It always came across as an intellectual-sounding but rather hollow argument that doesn't address issues of identity formation, how identity relates to political institutions and representative democracy. Nor indeed how much of modern life depends on normative frameworks beyond the nation state

Years ago, my colleagues at Business Insider and I tracked YouTuber “cancellation” arcs. What we found is that for many entertainers, “cancellation” actually sets the stage for a redemption arc, one that can raise their profile higher than ever. It wasn’t career-ending. It was fuel.

For me this flat caricature of whole segments of the populatuon that in reality are socially and ideologically heterogenous is infuriating.

A reproduction of class prejudice cloaked in claims of fighting it.
