It's not "cancel culture", it's terrorism. When you threaten a person's job, family, friends, life it ain't free speech anymore.

"Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences!" -Mob trying to suppress free speech
You're absolutely right that there is a fear now, even the "right" people are nervous about saying the wrong thing so opt to say nothing at all. I see SJWs cannibalizing and policing each other's speech/thoughts all the time. There is no winning, there will always be someone more offended than you.

People who don't like wrongthink keep saying that line. Then they call others Nazis and fascist.
Really, their statement is just a slightly watered down version of
"There is freedom of speech. But I cannot guarantee freedom after speech."
This guy, btw, was known as the Butcher of Uganda.
As for cancel culture, I'd hate to be an employer who is spineless enough to fire an employee over shit he said on the internet. What matters to me is his performance. Now I don't know how things work in America but in my country employer has to have a valid reason to terminate an employee. I don't think judges would be too happy to hear that you fired an employee over something as insignificant as an opinion on the internet.

I agree, you just can't every single person happy, even far-left sjws. I don't like that acronym anymore.
