As expected, the cancel culture is already out of control, now devouring itself. One day it's the statue of Teddy Roosevelt. The next day it's the smash musical Hamilton. One day it's J. K. Rowling. The next it's a Vox editor who stood with Rowling. How do we overcome this dangerous and self-destructive culture? Here are 5 simple steps.

1. Speak louder.

The concept is simple. The more people try to silence you, the louder you speak. The more they try to shut you up, the louder you shout. The more doors they shut in your face, the more you open. You use the attempts to silence you as the platform on which you stand.

But you don't do this as a victim. You do it as someone who is unfettered, who will not be muzzled, who is emboldened by the opposition. Feed off of the attacks that come against you just as a fire feeds on wood.
The cancel culture will help you get your message out.

2. Learn the principle of losing your life to save your life.

This is something Jesus spoke of frequently, saying, "For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it" (Matthew 16:25).

What, exactly, did he mean? I believe these words from a famous sermon by Dr. Martin Luther King explain the essence of what the Lord was saying.

Speaking at a church gathering in Selma, Alabama, March 8, 1965, King said "If a man happens to be 36 years old as I happen to be and some great truth stands before the door of his life — some great opportunity to stand up for that which is right — he's afraid his home will get bombed or he's afraid he will lose his job or he's afraid that he will get shot or beat down by State Troopers; he may go on and live until he's 80 but he's just as dead at 36 as he would be at 80 and the cessation of breathing in his life is merely the belated announcement of an earlier death of the spirit."

We save our lives by losing them, meaning, by standing for what is right no matter the cost or consequence.

I would add one myself.

6.  DO NOT APOLOGIZE EVER.

"Cancel Culture" was allowed to sprout within the same social fabric of the "Political Correctness" philosophy, which metastasized over the past couple decades.

Sins of omission do have consequences.

With hindsight being 20/20, it would appear to have been all planed decades ago, there was nothing surprising about the progression.
With one caveat, the DNC panicked and moved up their agenda 20 years ahead of schedule , which proved to be its demise.

No question that the left had a plan set in motion years ago. At the conclusion of WW-2, it was a huge mistake to let Russia get the deal they did. Patton's warrior instincts were spot on about them all along, IMO.
Reagan understood the mission-creep' of commies years ago and spoke forcefully against giving any leeway to leftist causes, or their sympathizers, for that matter. No one spoke more accurately and effectively against the commies than Reagan. Just listen to his early speeches before he became POTUS. He was sounding the clarion call before before you could spell the word, R-E-D.

All true!
Sadly, the nation was warned decades ago in the form of the "Communist Goals 1963".
