I’ve often wondered about the ‘herd immunity’ that forms as a result of widespread cancel culture.

Initially I assumed that prolific canceling would lead to a general societal understanding of the unsustainability of the cultural. The idea that in Presidential elections in 2059, every candidate would have so much ‘dirt’ against them that it might level the field a bit.

But as this article suggests, another alternative might just be a deadly-to-democracy silence.
