Figuring Out Cancel Culture (and Why It Doesn't Really Work)

Why “cancel culture” work until it gotta work? Cancel culture is a modern internet phenomenon where a public figure is ejected from influence or fame due to their problematic actions. In the last two years, “cancellation” has worked as intended, in the cases of alleged predators R. Kelly and Harvey Weinstein. But, why hasn’t it worked in the case of someone like MAGA hat-wearing Kanye West, who infamously said slavery was a choice (and recently said black people are “culture-less”)? He was “canceled” and now has the #1 album on iTunes. In this episode of Figure Out Your Life podcast, I discuss cancel culture, and explore why it doesn’t really work for everyone and should be canceled.
