Reference :- Rowan Dean took to the street to interview people about the offensive cancel culture creeps and protestors who are destroying civilization as we know it .
To be sure Rowan , the cancel culture , as it is called , is a bit of a nuisance . Even hard line leftie intellectuals like Noam Chomsky find them an unwelcome distraction . I notice you failed to mention him when you listed other prominent lefties , and fair enough too . He is way too clever for most people . Did you ever see that fierce debate between Noam and the conservative icon William F Buckley junior ? Poor young William was so outclassed intellectually that one felt like shooting him to put him out of his misery . (And for a few other reasons also ).
Don't feel bad about the fact that nobody wanted to talk with you . There was no need to pretend that it was because they feared becoming victimized by a cohort of cancel culture canards . They merely appeared to be somewhat shy , and perhaps uncomfortable with your dishevelled , tousle haired Boris Johnson appearance .
Anyway , Rowan , like you I also deplore name calling , impolite discourse and disrespectful references to people in authority . It will be a sad day if we ever see examples of such behaviour on Sky News .
And also like you , Rowan , I find it alarming to watch the civic disobedience occasioned by the pandemic , the chaotic black lives matter (too) protests , and the latest in the three hundred year long packed cavalcade of capitalism's collapses. And I think you are entirely correct when you assert that this perfect storm of crises is being used by the left to try and completely overturn western civilization so that we never return to the way we were.
But as far as I am concerned , that is the only good thing about it all.
Your comrade , Ken
