This right here. This has been my position since the beginnings of the stirrings of the discontent that social media was powering years ago.

I think that this is why there has been such a push back by each of the demographics and movements that you listed. They each have a voice and can be more powerfully organized than ever before albeit in some cases a more superficial basis hence the rise of cancel culture.

Traditionally if you wanted to get a way from push back in your locale you moved. Now that is not an option since so much of your speech is tied to a identifiable account that follows you hence the social cooling.

I think this time of change is a phase of growing pains that might last generations that will see us wrestle with these issues for a long time.
