The days of disagreeing but still getting along are long gone. The Woke 
cancel culture is for immediate dismissal of the person who disagrees with 
them. If they can cancel, they cancel, if they can't cancel they retreat. 
Any time you disagree with one of these Woke whiners, they call you a 
"hater" for taking a contrary position and arguing with them. This is what 
cults do, these are not the actions of reasonable people. 

My family was always an arguing family. We would argue politics, even 
religion, and ten minutes the argument was forgotten. I've never understood 
cliquish cult mentality. I've never wanted to be part of a clique.
