This has never been the case. Persecution is a common cultural practice as old as time. The only difference now is that lor of folks identify with the people being persecuted, and this is the first time that has happened. In Canada alone Settler society tried to "cancel" Indigenous Languages and cultural practices. Until 1970s and later in some cases Canadians were trying to "cancel" homosexuality.
