What are the long term ramifications of Twitter outrage circles canceling people whose ideas don’t exactly align with the mob? I used to think this trend would fizzle off, or that institutions would learn to ignore a vocal minority, but it seems like neither of these are happening; that the problem is only becoming more perverse. Is this a predominantly North American thing, do other countries handle challenging discourse better?
