Topics
Chris Willx：近年来，取消文化成为热门话题，其根源在于过度保护儿童和受害者文化，导致社会对危险言论和行为过度关注。取消文化似乎与一本关于言论自由的书的出版时间巧合。 Rikki Schlott：美国精英机构几十年来忽视言论自由的价值观，导致激进主义和令人不安的自由主义倾向滋生。近年来取消教授的尝试数量惊人，其频率是麦卡锡主义时期的两倍。社交媒体使得取消文化像野火一样蔓延，因为它允许人们通过攻击个人来避免参与论证。取消文化的兴起是几十年来机构逐渐远离言论自由价值观的结果，以及几代人对经典自由主义价值观的偏离。几代人对美国社会基本原则的理解发生了根本性的转变，从韧性转向保护主义。大约三分之二的大学生和百分之九十的教授认为存在自我审查现象，十分之一的教授因受保护言论而受到调查。取消文化呈现周期性波动，并在社会动荡时期加剧。2020年，尽管学生不在校园，取消文化的案例数量却创下了历史新高。对推特大规模封禁的分析表明，审查制度并不能消除有害观点，反而会将其转移到互联网的更隐蔽角落。取消文化源于对对话机制和改变思想方式的误解。取消文化从很小的时候就开始实施，社交媒体加剧了这一现象，导致青少年时期就面临着被取消的风险。仅仅拥有言论自由法律并不能保证言论自由的文化存在，文化实践才是关键。许多人为了获得可预测性而牺牲自由，因为面对与自己观点相悖的观点会让人感到不安。社交媒体的早期阶段类似于印刷术的发明，带来了混乱和不确定性，但最终可能导致积极的文化变革。被认为是“取消”的观点范围不断扩大，包括承认生物性别等。一些高知名度人士成功抵制了取消文化，但许多人没有这种资源或平台。解决取消文化的方法包括改进育儿方式、改变高等教育体系以及企业营造言论自由的文化。 Chris Willx：许多人为了获得可预测性而牺牲自由，因为面对与自己观点相悖的观点会让人感到不安。政治极化使政治与个人认同更加紧密地联系在一起，对观点的攻击被视为对个人的攻击。

Shownotes Transcript

Rikki Schlott is a journalist, columnist, free speech activist, and author.

Saying "you can't say anything any more" is the internet's tagline. Cancel culture has been the hot topic over the last few years. But why has it taken over the discourse so much and just how much truth is there that it's getting worse than ever before?

Expect to learn what Rikki uncovered from a mass analysis of Twitter bans, whether the rates of people being cancelled are increasing, if the cancellers actually enjoy the cancelling of people, what drove the increase in cancellations, if free speech is really dead in America, whether apologising works and much more....
