A bunch of no life soft cocks that have nothing better to do so they take it upon themselves to cancel controversial topics. Also known as social warriors, they often don't have father figures in their lives and are more then likely attention seeking by cutting themselves.
Alex: I cancelled chicos the other day because i am part of cancel culture.

Someone who challenges an established culture (usually a profoundly ignorant teenager or misguided Leftist) by claiming that it is a figment of one's imagination, a social construction, something that is entirely defined by a specific hierarchy which they see as the embodiment of evil impeding social progress. i.e white-supremacy, patriarchy, Islamophobia, etc
This person is also incapable of saying anything positive about their identity/culture. They are thinly disguised masochists who make an identity out of childish rebellion.
They are collectivists by nature because the axis of their argument excludes all individual behavior and only looks at the ends, not the means. Because they rely on collective guilt they also easily slip on the mask of fascism and totalitarianism. The antithesis (read: antidote) to their opposite political philosophy, which makes a complete mockery of Marx's ideas, is libertarianism.

Victims exhibit a failure to evaluate from a deeper scientific and historical standpoint, instead viewing it from a peer or cultural perspective.
Commercial Cultural Slavery:
A car loan is acceptable today because car companies wanted to increase sales, and changed their advertising to reflect loans. Over time, this has influenced us to consider it acceptable to own a car when you can't afford it.
Social Cultural Slavery:
Gay and lesbian couples are often accepted by those who shy away from researching said conditions because sodomy is a culturally ignored and often unacceptable subject. Such research unveils pornography, high abuse rates, and - of course - the lack of biological backing for the psychological condition.
