JB Peterson famously stirred the pot by demanding an end to anon posting. I thought that was rich. When he, a public intellectual, gets targeted by the mob, he raises his profile and sells a few thousand more books. If I, a quiet professional, get cancelled, I’m just out of a livelihood. My plight will not get front page coverage or really even make a ripple.

Good Point! "public intellectual" indeed. Too smart for his own good or lacking in self awareness and what his statements can bring = The law of unintended consequences.

Even a GoFundMe site will be cancelled.
Right there with you.
