Callout or cancel culture is prevalent in the age of social media. Or is it actually an innate trait in humans for the sake of survival?

Gut wrenching episode about the MeToo movement and the rough and crude power of social justice. The community steps in in very painful ways when the system fails to establish boundaries and fails to provide justice.

Being involved in the social justice scene where I am, I've seen first-hand someone who was called out in this way and is now cancelled....Show More
