Cancel culture, as far as I understand it is mainly just the exposition of sexual predators and unapologetic racists in positions of power. DBAD, and you'll be fine. The last two people I heard talking about cancel culture were two frat bros simultaneously rating women that walked by so I might be a bit touchy on the subject right now.

This is all to say that equating being against unions is about as far away from sexual predators and racists as communists are. You might be fringe, but it'll never get you cancelled. I guess unless you're trying to cancel a union or run for union leadership positions.

Don't forget that conservatives invented cancel culture. We still have Christmas and Harry Potter and witchcraft. Your anti union prejudices are fine.

I'm talking about Brendan Eich, who got forced out of mozilla because of his donation to support proposition 8[1]. In the end the proposition received 52% yes, 48% no, so it wasn't exactly a fringe position.

I think you misunderstand the situation. These are generation changes taking place where workers expect their companies to support their values. "Cancel culture" is simply a derogatory term for workers and the public holding organizations accountable for the actions, decisions, and beliefs of those they employ.

How does this relate to the initial discussion? The end result is the same: your commenting behavior right now may jeopardize your career 10 years from now, therefore people are taking steps to mitigate that risk.
