The good news is that cancel culture took a major blow last week

The wokeists did their level best to cancel both Joe Rogan and Donald Trump, and they are now stronger than ever.

Everyone should be allowed to say whatever they think (with the existing restrictions against incitement to violence excluded) without fear for their jobs or livelihoods, and the world will be a better place for it.

It is striking and very sad that mainstream media were largely on the side of censorship over the last few years, which is an indictment of those who work in those companies (including the FT) and chose journalism as their profession.

Censorship should be the polar opposite of what a journalist stands for, not a means to suppress ideas that he or she finds personally unpalatable.
