Rage Culture!!!

Calling it Cancel Culture misses the point.  It's really Rage Culture®.  Cancelling is just how the rage manifests.  Seems too many people use moral superiority (oh, sorry... virtue signaling) as an excuse to be incredibly short fused and intolerant toward those who hold a more narrow or naive view.   Pretty ironic considering most of that offending behavior itself (racism, sexism, homophobia...) is based on intolerance.

"I hate what you stand for and I'm cancelling you!" is far easier than trying to improve the situation.  Greeting the intolerant with intolerance solves nothing.
