Very telling. To me, any movement, religion, viewpoint that can't stand up to any dissent or disagreement is doomed to fail. If just disagreeing with one plank in a platform can cause them to be canceled, it's obviously flawed.

What if the media is on your side? This poor woman was (in this case, literally) cancelled because she liked some tweets, but it wasn't the loser with nothing better to do than search through someone's like history for several years that cancelled her. It was the people running the event.

When the media is blasting everyone with the propaganda of this religion to the point that the people running things are afraid to run afoul of the zealots, what opportunity do the sane have to push back?

Incidentally, I find it bizarre that one is allowed to continue to cyberstalk someone that one has blocked.

Eventually they eat each other or find themselves alone because the qualifications are so stringent and you can't dissent, people are forced out. That's what I'm hoping for. Look at the troons. There's already an effort within the alphabet people to excise them.
