-'''Cancel culture''' is the banning of individuals from [[employment]] and social status based upon their race, ethnicity, or ideology. It originated in [[Nazi Germany]] in the 1930s to remove [[Jew]]s from all aspects of public life. <ref>https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/how-the-nazis-pioneered-cancel-culture-</ref> It is a [[radical-left]] extremist idea.
-The term describes a phenomenon related to [[political correctness]] wherein one is "cancelled" (i.e., censored, boycotted, cyber-bullied, etc.) for being of the wrong race or saying or doing something allegedly immoral/amoral, [[bigotry|bigoted]], insensitive or purposefully offensive, or simply politically incorrect.
-Certain aspects of cancel "cult"ure may lead one to argue that it is, in fact, a [[cult]].<ref>https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/happiness-and-the-pursuit-leadership/201906/the-apocalyptic-cult-cancel-culture</ref>  Numerous mainstream liberals signed an open letter deploring cancel culture as inherently opposed to freedom of opinion, open discussion, and reasonable discourse.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2fJ0f5Fp1c</ref>
-[[United States]] President [[Donald John Trump]] unequivocally condemned the "cancel culture" of the [[2020 Leftwing insurrection]] in a speech delivered at [[Mount Rushmore]] on [[Independence Day]].<ref>https://www.oann.com/president-trump-praises-american-history-condemns-cancel-culture-during-mount-rushmore-4th-of-july-event/</ref><ref>https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2020/07/04/at-mount-rushmore-trump-warns-of-a-cultural-revolution-destroying-the-american-revolution-n603801</ref>
-==Critical race theory==
-:{{See also|Critical race theory}}
-Critical race theory (CRT) is a [[Postmodernist]] construct based on [[Critical theory]] that teaches that race is not [[genetic]].  Instead, race is a [[social construct]] and a basis for political struggles in the fight for [[social justice]].  Descendants of "[[colonialism|colonial]]" cultures are discriminated against and indigenous peoples are celebrated.
-Stella Morabito describes CRT as, ". . . the insidious ideology being used to promote estrangement rather than friendship, and hostility rather than goodwill. Indeed, the tactics used by proponents of critical race theory share many parallels with old tactics used by the [[Bolshevik]]s."<ref>https://thefederalist.com/2020/09/29/critical-race-theory-is-a-classic-communist-divide-and-conquer-tactic/</ref>
-[[Republican]] Representative [[Louie Gohmert]] has offered to cancel the [[Democrat Party]] for its history of [[racism]] and [[slavery]].<ref>https://www.newsmax.com/politics/rep-louie-gohmert-democratic-party-slavery-cancel-culture-movement/2020/07/23/id/978664/</ref>
-==YouTube==
-[[YouTube]]r [[PewDiePie]] reviewed a video from the company ''Jubilee'' containing a debate over cancel culture, which included [[conservative]] music artist Joy Villa as an opponent to cancel culture. Though PewDiePie facetiously called the discussion, "the least productive thing I've ever seen," he was able to thoroughly discuss and analyze the various nuances in the topic of cancel culture. PewDiePie, who has had experiences with being "cancelled" himself, appreciated that bad people must face the consequences of their actions, especially in [[best of the public|the court of public opinion]], but ultimately condemned the overzealousness of cancel culture in harassing people and/or destroying their livelihoods without regard to [[due process]] (the idea that a person is innocent until proven guilty, which is non-existent within cancel culture). PewDiePie argued that cancel culture often goes "too far." He specifically named instances of several YouTubers being cancelled unfairly. He concluded that, though there are rational and legitimate reasons to support cancel culture, he personally opposes it and believes that it does more harm than good to society and culture.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKCrRH-1l_k</ref>
-==Cancellation of movement conservatives==
-Unfair examples of cancel culture within conservative circles include the cases of [[Todd Akin]] and [[Steve King]]. More justified examples include a loose cluster of [[movement conservative]]s, [[right-wing populist]]s, and civic [[nationalist]]s, who had previously grouped together under the term "alt-right," until morality forced them to condemn the numerous [[white nationalist]]s and other extremists who were carrying the "alt-right" label. As they became increasingly outspoken against the white supremacists, they were arbitrarily nicknamed by the latter, "alt-lite." They subsequently adopted the term "new right." The new right repeatedly condemned [[racism]], [[anti-Semitism]], [[xenophobia]], and all other forms of bigotry in no uncertain terms.
-Arguably, some of the "victims" of cancel culture have deserved these consequences, but the vast majority are good people who received a disproportionate response.  The racial bigots and ethnocentrists were annoyed by the way they were treated by legitimate conservatives, but they unquestionably deserved this treatment. (See [[Alt-right#Distinction from National Socialism (Nazism)]]) An additional example of justified cancel culture within conservative circles would be legitimate conservatives' condemnation of the white nationalist "groypers." Like the alt-right white nationalists of 2017, the groypers of 2019-2020 were racists, anti-Semites, and xenophobes. There was an additional element of bigotry against homosexuals and transexuals, in the manner of the [[Westboro Baptist Church]]. Some of the white nationalist groypers' defenders were even fired from their jobs by legitimate conservatives who did not want to be associated with the groypers. Unfortunately, some legitimate conservatives sided with the groypers, oblivious to the fact that the groypers whined about censorship while demanding that legitimate conservatives such as [[Charlie Kirk]] and [[Ben Shapiro]] be "cancelled."[https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Essay:The_Groyper_Wars&oldid=1625442]
-==Maoist rectification==
-[[File:Li660912-1-b.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Self-criticism and public shaming is the core of Progressive rectification.]]
-:{{See also|Rectification}}
-According to [[Rebel News]], modern cancel culture was inspired largely by [[Communist]] [[China]]'s [[Cultural Revolution]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na6tkgxEc8Y&feature=youtu.be</ref>  [[Maoist]]s instituted a national cancel-culture campaign that burned books, demolished statues, erased history, destroyed culture and cultural norms in a re-education campaign that replaced traditional Chinese culture with Maoist slogans and loyalty to the state.
-Rectification is aimed at purging society of dissenters of leftwing, communist, and [[atheist]] [[totalitarian]] rule, and purifying society for a future [[socialist]] order.  To rectify, is to "make right" imaginary crimes of [[capitalist]]s and beneficiaries of so-called "[[white privilege]]".  Self-criticism and confession is forced either through torture or public shaming.
-Linda Goudsmit says in contemporary America, the radical leftist Democrats are following the Maoist cancel-culture model. They are targeting the three supporting pillars of American society; the American family, Judeo-Christian faith, and the [[U.S. Constitution]] symbolized by the American flag. Cancel-culture is asymmetric warfare used by the advancing enemy to prepare the population for a replacement ideology.<ref>http://goudsmit.pundicity.com/25228/the-collapsing-american-family</ref>
