Been saying [some version of] this at least since Michael articulated it so well on You're Wrong About... Excluding bigots from cultural and political influence because of their behavior is fundamentally different than bigots excluding people because of their identities and physical attributes...
We're getting a wave of articles that are like, "gee willikers it sure seems like the people who complained about 'cancel culture' for years really like canceling people."
Yes! This was extremely obvious at the time and a lot of us pointed it out!

Some say canceling is an act of redress. Others blame it on a mob.
“People have used the word ‘cancel’ so loosely,” Ernest Owens author of “The Case for Cancel Culture,” said, “that everyone’s calling everything a cancellation.”

I wonder if Andrea Jenkyns is even dimly aware that the language she is using there is deeply, deeply problematic.

The solution to the “Paradox of Tolerance” should be beamed into every single person’s head. I’m tired of so many dumbasses thinking they’ve found the ultimate gotcha whenever leftists do literally anything more than crumble like wet paper.

There will be more rough days ahead. Maybe tomorrow will be one of them.
But there are lots of us, and these fascists are bound to lose if we keep showing up.

One of the few things that gets a similar reaction from me, which I've returned to multiple times in recent years, is this from Hannah Arendt in 1951.
If looking for a positive takeaway—because when writing like this resonates, things are not positive—it confirms the historical analogy is fitting.

An arrest of a person due entirely to the person having dark skin color is now known across the country as a "Kavanaugh stop," based on Justice Kavanaugh's justification of the practice. slate.com/news-and-pol...
There’s a New Lawsuit Against “Kavanaugh Stops.” It’s Absolutely Devastating.
These detentions, far from the “brief” inconvenience the justice described, are often lengthy, violent, and dangerous.

MADELEINE DEAN: The president is unhinged. He's unwell
JOHNSON: A lot of folks on your side are too
D: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals?
J: I didn't see it
D: It's so dangerous! Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing. You have a POTUS who's unwell.
