Here’s another reason i think cancel culture is stupid. Say someone really is a racist of the most extreme type who won’t even go to a gas station if the person at the register isn’t White.
If that person should impose their racist views on the company they’re working for, then you can use all sorts of legislation to penalize them for that.
But if you pre-emptive strike you don’t really have a moral ground.
when Saddam Hussein didn’t really have the WMD, that was a moral wrong on the united states, not on him.
Another analogy would be say there’s a known drug abuser in your company. You still don’t have the right to fire him unless he shows up to work high.
