Let Daniel Bessner of Jacobin tell to the people who have lost their jobs, livelihood, and social circles by woke mobs empowered by woke capital/corporations, academia, media, etc that those who made this happen to them are "weak".
Even if we accept Daniel's general interpretation here, what is cancel culture really accomplishing? It's not making anything better for anyone, and it's not harming anyone of real power. You can't take down Jeff Bezos or J.K. Rowling with cancel culture. Instead you take out an adjunct professor, a newspaper reporter, or some small business owner. It's not punching up at all; it's nothing but a Little League imitation of the Chinese Cultural Revolution, where anyone can in theory denounce anyone else, but in practice the truly powerful are still immune. So what good can it possibly do?
