Free speech in Germany exists only in theory. Just try opposing official government measures in public and you quickly get cancelled.

What do you mean by this word? I’ve seen it used as a political meme, but the usage always makes it seem like the supposed victim has some kind of entitlement to be a widely admired public figure regardless of what they say or do, without regard to the fleeting nature of fame and the fickleness of public admiration.

Thank you. That gives clear and concise words to my qualms about 'cancel culture'.

Given @vanviegen thanked me and put the phrase in quotations, I think their problem is with the quotation rather than referent. https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/np3tP49caG4uFLRbS/the-quotat...
