When something is bothering me, I get this... I don't know, a pressure in my mind. A need to talk about it, to vent, in order to relieve it. I'm feeling that same pressure right now, but I don't know why. It's confusing and frustrating, and this post isn't helping. :-/

It's so interesting that in the name of practicality we are urged to avoid any practical action; in the name of redemption we are urged to exonerate people who have shown no interest in redemption; in the name of civility we are urged to overlook the cruelty of those who scorn all civility

Even more so because we never had cancel culture. We had the beginnings of a suggestion of cancel culture and most privileged people and every vector of institutional power treated it like the biggest moral hazard the world has ever seen and spent an astonishing amount of effort to shut it down.
Honestly, we could have used a lot more cancel culture.
