Does the coming together of three forces in public discourse - a teflon establishment, the shrinking of middle ground and a diminished role of reason - signal a new social compact?
This is a really interesting perspective to understand the nature of our current discourse. I would also add that corporations by quickly reacting to this 'cancel culture' with firing the person in question have legitimized this culture to a large extent. But more so on US. Incidentally, I wrote something similar recently (https://allthingsequal.substack.com/p/cancel-culture-and-polarization-without)!
