If the right were getting people fired for perfectly ordinary left-wing opinions supported by a majority of people, that might count as cancel culture. Like "I support single-payer health care" or "ban assault weapons [sic]".
Getting people fired for advocating the assassination of a president, whether it is right or wrong, is not 'cancel culture'. Who here would be surprised or outraged if a company fired someone for publicly advocating the killing of Joe Biden?
I think they're the same concept but there's a difference in magnitude.
E.g., being fired for privately not calling a girl a boy versus getting fired for publicly wishing assassination upon someone and all that that implies.
That is such a huge difference in magnitude that it is a difference in quality.
Advocating assassination, of anyone, in my view is not legitimate discourse. I'm not just saying this because it's my ox that's being gored. I condemned the crazies who were making fun of Pelosi's husband.
Advocating assassination can never be put on the same plane as pointing out pure facts.
