Cancel culture is undeniably a judgment of our failure to address systemic and structural issues. I understand its lure to the relatively powerless: it gives the illusion that we are finally having significant movement on serious issues that keep getting delayed or denied. Is it any surprise that it is largely associated with sexism and racism, two of the biggest problems we can't seem to get a handle on?
