This is something you could only claim to believe if you paid no attention to the way people actually use the term.

This is a very lame dismissal, which I'll just respond to similarly:

"Cancel culture" very clearly had crowds of people demanding someone lose money/access to a job/platform.

Perhaps we're just in different bubbles that don't overlap.

Being "lame" doesn't make it untrue. People use the term to refer to "shaming" (i.e., vocally disagreeing with) celebrities for their political stances, or refusing to patronize businesses that take political stances, for instance.
