I do wonder if mid 2020 will go down in history as peak cancel. I definitely have a sense that it is becoming less acceptable to publicly air one's grievances in the name of social justice. "Silence is violence" is another phrase that was very popular at that time. From my limited perspective, it seems like that same slogan today would be much less acceptable and get much less play.

Of course, two years is far too small a lag to do any real historical analysis of the situation. But it seems like the winds are blowing in a different direction now. I wonder where they will take us. Surely we live in exciting and interesting times.
