The Actual Cancel Culture 0

At the Des Moines Register, Shoshana Salowitz discusses the recent and escalating right-wing campaigns to ban books. A nugget:

But let’s be clear. These bans have never been about books. They aren’t about erasing thoughts or concepts or ideas. They are about erasing people.

They are about denying the humanity of Queer folks, Black folks, Brown folks.

Methinks she is onto something.

Aside:

Facing consequences for one’s own actions is not “cancel culture.”

It’s consequences. Consequences that one brings on oneself.

For example.
