....From my experience whenever great promises are in the air together with strong polarization among people that usually means common folks (like you and me) will lose a lot and will be left to ask themselves later, “What was all this about?” Because there is history and there is what actually happened.
In other ways, these times are different, so new factors are involved.
Blacklists What you call “canceling” is similar to something that has happened before.
“Blacklists” or “blacklisting” is a phenomenon that is not new, not at all, but what is different now is fact that we live in a time when everybody is constantly “plugged in”, online, hooked on a constant run for fresh news and similar.
We are conditioned to look for new info all the time, breaking news, newest event or research, it is not even important that a lot of that is simply fake or a spin on the same story. For the majority of people, the most important thing there that they are constantly “plugged in”.
Now, add to the fact that we are being ruled by the media, and the media is being ruled by whoever has more power or a more popular agenda. In short this “blacklisting” is brought to perfection in your current setting.
The wrong kind of perfection.
How free is your speech really? So, who can tell me how free speech is actually when someone is telling you what is wrong or right to say?
Freedom of speech is actually only when is telling, writing, or yelling things that you like? Otherwise I will lose my job? Or be labeled as a terrorist? Does anyone remember history classes about the rising of the Nazi party in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century, when kids were indoctrinated by rulers to “snitch” on their own parents if their mom or dad talked something against the ruling(Nazi) party? Do you remember how all that indoctrination eventually ended?
All this might sound like an overreaction to you, BUT sometimes the path between “they are wrong, let’s forbid them to talk freely” to “they are less valuable, let’s erase them” is short and fast.
And it’s not even about the political option, party, or view. I think the polarization and hate and fear is at that level when it is not important who rules anymore, because most of them will choose a similar path.......
Selco survived the Balkan war of the 90s in a city under siege, without electricity, running water, or food distribution.

So Selco, when do you think the shooting will start?
For the Communists of near past it was rendering someone as a non-person.
No one but the government can legally stop you from talking freely, but they may limit what you can say or do on their property. That's why the 1st Amendment applies only to the government.
Likewise, the only entity that can erase you is the government.
Is he the SHTFPlan.com guy?

Cancel Culture: in the 1930’s and 40’s led to people ovens and trains taking them there.
In Russia, the Terror etc.
China, unpersoning and vanishing.

History, as we know, is written by the winners not the losers!
When Selco speaks, one should listen.

Chode - no, I don’t have a Selco ping list. I should check to see how often he publishes articles though. If I can start one I will be sure to add you.
If it starts, don't try to cross Sniper's Alley!
Yes
Yeah, but they'll use the guy down the street to do it. From the locals the Einstatz groups used in eastern Europe, to the Hutu militias that hacked up unarmed Tutsi's, the government may promote the erasing; it's the true believers in the population that will carry it out.

You mean the Washington Mall?
Gina Carano was spot on.
