Admirable principles.
Regardless, if you called for assassination 100 years ago, I'm pretty sure you would be fired. That definition of cancel culture is so broad that it would cover every period, and that will not help distinguish the madness of the past 10 years or so.
But granting that this is cancel culture, these instances should still be sharply distinguished from what the radical left has engaged in, because they will use this to claim that 'we' are just as bad as they are.
100 years ago you would have been dragged out of your work place and beaten to death by a violent mob.
We're much more calm about our political disagreements than we used to be. The 90's was just a decade where the Left were still recovering from the absolute ass-blasting they got in the 80's as a result of the Days Of Rage campaign of the 70's, and the perpetual violence of the 1960's. Twenty years of constant Leftist violence and agitation ended with them pretending to be interested in lowering crime that they caused with the Warren court.
Simple; this isn't cancel culture, this is consequences for terrible behaviour. Labelling something cancel culture should be reserved for punishment over inconsequential transgressions.
