    It's definitely out there, it's in the Universities which means it will continue to make it's way out in the real world.

    It would be easier to just ignore if didn't have the clout that it does. People's careers and lives are being ruined by it and companies do cave into it to stay on the right side of woke Twitter and their ever moving goalposts.

    There are some interesting cases coming out of people standing up to it and living to tell the tale.

    Can you evidence that these individuals have severe mental health issues, or is this just your emotional / triggered response?

    The cancel thing has been bumbling around for years. Who gets 'cancelled' and why is determined by the issue causing the most noise at any given moment.

    It's just bored billionaires funding various ex-couch potato stir groups for shifts and giggles. It is interesting that our services slept through this - maybe they didn't think of it as a threat to the nation's well-being.

    The poor also need circuses (apart from bread), so this is great way to get them engaged while other things can continue BAU.
