I'm roughly in sync with your I-thought-you-were-better-than-this expression.
But. I think some people out to drive wedges are working overtime to frame a specific subset of "cancellation" as a civilizational threat.
Over the ~decade this has been trending as a narrative I've heard _many_ people all over the left-of-center ideology map _publicly_ express discomfort, disapproval, or outright opposition to this behavior. This isn't a meme spreading _without resistance_.
I don't think it is strategic to help habituate ~management to sacking people when they feel attacked, but I recommend being very skeptical of anyone who agitates on this without labor rights/law/power and ~management's role in the dance all inside their frame. (I realize this isn't a broad solution... more of a razor for separating good faith from bad.)
