Brass,

"Cancel culture is alive and well across the entire political spectrum"

That might true but don't you think liberals play the cancel card much more than conservatives?

Alex,

I agreed that it is done by both.

But overall I've seen a lot more from liberals destroying lives....not just books.

Alex,

Cancel culture and banning are not exactly the same.

Banning books of a certain topic, etc.

Cancel culture has more to do with cancelling human beings.

Laura,

When it comes to gays, few minorities have had to suffer systematically at the hands of humanity throughout history more than homosexuals.

It's not something unique to conservatives, though, and the policial system. Both conservatives and liberals in the past have done great harm to gay people.

That being said, I don't include this horrendous treatment when I say I have seen liberals doing more to destroy lives via the cancel culture than conservatives.

"Cancel culture" often targets individuals usually with the goal of affecting their personal and professional lives based on past or present actions or statements or beliefs deemed problematic usually by liberal or progressive groups regardless of the accuracy of the information or extreme bias of those offended.

However, cancel culture isn't a tactic only used by liberals. It was quite effective at removing Bud Light from it's number one spot in beer sales though that might be better classified as a boycott than cancel culture.

I have seen liberals use this tactic not only against conservatives, but also against their own who don't conform to the "group speak" beliefs.
