Nah.

The issue with cancel culture is that those doing the canceling don't necessarily represent a majority of people. In fact, what they represent by necessity is a group of people who have the time on their hands to respond in force. Further, the main emotion driving cancel culture is outrage, an emotion carefully cultivated by media outlets because it's a great way to make money.

Those ingredients combined don't create "accountability", they create a mob. If you need to be convinced that mobs are a bad thing, look up Emmett Till.

Every generation has its issues. Don't fall into the trap of thinking yours (ours) doesn't.

You compared things like BLM calling out systemic racism to the lynching of Emmett Till.

Congratulations, you have written the worst comment I have ever seen on HN.

They pulled out Emmett Till being beaten to death and I'm being hyperbolic?
