You're right that this specifically does not matter; if this were an isolated incident no one would care and even though it's not it's not even a particularly egregious instance of people trying to enforce their ideology by undercutting someone's access to their audience. James Bennet he ain't.

It also seems like an example of this behaviour that's almost certain to fail. Joe Rogan makes the people who matter too much money to be cancelled. He's not in any need of any defense from this and frankly, he sucks, so it's not very rewarding to defend him anyway.

That of course misses the point of the broader impact of this culture war, as described in my last post. The impact of this stuff isn't felt by filthy rich people like Joe Rogan, it's a wider problem. The more you have to lose, the more you're going to keep your head down.

I'm not sure why you're so focused on the outrage from the right about "cancel culture", though, while dismissing the fact that any instance of "cancel culture" controversy is initially framed by people stirring up outrage over (for example) some offensive thing someone said a decade prior, and suggesting that everyone enlist in the cause of doing as much personal and professional damage to the person who dared utter those words as can be managed. There are certainly people profiting from self-righteous outrage on both sides of the issue, and doing so in cases where it absolutely is not warranted and shouldn't matter, so focusing on the people who are doing it from the reactionary side of things doesn't make a whole lot of sense. Tucker Carlson wouldn't have this particular soapbox to stand on and create mountains out of meaningless molehills if not for the simultaneous existence of actual mountains.

Certainly right that there's nothing that's going to be done about any of this by writing about it on a Calgary hockey forum, of course, but that's true of literally everything.
