"Mention the name AOC favorably, and you will be shut down."

No, this is not remotely true. They'll downvote you into obvlivion on 'Fox News' comments - but this is not cancel culture.

Nobody is 'losing their job' and being 'publicly shamed' because they said the 'like AOC'.

Sure - you might get a few Trumpers in your face for supporting one of the more perceptibly radical faces of the Demcorcatic party - but that's just 'angry culture' - not cancel culture.

" Parler censored people for supporting BLM."

I strongly doubt this is true - even if it is - again, this is not 'cancel culture' - this is just bad groupthink on a site.

If executives and staff were being fired and losing their jobs for showing up at a BLM rally, or donating money to BLM - that would be 'cancel culture' - but I don't believe that is happening.
