On Cancel Culture. From Judging to Lynching: Repressions and Discriminations in the Name of Morality
The “culture of erasure” actually accomplishes the erasure of culture and is part of the family of “political correctness”, along with Islamophilia, sexophobia (even towards the great nudes of art), censorship of classics that might offend some identity group, the lexical acrobatics of “gender”, the rejection of the biological existence of two sexes, etc. The paradox is that these policies are promoted by groups and environments that proclaim themselves “leftist”, “progressive” “radical”, while the (dis)values they seek to impose are exquisitely reactionary. A reasoned critical review, which we will sketch here, can demonstrate this.
