  1. Did Tom actually make an objective point about "cancel culture"?, or is this just buzz-word/fashionista Web? He complains about lack of evidence by critics of cancel culture. Where is Tom's research and evidence? Pot calling Kettle. One can actually look at this leftish activism objectively (email-mobbing, no-platforming, SJW-politics, bullying by coercision). I did. There is an increase. Cancel culture is widespread in acdemia, media, and even in NGOs. It is designed to create an SJW-friendly monoculture - but only in these institutions. Cancel-culture isn't going to lose you a job on a building site. So why and how? 1. Cancel culture doesn't come from the traditional left (which I'll define as a univeralist left). It comes from the particularist left (identitarians, pomos). 2. Cancel culture victims are generally NOT right. Since academia, mass media, and NGOs have already been cleansed of the right. Victims tend to be liberals and universalists. Victims may be identitarians too - but not members of Woke fashion indetities such as BTQs & "equity" supporters; unless the BTQ being cancelled is anti-woke. 3. Cancel campaigns give wokes something to do, and a politics to belong to.

  2. My Twitter account was cancelled by the US Dept of Homeland Security - not by the "mob". That does NOT mean there's no "cancel culture". "Cancel culture" is a culture of censorship and authoritarianism promoted by authoritarians and their poodles. Poodles such as Tom Nicholas.
