      I would say that ACTUALLY being “cancelled” is the exception.

      The vast majority of shitheads just pivot their grift fully to the chud base and then present themselves as a persecuted victim. And then “mainstream” media tries to rehabilitate them in a few years.

        I’d argue it’s the opposite.

        Most working class people can suffer real consequences as a result of it. Those who are rich, famous, and/or influential can afford to just pivot.
