Hardeep Matharu and Joe Twyman delve into the origins and consequences of cancel culture and the culture war
At some point, someone must have declared a culture warThe media is stuffed with stories of academics and celebrities losing their jobs, platforms and voice for speaking in a way a small, yet seemingly powerful, authority disapprovesAre authors, academics and artists on the political naughty step, silenced until they are readmitted in to society? Is free speech and free thought are risk; or is cancel culture a response to views and actions that could cause harm? Are the aggressors of the culture war primarily on the left? Are politically motivated called to defund the BBC, violent protests at drag queen story time or the Public Order Bill banning protest the flip-side of cancelling culture?
Hardeep Matharu, Editor at Byline Times, and Joe Twyman, director at Deltapool discuss cancel culture and the culture war, where it's from, who benefits from perpetuating the idea of a culture war and what the cultural landscape may be like if they persists
