The cancel mob is already infighting, so there's some hope that this farce will just eat itself due to internal divisions and uncontained aggression. When a wild hearsay and reckless over/misinterpretation can make words taboo, people social lepers, or even kill businesses, literally no one and nothing is safe. Most folks are getting fed up with all this hostility. The moment people with social media pitchforks collectively realize that they aren't unpunishable and can get framed themselves, fear kicks in and this whole mass hysteria either spectacularly implodes or fizzes over in shame.
I so hope you are right!
I sincerely hope you're right. Ruthless political correctness is a modern form of totalitarianism.
