Reacting Against the Overton Window and Cancel Culture
The expansion of cancel culture has led to reactions against the overton window being shut tight by the left. The argument was that widely held mainstream opinions were suddenly considered cancelable. This resulted in the formation of the 'intellectual dark web' where discussions on various topics were encouraged. However, an overreaction occurred as anything that went against the left's propriety was valued, leading to a misunderstanding where controversial statements were seen as true simply because they provoked a reaction from the left. This has resulted in a stance where if the left is offended by everything, the reaction is to be offended by nothing.
