Doc, I think we all have to accept being canceled as "just part of it." I mean, if you aren't getting pushback then you aren't sayin' nothing. The people who get canceled, shadow banned, throttled back and sundry other suppressions are people who aren't on board with the B.S. Expect it. I could do a whole series of writings just on the B.S. I have went through just in self publishing. I've had to sue. It gets nasty. The remedy? I don't care to be honest. I don't write for money, fame or validation, I write for my family and a few friends. Once you don't care, you just do "your thing," the thing that you were put here for...Your work is for "who it is for," no one else, and cancel culture can't stop The Universe from messaging them.

Regards

This is precisely why I refuse to use their language. It is not “minor attracted person”, it is Pedophile. It is not “immigrant”, it is Illegal Alien. It is not a “vaccine”, it’s Gene Therapy. When we use their language, they change the public awareness to suit their agenda. They, in essence, change reality, just like they are trying to change history. This is far more dangerous than many realize. When they use labels like racist or transphobic, not only are they failing to make any kind of intelligent argument, they are influencing public interactions. People are afraid to appear as unkind, or uncaring, so they acquiesce. We need to stand our ground and speak truth, firmly and without vitriol. “It us what it is” and them calling it otherwise does not make it true!
