Funny, Tucker Carlson is still being broadcasted to millions of americans most nights. Where is this supposed "cancellation" of people who are critical of the war in Ukraine?

If what you're speaking about is free people exercising their freedom to associate (or not!) with you, everyone has a right to not associate with someone they don't like, barring very specific exceptions, and people may not like you for your opinion, meaning an opinion you have can lead to you being ostracized. For example, if my employer were to hire someone who used to be a local head of the KKK, I would likely be up in arms about that. Lot's of very conservative workplaces often feel the same about other things. Think about what happens when people who work for hobby lobby get upset about their employer's policies.

This isn't "cancel culture", it's literally humans being humans the same way we've done for 100,000 years. Hell, even monkeys make outgroups.
