Cancel Culture Doesn't Exist. Also, Musician Cancelled For Liking The Wrong Book.
Why, it's the exception that proves the rule!
In fact, there are so many exceptions to this rule the evidence is overwhelming that cancel culture is a figment of the imaginations of Fox News and fascist right-wing racist transphobe misogynist colonizing haters (apologies if I missed anyone):
Hollywood so soft grown men are offended by a book that tells a historic account of 2020 written by a soft spoken gay Asian immigrant who fled communism https://t.co/aDWWur4BI4

What thought-crime would elicit such a Struggle Session confessional?
This. (You might want to make sure there are no children in the room due to its disturbing content.)
Your eyes are not deceiving you.
He actually liked a book that some other people don't like.
I don't know what people are thinking sometimes.
No doubt, as an open-minded progressive, you are totally unfamiliar with Andy Ngo's hateful work. You are to be commended for protecting your worldview from the impurity of unfamiliar ideas.
Let me sum it up for you:
Andy Ngo took pictures of things that happened and then permitted common citizens to view them without those events being placed in their proper context.
Think of the chaos that could ensue were this kind of reckless behavior permitted to spread.
Take this example.

Had CNN not been there to instruct viewers that they were not seeing what they were seeing, well, who knows what might have happened.
(Hint: Biden might have lost.)
Naturally, Twitter came down hard on Marshall, as well they should.

In addition to being a music critic, Duncan writes things like this.
NEW VIDEO! Against Patriotism - This one looks at the concept of patriotism, settler colonialism and the very concept of the liberal nation state as a building block of racial capitalism before examining the performance of patriotism within such contexts. https://t.co/Kqn2W6sdHA

I don't know about you, but I'm always up for a tedious recitation of a private college's liberal arts syllabus.
And there was this.
when did mumford and sons change their band’s name to a flock of sieg heils? https://t.co/eBFD2MqemL

Mike is not only a comic genius, but the author of an anthology of tortured poetry introduced as:
In a world choking on social media cleanliness, Golden is a glance at the sordid underbelly which unites humanity - whether humanity likes it or not. It is a knot of painfully-raw honesty and bitter deceit, drenched in a viscous philosophy and hard to swallow half-truths.
These people all sound pretty happy to me.
I didn't realize it at the time, but my eyes have now been opened. Just look at the guy. That's him, right there, he's the one who's... okay, I have no idea which one he is but he is totally there and dripping with hate.
Some are saying his apology was cowardly. Not at all. It was stunning and brave. In fact, it was so stunning and brave we can all look forward to him making that apology, in ever more passionate versions, in the near future.
What is cowardly is Andy Ngo placing himself in harm's way to record events that are being ignored by the mainstream media. Why, that's the very definition of cowardly! Go ahead, look it up!
Wait, not yet. Merriam-Webster is probably still working on it.
One final thing if you're not yet convinced that Marshall must be punished (but not cancelled because that doesn't happen.).
Here is a picture of the band standing with Jordon Peterson who is extremely controversial because I just told you he is.
What more do you need?
