Better look at your social media — chances are you’re next to be canceled
[NYPOST] A short list of the people, movies, TV shows, CEOs, businesspeople, writers and institutions canceled — or on the verge of cancellation — over the past few days:

"Gone with the Wind," the long-running reality show "COPS," "The Help," two major newspaper editors, Andrew Sullivan’s column for New York magazine, the editor-in-chief of Bon Appétit, four "Vanderpump Rules" castmembers, "Live PD," the Brearley School on New York’s Upper East Side, the actual police, cook Alison Roman (again), the top editor and co-founder of Refinery29, Anna Wintour, the founder and CEO of Crossfit, "The Flash" actor Hartley Sawyer, the CEO of reliably Democrat Chicago, aka The Windy City or Mobtown
...home of Al Capone, the Chicago Black Sox, a succession of Daleys, Barak Obama, and Rahm Emmanuel...
’s famed "Second City" improv group, "Law & Order" writer Craig Gore, Corcoran realtor Joseph Swedroe and economics professor Harald Uhlig (never heard of those last two either, but it goes to show you no one is safe).

This all comes as America rages over the death of George Floyd and reckons with endemic, institutionalized racism. But there’s a misguided approach here in which all offenses, be they subtle or enormous, born of ignorance or malice, result in the loss of reputations and livelihoods.

#1 Next step -- deep fake accounts with "unacceptable" content for everyone, including those not actually on social media.

To be held in reserve when needed.

The technogarchs must be destroyed.

And any Muh Free Market Princapullz hack that defends them needs to go too.

#2 China has invested 19 million in our media I saw somewhere. Gee, that was nice of them.

#3 Well if I was in antisocial media, I probably would already have been canceled.
So. "Welcome from the abyss of the incorrect, come on in, the water's fine. I'm in the shady spot near the beer vendor."
