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>  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.

==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]
