      2/ Back in middle school, I got picked on a lot. Verbally, but also physically. I lived in a kind of rural town that was like 1/3 white collar, 1/3 decent blue collar, and 1/3 white trash. The elementary schools were great, but for some reason the middle school was terrible.

      3/ If a kid was a nerd, or fat, or not part of the in crowd, it was the done thing to trip him, knock his books down, sucker punch him, or whatever. The hallways were effectively unpoliced, so this happened EVERY SINGLE DAY.

          4/ The normal response was to keep your head down, shrug off the single punch, pick your books up after you were tripped. I thought that was bullshit.

          5/ So I made it a policy that whenever anyone slapped, punched, or tripped me, I'd go wild on their ass. Just raining down blows. This usually ended up as a 2-on-1 or 3-on-1 fight, but I'd never cry uncle of give up - just keep punching, even if I took 2x or 3x as many fists.

          6/ Turns out that the ROI for an attacker is a lot better when they deliver 1 punch and get 0 back, than when they deliver 16 punches and get 8 back.

          8/ Part of the problem we have today with cancel culture is that everyone is terrified of eating a few fists. Probably because they haven't been punched (literally or metaphorically). Getting punched in the face sucks ...but once it happens a few times, you realize that you

          9/ can absorb the damage, and keep on keeping on. Getting cancelled sucks ... but once it happens, you realize that you can absorb the damage. It wasn't fun back in 2011 when Warren Ellis called for a boycott of the small business I owned and ran, and my income dropped.

          12/ So that's the moral, and my plea: we're all a lot tougher than we think we are, and the fear of pain is a lot worse than the actual pain. If the communists try to cancel you, remember the rule from boxing:

          Not only can you keep going on, but the chances of it actually happening drop. If you radiate rational confidence in your beliefs/actions, people are afraid to attack. You not immediately folding is their great fear. Source: Realname posting my whole life in cancel-rich fields

          Some of us have some degree of familiarity with Morlock's school experience, and one thought I've had as an adult that has curbed the urge to brood on mild childhood injuries...the worst of those bullies lived with a monster that abused them.
