View submission: Philosophical takes on cancel culture
I think we need to be conscious of why people are motivated to “cancel” on social media if we’re interested in a critique of “cancel culture.” Ideologically demystifying oneself is a lifelong, active process, and the failure of this process—the failure to hold American police accountable for their actions or to communicate that “third world” near-slave labor is postmodern neoliberal capitalism‘s precondition, for some examples—has violent consequences. The stakes are incomprehensibly high, and anything other than the completely ideologically demystified truth, or the communication of an active attempt to reveal this truth in real time, would be highly ethically blameworthy for many leftists.
There's nothing here!
