Back in the not so distant past, people used to be cancelled, not via shunning, but via lynching.

who is getting cancelled for “asking questions” and does your definition of cancellation extend beyond losing access to algorithmic boosting of posts on a dying platform?

I'm very anti-cancel culture but it's absurd to compare cancellation to death. Or to compare the West to communist China. Actually, that people make these comparisons is a testament to how good things are.
