Yeah, this. I don't always agree with *who* gets canceled and *why*, but the alternative -- "don't voice disapproval or voluntarily disassociate when you believe something to be unethical" -- is a lot worse.https://twitter.com/ArthurB/status/1204469207825616896 …

There *are* actions that I think would be worth firing someone over, such as violent crimes. I don't think opposing gay marriage is worth firing someone over. But I don't disagree with the principle "there exist situations when you should try to get someone fired."

I think that the process of cutting someone off from economic or cultural integration into society needs to be based on a legal process, because it has enormous consequences and costs, not just for the individual, but for society itself. Cancel culture sidesteps that.
