I agree. I believe what may be happening is that many people are not discussing their actual views at this point, out of fear of cancellation. People are rightly afraid that questioning of anything associated with "Left" automatically means "Right", and since this is a "prepare to cancel" indicator, they are silencing themselves.

At a recent small party of my neighbors, a woman from China brought up the issue of how we are no longer to speak freely about many topics, for fear of being misunderstood, losing friends, or even potentially fired, and how reminiscent this was of her experiences during the Cultural Revolution. I was somewhat shocked that she raised the issue, but was completely amazed that all of my neighbors opened up about feeling exactly the same way. It was an amazing and healing experience for everyone, and some of my neighbors later expressed a lot of gratitude that she actually took a chance to open this topic. I think this is a good way to fight this burgeoning fascism, by trying to talk about it openly with others in real life.
