   Yes. The McCarthy error oops I meant era. The Witch Hunts.   
      
   During the Dubya Bush years many good people were "Cancelled." They   
   were labelled as "UnAmerican" or even more often as "Pro Terrorist."   
      
   The largest (by far) operator of radio stations, Clear Channel, staged   
   record burnings of politically unacceptable songs, and banned the   
   Indingo Girls for their protests against Dubya Bush and the invasion of   
   Iraq...   
      
   In many ways it was much worse than today.   
      
   You see, "Cancel Culture" doesn't belong to the left or the right. Both   
   sides own it and practice it at every conceivable opportunity. The   
   right wing doesn't hate Cancel Culture. No, conservatives are upset   
   because they're not the ones victimizing people right now.   
      
   Well there's Alec Baldwin...   
      
   But do you see? Nobody wants to end Cancel Culture, they simply   
   demand that they be the ones behind it.   
      
   That's why nothing gets better.   
      
   WHAT WOULD END CANCEL CULTURE FOR EVERYBODY?!?!?   
      
   That's the only question that matters.   
      
   It's pointless stopping the shrieking "Enbies" or the "TransRacials"   
   or any of the extremists, if the answer doesn't also stop neo   
   McCarthyists.
