Like? (Who's a fan of cancel culture?)
Many fans of cancel culture have mentioned that it's mostly powerful people publishing opinions about it, as if that were some kind of contradiction. Of course it's mostly powerful people who are speaking openly about a phenomenon that gets less powerful people fired.

People who are easy to fire cannot be powerful by definition. Ergo: getting people fired is almost always punching down, not up.
