Cancel culture is a dress rehearsal for mass murder.If you can disappear someone from their job, or a digital or entertainment space, for example, with no one noticing, then it signals disappearing for real wouldnt be met with much blow back.

They're comparable in the way theyre the same thing but of different intensities.
An example can be found in someone like stefan molyneaux. Youtube deleted his channel, which had 15 years of content and he is fairly prolific, which would have an obvious effect on his income.
The reason why this is similar to mass murder is the illegitimate means that his channel was deleted; via the whim of a centralized power. Think of the holocaust, the holomodor, the cultural revolution etc.
So if there is no societal self correction mechanism to make things legitimate again in terms of attacks on ones reputational and financial then what is to stop it from escalating to murder?
If you think this sounds unreasonable think of how the media playing defence for the protesters allowed 2 billion dollars of property damage to go unpunished and the culture over whether rittenhouses claim to self defense is legit when there's video evidence.

It's a nice change. Someone explained a position. I'm used to just "reeee"
Entering into argumentation automatically insinuates a negotiation is at hand.
The rules and aims of negotiation is to reach a mutally beneficial end.
One thinks argumentation is valuable by virtue of entering it.
Dogs can commit speech acts, but cant engage in argumentation.
Anyone saying reeee only proves that they are dogs and the opinions of dogs are treated as such.
td;lr anything other than honest and committed engagement is a waste of everyone's time imo

In any case, google what a slippery slope fallacy is.

A society that allows adults to act like emotional terrorists towards their children, an association that involves zero choice on the child's part, will allow people to abuse their children.
The international statistics on child abuse are dismal, 80 percent of children are abused.
It's called the banality of evil, friend.
