I mean, she was on the right... (Not excusing). I am not. They can't cancel me because I am not beholden to them or invested in their support. I guess my point was partly that they haven't rejected or abused me on account of some of the feminist beliefs I hold, and mostly that the left and feminists have been much worse to me than any right wing or conservative person. Like, people I know in real life — leftists and feminists — have been HORRID to me. On account of their blind allegiance to their tribe. Why is it that the left has been after me for so long, and that feminists have been so awful to me, but I have not been targeted like that by the right? Either way, I think it's best to stay independent, not beholden to parties or ideologies... Party or ideological loyalty is a problem no matter which side you are on.

Cult-like mentality is the short answer - heretics and apostates are always treated worse than infidels.
