This new term - called 'Cancel Culture' - is very popular in new generation, where they decide to cancel any person/organization, and boycott with throwing heavy abuse/shame on the internet/social media. This is a dangerous idea. A variant of populism and echo-chamber.
President Obama beautifully described when he said: “This idea of purity and you’re never compromised and you’re always politically ‘woke’ and all that stuff. You should get over that quickly. The world is messy. There are ambiguities. People who do really good stuff have flaws. People who you are fighting may love their kids. And share certain things with you.”
