'''Cancel culture''' is the banning of individuals from [[employment]] and social status based upon their racialrace, ethnicethnicity, or ideological viewsideology. It originated in [[Nazi Germany]] in the 1930s to remove [[Jew]]s from all aspects of public life.<ref>https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/how-the-nazis-pioneered-cancel-culture-</ref>
The term describes a phenomenon related to [[political correctness]] wherein one is "cancelled" (i.e., censored, boycotted, cyber-bullied, etc.) for being of the wrong race or saying or doing something allegedly immoral/amoral, [[bigotry|bigoted]], insensitive or purposefully offensive, or simply politically incorrect.
[[United States]] President [[Donald John Trump]] unequivocally condemned the "cancel culture" of the [[2020 Leftwing insurrection]] in a speech delivered at [[Mount Rushmore]] on [[Independence Day]].<ref>https://www.oann.com/president-trump-praises-american-history-condemns-cancel-culture-during-mount-rushmore-4th-of-july-event/</ref><ref>https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/tyler-o-neil/2020/07/04/at-mount-rushmore-trump-warns-of-a-cultural-revolution-destroying-the-american-revolution-n603801</ref>

[[YouTube]]r [[PewDiePie]] reviewed a video from the company ''Jubilee'' containing a debate over cancel culture, which included [[conservative]] music artist Joy Villa as an opponent to cancel culture. Though PewDiePie facetiously called the discussion, "the least productive thing I've ever seen," he was able to thoroughly discuss and analyze the various nuances in the topic of cancel culture. PewDiePie, who has had experiences with being "cancelled" himself, appreciated that bad people must face the consequences of their actions, especially in [[best of the public|the court of public opinion]], but ultimately condemned the overzealousness of cancel culture in harassing people and/or destroying their livelihoods without regard to [[due process]] (the idea that a person is innocent until proven guilty, which is non-existent within cancel culture). PewDiePie argued that cancel culture often goes "too far." He specifically named instances of several YouTubers being cancelled unfairly. He concluded that, though there are rational and legitimate reasons to support cancel culture, he personally opposes it and believes that it does more harm than good to society and culture.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKCrRH-1l_k</ref>
According to [[Rebel News]], modern cancel culture was inspired largely by [[Communist]] [[China]]'s [[Cultural Revolution]].<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na6tkgxEc8Y&feature=youtu.be</ref>
==Cancellation of movement conservtivesconservatives==
Unfair examples of cancel culture within conservative circles include the cases of [[Todd Akin]] and [[Steve King]]. More justified examples include a loose cluster of [[movement conservative]]s, [[right-wing populist]]s, and civic [[nationalist]]s, who had previously grouped together under the term "alt-right," until morality forced them to condemn the numerous [[white nationalist]]s and other extremists who were carrying the "alt-right" label. As they became increasingly outspoken against the white supremacists, they were arbitrarily nicknamed by the latter, "alt-lite." They subsequently adopted the term "new right." The new right repeatedly condemned [[racism]], [[anti-Semitism]], [[xenophobia]], and all other forms of bigotry in no uncertain terms.
