> Purpose of cancel culture is lynching

No, it's not, and saying it is is trivializing lynching. Which, given the political alignment of the people usually arguing the loudest against cancel culture, is unsurprising.

Can you be more precise by what you mean by lynching?

If I retweet a message that says "X assaulted Y" and X ends up fired later, have I participated in a lynching?
