You're being too binary and extreme. Justine Sacco being canceled and having her life ruined for posting a racial joke on Twitter was not okay. Leftist cancel culture had strong authoritarian vibes, and most people who were lynched by SJWs online absolutely did not deserve it. It was a danger to the spirit of free speech. Neither mob rule nor top-down dictatorial censorship is good. There has to be a more moderate option in-between.
I don't disagree. I did not go into enough detail on this, but I pointed out the contradictions in how the left approaches the issue as well (e.g. on the redemption question).
