Yes, There Is Such a Thing as Cancel Culture. Incredibly, the Harper's letter spawned a bunch of people saying that there is no such thing as cancel culture. As Steven Pinker has argued, cancel culture has parallels with the Chinese cultural revolution and the European witch hunts.

I hope that irony keeps you warm in the gulag.

Partisanship is one of the main reasons the woke are so powerful. They have always attacked everyone across the whole political spectrum, that isn't a new thing. Julie Bindel is pretty far left and has been cancelled for nearly 20 years. People always think they are safe and only bad people get attacked, left or right. There are many response articles to the letter literally saying that right now. But the woke will always stand up for each other no matter how bad their actions, look at Trudeau and his 100 blackface incidents. This is why they win.
