Good read from 2013 that pretty much predicted the cancelling culture: Social media boosted leftist moral puritarism shaming and silencing its own ranks and effectively deactivating true activism

Lindsay's recent video reminded me of this article by Mark Fisher, from almost 10 years ago. While certainly not a flawless article, I do think there's a lot of home truths that also resonate with what happened with Lindsay.
