Is there any alternative to cancel culture for holding elites accountable that’s not even worse? Democracy mechanisms get hacked Economics mechanisms get expropriated Media gets captured All by incumbent elites.

This btw is why they love harping on civility. It’s almost a motte and bailey or something. Insist on civility to escape consequences of shamelessness. Wear a tie while doing shameless things. The more shameless the actions, the nicer the ties.

It won't work on any politician from now on. Cancel culture itself is the selection filter. Like when you abuse antibiotics, it can help in the short term but it breeds resistance.
