Author, lawyer, and professor Dan Kovalik makes the case for CANCELING "Cancel Culture", from the left progressive perspective, because it's more important than ever to be able to speak freely. He uses examples of how people were unfairly attacked for questioning the lockdowns, which ended up transferring wealth to the 1% and impoverishing the Middle Class. He looks at the blindspots of people on both the right (e.g. QAnon) and the left (e.g. RussiaGate), how political parties have developed a religious nature to them requiring myths to hold their faiths together, and how postmodernism and the internet have contributed to a world where people no longer live in reality. He surprisingly finds conservatives to be more open-minded than liberals. He discusses his experience with BLM and how it is a departure from the historical civil rights movement. He discusses how the "Woke" movement has become very close with the CIA, Big Tech, and Wall Street. He advocates people being brave and speaking up in the face of Cancel Culture and Wokeism.
