I think he's got the last frame backward

No he's got it right. Because in the end these people are wrong for trying to "Cancel" a person that has nothing to do with the previous five frames. While it may seem like the illiberal left is winning, they are employing a loosing strategy that requires constant censorship, word redefinitions, and defamation. None of these pictures tells the story accurately. They only disingenuously attempt to reduce all these events to the common denominator of white men. This is no different than blaming innocent black people for the criminal actions of other black people, past or present.

Aztecs killed and enslaved so many people that they literally depopulated the area around them. The Salem witch trials were shown to be land & asset grabs (and women played a huge role in the false accusations of other women). About 1% of the population owned slaves with Jews playing a significant role in the financing of slave ships and cotton processing. The other two frames are so vague that you must simply accept that white men are to blame implicitly.

These illiberal fascists are playing a dangerous game. They clearly have genocidal intentions. And while I can say for certain many innocent white men are going to get unfairly persecuted for the time being, the line can't hold. These people have built a tower of babel.

I just noticed that at least 3 of the 4 glaring characters in the last frame are the oppressed character in the prior frames, and that puts a completely different spin on the whole strip. Now I take it to be about how the bigoted white man's past is finally catching up with him. And in which case the whole strip is nothing more than a trite, one dimensional exercise in liberal propaganda masquerading as intellectual posturing.

In short it's saying that Cancel Culture for the first 500 years was practiced by the oppressor. But now the oppressed have the upper hand. Take that, evil white man!

You have an interesting take on it and one that I didn't even consider, but I think you're reading too much into it. Though you make a valid point about how facts do not matter when it comes to left ideology; Revising history is one of the main tools in the Marxist playbook.
