I have recently done a 180 on "Cancel Culture," or what I call "the politics of shame." I was once an avid supporter of the idea that you shouldn't shame others as a tenant of political organizing (see Unpacking the Deadly Politics of Shame), but recently I have changed my mind. Shame can sometimes have excellent results in the realm of politics (see Historically, Shame Has (Sometimes) Been A Good Thing), and we do ourselves a disserve in disavowing it.

We must be ever diligent, ever aware of the direct purpose and innate actions of others who may rise. We cannot be distracted by the unnecessary wants of power. Power carries great responsibilities, it carries weight, it carries legacies, and it carries purpose. We must never let power be given to those who are reckless, ruthless, or vindicative. We must not allow ourselves to be illusioned with power. We cannot let ourselves be distracted by wills and rights that do not belong to us. We must never let our hopes be written on the wrong side of history. We must never let our hopes be for dominance and control. We must never seek power. Power is in the many and not the few. Power is in the hopes, power is in the necessity and not the want. Power is a great responsibility and its jurisdiction and authority must be taken with caution and due diligence. We cannot sleep when power is being abused. We cannot back down or bite our tongues against those who seek tyranny. We must stand up to those who are blatant liars and thieves. It is our responsibility to restore the rights of leadership, the rights of the people, and the governance that will lead us into the next millennium.

Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away.
