They hate the fact that most people no longer listen to their bullshit.
They say they are all about free speech, but as soon as someone else uses their own free speech to criticize their ideas, they all fall aback about how they're being attacked personally and being "cancelled". All this instead of recognizing the critique and responding to them honestly. It's a double standard.
These people were all in favour of cancel culture when it meant the silencing of criticism of evangelical pastors, or the silencing of those trying to expose the child rape epidemic amongst clergy of all religions, or the the fact that the Austrian school of economics is pure bullshit, or that "law and order" meant killing black men and women with impunity. But now that people are looking for the truth, it's all "we can't kill 'freeze peach'".
