I’ve been hearing backlash against this mainly from the right. It seems both ironic and hypocritical though to me because they are the ones who seem to do it the most.
One key difference between the two sides is it that people on the left appear to have a shorter attention span, maybe they’re more forgiving I don’t know. They boycott and demonstrate against something over the weekend and then they move on to the next issue that grabs their attention. Then they frequently go back to patronizing the business or being acquaints with that person the next week.
People on the right usually seem more hellbent on wanting to destroy things. They don’t give up until a business is bankrupt and shuttered or a person’s life is in total shambles and even then, they don’t relent.
More than a cancel culture we have a punishment culture. Besides having one of the world’s largest incarceration rates we love judging, gossiping and punishing others. Frequently for no good reason at all.
The reason why I bring this up is because it raises several questions like what responsibilities and roles do companies and corporations have in the process?
I would say not much, people are hired and employed to do a job. The position should go to the most skilled and qualified person for it. It can be kind of rough though to conduct business when 1,000 people block the front door of your business.
Remember Monica Lewinsky? She made some poor choices at a very young age. Several “where are they now” type articles popped up in the last several years and she was basically unable to find gainful employment for almost twenty years.
In todays world of portable inexpensive technology this is hyper sensationalized, we can now distribute anything a person has ever said or done in public or private and videotape and take a pictures of it.
As a society we need to answer when can a person be forgiven and redeemed? Is it after they’ve apologized or fulfilled their punishment or are some actions and people unforgivable and unredeemable?
