But over the past few years, many right-wing conservatives, as well as liberals who object to more strident progressive rhetoric, have developed the view that “cancel culture” is a form of harassment intended to silence anyone who sets a foot out of line under the nebulous tenets of “woke” politics. So the idea now represents a vast assortment of objectives and can hold wildly different connotations, depending on whom you’re talking to.
The thing about the Woke folks is that they do things while simultaneously denying they don't. So they cancel someone but the liberal press denies it happened. It is certainly a form of harassment, not dissimilar to official government activities in fascist and communist states with the difference being that in Germany and Russia, the state forced the people to do it while in the West today the people are forcing the government!
