancel%20culture …pic.twitter.com/sD2V2WAlJg

          I'm not sure it's really a good case either; would we be better off if nobody could be fired for speech outside of work hours?

          Not sure it HAS to be so black and white. Nuance ought to rule. But, America. Nuance has become the ultimate in politically incorrect, in conservative(more accurately, right-wing) circles.

          But without the labor market element, what are we talking about? What's bad about cancel culture then? People criticizing each other online? Bret Stephens getting his feeling hurt?

          indeed the true function of cancel culture critics is to obscure material power relations and only have cultural relations mediated by the media and university system be the focus. it’s an idealist assault on reality

          Jeet, I love you, but that's poor statistical reasoning. Amongst other things, cancel culture is probably a term more used by critics of the left. Also, any time you have a new phrase (like cancel culture), its trend will overwhelm a boring old phrase (like at-will employment).
