I'm thinking back to my childhood. In the middle ages. It was a different time. Not necessarily a better one, just different. Public figures were a lot more circumspect with their opinions, and I don't remember any athletes trash talking their opponents, at least not on network television or in the newspapers. Funny, that. Those hardly even exist anymore.

Because the gift we got from 'social media' was the removal of public shame and now all the village idiots get to gather in one place and think they are smart instead of being properly isolated from others.

This is why I'm not generally a big fan of cancel culture. I don't want idiots to be silenced. I want them to speak their mind freely so that everyone who's looking can plainly see them for exactly what they are. Even when, every once in a while, I make the shortlist myself.
