Like an immature child who has discovered a very destructive toy, the woke Left has found that it can ruin people's careers and reputations by depicting them as "racists" for merely disagreeing over issues such as "white privilege" and "systemic racism" or irresponsible actions under color of Black Lives Matter. This is simply age-old trash from a brand-new dumpster.
Similar dangerous charlatans in past centuries could ruin people's reputations and even get them burned alive or lynched (think the Salem Witch Trials) by calling them witches, sorcerers, and/or heretics. Evidence, let alone proof beyond a reasonable doubt, was not required; the accusation was sufficient. Failure to support an accusation made the one who remained silent complicit in witchcraft or heresy, a lot like "silence is violence" today. Joe McCarthy and his associates similarly ruined countless reputations and careers during the 1950s by denouncing people as communists. That monster turned on its own creators, however, when the word "McCarthyite" began to depict those who engaged in this practice.
The label "canceler" can and should similarly close doors in the faces of those who bring social media and blog disputes into workplaces, whether their own or others.
Two important principles apply, and I shall explain each beginning with a quote:
If you have ever circulated or signed a petition to get a student expelled or forced to withdraw from college because you didn't like something he or she posted on a blog or social media, or to pressure an employer to fire somebody for the same reason, you might be upset at the prospect of your target and/or others branding you a canceler to limit your own employment and career opportunities. Please read King Henry V, Act 2, Scene 2, to understand why you have this coming.

How about a tattoo on their forehead?
...and its name is "affirmative action."

Does this mean that a client should not fire a service or business that had Biden Harris signs all over their yard? Asking for a friend.
I’m guessing that it’s ok, as long as my friend doesn’t go around telling everyone about it to try to cause them to lose more customers. I’m guessing that they have seen a dramatic decline in revenue as it is.
