Shame, Safety and Moving Beyond Cancel Culture: I’ve been thinking lately about how to move beyond the binary debate over cancel culture. And a good place to start is with the deeper question we’re all trying to ask: What is the kind of politics — the kind of society — we’re trying to achieve in our fights over acceptable speech?

When is cancellation merited or useful? When is it insufficient or harmful? And what other tools are available in those cases? Natalie Wynn runs the YouTube channel ContraPoints.
