Episode #38: Cancel the Cancel Culture Mob
from Intellectual Freedom Podcast · host David D. Hopkins, PhD
Democracy is a fragile thing. A cornerstone of a vibrant democratic society includes freedom of expression. Cancel culture is the antithesis of freedom of expression. The emergence of cancel culture is a symptom of how sick American democracy has become in our modern world.When a society is more passionate about name-calling, de-platforming, shouting down, ignoring, or canceling opposing views than defending a position, critically evaluating opinions, and demonstrating open-mindedness, that society is killing itself from within.Cancel culture aligns perfectly with a one-opinion communist or socialist mindset, not democracy. It needs to stop. Left and Right need to come together and end cancel culture. This podcast discusses this ugly and dangerous phenomenon and the role all of us can play in overcoming this poisonous characteristic of America.Send us Fan MailFollow the Intellectual Freedom Podcast on Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581532813468 X : https://x.com/Int_Freedom_podLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/intellectual-freedom-podcast
